My Poetry
Some of this stuff can get pretty corny. Others can get pretty sappy. Some of it is also pretty long. Read at your own risk! I've decided not to include descriptions for each poem here, since for the most part, each one is pretty short. Instead, I've grouped them by subject. Within each subject, the poems are in no particular order.
- Fun Stuff
- The Redundant King of Redundancy
- The Whiteboard
- Salty
- Never Gonna Get it and Got it

Original Fiction by DSDragon
My Original Fiction
Over the years, I've written a few things that weren't part of any fandom. Here are some of those works.
- Inkwells - Various stories written in response to prompts from the Haven's writing group, the Inkwells.
- Drabbles - Various drabbles written in various places, inspired by single words.
- Miscellaneous Scenes from Writer's Block Exercises - Various drabbles and scenes inspired by The Writer's Block.
- Horrors! - A short bit of horror inspired by The Writer's Block.
- Graffiti Mystery - Challenge from The Writer's Block: Invent a character who sees a phone number on a restroom wall. Describe what happens when he or she dials it.
- An Elsewhere to Be - Two Challenges from The Writer's Block. Sparkword: Waiting. Challenge: Describe the most boring job you've ever suffered through.
- Aeila's Lesson - A story I wanted to submit to the Writers of the Future contest. I think I actually did, but I didn't win. Oh well, looking back, I realize it wasn't all that well-written anyway. A mixture of fantasy, LDS fiction, and historical fiction. Originally posted at FictionPress.com, but taken down for the possibility of a re-write. I'm never going to re-write it, so I've decided to post it here.
- Darkhaven - A short story based on a character (Runia Darkhaven) I created for a Yahoo!Group RPG based on DragonLance. The story itself has nothing to do with DragonLance though, so the story is here in the Original Fiction section. Originally posted at FictionPress.com, but taken down for the possibility of a re-write. I'm never going to re-write it, so I've decided to post it here.
- Enzera and Various Re-Writes - A mystery that I wanted to write, but could never get past the first chapter or so. The first two are relatively similar, while the third one is the most drastic re-write. "Enzera" is a foreign form of "influenza." I can't remember whether it's German or something else. "Magenzera" is basically "stomach flu," or a bastardized version thereof. Originally posted at FictionPress.com, but taken down for the possibility of a re-write. I'm never going to re-write it, so I've decided to post it here. This story concept has been abandoned.
- Facebook Friends Writing Exercises - Three short stories based on challenges I asked my Facebook friends to set for me. Each challenge is included in the notes before the story begins.
- A Zippy Discovery - This story is about a discovery made on an alien world by human colonists.
- After the Bell - This time, the story is about a student of English Literature and a paper he's written.
- Working with the Voices - This one was a bit more elaborate, and the result made me kind of ambivalent about posting it. For one thing, it deals with subjects with which I’m not that familiar, and for another, it gets a bit preachy toward the end.
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfiction by DSDragon
My Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Fanfiction
I am most proud of these stories for three reasons: One, I believe that these show how much I have grown as a writer since my BtVS days; Two, I am currently still active in the Lois and Clark fandom; and Three, I am not doing the same old cutesy thing now as I did back then--I've diversified the number of characters and situations I write about, which is particularly satisfying to me. Slowly, but surely, I'm finishing the longest story I've ever written, and I'm determined never to abandon it!
- The Pitfalls and Pleasantries of Kryptonian Multiplication - Clark’s life goes into a tailspin when he receives not two, but FOUR Kryptonian visitors--not to mention those pesky people trying to get rid of them all--in this multichaptered extension of the author’s vignette, “Voices in My Head.” Each chapter post has a link at the bottom, so you won't have to come back here to find the next chapter if you're reading straight through.
- Prologue: Long Journey's End
- Chapter One: Voices in My Head
- Chapter Two: Excitement and Confusion
- Chapter Three: Planning, Plotting, and a Personal Favor
- Chapter Four: Rivals and Arrivals
- Chapter Five: Explanation and Exasperation
- Chapter Six: Marriages and Mayhem
- Chapter Seven - Coming Soon!
- Better Holiday Memory - Ficathon response for CarolM. After Lois & Clark defeat Trask, Perry gives them time off for an early Thanksgiving.
- Unexpected Visitor Vignettes
- Unexpected Visitor - Lois's relationship with Lex prompts Clark to sit her down for an important discussion... But who's that at the door? Find out in the first in a collection of vignettes centered around Clark's unexpected visitor.
- Phone Call - Clark hears from his parents that there's someone looking for him at the farm someone whose presence could change his life forever. The second in a collection of vignettes based on the same premise as the author's Unexpected Visitor.
- You Learn Something New Every Day - Jimmy learns something new about Superman. Make that two somethings! The third in a collection of vignettes based on the same premise as the author's Unexpected Visitor.
- Voices in My Head - Clark must be losing his mind. He just fought his way through a Kryptonite force field, Lois is telling him that "Sarah" and "David Miller" FLEW away, and to top it off, he's hearing voices in his head? Don't even get him started on the things those voices are telling him.... The fourth in a collection of vignettes based on the same premise as the author's "Unexpected Visitor."
- Computer Whiz's Genius - Lois is trapped in Jaxon's virtual world, with Jimmy and Superman working as fast as they can to rescue her, when Superman gets the surprise of his life. The fifth and final story in a collection of vignettes based on the same premise as Unexpected Visitor.
- The Eyes Unfettered - What if Perry hadn't interrupted Clark's response to Mayson's invitation in the episode The Eyes Have it? (The first Lois and Clark
fanfic I ever wrote) - The Setup - Lois is peeved, and the owner of the First Metropolis Bank owes her a favor. What's a reporter to do?
- When the Snitch Didn't Snitch - Lois learns that even Bobby Bigmouth can keep a secret.
- Vitamins and Minerals - There's no cure for Kryptonite, but one ordinary morning Dr. Klein thinks he might have found something that will at least help.
- Three Squares a Day . . . Can't Complain - Someone waxes nostalgic about his job at the Planet. This vignette is a look at that question many FOLC's still ask: Whatever happened to Jack?
Harry Potter Fanfiction by DSDragon
My Harry Potter Fanfiction
I think that my writing style started to get better around the time I became active in the Harry Potter fandom. I'm not as embarrassed by these stories and other offerings as I am by my various Buffy, Angel, and Star Trek offerings.
- Second-Year Confessions - Set in some nondescript OotP time period, a secondyear Ravenclaw tells about her experience with the Goblet of Fire.
- Close Encounters of the Slytherin Kind - Neville is interrupted in his studies by an unexpectedly genial Slytherin. Not my usual choice of pairing, but it was fun to write.
- What Makes Draco Malfoy Tick? - An essay I wrote about Draco Malfoy.
- UU Drabbles - Outtakes between 100 and 500 words, written for Sara's UU Drabble Contests. Based on robin4's Unbroken Universe series. Rated for some semigraphic elements.
- Slytherin Promise - This is a chaptered outtake to Robin4's Unbroken Universe series, detailing Horace Smeltings' first few months at Hogwarts. This story has been abandoned.
- What is this Thing? - An acrostic poem written about the various stories in the Unbroken Universe at the time the poem was written.
The stories below were three of the six audition entries I made for the LJHPRPG Inflecto. Sadly, I cannot find the other two. I had six characters in the RPG: Percy, Bill and Fred Weasley (yes, a full THIRD of the Weasley family), Professor McGonagall, Fleur Delacour, and Collin Creevey. Of those six, I was not able to find the audition entries for Bill, Fleur or Collin. To see any of the other posts I wrote for the RPG, please follow the links I made on each character's name, or the link to the game community above, as there are some posts which were made in collaboration with some of the other gamers, and I do not have permission to copy those posts here.
- Perspective on Pride - Percy reflects.
- A Weasley Twin's Worries - Fred gets serious.
- McGonagall Gives it a Shot - A Ravenclaw asks a question, and gets Professor McGonagall thinking. . . . and acting.
Angel: The Series Fanfiction by DSDragon
My Angel: The Series Fanfiction
Lost and Found - Response to my own Angelverse challenge, as posted at Visions Of... and Crumbling Walls. I never welch on my own challenges, so here is the response.
Buffy/Angel Cross-Overs
Huh? - Angel gets a couple visitors, and confusion ensues.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fanfiction by DSDragon
My Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fanfiction
Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the first fandom in which I participated fully. In fact, until my sister Anna got me reading some stories by Saber Shadowkitten, I had no idea that fanfiction even existed--despite the fact that I'd written one for the Star Trek fandom long before that. So, despite the fact that some of them embarrass me with terrible writing and bad plot lines, here are all of the stories I ever wrote for BtVS.
- Problems and Solutions - Response to a challenge posted by Nocte on the Crumbling Walls forum. WARNING! Due to the nature of the challenge, there IS character death! But don't worry! They get better.
- Stranger Things Have Happened - A goofy, almost-plotless response to my own challenge posted at the Crumbling Walls Forum. Willow is conspicuously absent, except in conversation . . . I like to think she's recovering from her magic addiction by staying away from the people who might need magical services.
- Leave a Message - Just a little diddy of a ficlet I wrote to make everyone's day.
- For Old Times' Sake - Response to GreenGirl47's challenge, as posted at Crumbling Walls.
- Dawn Must Die - A challenge response... death, angst... possibly darkness if I can figure out how to write it.
- Can You Fight Nerds? - A small, fractionofasecond interlude that I well, my sister, who was in the room at the time thought of while I was reading Nimue's The Twist to Normal Again.
- In the Alley - Songfic. Inspired by an old NSync song. Don't kill me!
- TLC Cross-Over Universe
- Trading Insanities - Buffy Summers and William Wirthington have been neighbors since childhood. When their parental figures decide to join a game show where teamwork is key, Buffy may just realize that the last guy she wants is the only guy she needs.
- While You Were . . . - The sequel to Trading Insanities that you've all been waiting for. : It is set four years after the end of Trading Insanities, so that would make it May of 2003. This story has been abandoned.
- Co-Written Works - These stories are not posted on my blog, because I do not have permisson from my co-writers to copy them here. However, where possible, I have provided links to the "official" copies elsewhere.
- Kamikaze Vampire Universe written with Alison Grace
- Kamikaze Vampire - Answer to a challenge posted by Cecelia on Crumbling Walls. (Links are to the story as posted at Sinister Attraction)
- Drutopia - The sequel to Kamikaze Vampire. This story was never posted anywhere, and I have the first bits of it on my hard drive, but I am reluctant to post it here, since, as I said before, I do not have Alison Grace's permission to do so. This story has been abandoned.
- Malevolent Shades - This was a round-robin fic that was started with a bunch of people on one of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer message boards I used to frequent. It was never posted anywhere except for that board (and sadly, I cannot remember which one), so the pieces of it on my hard drive will not be posted here. This story has been abandoned.
- Buffy/Angel Cross-Over Fanfiction
- Huh? - Angel gets a couple visitors, and confusion ensues.
