This is mainly status on fanfiction stories. If you would like to see what else is going on in my life, go to thedreamcreator.livejournal.com. I may write story-related updates on there and not on here, so check it out! Please see alyssabcole.webs.com for information on my original novels.

8/9/11: After completing "The Last Fifteen Summers" and "Foster Everlasting" in July, I am presently focusing on my novels. I very well might update a fanfiction before next summer, but for now, we'll assume that's the latest we will wait before my fanfics are updated. To those of you who've messaged me, I'm super swamped right now and I promise that while I will try to get back to you before the end of August, I will DEFINITELY reply during the beginning of September. Thanks for your patience!

4/13/11: Surprise! I have not abandoned FF. I apologize for alarming some of you, particularly "Destiny" readers. I am feeling much better, and I appreciate all of your concern. For about a month in late 2010, I was easily distressed due to various reasons (none of them serious, but just combined into a massive snowball) and I concluded I could not write, should not write, will not write. Thanks to some of the things that were upsetting me passing, as well as all of you and my family, friends and classmates, I have been writing more than ever. However, I am trying a different approach. I am mostly focusing on my novels, but I am also writing fanfiction. I already have a few oneshots/chapters completed. My plan is to finish up a few more, and then begin posting one chapter/oneshot every two weeks. Thank you all so much for all of your support. It really helped me get through whatever-it-was in 2010, and my 2011 has been very bright! The next two months will be my final AP test and graduation, so if I don't update by June, definitely expect something in June/July!

10/03/10: "163 people have you as a favorite author. 107 have you on alert." I am so honored! Thank you so much, everyone! Especially since I haven't been updating a lot. I'm happy to say that this delay is partly due to the fact that I AM writing, it's just that I am focusing on my original works. Besides that, I'm also busy with high school, busy with the two college classes I'm taking (gotta love PSEO), busy with work, busy, busy, busy. Well, I did warn you that it would be a busy year. Today I downloaded the free program StoryBook to help me organize my original novels, and it just occurred to me--I am so slow!--that I can use it for fanfiction stories as well! Hopefully, this will help get my creative juices flowing once NaNo is over. Believe me, my fanfics have not been forgotten. You are not forgotten. Thank you so much for your patience; I hope you understand. :)

5/15/10: Hey everyone! I'm now a published author! Well, self-published, but it's still exciting! Please check out my website, alyssabcole.webs.com, and go to Novels. Click on the title "Under the Flag of Stars and Stripes", and voila! You can purchase my book! Please, please do so; I'd appreciate it so much!

3/31/10: Hello, everyone. I've begun working on Destiny again, and I hope to have the next up sometime this week. Thanks to those of you who took my survey.

3/9/10: Busy, busy, busy. I'll try to get back to my fanfiction soon. In the meantime, could you fill out this survey for me? It's for my AP Lang class, and I'd love it if you could do so! Thank you so much! Here's the link: surveymonkey.com/s/5QS6MTP

12/28/09: Good news: I finished "Musical Love"! That's one less story to worry about now. Three chapters in one day, though... I'm beat! Bad news: 2010 will be a busy year for me (see my blog) and that means less updates! I'm sorry! But I guarantee there will still be updates sometime during the upcoming year, so I won't be going on a real hiatus. Now, off to the next story!

10/04/09: Hey! Vote on the poll I have here on my profile! I'm curious to see what people's answers are.

10/02/09: This is to sunnysmile, who was nice enough to inquire about "Destiny" but unfortunately she does not have the private message option enabled, so I'll reply here. Yes, "Destiny" should be updated very soon! My beta's currently very busy, however, so please be patient. ;) I think you'll enjoy the next chapter, all I will say is that there's a major plot twist and it should be interesting! ...I think. I hope?

9/25/09: The latest chapter of "Destiny" has been finished! Check out my livejournal for more info.

8/28/09: "Troubled Love" is finished! Next project will, I believe, be "Musical Love" since I believe that will be quick and easy to finish.

8/14/09: I've now finished "Duck & Knight" and will continue working on "Destiny" as well as another, older story. My homepage link has been updated to my livejournal profile, so feel free to read my ramblings whenever you're in the mood. :) Since I've gotten some comments on reviews for stories still on hiatus, allow me to repeat my plan: Unless they are already marked as complete or discontinued, I WILL STILL WORK ON THEM. I'm just going to focus on one or two stories at a time, that's all. I appreciate your patience so far and it will be rewarded, I just can't say when. A lot of stories I started without any plan, which hinders my writing, and furthermore I do, in fact, have a life outside of FFdotnet...Okay, so I don't, aside from school, but you understand. It doesn't help that I'm only allowed on the computer for two hours a day during days school is not in session, and one hour when it is. So please hang in there. I'm going to finish them!

8/1/09: "You are on the favorites list of 125 members. You are on the author alert list of 82 members."

YATTA!! Thank you very, very much!!

I'd also like to take the opportunity to say I've finally finished "Just a Dream" a few months ago, so now I'm trying to focus on my other stories, particularly, at this moment, "Destiny" and "The Feelings of a Duck and Her Knight". "Destiny" is still very far from being done, I believe, but "Duck & Knight" is on its last chapter. Once I finish that, I think I might go back to working on "Troubled Love", but "Destiny" will still continue to be worked on and will not go on hiatus. Fans of my older works, please hang in there! Most of my old stories, unless I've already stated otherwise, will be finished someday.

11/7/07: "You are on the favorites list of 112 members."

"You are on the author alert list of 69 members."

That's what it says on my stats page! I LOVE you guys!! Thank you all so very much!! To think that you all enjoy my stories and poems that much... Whoa!

Hey! I'm Alyssa. I'm 18 (My birthday is on October 11). I'm a perky college freshman (woot!) and a Christian who adores anime and manga. On YouTube, I'm isearchforfullmoons. I have two websites: freewebs.com/mermaidmitsuki and freewebs.com/gal4evainchrist, but I haven't updated those in ages. If you wanna read my LiveJournal, I'm thedreamcreator. I also have an account on FictionPress as prettyinpinkgal, too. I hope you like my stories!

In case you are wondering, my penname stems from joining FF quite suddenly and randomly in seventh grade, spending only five minutes trying to figure out some clever name, failing stupendously, and just picking the first thing that came to mind. I'm horribly embarrassed by it, but it's confusing when people keep changing their pennames, and I've had this name for such a long time that it's grown on me a little bit, so I'll put up with it.

My favorite anime/manga are Air TV, Clannad, Hana Yori Dango, Fruits Basket, Azumanga Daioh, the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series, Hoshi no Koe (Voices of a Distant Star), Escaflowne, Animation Runner Kuromi, Wedding Peach, Garasu no Kamen/Glass Mask, Princess Tutu, and probably some more I haven't mentioned :)

My favorite novels are Pride and Prejudice (I LOVE Mr. Darcy. And I've gotten so obsessed with the novel I can quote several lines from it. I'm so pathetic XD), Jane Eyre (Mr. Rochester is the only character who can be so ugly but so hot at the same time XD), Howl's Moving Castle (because there's nothing like a vain Welshman in a magical land falling for a supposedly-90-year-old cleaning lady) and Sense and Sensibility.

For me, crazy is a loose term. Crazy is when you stare at a pencil and laugh when someone asks you just what you find so interesting about the eraser. Crazy is when you have an hour long sob-fest, then start singing and dancing when your favorite song plays. Crazy is when you do or say a totally random thing, like "do you ever wonder where the eraser bits go?" or start having a thumbwar with yourself (i find that i am a very tough opponent). So if you're crazy, copy this onto your profile.

Even when you cant see Him, GOD is there! If you believe in GOD put this in your profile.

If you are obsessed with fanfiction copy this into your profile.

If you are a complete spelling/grammar/punctuation freak, put this in your profile.

If you think those stupid kids should just give the rabbit the freakin' Trix, copy this into your profile.

Month one

Mommy
I am only 8 inches long
but I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
is my favorite lullaby.

Month Two

Mommy
today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
you could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.

Month Three

You know what Mommy
I'm a boy!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too
and I cry with you even though
you can't hear me.

Mommy
my hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
but I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
and stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.

Month Five

You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?

Month Six

I can hear that doctor again.
I don't like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.

Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it!
Mommy! HELP me!

Month Seven

Mommy
I am okay.
I am in Jesus's arms.
He is holding me.

Every Abortion Is Just . . .

One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

If you're against abortion, re-post this and if you almost cried post this in your profile.

This isn't a chain letter, but this story is so touching. Please take time to read. You don't have to, though. :P

A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 of the people that read this won’t repost it?

Repost this if you truly believe in God.

PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what,
and if you stand up 4 him he will stand up for you.

Silence is golden, but duct tape is silver.
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
One day, we will look back on this, laugh nervously, and change the subject.
Boys are like trees, they take 50 years to grow up.
People say, "Guns don't kill people, People kill people!" Well, I think guns help. If you stood there and yelled Bang, I don't think you'd kill too many people.
Parents spend the first part of our lives teaching us to walk and talk, and the rest of it telling us to sit down and shut up.
Its always in the last place you look...of course it is, why the heck would I keep looking after I found it?
When you get caught looking at him just remember he was looking back.
You're laughing now because you're older than me by mere months, but when you're 30 and I'm still 29, who will be laughing then?
Some people are alive only because its illegal to kill them. (and I know a few)
Who laughs last thinks the slowest.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gurgle.
If we can put one man on the moon, why can't we put them all there?
If you don't like my driving stay off the sidewalk.
There's a light at the end of every tunnel, just pray it's not a train.
Where there's a will, I want to be in it.
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
I'd like to help you out. Which way did you come in?
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
You have a right to your opinions. I just don't want to hear them.
I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
OK, so what's the speed of dark?
It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.
Fight Crime: Shoot Back!
Normal people worry me.
"Birdie, birdie, in the sky, why'd you do that in my eye? Looks like sugar, tastes like sap. OMG! IT'S BIRDIE CRAP!"
The only reason that I talk to myself is because that I'm the only one whose answers I accept.
"I did my homework! I just forgot to write it down."
The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds; the pessimist fears it is true.
We live in an age where pizza gets to your house before the police.
Eat right, exercise, die anyway.
I'm not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing.
Stupidity killed the cat. Curiosity was framed.
They say the truth will set you free. Then why is it everytime I tell the truth, I get sent to my room?
If you can keep your head while other people are losing theirs, you probably don't fully understand the situation.
Don't steal. The government hates the competition.
If at first you don't succeed, change the rules.
Tell the truth and run.
Life is like a box of chocolates - it's full of nuts.
Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction has to make sense.
Freedom is the right to be wrong, not the right to do wrong.
If you can't beat them, join them. Then take over.
Enjoy every minute of life. There's plenty of time to be dead.
When angry, count to four. When very angry, swear.
Education is important. School, however, is another matter.
A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.
Maybe this world is another planet's hell.

Girls
are like
apples on trees.
The best ones are
at the top of the tree. The
boys don’t want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree.
