about me

the evolution revolution:

i believe in honesty. i believe that i deserve to know the truth about my writings, even if that truth is ugly. and i believe that the truth is being repressed by people who are either too afraid to offend or who don't care enough to say it.

so here's my pledge. in all of my dealings with my fellow inkpoppers, i will do my best to be honest. this does not mean merciless slaughter of innocent poems and novels, this does not mean insta-picks for every short story that i read. this means that, what i read, i will comment on. what you do is up to you.

i promise to:
1. always read at least one chapter; thoroughly. no skimming, no once-overs. i will be an honest reader.
2. balance my comment with what i liked and didn't liked. i will give an honest review that is as helpful and supportive as it can be.




hello there. my name is sasha, sah-shuh, and don't forget it. no seriously, you have no idea how many times people mispronounce it. i'm very sarcastic (i even have a t-shirt that says so!) and people annoy me. there are very little things that interest me, and writing happens to be one of them, as does coffee and television. i'm addicted to thesauruses and the internet. i hope to be an author one day, like most of you probably do. i suck at making pitches for my work. here are the ten random things you don't need to know about me:


1) i don't include 10 and 12 as numbers. yes, that sounds strange, but it sounds even stranger when you're counting.
2) i refuse to wear any other shoes besides my ratty chuck taylors.
3) i like heavy metal music. it's just so whimsical.
4) my brother may or may not be possesed by the devil himself.
5) if i was stranded on a desert island, the one thing i would bring with me would be a harry potter book. preferably the last.
6) i won't watch anything with selma blair in it.
7) i accept "weird" as a compliment.
8) i devour books at an alarming rate.
9) my face is a magnet for balls, mainly basketballs.
11) i have a strange obsession with the word "whatever".

*that's right, i didn't use the number ten. what, you thought i was joking?

Tainted

by fiveforfighting42

Short Story: Adventure, Paranormal, General Fiction, Science Fiction/Fantasy

What becomes of the world when the one who protects us is cast out and damned to live among us?

When Ariel, the angel who protects us, who keeps the world from falling to pieces, falls from grace for being too like us and lands on our planet, she must deal with the effects of her absence from Heaven and try to get back to save the Earth and the humans she loves. This is on the path of being a book, but I'm not close to 10,000 (why do they even have that rule?) so it is, as of now, a short story.
