Thanks! I haven't checked the spam thread yet but thanks for the warning lol. I'm excited to be here! =]]
Bahahahahaha!!! Well since the cookies are apparently all gone I guess brownies shall suffice. However I require them to have fudge. =]]
As an English degree holder I was extremely skeptical about E-Readers. I felt as if it would destroy the beauty of paper books. I mean come on, nothing beats the smell of pages from a new book. However, my hubster bought me a Kindle for Christmas and I. Love. It. You can look up stuff on the Internet, free 3G wifi from anywhere, looks like actual pages from a book, no glare from lights, download books instantly, and books are less expensive for the Kindle. It's awesome and I most deff recommend it. =]] Plus you can write notes about what you think about what you're reading and put bookmarks in more than one place as well as highlight stuff. It's awesome.
Yes ma'am I am a Christian! Nice to meet another child of God! =]]. And I actually might post an excerpt from my book today. I'm gonna have to look through the chapters and see which one would be best to post. =]]. I really need to get on the ball though, haven't written in a few days, I've been lazy lol.
Why thank you! I am pretty cool, not gonna lie. ;0). Lol. Everyone here seems pretty nice and cool as well! I'm excited! =]] and it is very cool to meet other writers! I'm excited! =]]
Well, this is something I wrote this afternoon after the hubster got called in to work. First peice of fan fiction ever! Don't be too harsh lol. Enjoy! Sora's Cheer Up Committee! “Stupid dreams.†Sora muttered to himself. He was sitting against a palm tree on the island, looking out into the ocean and trying to make sense of the dreams he had been having lately. They were very similar to the dreams he had when his whole journey first started. Except now he knew what the terrifying monsters were. Heartless. For the past two weeks he had been having bad dreams. Each dream was similar, yet slightly different. The first dream he had there had been a hundred heartless surrounding him and all he had was the wooden sword he used to play with as a kid. No matter how many times he tried to summon The Keyblade, the wooden sword would just keep appearing. The next night there were literally thousands of heartless and even though he had The Keyblade this time, it did no damage to the heartless. Last night he was back in The World That Never Was and the heartless and nobodies worked together and attacked him. Even though the dreams were slightly different they always ended the same. Always. While he struggled uselessly against the heartless, Kairi would be dragged away into some dark portal. Screaming his name and begging for Sora to help her. Sora would then wake up, drenched with sweat, and completely tangled in his blankets. One morning he fell off the bed and woke up in pain when his back slammed into the hard wood floor. Sora just couldn’t shake the feeling that someone bad was going to happen. He wasn’t his normal cheery self. His smile didn’t quite reach his eyes lately. Kairi and Riku were worried, Sora could tell. They each tried to get him to tell them what was wrong but Sora would just grin goofily and say ‘nothing.’ And would then quickly change the subject or challenge Riku to a sparring match, knowing Riku wouldn’t be able to say no to a challenge. Unfortunately Kairi wasn’t as easily distracted. She was constantly pestering him about his sudden depression. The only reason why she wasn’t with him now and pestering him was because Sora caught her by surprise. A half hour earlier Kairi had asked him, yet again, what was wrong. Sora replied with his usual grin and said ‘nothing,’ again and this time Kairi walked in front of him and refused to move; “Sora, I can tell something’s wrong. And I’m not moving until you tell me.†Kairi said looking up at him. While Sora wasn’t exactly the tallest guy around, he was still taller than Kairi. Sora looked down at her. “Silly Kairi. I told you, nothing. I’m just peachy.†He replied going to step around her. Kairi blocked his path. He tried to go the other direction and again Kairi stepped in front of him. Sora sighed loudly and Kairi smirked. “Well?†She asked, arching an eyebrow. Sora folded his arms across his chest and pondered the situation for a moment. Then he leaned down towards Kairi’s ear. “I’m fine. You worry too much.†He whispered in her ear. He felt her shiver and suppress a giggle. Then he brushed his lips against hers. He heard Kairi sigh softly as she leaned in towards him. He slowly lifted his head and grinned at Kairi. She smiled softly back temporarily distracted, Sora took his opportunity to leave. He waved and then ran off towards the island. He heard Kairi sigh in frustration but she didn’t chase after him. Sora sighed at the memory. He loved Kairi, with all of his heart, but he didn’t want to worry her. Or Riku for that matter. They both worried too much when it came to him and they were just dreams right? Nothing to worry about. But Sora couldn’t quite convince himself of that. He felt bad for worrying his girlfriend and best friend but there were some things that even got the happy-go-lucky-total dork-goofball-Sora down. Sora leaned further back against the tree and closed his eyes. He could still hear Kairi screaming for him. That was the worst part, he was always helpless to help her. And Sora did not like being helpless. He could feel his heart clenching and could tell that Roxas was not happy with depressed Sora. “Sorry Roxas.†Sora muttered out loud. His heart slowly unclenched and knew that Roxas was trying to reassure him. “I’m trying to be optimistic. Really I am. It’s just hard.†Sora said to Roxas quietly. His eyes still closed Sora didn’t see two people sneaking up on him. All of a sudden Sora was tackled from the side. He felt himself rolling on the sandy floor and then he was slammed onto his back. Sora opened his eyes wide to see that Riku had him pinned to the ground and Kairi was smiling down at him from his left side. “W-What are you guys doing?†Sora asked, his cerulean eyes wide. “Nothing.†Riku said in a perfect imitation of Sora’s voice. Sora’s eyes narrowed. “Is that supposed to be me? Man you don’t sound like me at all.†Sora replied. “You’re right. I didn’t sound girly enough.†Riku smirked. Kairi giggled. Sora shot Riku a death glare. “Can I ask why you are pinning me to the ground and getting sand down my pants?†Sora asked. Sora’s arms were at his side and he started to lift them in order to push Riku off of him. Riku swatted them away easily each time Sora tried. “We came here to make you tell what’s wrong.†Kairi said, a stern look appearing on her pretty features. “I told you guy’s n-“ Sora started to say before Riku interrupted him. “If you say nothing Sora I swear I will kill you.†Riku replied. Sora grinned. “Fine. I’ll start over then. I told you guys…nada!†Sora replied. Riku groaned and Kairi giggled a little. “We mean it Sora. We know something’s wrong, now out with it. And no challenge or kiss is going to distract us!†Kairi said firmly. Riku stiffened. “Kiss?†Riku asked. Sora blushed slightly and so did Kairi. Riku knew they were a couple now but they kept the PDA at a minimum. Especially around Riku, otherwise Riku would’ve teased the couple mercilessly. “Don’t worry Riku, I won’t kiss you without permission first.†Sora replied with a girlish grin, batting his eyelashes at Riku. Riku snorted. “Don’t flatter yourself Sora. Now are you going to tell us what’s wrong or are we gonna have to resort to extreme measures?†Riku asked. Sora furrowed his brow in confusion, unsure of what Riku was insinuating. “We care about you Sora. Come on, just tell us.†Kairi urged, kneeling down next to the pinned Sora. “I told you guys. I’m fine. Nothing’s bothering me.†He lied and looked away from Kairi’s blue-violet eyes. He had a harder time lying to her when he was looking straight at her. “Since you insist on being uncooperative, drastic measures must be taken.†Riku said as he grabbed both of Sora’s wrists and pinned them above his head. Sora struggled slightly then looked at Riku and Kairi, still confused as to what they were planning. Riku was smirking and Kairi was giggling, both of them still amused at how clueless Sora was at times. And then it hit him. “No! Please for the love of all the worlds, no!†Sora begged and started squirming. Riku was still a lot stronger than Sora, as well as heavier so the poor teen had no chance of escaping. “Struggling is futile Sora. Besides you brought this upon yourself.†Riku laughed. Riku’s right hand was holding Sora’s wrists and he brought his left hand down to Sora’s side. “Are you sure you don’t want to tell us?†Kairi asked, laughter in her voice. Sora looked at her, eyes cerulean eyes begging for Kairi to help him. Kairi shook her head and covered her mouth with her hand in order to suppress her giggles. “No. Th-There’s nothing to tell.†Sora replied, struggling against Riku’s iron tight hold. “I told you not to say the word ‘nothing.’†Riku replied with a smirk and then poked Sora lightly in the side. Sora ‘eeped.’ “Please Riku, don’t!†Sora begged. Riku smiled evilly and then began tickling the poor helpless teen’s sides. Sora tried to move away from Riku’s wiggling fingers but Riku just tightened his legs and forced Sora to stay still. Sora had his mouth clamped shut, trying desperately to keep the laughter that was wanting to escape from spilling out of his mouth. But then Riku moved up to his ribs, which was Sora’s most ticklish spot. Sora started laughing loudly. Kairi giggled as well. “K-Kairi! H-help me! P-plehehehease!†Sora begged through his laughter. Kairi laughed and shook her head no. Sora needed this, she thought. It had been so long since she had heard him truly laugh. His surprisingly deep chuckles were music to her ears. “I don’t think so Sora. In fact, I think Riku needs help!†Kairi replied grinning widely. “N-no! Don’t!†Sora said laughing. His lungs were on fire because of lack of oxygen from laughing too much. Riku was merciless as he danced his fingers along Sora’s ribs. “I’m sorry Sora I can’t understand you. You’re stuttering too much.†Riku said as Kairi giggled and then started tickling the other side of Sora’s ribs. Sora started laughing even harder, squirming as much as he could to get away from his tormentors. “Y-y-you…hahahaha…s-suck!†Sora told Riku. Riku let out a gasp of mock offense. “Did you just insult me Sora?†He asked smiling. “Yes!†Sora said through his laughter. Even though he was being tortured to death, Sora was slightly enjoying himself. He hadn’t laughed this hard in quite some time and it felt good. The tickling didn’t, but the laughing did. His laughter became louder as Kairi started tickling right under his arms and Riku almost lost his grip when Sora tried to bring his arms down. “Just say you give up Sora and tell us what’s wrong and this’ll all end.†Kairi said. Sora could feel tears of mirth falling from his eyes and he shook his head violently from left to right in a non-verbal ‘no.’ “Suit yourself.†Riku replied and tickled under Sora’s other arm. Sora’s sides were aching from laughing so much and he could barely breathe. But once Riku started on his other arm Sora lost it. Sora yelled loudly with laughter. “O-OKAY! I…I GIVE! I GIVE!†Sora yelled. But to his dismay the continued their relentless assault on his body. Kairi laughed at Sora’s pleas for mercy. She truly did enjoy his laugh but she could tell he couldn’t take much more so after another minute or so she slowed her fingers to a stop. Riku followed shortly and let go of Sora’s wrists, but kept him pinned to the ground. Sora quickly wrapped his arms protectively around himself and was still laughing. Sora could still feel the tingling on his ribs and underarms from Riku’s and Kairi’s tickling. Sora’s breathing was still a bit fast but was slowly returning to normal and his laughs were now a few chuckles. Riku looked into Sora’s red face and smirked. “Alright, time to spill. And if you don’t we start round two.†Riku warned. Sora scowled and struggled to get free, but Riku refused to move. Sora sighed loudly. “Fine! But before I do could you please get off?†Sora asked. Riku hesitated. “Come on Riku, get off of him. I’m sure we’ve scared him enough that he won’t run.†Kairi said with a slight smirk. Sora shot her a look. “I do hope you know that you are more ticklish than me and that I shall be repaying you in kind.†Sora threatened. Kairi giggled nervously and took a step back. Riku got up and helped Sora up to his feet. Sora scowled at the both of them and retreated a few steps, crossing his arms protectively around himself once more. Riku and Kairi both threw their heads back and laughed. “Alright, enough laughing at my expense!†Sora exclaimed. He looked at the pair of them and sighed, lowering his head looking at the ground. He felt a small, warm, and soft hand gra his. He looked up and saw Kairi. Riku came up to his other side and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Whatever it is, you’re not alone Sora. The three of us, we can handle anything that comes our way. Our hearts are all connected.†Kairi said softly and smiled. Sora smiled, a genuine Sora smile, and squeezed her hand. He looked at Riku and the normal smirk Riku had was replaced with a soft smile as he looked at his best friend. Sora’s heart began to feel lighter. Roxas was agreeing. Sora nodded. They were right. Whatever happened, everything would be okay. Because their hearts were connected. And that’s what made them strong.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. My name is Kerianna! I'm 22 years old and I'm a recent college grad. I have my degree in English and a minor in Communication. I've never been on a forum before so this is all new to me. So I apologize if I'm a bit clumsy with this whole thing at first. =]] Ummm let's see what else? Well, I'm married and have been for three years. The hubster and I are both big gamers, he's more into Starcraft and one person shooters while I'm a RGP kinda gal! All the KH games are my favs and then my next fav would have to be FF8. I'm a hopeless romantic so the story of Squall and Riona is right up my alley! =]] I'm currently writing a book and am about half way done. I'm hoping it'll do well and get published. I've never done fanfiction before but I'm kind of looking forward to it and plan on writing a few stories. I'm also a Christian and am really involved with my church. I like to act, sing, and dance, and of course write. I look forward to getting to know all of you better! =]]
