What I've written
Shattered Mirrors: My first full novel, a piece of crap about the adolescence of a boy and his psychotic friends (300 pages of what you'd expect from a 14year old's first novel- fucking, killing, swearing, drinking...etc.)
Goodbyes and Blacklists: Unfinished same world as SM story about two teenage hitmen boys making out. End of story.
Thin Fingers and Backstabbing: Again, same universe story as SM. The four way reationship between British sophomores in Devon.
What I write about? Homosexuality, romance, killing, insanity...fun stuff. Lately, transparency, what one says, and what one thinks, and religion. What I need to write soon is some fantasy to get it out of my system. Probably something like a androgynous boy-whore pyromaniac who stumbles upon a tome of pyromancy.
I hate describing writing when my stories are few at an unacceptable level to me because it just seems phony. But in all seriousness, I think "Literary Thriller" is what I'd pitch to an agent. Attempts at high concept, "wordy" tales that have a very determined plot. Whether it is crime/horror or kitchen sink bullshit.
I write silly little stories that make me laugh. Sometimes it's The Box meets Office Space, set in a government agency. Sometimes it's a chance run-in with the last great soft-core porn star. Most of the time, it's just a long way to go for a dick joke.
I'm here because someday I'd like write publishable stories of substance, that also make me laugh.
@Typewriter I want to read Goodbye and Blacklists.
