Comparative Advantage

Hey guys! Confessions of a Former Chew Toy won Quirkiest Chapter Title in the SKoW Awards! Yeah, I know this is kind of a belated announcement, but I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who voted!

Also, I'm adding a page to this site, pretty much just for shits and giggles, that is dedicated to the interesting and often hilarious things my professors here at Cornell say. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed hearing them in lectures.

SKoW voting is about to start! And guess what? Confessions of a Former Chew Toy has been nominated for Quirkiest Chapter Title (Ch. 4, "Noisy Fornication is a Neighborly No-No")! So please, so check out the SKoW website and, if you are so inclined, vote for me!

Also, I only just figured this out, but Six Weeks With Satan won the award for Best First Kiss in Round 1 of the TiRO Awards! Wow, I'm an idiot for not realizing that sooner... But thank you so much to everyone who voted!

Some of my friends on Fictionpress (e.g. angels and effects and SamanthaNicole) have recently taken down their work because of the wave of plagiarism that has been going around. First of all, I want to say that I completely support their decisions. Second of all, and I say this with emphasis, plagiarism is NOT okay. Both at my high school and here at Cornell, plagiarism is taken as an incredibly serious offense. Not to mention that it's illegal. If you're doing it, you will get caught - it's a very obvious crime, especially when the story in question is widely read.

That being said, if anyone ever sees a plagiarized version of one of my stories, please let me know immediately. And to any plagiarizers reading this, if you steal my work, I will hunt you down and take legal action. To everyone else, much love!

Sorry for the ominous message. I posted the same one on my Fictionpress profile page, but thought I'd emphasize the importance by posting it here as well.

Also, I just changed this part of my website into blog-format. Just FYI.

As of today, I am officially done with my freshman year of college! And you all know what that means: more time to write! My poor dear roommate, DancingChaChaFruit/Sarah, still has some exams left to go, though.

Like the new layout? I was getting bored of the old one, so I decided to make a change. I also edited some stuff (playlists and pages for each story), so check it out!

My challenge response, She Looks to Me, was awarded Judge's Pick for Best Challenge Response in Round 7 of the SKoW Awards! Thank you so much for all the support you've shown me!

Hey all! I just finished my finals yesterday, thank God, and I have great news! Six Weeks With Satan was nominated for "Best First Kiss" in the Time is Running Out awards! For those of you who don't know, TiRO is the sister site of SKoW. Here's the website:

I'm back! I'm so sorry it's taken me solong to put chapter eight up, but college kind of ate my life. Just to let you all know, I'm making a "links" page for websites that somehow relate to my stuff or have information I think people might want to see. I'm planning on taking pictures of stuff around the Cornell campus for my settings album sometime soon as well, so those should be up within the next couple of weeks.

Oh my gosh, I go off to college in less than a month! I'm so excited!

Anyway, I added some pictures to both of the Confessions of a Former Chew Toy albums (characters and settings) and also a page of fun Cornell stuff (Cornelliana). I figured that would be good for clarifying some of the things that'll be appearing in the story, and also just because I love my school. :-) Check it out!

Just in case nobody noticed, I added a"Q & A" page. It has one of those interactive messaging things, so you can ask questions, and I can respond to them directly on the same page. Check it out!

I'm also adding a page of song lyrics that inspire me for my stories, since I think that music can have a great emotional impact on the listener.

Hey, everyone, Katie here, but you probably know me as woodstock1969. I was inspired by my dear friend SamanthaNicole to start my own page to share photographs, news, and other goodies with you, my lovely readers! Anyway, this site will be a work in progress, since I've never attempted to do something like this before (I'm not particularly tech-savvy). Stay tuned for updates!

The first bit of awesomeness that I have to share is that Six Weeks With Satan was nominated for "Best Lovers' Spat" in Round 6 of the Some Kind of Wonderful Romance Awards! Thank you to everyone! Voting starts on July 12, and the link is http://skow.endless-romance.net
