Chapter 1:
Little Girl Lost
“People don’t just wake up one day & say, ‘I’m going to be a serial rapist & a killer.’ Something leads up to it.” — Dr. Kathryn Seifert
It is a common misconception, greatly enforced by TV & the movies, that people who are evil have been their way their whole lives. Saturday morning cartoons never show the grim & sinister pasts of the villains, & when the bad guys in comic books appear, their background stories are left to our imaginations. But life is not a movie.
Scoundrels are not born overnight, but are made through a series of tragic events that shaped them into who th

OUTTAKE #1
(Scene: First day of shooting, at the Flavershams’ house. Olivia is about to get Hiram’s present.)
DIRECTOR: OK, guys, we’re shooting the first scene. And I want it to be done properly, understood?
OLIVIA: (nods her head) Gotcha, Mr. Director!
DIRECTOR: (smiles pleasantly) All right, then...let’s make some cine-magic!
(Clapboard strikes for Take 1. The dancing doll starts to perform its spirited ballet in front of Olivia’s amazed eyes.)
OLIVIA: Ohh, Daddy...it’s a wonderful present, but can we make one for Cousin Timmy, too? I know how much he loves dolls...
Ode To Alex DeLargeOh, Alex, darling, don't you seeOde To Alex DeLarge6 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Just how much you mean to me?
How I wish that you were real
So that your sweet face, I could feel
People just don't understand
How anyone can love a man
Whose heart is black as ebony
And is a fearsome enemy
But, my sweet love, they cannot see
How, in my mind, I've rescued thee
From a life of sin & iniquity
That otherwise you could never flee
I was the one who purged your soul
And the same girl who made you whole
Don't let my labor be in vain
Alex, darling, with me remain!
It pains my heart when I realize
I will never see your eyes
So startlingly deep & crystal-blue
Oh, Alex, why can't I love

A feeling of celebration could be felt from all around in the twilight air on January 1st. The year of 1990 was welcomed by people across the globe with dazzling fireworks, delightful parades, merry music, & colorful lights. Clocks chimed the midnight hour everywhere, & as “Old Granddaddy” rang its broken bell to announce the time, Alex, Angela, Philip, & Sheila cheered & tossed confetti into the air. “Welcome to the New Year!” Philip shouted festively, taking out a rainbow-colored noisemaker & tooting on it.
Sheila sighed

Angela
An hour had passed, but thankfully, the girl had managed to make it through her ordeal as she slumbered peacefully on the living room couch, nestled in thick blankets. Alex, his parents, & his friends gathered around her, anxious to see when she would awaken from her state of unconsciousness; Sheila, however, didn’t want to keep everyone idle for what would probably be a long time. “Why don’t you boys help me make some hot soup,” she suggested as she led Alex & his friends into the kitchen, “while we wait for our guest to come around?”
After another half-hour, when Alex, Sheila, & the boys

THE BASICS
1. What was the situation that created this character?
In the spring of 2006, shortly after I had first gotten into writing fanfiction for A Clockwork Orange, I began jotting down ideas for different stories. As it turned out, one of these drabbles, A Spark Of Good, was the first to be developed & worked upon. The original draft of the fanfic was written as a romance novella in which Alex DeLarge fell in lov
Untitled AAAR Yuri FicAnastasia “Ana” DeLarge (though she & her partner were not married, she took on the surname of her lover) woke up one beautiful, bright morning—the kind of morning where the sun streamed through her window & bathed everything in its rich golden glow. Ana always loved to see the sun rise whenever she could, but unfortunately, she woke up about an hour later than usual, which put a little damper in her plans. Not to worry, though, Ana thought with a chipper smile. My beloved will be here soon to give me breakfast in bed.

Suffering In SilenceI speak no more of those who insult meSuffering In Silence5 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Or offer me painful flames,
And now I am to suffer in silence
Whenever they play their twisted games
I am forced to passively bear the blow
Of their "comments" that attack my poor soul
And my mind by telling me that my dreams
Of making my sequels (& perhaps follow-up TV show) are in vain
But I don't want to give into their cruel demands
And abandon my goals! I musn't! I can't!
Why must I be forced to give up on my dreams,
Just because other people are telling me they won't come true?
...Should I believe them now? Should I take their advice
And abandon my GMD 2 & other projects altogether?

The seemingly-swift segue of seasons from amber autumn to white winter had passed without much notice in my home. I remember very little from those three months—near the ending mark of last October’s first fortnight to the cold evening of January 11th, 1995—except for the incessant pounding sound of my typewriter keys, the prolonged glances my eyes took at all finished papers while checking for errors, the feelings of lethargy & drowsiness I struggled to overcome after working until the small hours of the morning...my sweet Catherine’s presence & how I greatly enjoyed her company duri

But while I cannot say for 100% absolute certain that GMD 2 or TBSFC will get made, I don't wanna rule out the possibility of them getting made, either, so, basically...let me just say that right now, this whole thing is a great big work-in-progress that's going underway as we speak, even though I hope that I might be able to join the ranks of Disney & successfully pitch the GMD 2 &/or T

Major Kong counted to infinity...twice.
If you can see Major Kong, he can see you. If you can't see Major Kong, you may be only seconds away from a hide-kicking.
Major Kong sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks & unparalleled plane-flying & bomb-riding abilities. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Major Kong threw a nuclear bomb in the devil's face, & took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad, & admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play horseshoes every second Wednesday of the month.
