Marco Polo

I love pheonixes. I'm not sure why, probably cause I've been a final-fantasy nerd for as long as I can remember. ( Irrelevant ) But I do think they are beautiful, atleast in my mind. as for the human/like. I'm a huge fan of werewolves. Mainly because I think the guy I like is close to one, mmmm furry tall and strong/warm and cuddly looking. I don't even register the 'I'm a wolf' part. Lol. I fear I've said too much...

You're Emo Ninja You're a giant puddle of depression. Cheer up emo ninja, at least you're stylish. Special Ability- Drowning your opponent in tears and depressing poetry no one wants to hear. Weak Point- You're usually in a dark corner during battle, you're not much of a team player I suppose... I did not think I was that depressing. Lol, what a fun quiz. 10 thumbs up

Ok, so I'm just waiting for Neph to finish with Chapter 6, things are starting to develop so thanks for the comments and keep reading, hints of romance are on their way, spread the good word. And the length is increasing so you should be getting more for your time. Conner, you're such a loyal reader thanks for taking the time to review it. : ) and I'm looking forward to Chase's comments if he gets around to it. Anyway, thanks and I'll let you know once the Sixth is up. Love! -Marco

I have to say I really enjoyed Chapter 6. I love the portrayal of his immature parents. What a gleeful notion. I've never thought of children maturing before the adult. And I very much love the inner dialogue. 'First base for nervous gay virgins' Ah beautiful. And the little tangents Evan goes off on, I don't even mind that it deviates from the plot for a split second, it's very enjoyable Keep it up.

Hey just a thought in passing through. I've found music has been an excellent stimulus so far in some of my writing. Especially Otherworld, trying to fit that mood of suspenese and disturbing with my writing was a task and a half so I browsed youtube and came across Roison Murphy's RamaLama Bang Bang. And it's managing to spur me along. It's not the only time. When I was writing 'The Debutante' I wrote that entire short in the space of thirty minutes after a complete succession of songs hit me on my iPod. So I was thinking we could talk about how music has either spurned you on, or created the right mood in you. It doesnt have to be music either. It's sort of like a 'what nourishes that creativity within you' I think mine is music. : )

Thanks everyone, glad some people have been enjoying it. Anyway, I'll make a more detailed thank you, when I'm not swamped with work. But here's Chapter 5 So I hope you all like it.

Chapter 3 Is up

Yeah, she was a bit of a village bicycle in the day. : ) Thanks for the comments Conner and Neph you sly cat you. When did you get here.

Thanks C-man. : ). I've had some help from Neph and she's probably the reason I'm actually posting, without her I wouldnt have the self-confidence. Anyway, Chapter 2 is up enjoy Chapter 2

Hey everyone, I finally posted a story on eFic. So Otherworld Whatcha think?

Was thinking the exact same thing....

Hm, - Flirted with adorable book shop assistant. - Had a baked bean toasted sandwhich. - Marinated feta. - Installed the electric blanket. - FINALLY recieved enough motivation to continue writing. - Made plans to go back to bookstore and see if I can get the courage to talk to him. - Bought a book. Yes, was a busy day.

I'm not sure what's making me like this story. That's not meant in a offensive way. There's so many things I like that I find it difficult to pin-point it. I can feel the anger and the trapped feelings of Evan quite clearly. And the first thing I thought of when Adrian was described was one of my friends, it was uncanny and I think that makes it easier for myself to relate to. So far, I'm loving it so much that I shall be stalking your updates. p.s: Vanessa... golden character. I love her blatant statements. She's a force and I can't wait to read more of her.

AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EPIC BRAIN OVERLOAD! Although before I start, may I point out similarities between this awkward moment at the end of Chapter 17. *I don't want to spoil anything* To Graham's similar moment in his story "The Price of Friendship." I only notice this now like as I'm typing. Anyway loved it, just as much and you are quite the master of subtle teen humour that makes me giggle endlessly, Flipper reference? Priceless. In summation Marco + New IDT Update + Ultimate Cliffhanger = Irrate and Partially Satisfied yet Exceedingly Giddy Marco. Much Love J -Marco

Love is like seeing the update for your favourite story on eFiction. :) This is the most beautiful chapter so far, although you can tell things are sort of winding up which I HATE! But seriously the cemetary, I barely breathed whilst reading. I loved everything. From watching Ryan and Shane maneouver around Jake in a THICK and TENSE situation, and seeing Ryan notice things that Jake barely registers, (which as I have stated before showcases your ability to make Jakes thought processes such a strong and over-powering element that you literally feel pulled under.) I have to admit I must be slower than Jake though, I didnt even click when the confrontation happened between Col and Jake. *SIGH* Ok thinking over load, so I'll just say this. I can't wait... And anyway, being a momma

NEW POETRY. My favourite so far. So check it out and review, review, review! P.S Jovian thanks for the excellent dissection. I was enjoying your comments. So heres to hoping to further reviews.

Hey guys, Just to clear this up. What I meant in my original post, was not that I had deleted anything at all. I've just put them into a seperate folder. I would never intentionally delete anything I've done. As Rush has said, It's great to look back and compare and see how far I've come. I enjoy it most of the time. Who knows, maybe sometime in the future you'll see that story I had quickly doomed from the beginning and I will have applied a fresh coat of paint. Someday

Hey Guys. An odd rather strange ramble here that anyone can feel free to add to with their own little anecdotes. i was sitting on my bed, drinking nice hot chocolate thinking to myself. 'Ah Marco, how long it has been since you sifted through your masses of unfinished plots and simple fiction.' I agreed with myself and said aloud. ' Why Marco's Mind, I do beleive you are correct.' Thus I went searching through my archives and found many a foul plot line. I mean what was I thinking? The typical gay boy is in love with the jock and the jock is secretly gay? It wasnt believable to me now, so how was I going to sell it to readers. I get the fact that we all started somewhere. But somehow I think that that particular trip through memory lane was completely unneccessary and as such I have locked the doomed plots in a folder in the deep recesses of my computer. That is all my comrades. Ugh, Russian Revolution is making my head spin.* _Marco-Goldfish Lover. *completely unrelated.*

I'd have to say I share qualities with Two Characters. Jake from J_Ross' In Due Time...mainly because my thought processes and freaking out tendencies sit nice and snug with Jake's mind set. Plus, he gets Shane... I can totally deal with that. Second. Nate from Libby Drew's Between Lives. Mainly because I can be totally uncertain but determined to figure things out for my benefit and for those close to me, And I just love him. That's all. nice topic

Ah Miss Drew. What I would do without you. Probably scour the web for stories that would never quite live up to your style. This story made me smile, and I loved every second of it. I personally would love my own Chris.. Oh well. *Sigh* I'll just settle for what I've got. Definitely beautiful. Top three stories I've read. : )

Whatttt theee hellllll.............................. That's so strange. I think I'm a little disturbed. I just sneeze and hold up my hand mid-sentence.... -Marco-Fish.

There's a singer called Fiona Apple? What an Awesome name! As for the line, I've never heard of her stuff, atleast not that I know of.

*BLUSH!* Thanks guys..... Ah gee... you can make a guy blush you can!

Indeed I agree profusely with kjames. I'm a bit new to the story... as you know . And I'm looking forward to the following updates. Plus.. Chapter 5 ending.... verrrrryyy niceee... Sort of inspired a little spell of writing for myself. So your pride is well founded.

I'm quite addicted to blogging... Even though I don't get many views.. *cough cough grin* I keep writing, constantly. It's very cathartic to be able to air out my dirty laundry. Anyone else been pleasantly surprised by their love of blogging?
