With the "Writer's Club" in full bloom, it's comforting to see numerous talents coming
forward and posting their own work. I wont drop names because I'm not even sure
who to name here, but whoever he/she/it/potato is should be damn proud of what
he/she/it/potato has done. Truly Batoto has a number of artists in their own field and right.

So after much contemplation, and a few confirmation sessions, I've decided to
contribute to this wonderful community and post a decade old romance
"manuscript" I worked on before. This one is special to me, for some reason
left unsaid. With that being said (or unsaid) I'll introduce the concept of the Neverender.

The Neverender is a 4-chapter story told in a series of poems written by me. The premise,
characters, plot and all that other stuff will be introduced in poem form. It may be unclear
sometimes and the form factor does have a certain roughness to it but I do hope you'll read
it and I'll enjoy reading your honest and constructive feedback. Let's start, the Neverender...

UPDATE: The Neverender SS1: Psychology of Love


Chapter 1: Nowhere to go but...

 

Prologue:
The Start of the Neverender
-seyrine_13

Spoiler


With pen and paper, I dare write
A tale that has been on my mind
A simple one, from me to you
With simple words and emotions true


Why do I write this tale you ask?
Like a fool that keeps his eyes on the past
and relive memories as clear as dreams
Dreams that show more than it seems


Think of this convoluted tale
as a way to freshen my stale
reason to why I still sing our song
out of tune, but playing on and on


Now I’m full of cream and coffee
Time to head back and start the story
My voice is weak, so come a little closer
Let’s begin, The Neverender

Well, if we I didn't prod you on we wouldn't have read such an entertaining story. xD

So we can say what I did was fair. I hedged my bets on you posting it using a substantial investment offer.
;)

And thanks...

Thanks for the enthusiasm guys! I'm getting number 2 and 3 in order so expect an update soon.

UPDATE: I was dissatisfied with my work years ago, so I re-made it. Here we go.


Day One: August 3

The Introduction

-s13


Wednesday's child is full of woe
The sun is high but spirits low
Walking slowly, nowhere to go
Bored and just going with the flow
And as I consign myself to wander
A voice somehow got me to wonder
As I turn, to my own surprise
A girl, around five foot five
She pursed and moistened her lips
And instantly, my heart starts to skip
A beat, now two; in tune with her voice
As she says, "Hi! My name is..."

hahahah XD oh sey. You're da penguin.

Liking how its told in a poem fashion =) Especially the verses in the beginning

"Why do I write this tale you ask?
Like a fool that keeps his eyes on the past
and relive memories as clear as dreams
Dreams that show more than it seems"


Damnnnnn that was fine. Those lines alone seduced me into listening.
Keep them coming =D
You have gotten Kuromon's full attention =3!

On an iPad somewhere, thanking the stars I remembered the password to my VPN. Here's an update to Day One. Alla prossima!



Day One: Supplement
Where We Started
-s13

Just another girl I barely know
On a Wednesday afternoon, we met
Yet something about her enchant me so
Confirmed upon eyes first set

Enchanted by her annoying smile
Annoyed by her bewitching remarks
Noting that my heart stopped for a while
Never thought that she could cause such sparks

As we say the first words of our lines
And try to converse without being
Awkward, as we both search for the signs
That may lead towards the beginning

Yay! Mama got it! :3
/me huggles

Ok now for some announcements:

Aside from continuing the main story, a.k.a. The Neverender, there will be two side stories to
be presented soon - hence the reason why I labeled this as a "series". They happen around
the tail end of the Neverender and occur in parallel with each other. Which means they will
converge at some point in the story. They won't have any specific update schedules but at
least I'll finish them before I finish the main story (I hope).

Then again, my laziness might take over and turn this post into a vaporware announcement.
We'll just have to see. I'll announce the names of the side-stories in their respective first post.
Until then. :)

I am confused. Really, really confused. Basically it seems that the flow of
the main story isn't going as well as I would like and I need a lot of tweaks
in order to set things right. That and writer's block started creeping up on
me and while I know what will happen two pages from now, I don't know how
to express those two pages in-between!

So to help cure this case of the "blocks" (and maybe finish what I started)
I have written two short "stories" that occurred the end of Neverender's
3rd chapter. I may or may not continue these stories, since my priority is
the main line story. But hey, you'll never know when the "blocks" might
clear up, right? Enough babbling from me.



SS1: The Neverender: Psychology of Love

Part One: Rubin's Scales

-s13


We both know that love isn't real
It's just the way our brain makes us feel
Via the hormones that we produce
From our brain's hypothalamus

Attachment, Caring, Intimacy
Three elements of this fallacy
Rubin said that this composes love
Yet our theory says it's just a bluff

So you could imagine my surprise
That the single thing that we despise
Could make two people that's nothing alike
Closer together in one bed tonight

But before I get too far ahead
To that part where tears will be shed
To make sense of what's written above
Start the Neverender: Psychology of Love

I kinda got lost on the main story so I'm making side story because its more recent. :) You know the title of the other story, right anni?

Off topic: Posting (and mod-ing) from my phone sucks.
