Zaq1
ZAQ1--Go here to read the story!
Anyway, this is a SciFi story I began writing as a class assignment, which was basically filling up three pages of lined paper with just about anything (As long as it was about something). Rather than doing three pages of lined paper, it filled up three and a half pages of a microsoft word document. I turned in the incomplete (hadn't even got past the beginning) document, full of fatal errors and got an A+. Seeing the potential of this story, I kept it handy, and continued with it: it was the first story I didn't feel like throwing away. In three days it grew to 10,000 characters (as in text), and then it slowed a little but still kept going, growing from 10,000 characters with spaces to almost 22,000 in three weeks, getting to 21 thousand and 9 hundered something earlier today. And despite doubling in size, I have not yet even passed the beginning. I am quite confident that I will be writing this story for a long time. So far it has 4 chapters, but will continue to grow. EDIT: the title is supposed to be in all caps: ZAQ1 EDIT 2: The temporary link has been deleted. Use the one at the top of the post.

Hey, trolls' bane, I LOVE your story!! Are you going to finish it? I want to read more, want to find out what happens when he goes to ZAQ1. You've got a terrific imagination. Ever thought of scriptwriting? Your ideas are fresh and well-researched, and you have a nice, steady writing pace and truly interesting visual imagery. I live in L.A. and (try to) write, as well - maybe one of these days we could compare notes - or whatever, anyway - are you going to post more story soon?

I'll try now. I'm on Mom's computer, so I'll go to mine and e-mail it to her and then copy and paste it.
I'm doing that now.

Can't wait. That's a beautiful website, BTW. Love the falling-star cursor tail.

By the time you finish readin Chapters 1-4, I'll have five up.
MAn, I told hectorberlioz I had nothing to do...how right I was! I live in the Valley (you know the valley I mean since you live in LA) and it is the hottest day this year so far.

I was thinking of driving into Hollywood this afternoon to visit a friend; didn't realise it was so hot in the valley 'cause I'm in Hermosa Beach and it's thick with overcast and fog over here today. Depressing weather.

I started reading your story, TB. I like it! It`s well written and interesting! ...And now I actually have posted in your thread. o_o The part with the train was cool because it felt just like getting on a train here, only crazy and futuristic.
