Author has written 41 stories for Lord of the Rings, Dark is Rising Sequence, Chronicles of Narnia, House, M.D., and Harry Potter. Me I am a soon-to-be college freshman who simply loves writing. I love creating characters, setting up plots, and most of all, playing with emotions. I also like to get inside the head of other people's characters, hence my presence in fanfiction. While original fiction will always be the highlight for me, fanfiction has become my place to escape, a refuge from the world. I wrote some fanfiction when I was twelve/and thirteen and posted it on here, then moved towards original fiction for quite a while. Now I'm back, and hopefully much better. My main home is in the Narnia section, but I do read and write other fandoms ocassionally. favorite fandoms: Chronicles of Narnia, the Dark is Rising, Lord of the Rings, National Treasure, House MD favorite characters in no particular order: Peter Pevensie, Edmund Pevensie, Eustace Scrubb, Jill Pole(Narnia), Aragorn, Legolas, Faramir(LOTR), Robert Chase, Allison Cameron(House), Riley Poole(National Treasure) I am a Christian and my beliefs will show through my stories. These are (usually) not done on purpose, but they are there. I can't help it nor do I want to. Any writing talent has been given to me by God and I want to use these talents to glorify him. I will not flame you for your beliefs, so please do not flame me for mine. I do not agree with slash or incest writing, especially in the Narnia fandom, but I realize if this is your desire, you have the free will to write as you please, and I am under no obligation to read it. However, please do not ask me to read stories with those themes in them, as I will not be able to fulfill your request. Also, I will never, ever, ever write slash. If I'm working with two main male characters I usually add a "non-slash" in the summary, but even if I forget to add one, none of my writing will ever be slash. If you read my writing when my name was Lothlorien Leaf, please do not judge me by my writing talents I had then! I like to think I've improved a great deal. And as a note, I've been given many compliments and questions on my username, but, even though I wish I came up with it all by myself, the shadow proves the sunshine is the title of a Switchfoot song. I picked it because it makes so much simple sense- the shadow does prove the sunshine- but yet it seems contradictory at the same time. I thrive on contradictions and paradoxes(the good ones) and as such I thought it was a good fit. Note/Update July 1st, 2009: I now have a blog devoted to information and backgrounds on my fanfics and my writings. You can check it out by clicking the link under my homepage. Favorite Quotes: In a thousand words I can have the Lord's Prayer, the 23rd psalm, the Hippocratic oath, a sonnet by Shakespeare, the Preamble to the Constitution, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and almost all of the Boy Scout Oath. Now exactly what picture were you planning to trade for all that?-Roy H. Williams Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity. - 1 Timothy 4:12(bible) For business reasons, I must preserve the outward sign of sanity.- Mark Twain From the attic poor to the palace grand the king and beggar went hand in hand. -The Shadow of the Cross, John McCrae If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now, put foundations under them.-Henry David Thoreau Love seeketh not itself to please Lyrical Challenge I have started a challenge to write stories inspired by a single lyric of a song. I wrote down fifty random lyrics. I can use the entire lyric, the idea of the lyric, or just the word of a lyric to inspire a story. Many of them will be oneshots, but some will probably be multichaptered. They can be in any fandom. As I complete a story based on a lyric, I will record it here. 1. As he cries out to the heavens, "I am not my father's son."(Father's Son-3 Doors Down) -Wrote "Legacies" 2. You come to me with scars on your wrist(The Last Night-Skillet)- wrote "Scars" 3. Because there ain't nothing funny with a soldier cries(Letters from Home-John Michael Montgomery)- wrote "When a Soldier Cries" 4. Deliver us from these prisons(Your Love is Strong-John Foreman)-wrote "Bonds" 5. When the Blood stains dry(To Know that You're Alive-Kutless)wrote "Stained" 6. Stand in the rain/stand your ground(Stand in the Rain-Superchick)- wrote "They Walked in the Rain" 7.This darkness would turn to light(Storm-Lifehouse)-wrote "Light After Rain 8. I try to hold on to this world with everything I have (There Will be a Day- Jeremy Camp) wrote "To Let Go" 9. I am damaged at best, as you've already figured out (Broken-Lifehouse) wrote "A Broken Soul" Stories Through Shadow and Fire is no longer on hiatus and is going strong. I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of Summer, and I'm making good progress on this goal. To anyone who's reading this and has stuck with the story through all the ups and downs, thank you. Your appreciation means everything to me. Falls the Shadow- This is such a large project to take on, the idea for the story is quite long(my outline is at least 25 chapters) and I've been putting it off for awhile. I wasn't going to even start until I finished "Through Shadow and Fire", but I started by posting the prologue as a means to keep myself going on it. Still, while I may get the first chapter or so up, don't expect any big updates until "Through Shadow and Fire" is done. Possible Stories that May Appear Soon projects that I'm working on/planning: Every Lament- When Peter is thought to be fallen to battle, Edmund, and the rest of the kingdom, must learn how to deal without their High King. A short(er) multi-chaptered fic I'm hoping to get up sometime. I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day- House fandom. The story of Chase's faith, breakdown, and return to faith, all set to the old Christmas carol. A story I desperately want to write, but I seem to be struggling to find the right words. It's a short piece, probably two chapters at the most, but young Chase is hard to write. I'm planning on posting it in December this year. On a final note, if anyone is interested I also have a fictionpress account: http://www.fictionpress.com/~theshadowprovesthesunshine, but most of the writing is quite old. I do write quite a bit of original fiction and poetry, and I'm working on getting it on my blog. | |||||||||||
