The Story of Pretty Louis
I got bored one night and had fun with Brad Pitt pictures. No, not that kind of fun.

Carry on Dancing
So it's not a story but an LJ roleplay, but I play a role and it's good, clean, snarky fun.

Sock Puppet Lestat's Day Out
I have a Lestat Sock Puppet -- just like Anne Rice! But instead of using him to abuse my readers through a published work, I took him out around town and took photos.
