I
Hate
You.
The love you suck from me
The adoration that bleeds for you
The need for the smiles and tears
It festers and rots me
All hollow now
I lack my own definition
You stole that.
Happy Valentine's Day for Project: Shadow
Chapter 11
To the pressure, everything's just like
An illusion, I'll be losing you
Before long
Rouge went to her house accompanied by Knuckles. She hated the idea of looking weak, but the truth was she was genuinely frightened that Shadow might do something horrible. She knew he had that capability, that he could calculate and hurt deeply, or even burst into a fit of violent rage when pushed too far; and while she had thought it was impossible for him to turn on her in the same manner, now she was unsure.
She slowly unlocked the door and opened it onto a dark hallway. It was

Chapter 10
I believe my future, farewell to the shadow,
It was my place to live, but now I need your hand
Lead me out with your light, I have breathed in
The disgusting air of darkness, but I never lose out
Christmas Day, and Shadow was having Well, he was content enough. Fun was a stretch, he was too uncomfortable around all these people when not in a threatening situation.
The day had passed normally enough, despite what day it was. Shadow had given Rouge a gift of viewing an ice-skating show (it had seemed like a good idea) and from what he could tell she had enjoyed it. So
I am nothing but a robot
a machine
Devices are made to maximise potential, to accomplish goals

What is an automation that cannot achieve its set goals,

Broken.
A broken mechanism is only an incomplete gadget, it is
inefficient.
A faulted contraption. It is only
useless

It can never succeed. Never be satisfied.

Chapter 9
You see a light wherever you go
You have to face it again and again
And again
And again
Rouge skittered down the alleyway and pelted through it, arriving at the street on the other side. She took to the skies and landed on top of a building, looking back from where she had come. No sign of pursuit. She breathed in relief.
Rouge had not been in any particular danger, she was simply making sure she hadn't been seen. Another break in at another supplier company (this time gas and electricity) and while this event was no more interesting or exciting as the la

She laughs, and grinning in return,
I told her my prior ex's faults,
the whining minutiae that was
pointless; as we laugh I falter,
my smile does fade as fond recall
shifts within my eyes. What was her
smile? Her smell? The way she looked at
me sent small shivers of need through.
She was far stronger than I am.
And here I am, faltering at
her memory. I cling with pure
need to remember her 'whining
minutiae'. As we laugh, an epiphany.
I'm terrified; I'm beginning to forget her.

Chapter 8
Oh dark, the darkness that dozes in the dusk,
Throw it all away
Evening was here and Rouge had long abandoned her laptop. She hated the damn thing. That laptop meant hours of reading that was so, so, SO boring. She wished death upon that laptop.
In her room she now viewed herself in the mirror, creasing out a wrinkle in the dress she was wearing- a dark purple satin halter dress that had a slit going up to her right thigh. The hem was bordered with silver to compliment her fur and it worked quite well. She wore plain white gloves, similar to her regular ones but lacking the pink

Chapter 7
No one can break you, nobody can tear you
You'll live an endless life forever
Rouge was flicking through a clothing magazine when Shadow came down the stairs. She had already contacted Grace and sent further data through, and she had been advised that she should refrain from visiting any more companies for a good week. Instead, Grace had given her half of the data to sift though to see if they could find any clues. This annoyed Rouge as she reasoned that it was her risking her butt to get the data, the least Grace could do was find something useful in it by herself, but in t

Been quiet for a LONG time. I think I need to make more of an effort here to participate in this online community, there's some great stuff and great people here.
I'll return at some point, I'm not dead!
P.S Thanks for the birthday wishes guys, been a while since I've looked on here!
I've spent most of my time working on anatomy rather than producing anything. Does anyone know any good books on drawing human figures and their anatomy I could get?
What the title says; what is it you like in stories? What kind of stories keep your attention? What kind of characters do you like? What do you like to see in their relationships? What do you find fascinating to explore via narrative?
I know it's a matter of taste, but you'll be surprised to find how many taste's correlate. For example, nearly everybody wants an underdog to succeed over the alphas in a story, they want to see people that are attracted to each other become a couple etc.
So...What's you're fancy?
