Amy ´the Ames´ Perkins

Amy has crazy character obsesson. Also draws.

 

 

A bit about me I suppose....I have a BS in Ecology and a BS in Marine Biology from Florida Institute of Technology. I have graduated, as of May 2006 (woot!) As of August '08 I've graduated with a Masters in Microbiology but I really studied aliens.   And yay! Married! Enjoy reading!

I really really really really love constructive criticism. I warn you though, my use of commas is atrocious and I really like split infinitives (in fact, there may be one in this sentence. ) For those who have given criticism, I love you!!! and all suggestions have been noted and I will updating soon with the corrections. I am now a member of the Herscher Project in an effort to stimulate me updating more often so people will have something new to read when they revisit my page *grins*  If you'd like more information about said project, the best person to ask is Mr. Bowers

*Tara pokes Amy*

Oh, and Tara would like me to remind all visitors that she really really enjoys comments and making new friends with other characters...

*Tara pokes Amy again* 

And that you should visit some of the people linked below

 

Micah English  - He is the Lord of all that is Dark and Evil so long as it can be tender at some point (Hurray Nazgrim)  Most female visitors find his obnoxious yet cute Zeno irresistable. His characters tend to wander the pages of Elfwood as well.
Cecily Webster - My favorite piece of hers is "Two Heroes against Microsoft Word" Absolutely priceless. Oh, and bring treats, her mothlike muse will love you forever. Be mindful of the Fallen Angels ..... and Kitty
Guinevere Logan- a very talented young writer. The Path is a journey not to be missed!
Kaeli Grotz- A wonderful writer who has an unhealthy obsession with Zeno, from Micah's page =P  Also great with contructive criticism!
Ray Arquette- Bring pickles for Fearcher, the most adorable pet that was never allowed in a dorm room.
Shanra - Someone who I have visited far too few times but has been wonderfully helpful and offers great constructive criticism.
Bethie - She's got a great collection of writing, my favorite being Turquoise. Her mainpage is a busy marketplace of writers....
Panu - To quote Cecily... Panu is mighty. He takes that which is surreal and from the dreamscape and fleshes it out with words in our waking reality.

 

 And since it has caused some confusion....here are the groupings of related stories:

Tara - the planned sequence of stories

The Beginnings ~ where we meet Tara as a young child,  currently the main focus of my writing, Updated: March 2007 - made some much needed editting   Unfinished
 ~much time passes~

 

Prologue - followed by

Strength of Cassion ~ where Tara is mistaken for a Goddess and has to help an unlikely hero save the world    Unfinished and being COMPLETELY rewritten, as in, starting over rewritten, if you are interested in seeing the new version, please leave a comment or send an email to me

Cassion Alternate Ending ~ No longer a spoiler within, questions answered and people die, where things go horribly wrong and Tara gets mad at the author for even posting this ending

~time passes~

Orphan Knight ~ where a young man meets an unlikely Lady in the woods  Unfinished, although slightly independent, that point is arguable

~more time passes, wounds heal, other stories occur~

Elitists ~ where an unfortunate turn of events and mistaken identity reveal a community of purists Unfinished

~time passes some more~

Stands of Cypress ~ where an evil villain returns to wreak havoc in a world where magic cannot be used  Unfinished...

 

Standalones

First Day of a Career of a Lifetime ~ What would happen if you saw something miraculous on your first day at work?

Freedom ~ Tara is in it, but it has no relevance within the timeline of her life and makes no reference to any other story that she is in, merely an exercise

Overlords: Do's and Don't's ~ The collaboration with Mikey and his lovable and bouncy Zeno   Moderator's Pick!

 

Work in Progress:   In prioritized order.....

Finishing Overlords so Mikey will stop bothering me

NaNoWriMo Stuff

Herscher Project   #21.5, 22 and 23
Strength of Cassion rewrite
