NP-'Clumsy'--Our Lady Peace

Lyn's Original Story Thingums that She Wants to Work on but Cannot Because the Desire to Work on Claris and Clarity is too Strong:

Stimulus: The renamed version of 'of light and darkness'... Even more freaky than Claris, it deals mostly with this girl named Rachel, who was murdered when she was 17. 17 years after the burial, Rachel showed up on her mother's doorstep, looking perfectly healthy (if slightly pale XD;). Her mother (who has no name yet) is naturally a little more than distressed by this, but her other daughter Briana (who is 16, having been born just before Rachel's death) is happy--her mother had never told her about her sister's death. The mother (who is very weakwilled and depressed most of the time^^;) thusly tries to act like everything's normal, but then weird stuff starts happening to Briana--whenever she walks by a mirror, she sees bloody, violent murders in the background of her reflection. Feeling sure that she's going insane, she confides this to her best friend, a dimunitive boy named Drelan (he's 15 1/2). Meanwhile, people actually are dying, at the hands of Rachel, no less (though of course Briana doesn't know this XD;). So the question is, who the hell is this person claiming to be Rachel? Why is Briana's mother so spineless? And why is Briana having scary visions? Etc. XD;

The Chrysalis of the Mind: Okay, this one is really in need of development.. it's my attempt at a true fantasy story, being that it takes place entirely on Septerra (my fantasy world type thing :B). Princess Septima is the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter, born on the seventh second of the seventh minute of the seventh hour of the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh year..etc. So everyone thinks she's really special, but really, there's not--she acts like your typical princess and follows all the rules, unlike her sisters, who are always behaving more liberally and trying to run away and be tom boyish, or the princes, who are mostly gay and feminine. XD; Her only friends are a group of elemental faeries (who do not have names). Life changes when an albino thief boy named Astyanax is hired to kidnap her, which he does, and he finds himself quite surprised when she doesn't even attempt to retaliate by running off when he's not looking or stabbing him in the back or something equally unpleasant. He brings her back to his little thieves' den, where the older people in the group (which is headed by a muscley-yet-pretty woman) are planning to sell her off..since everyone still thinks she's special. XD; Septima is not entirely keen on this idea, and her faerie friends aren't either--so they come to help her. Astyanax (who is developing a growing fascination with Septima's quiet-but-not-weak personality) attempts to step on them (being that they are faeries, they're only about six inches tall ^^;), but thanks to the wonders of an enlarging spell they basically beat the crap out of him. Septima feels bad for him and convinces the faeries to let him alone, so they leave. Astyanax, after he comes to, sets out after them. I'm not quite sure what happens after that (even the above is sketchy sketchy^^;), but there are some terribly psychotic villains and forces threatening their world, so it's all good. :B

This is getting long, so continued in next entry..
