1st Username-Promises Kept History: A promise is a vow made made between people and it's something that should never be torn or broken. I find promises strange things--how easily they can be forgotten and how easy it is to invest so much into them. They can be small and insignificant, or monumental and life-changing, but no matter how large and how much history they hold, they can sometimes be the most powerful exchange of words.

Hello, Bonjour, Buon Giorno!

There isn't much to say about myself so I'll give a quick little intro.

Name: Alyssa (Ali)

Age: 19

Who Am I?: Perky, blonde and positively insane

"There's a place that you can go to
And it's never very far
Famous people you can live through
If you don't know who you are
Why there's so much to live up to
Expectations are so high
I'm not crying, it's my contacts
There must be something in my eye."

For sometime now, I haven't written. And chances are if I haven't written stories in two years there is a reason behind it. Multiple actually. All of which I'm not at liberty to discuss. So for the few dears who I honestly do love and haven't been ass-wipes and sons-of-guns, I'm sorry. You know I loved you once, and I still do. Everything happens for a reason, and the creative streak I had while posting here was enough for my heart to burst sometimes. But this a form of escapism. And eventually, Wendy Darling returned home too.

I love you all so very much. I've grown. I've learnt. I've laughed. And I may have even cried.

Until next time, bon nuit.

P.S. For you slim few fishes still traipsing around here: I'm still involved around here (replacing one addiction with another). Come find me!

Another chapter within two days? Yep. Why? I've lost my mind.

"Through the Looking-Glass" chapter 7, 'The Last Shot'.

Sunday, July 12, 2009:

What can I say. Things have been hectic in my life, and maybe a year long breather was just what I needed. I feel terrible the way I up and left on the people who have been so dedicated and kind. That is one thing I do regret.

As an apology in sorts, I have written an angsty drabble as a part of "Through the Looking-Glass".

I am back though. However, I do not know for how long.

Monday, January 12, 2008:

Happy Chapter 15th!

Hahah, yep! The 15 chapter is here. Crazy isn't it?

I thank everyone who's favorited, or sent a review or even an alert! You guys are all so wonderful!

Wednesday, January 07, 2008:

Chapter 14 has been uploaded, and by God, I hope you folks like this one. It's probably the most emotional one I've written so far and easily, the hardest one too.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and I hope the first 7 days of the new year have been exciting.

Saturday, December 20, 2008:

Chapter 13 has been uploaded.

Well, it seems the holidays are here and Christmas is just around the corner. In case i'm not able to update within the next few day, I wish you all the best and I hope you all have a wonderful 2009!

Wednesday, December 10, 2008:

Chapter 11 has been uploaded.

Now, to all of you who have 'Through The Looking-Glass' on Alert, or me or who have sent a review, I truly and deeply appreciate it on all levels of the word. To be honest, if I had it my way you'd all be getting big bear hugs from me. It means so much that you all enjoy my story, and that all of you care enough to send it creative criticism and comments.

It means the world to me. All of you are the reasons why I continue to write!

Things didn't go according to plan... but then again, how often do they?

The update wasn't placed on the site the day I had promised and I apologize. Things haven't been, how we say, up to par. Everything is hectic and disorganized and really mind boggling right now. I don't feel as though a story is required because, not only is the tale boring, but I don't feel comfortable sharing at this time.

Chapter 9 had been uploaded, though.

Thursday, November 27, 2008:

So, i'm back and here with a news.

1) Chapter 8 of "Through the Looking-Glass" was just uploaded; hope you enjoy.

2) Chapter 9 will be up tomorrow, for a fact.

3) I broke my big toe.

Friday, November 21, 2008:

Well, my pretties.

I won't be uploading this week as much, for I am heading up north for a ski trip with my sister. She's back from school and for a pre-Christmas trip we're heading up to a lodge.

As a farewell present, I am leaving you all with Chapter 7 for "Through the Looking-Glass". It is a mini-sequel to Chapter 6, because I felt it needed more of a Lollie ending.

Bon Voyage!

Wednesday, November 19, 2008:

Ali's in a wonderfully joyous mood!

As a result, i've decided to share my mood with everyone here by updating "Through The Looking-Glass"'s chapter 6. I hope you all like. I'm personally proud of it.

Monday, November 17, 2008:

I hate updating on Mondays; such a lazy day... but, because my Mom made me vegetable medley and pork tenderloin for dinner, i've decided to do so.

Chapter 5 for "Through The Looking-Glass" has been uploaded. Now, please, send some reviews. I only recieved one for the last chapter.

Friday, November 14, 2008:

Just as I promised. Chapter 4 entitled 'No Regrets on Love' has just been uploaded for "Through The Looking-Glass". Hope you enjoy and please review.

Due to this chapter, the rating of K+ has been changed to a T.

Tuesday, November 11, 2008:

Hey, everyone!

Just wanted to let you know that chapter 3, entitled 'Life Time Of White', for "Through The Looking-Glass" has just been uploaded. Thanks again everyone for all the support and comments. They really are the best things to read in the mornings before school.

Have a great week everyone, and be expecting the next one by Friday or Saturday. No Lies.

Wednesday, November 05, 2008:

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween, All Saints Day and Election Day.

I’m proud to announce- though, I’m sure you all are aware- Barack Obama is the new American President!

Now, with all Politics aside, I have news involving my stories. I have just uploaded the first chapter of my second drabble series, titled “Through the Looking-Glass.” They say that with Good news comes Bad and unfortunately I have some of that too. "Serendipity" will be placed on hiatus until further notice due to lack of ideas and writers block.

If you'd like to lend a helping hand, please PM with an idea or something.

Thursday, October 23, 2008:

Yep... it's been almost a whole month since my last update. Wow, I feel the guilt kicking it. I'm deeply sorry to everyone who's reading.

Well, with that said, chapter 4 of "Serendipity" was just uploaded and my apology is placed at the end of that chapter.

Monday, September 29, 2008:

Kay, so it's been like a week and I totally forgot to update. I apologize, but can you blame a girl; Bio and Chem frickin' insane!

So, the third chapter of "Serendipity" had been uploaded and the fourth should be up my Saturday or Sunday. We'll see how busy Friday is.

Wednesday, September 17, 2008:

Just uploaded the second chapter for "Serendipity".

Please R&R... You'll get a yummy plate of cyber waffles if you do!

Wednesday, September 10, 2008:

I've been writing a bit more over the weekend since school started, and I felt kinda bad that I didn't write an actual Loliver story. It was pure friendship fluff; so I decided to fix that and write another story. Loliver centered too!

First chapter is up.

BTW: For "Serendipity" don't expect me to update if I don't get one single review. I hate to sound rude, but honestly, i'd like to know what about the story you like.

Tuesday, August 26, 2008:

Just got home from my vacation yesterday, and i've been having a writing craving, so keep checking back. There'll be many stories coming your way soon.

Please don't ask me when though. They'll be up on there own time.

Stories in Progress:

Serendipity: It was a fortunate accident that day. ‘Why’ you may ask? Well, it was the day Lilly met Oliver. An AU, FutureFic. HIATUS.

Chalkboard Confessions: While waiting for their parents to pick them from school, Lilly and Oliver pass the time by playing ‘Blind Artist’ on the chalkboard. Loliver Oneshot. Inspired by an idea given to me by Comic-Book-Girl. HIATUS.

Through the Looking-Glass: Drabbles pertaining to the relationship of Lilly and Oliver. Simply a series of literary nonsense and nothing more. /17: The Last Shot. HIATUS.

“Once upon a time in a far away land, a young Prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired the Prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind. But then, one winter’s night an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again the old woman’s ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful Enchantress. The Prince tried to apologize but it was too late, for she had seen there was no love in his heart and as punishment she transformed him into a hideous beast, and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form the beast counseled himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose which would bloom until his twenty first year. If he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed he fell into despair and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast...”
