Forgive Me (a picture story)
I have never been a fan of ice hockey even though I live in Vancouver, Canada. People say I’m crazy. It’s just always been too violent for me. But when you like someone, you tend to do things out of your comfort zone. For me, with Brian, it was going to a Vancouver Canucks game.
We had great seats. I was shivering in the rink and he lent me his sweatshirt. I smiled at him,...
TFiOS Thoughts/review/ whatever you want to call...
I am going to do my best at not spoiling anything for anyone but know that I am horrible at reviewing things. I mean that quite literally too, I have a hard stating exactly why I love or hate anything.
The Fault In Our Stars is probably my favorite John Green novel for the following reasons, I did not have to google anything. While I loved his other novels I had a hard time reading them due to...

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
This quote, if you don’t already know, is the origin of the title of the new John Green Novel The Fault in Our Stars. John said at the Tour De Nerdfighting that sometimes fate is unfairly dispersed and there is some fault in our stars. I was raised in a house where you weren’t...

The Fault in Our Stars reaction (sans spoilers)
Hi readers. I’ve decided to write a casual review, or more so reaction to John Green’s new book. You may have heard about it, it’s called The Fault in Our Stars, it stars a girl and a boy named Hazel and Augustus. The hype for this book was… outstanding, and I must say the book was pretty amazing, but it is not my favorite John Green book.
By the end (no spoilers), I was...
Week 4: TFiOS Break Week
Hello, readers! As you may have noticed, this week we’ll be taking a break in anticipation for the release of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars and the NYC event tomorrow. (And if you are somehow here yet not a Nerdfighter, why not check out vlogbrothers and see what all the fuss is about.)
Another announcement is that both Brandon and I failed to post stories last week, so we will...

An Excerpt From My WIP
Miranda crossed her sneakers and swung her legs forward, as if she were on a swing instead of a set of bleachers in the darkness, our only sources of illumination being the orangey glow of the streetlights that surrounded the elementary school.
“You don’t understand,” she said finally.
Her voice startled me, since she hadn’t spoken at all after she told me to meet her here,...
"Ahhhhhh" is the best I can come up with right...
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” “What! What’s wrong?” Brian ran into the computer room hearing his longtime girlfriend scream. Seeing she was sitting in front of the computer he jut sighed before taking a step closer to her. He had a feeling he knew what was coming. “Babe, do I want to ask?” “I’m in love.” She staring at the screen trying to contain herself from getting all giddy. “Thanks. I...

a very prose-y short story: That Summer
Everyone has a summer romance at some point in their lives. Whether or not it’s actually in summer doesn’t really matter. It’s that short lived, bright, intense love. Like a shooting star. It comes, up your life, and then leaves. But what if that summer love never happened. I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like if mine never happened, but this is me...

What's In A Name (free write)
Fossil McGuire was a man, but his father didn’t think so. At the very least his father could have had a better hand in naming Fossil, but he “wasn’t around”, as Patricia told him many a time in his younger years.
“You’re slow like the dinosaur you used to be, Fossil!” The children were mean, still were. Fossil, you see, works in a shop, which is one of the many reasons why his father...

Week 3: Wrap-up and Prompt
Hey guys, Brandon here! For this weeks prompt we will writing about changing an event in our past and how it would effect us now a la butterfly effect. Thanks Charlotte for submitting this prompt idea :)
Remember, you too can submit ideas for us to write about in our ask box!
-Brandon and the rest of Nerdfighter Writers
charliehasthoughts asked: O! another one. You HAVE to change one thing in your past, one decision. And whatever you change, the "butterfly" effect will be in play, and you have to think about all the moments in your life connected to that moment, and how it will effect them, discussing what could/would have happened. Would you change something small and try to keep the effect contained, or would you just throw...
