Comparative Advantage

The SWWS plagiarism saga is over. Thank you to everyone who supported me!

Also, I've posted the second chapter of MAD. I've been trying to work on my writing more often during the summer, so hopefully I'll have something to show for it before my senior year of college starts and I have to focus more on my thesis.

A new story page for MAD is in the works, but for now don't forget to check out the pictures for the story in the photo gallery. = )

CFCT is finally done! I posted the final chapter earlier today. I've also posted the prologue of my new story, Mutually Assured Destruction. MAD will be the second installment of my Cornell 2012 series, and I'm really excited about it.

On another note, SKoW nominations have started!

Wow, it's been forever since I updated this site, and boy do I feel guilty about it! I have, however, updated Confessions of a Former Chew Toy a few times, which I believe to be slightly more important (and you all probably agree with me on that). I just sort of wanted to check in, let you all know that I am, in fact, still alive, and relay this important message:

My newest story will be coming up soon!

Right now I'm working on the final chapter of CFCT, but I've also started writing the prologue and first chapter of my next novel, Mutually Assured Destruction. It will be the second book in what I am calling my Cornell 2012 Series. It can stand apart from CFCT (i.e. it's not a sequel), but there are some things that tie in with regards to minor characters and (obviously) setting. I'll give more information about the plot of the story when it isn't 1:38 AM on a weeknight.

Here's what I'm thinking for the series: CFCT is the freshman year story, MAD will be the sophomore year story, and then I'll (hopefully) have two more for junior and senior years. All four will focus on members of Cornell's class of 2012 (aka my class).

Anyway, that's all I have to say for now.

Hey guys! Confessions of a Former Chew Toy won Quirkiest Chapter Title in the SKoW Awards! Yeah, I know this is kind of a belated announcement, but I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who voted!

Also, I'm adding a page to this site, pretty much just for shits and giggles, that is dedicated to the interesting and often hilarious things my professors here at Cornell say. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed hearing them in lectures.

SKoW voting is about to start! And guess what? Confessions of a Former Chew Toy has been nominated for Quirkiest Chapter Title (Ch. 4, "Noisy Fornication is a Neighborly No-No")! So please, so check out the SKoW website and, if you are so inclined, vote for me!

Also, I only just figured this out, but Six Weeks With Satan won the award for Best First Kiss in Round 1 of the TiRO Awards! Wow, I'm an idiot for not realizing that sooner... But thank you so much to everyone who voted!

Some of my friends on Fictionpress (e.g. angels and effects and SamanthaNicole) have recently taken down their work because of the wave of plagiarism that has been going around. First of all, I want to say that I completely support their decisions. Second of all, and I say this with emphasis, plagiarism is NOT okay. Both at my high school and here at Cornell, plagiarism is taken as an incredibly serious offense. Not to mention that it's illegal. If you're doing it, you will get caught - it's a very obvious crime, especially when the story in question is widely read.

That being said, if anyone ever sees a plagiarized version of one of my stories, please let me know immediately. And to any plagiarizers reading this, if you steal my work, I will hunt you down and take legal action. To everyone else, much love!

Sorry for the ominous message. I posted the same one on my Fictionpress profile page, but thought I'd emphasize the importance by posting it here as well.

Also, I just changed this part of my website into blog-format. Just FYI.

As of today, I am officially done with my freshman year of college! And you all know what that means: more time to write! My poor dear roommate, DancingChaChaFruit/Sarah, still has some exams left to go, though.

Like the new layout? I was getting bored of the old one, so I decided to make a change. I also edited some stuff (playlists and pages for each story), so check it out!

My challenge response, She Looks to Me, was awarded Judge's Pick for Best Challenge Response in Round 7 of the SKoW Awards! Thank you so much for all the support you've shown me!

Hey all! I just finished my finals yesterday, thank God, and I have great news! Six Weeks With Satan was nominated for "Best First Kiss" in the Time is Running Out awards! For those of you who don't know, TiRO is the sister site of SKoW. Here's the website:

If you are so inclined, please go vote!

I'm back! I'm so sorry it's taken me solong to put chapter eight up, but college kind of ate my life. Just to let you all know, I'm making a "links" page for websites that somehow relate to my stuff or have information I think people might want to see. I'm planning on taking pictures of stuff around the Cornell campus for my settings album sometime soon as well, so those should be up within the next couple of weeks.
