Title: Butterflies and Coffee
Characters: Ume-kun, Serapi
Rating: G-
Warnings: None
Notes: Wrote this in 1999, late summer, maybe early fall. This one was for J.S., who I seem to have offended the shit out of shortly after this. We haven't spoken since December of the following year, if not before that… Time gets fuzzy as it passes, but it's been a good many years.

Title: A Cowboy, an Offworlder, and a Killer for Shoes
Characters: Julia Roarke, Amelia Bayer, Marc Marquette, William/Willie, Doug Burke, and an unfortunate poodle.
Rating: T
Warnings: Bad grammar, murder, animal cruelty.
Notes: Written in 1998, with three other people from my class, for an assignment in collaborative writing. If I'm not mistaken, the characters (except the offworlder) are theirs, and the writing is primarily mine. Yes, I know there's a sudden tense shift. I take full responsibility for that. Also, the text of this post was OCR'ed from the only copy left, so I'm slowly editing it into legibility.

Title:Â Life is Bigger…
Fandom:Â N/A
Characters:Â N/A
Rating: T
Warnings:Â Envy. Abuse.
Notes:Â Ars(e) Poetica :: March 3, 1998. Yeah, so, I said something about 'my fault', in the last note. I wasn't kidding. The swishy Queen Bitch, over here, has had a thing for damsels in distress, and occasionally kicks over into ass-kicking knight in shining armour mode. Tits and chocolate frosting will no longer cause me to extract you from your shitty relationship, beat up your boyfriend, and then buy you breakfast.

Title:Â Isolati
Fandom:Â N/A
Characters:Â N/A
Rating: T
Warnings:Â Death. Wangst.
Notes:Â Ars(e) Poetica #11 :: March 3, 1998. I hate this one. A lot. I was going through some shit with the wife, at the time, and well… I was a fucking mess. I was watching her come apart, and there was nothing I knew how to do about it. In the end, I was a fag, at heart, and she was a lesbian. It ended really poorly, later that year, as these things do. Also, I would like to publicly state that it was my fault, and I'm a dick, just in case you like me and were thinking of blaming her or the circumstances. We're still good friends. I'm still in love with her.

Title: The Flies
Rating: T
Warnings: Blasphemy, flies, death, angst
Notes: I dunno. It sounds a lot better than it looks. It's got lots of shouty bits. Found this one, undated, in Chrissie's handwriting, which gives me a little bit of a clue.

Title: Crash and Burn
Rating: T
Warnings: Blasphemy, violence, surreal visions, pessimism
Notes: It's speed-punk. It's best done (as with so many things I did, back in the day) in a voice that sounds like mice on helium or an 80s pop singer in a tin-can. And apparently, it's also part of the 1995 set, and not the 1994 set, like I thought. I thought this was attributable to JesseDeer, but it's almost a whole year too late for that, so I haven't the faintest what I was thinking, here.

Title: Dragon Dreams
Rating: T
Warnings: Attempted suicide, angst
Notes: This happened somewhere in the first quarter of 1995. I'm guessing it was April, because I seem to recall the show I tried to play it in being in May. Note, 'tried'. I had to submit something else entirely, to get the slot, because this dealt with issues that no one really wanted some high school kids listening to… *waits a mo for the irony to sink in* Anyway, I think it was Doc I wrote this one for. It sounds suspiciously like Doc. *grins*

Title: Poison Pills
Rating: T
Warnings: Freaky-surreal angst, suggestions of a poisoning
Notes: It's a love song. I swear to god, it's a love song. This is another of the 1995 set, I think from that same first-quarter push for that show, so that's how I'm gonna date it… *crosses fingers*

Title: Torturing the Dead
Rating: T
Warnings: Violence
Notes: As far as years go, 1994 kind of sucked. Not as bad as, say, 1996 or 2008, but it was up there. Most of 1994, I probably won't be posting, because I was 13/14, and most of it's not even worth the effort to type out. However, there are a few that are SO EFFING WEIRD that they deserve a little page space. This is one.
