The Shade

We met at dusk one nameless day, defined by endless chatter far into the night hiding from dawn together, fearful of all sorts of light. Conniving and fair Naive yet jaded We made quite a pair with energy never-fading Time passes, tears line a long road Those we recall the taste of leave etchings in the mold... Tendrils thin but unbroken tugged us together time and time again until we were meant to mend But gone were the pair, hiding under blankets dreaming Only cold adults remain, made from dying visions, souls slowly bleeding. The facade matters, as did the play but the nights are dark and lonely now too cruel for one not mysteri

Literature

Is Anyone Out There?

There's always a time to write. A thing that you feel. A point to the pen. Always. No matter how small, trivial, personal, dirty or inane. But...that is...the only "always" in life. This writing, this statement...is dedicated to how that "always" is a simple and lonely thing indeed. When I first started writing it was when I was in college, in a computer lab between classes. Computers have come into their heydey but aren't dispersed in so close proximity that everyone has one. So many of us come to the computer lab for internet access and we all need it for printing power. I remember those days, coming to the lab and doing homework

From within the darkness...

It had been years since he had set pen to paper. Years since he had truly tried to express himself. At this point the pen felt more like the chef's knife; a thing he once knew and loved but...never made anything of. It felt wrong. The notebook was college-ruled, five subjects and the cover was blue, like his obviously stolen fountain pen. He could remember a preference for wide-ruled notebooks. The pages filled easier. They created a larger sense of progress. But he could also remember specifically picking this notebook, there was a reason for that. Whether he believed it appropriate or not was immaterial now. This was what he had and it wa

Don't Let Me Rise Again.

If I should fall in battle be sure to put me down don't wait for my last breath just till I hit the ground. I don't need my weapon anymore, Be sure to take it with you. I'm past help so make haste or soon you will be, too. Say goodbye to me now hope you don't see me later when you come back I may not be here... Because it's the end times via zombie apocalypse so as much as you loved me beware my last kiss... As the lust in my eyes is not a good surprise; my arms are not out to hug since now I'm doomed to roam as undead show me some real love; don't let me rise again.

I'm waving, don't you see?

Hey, don't look at me that way tears don't become you even being sad as you may be. There's no reason to cry my pain has ended there are no more battles for me to fight. Know this and remember even though I'm gone for now part of me will always be right here. I had a lot of fun and shed my share of tears and I saw this coming though I know that hurts to hear. We can only dodge the end so long and I know it hurts to see family leave but what happened to me isn't wrong. So, though it's hard to bear Let me wave goodbye and I'll see you later.

Hope: The Spark of Existence by Ex1, literature

Hope: The Spark of Existence

I was talking with someone last night whose opinion I value for the simplicity that he states them. A matter-of-fact approach to everything is priceless but he said to me something I found rather strange out of someone who spends most of his time smiling genuinely (if a bit wickedly)to actually believe and live by. Hope is for the folks who are fooling themselves. He went on to say that hope only exists for the folks who know something bad is going to happen but need something to comfort them then likened it to people who know a ship is sinking but want to believe otherwise. I countered that hope worked better for me and he told me he wou

Life: The Speed Trap

An object at rest tends to stay at rest. Issac Newton It is pertinent to the abstract as well as being a basic law of physics. The speed at which an object can move or has moved does not dictate how long or how often said object will move. This is applicable to anything. An impressive track record notes achievements of a track star and does not denote that a track star may have quit the game for reasons related to not being able to or wanting to run anymore. After an off season with a strained tendon he may just quit. And thus at rest he tends to stay at rest. It's more commo

Depression: Behind Blah Days by Ex1, literature

Depression: Behind Blah Days

It is an abstract thing, a status upon the emotional state of a living creature. The effects are far-reaching, health consequences of all kinds, social changes that are uncontrollable, a loss of the will to go on. There is a science behind it as there is all things but unlike love it is easier to understand. Depression is a lack of things to keep your morale up. A very popular cause for it is not having a cause or purpose at all. If you can't understand why your life is the way it is you likely will feel a sense of not belonging and powerlessness that you can't seem to stave off for long. Those feelings if left to their own too long dam

Love: Behind the Scenes

In all the things I've seen on television and movies, read in books and informational publications both on paper and online, as well as experienced for myself paints "love" as something volatile, unpredictable and highly addictive. Once you're in it you usually can't see what it does to you and when you're not in the "love loop" it's clear when others are. There are reasons for this. The effects are symptomatic of other habits. The nature of it being unstable as it is yet desirable begs the simile of it being like a drug and also more explanation. This second need we all too often discoun

More Words to Remember

Some more things I have learned in my travails on this mortal coil that I can share with you... 10. Stand by what you believe in. 9. With the right tool you can solve ANY problem without exception. 8. The world isn't here for you to make sense of it. 7. Worry never solves anything but can often be the first step towards a solution. 6. Insanity is doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result. 5. Two wrongs don't make a right, they make a travesty. 4. Just because you walk the same way doesn't make you friends. 3. Nothing is ever done in vain as long as someone is affected somehow. 2.

Netiquette By: Ex On forums, chat rooms and message boards there are basic rules of courtesy that should be followed. There are more complex rules as well and I'll try to cover them all. Basic rule number one is keep you post on topic. Too many times do people go off on a tangent in a thread and never address the original subject. It is bad for other reasons as well. Basic rule number two is use as much good grammar as possible when you post. Unless you are on a real time connection like Y! Instant Messenger when you post on a message board or forum you have tim

Words to Remember

Sometimes we could all use some advice. For those who look for inspirational practical words of wisdom here are some of my favorites. 10. Know what you can and cannot do. 9. Keep an open mind. 8. People will believe what they want. Try not to be too offended. 7. Fright is logic and your body coming to a mutual conclusion. Pay attention. 6. Don't be afraid to speak your mind. 5. Honesty is the best policy. Keep your lies few, far between, and well hidden. 4. When you do something do it well and all the way. Don't half step. 3.

A Victimless Crime

A Victimless Crime By: Ex Now that we know what GTS is, what is so bad about it? A fantasy that all people involved can enjoy right? Wrong. The main problem is the high volume of adult content in these stories. Adult content isn't bad but can and usually will become problematic when dealing with minors. No matter what precautions you take minors will be finding their way into things they shouldn't. (No offense to minors, I was one once) Some sites feature the adult content warning that attempts to dissolve liability on their part and deter minors. N

Chapter 7: Errors In Judgment The next morning the sun is streaming into the royal quarters. It is quite sunny and light is inundating the room through the curtains. Despite that the majestic occupant is still asleep as she spent the greater part of the night down in the castle library doing some searching through the old volumes. Scouring the ancient Hylian tomes and grimoires had been grueling and boring but did yield a couple candidates for spells to reverse Malon’s condition. Zelda actually was eager to try them but one can hardly tell that now since she’s still asleep. However the royal canopy bed provides little cover fro

Chapter 6: The Perfect Plan On the farm the next morning the itinerary for the day is being set. With the chores done all that’s needed is a plan of action before they get going. The resident hero and dayplanner is running through his checklist now. Preparation is the best weapon to battle anything with as far as he’s concerned and taking Malon anywhere is worth getting done right since way too much can go wrong. A person can’t plan for everything but they can surely try. “You wanted to visit Darunia, right?” Link asks, double-checking. “Mmmhm.” Malon replies. “Is there a problem with that?

If I’m the one goin’ to be doin’ all the work round here may as well fire that Link guy if you ask me…” Talon stops a moment in his task of feeding the animals. “Wait a second, do we pay him?

Chapter 4: Tumbling In the Right Direction The next morning Link is up early. Despite a somewhat reprieve from work yesterday he went to bed early. Something about being showered in hot tea and irritated really takes it out of you. He’s awake before the rooster today and halfway through milking the cows when he crows. “Heh beat you this time.” The hero thinks with a chuckle as he starts pouring the buckets into large canisters for storage. “So shut up.” The old cock does exactly that. Apparently with Link awake his purpose in life is done with and he slinks back into the chicken coop. But that isn’t to

Chapter 1: Business as Usual Author’s Note: I suggest reading Red Haired Girl first or this is not going to make a bit of sense. It’s an ordinary day in Hyrule. The sun rises and dawn is still in the early stages when the rooster crows. This is of no concern to a certain hylian who sees the merits in sleeping late but still has a direct bearing on his beauty rest. He can’t sleep through the bird’s noise, which was the design behind it, and groggily wakes up. “Morning already?” Link mumbles, rolling over in bed. “Ugh.” He buries his face in his pillow. “Uh uh.” “Come on, get u

New Leaf? Different Tree? Who is it again?

0 min read

It has been a literal age since I wrote anything. I may tackle fan-fiction again just to get the juices flowing. I want to unlock my mental potential and distract myself from the simple dopamine pursuits that are easy to get dragged into. Writing was my escape and now, writing can be so much more...or at least it can be a hobby I put energy into because I want to, not because a world of fantasy is better than reality. Exercising. Putting in work. I have things to do, and I will do them and earn the rewards a patient person who perseveres reaps.

Just wanted to say hello.

Also, DeviantArt changed its policies so that a lot of giantess related material is rated mature, so parts of that GTS essay can't be read unless you have an account.

Which is sad because your essay is pretty good.

Oh man I somehow accidentally stumbled upon you again.

Hi.

I remember stumbling on your fan-fiction like 7+ years ago. You wouldn't know me, so I wouldn't bother trying to remember me. Just wanted to leave a comment saying hello and that I really enjoyed your work.

Didn't realize it had been that long since I read all that stuff. How have you been since?

Nov 8, 2014

Well I am always happy to hear from a fan. Authors don't get much love around here and I haven't been big into fan fiction for at least 5 years so it's a nice jog down memory lane.

Since then, I've grown up and not had console access like I want with the level of dull adult things I have to do. Overall, I've been well though. Trying to find my muse and get back around here on a regular basis. And....If I somehow can get a console and find a current Gen game I like, I may get back into fan fiction. All depends on free time and how it comes together.

How did you stumble across me again? I'm curious.

It's actually a pretty lengthy story, so if you don't mind I'll just give you the quick cliff notes. It started with someone posting a few pastebins of some old stories. After reading through them I ended up searching around for some more stuff and I happened across a site that I had forgotten existed, and that I am still amazed is still around. VGGTS. It still has a somewhat sizable collection of some older stories which included a few stories from you.

I started reading one of them and it seemed awfully familiar and then I saw the name credited as "Ex" which jogged my memory. I had originally found your work here on DA so I set out on a journey to track this page down. Glad to see you're still alive and kicking.

I haven't been there in ages. Has he taken down the source page for authors? I used to have a link straight to here.

It may be a lengthy story but I wouldn't mind hearing it. It reminds me of when I went to track down a few authors myself. Actually caught one a few years ago. I'm flattered, as an author, that you wanted to find my page again.
