The old adage goes,

If an author had more than a story, he owns a library

So, I decided to fix up a litlle library of my own. To match with my username, it's dubbed '<daydreamer>'s Haven'.

So have fun reading!

Epics

There's a challenge when it comes to writing epics: One has to incorporate the length, the emotions and depth, the characters and their development, the action and the plot. I started out Bionicle fanfiction this way, and it still continues to attract me as a writing medium.

Changing Worlds (My second epic) A teen girl gets warped to the world which she never thought existed

Short Stories
Short stories were never very popular at first, but rose in numbers soon enough, due to the lack of some challenges that epics possess. Here is a collection of what I have contributed in this different medium of writing.

Escape from Mangai (My first shot at short-stories) Tahu and Kopaka are fighting again but watch out!

Home is here My entry at the EpicFest. If it doesn't win, it's still an addition to the EpicFest Collection.

The Toah and Mabel BLOOPERS!! When you think it's all drama and stuff, see the funny story behind the scenes!

.~Recommended Stories~.
There are so many writers around here that I'm sure that this part of the topic will be edited many times. Anyways, here is my pick for some of the best stories around.

Janus' Story Lair
Janus said: Come in and be scarred.
I was scarred... with amazement and awe. It's awesome work budding authors should read and learn from. I recommend it.

Korobound's Stories
Here is a must-see. A talented authoress with (I must say) more prowness than me!
Suggested Story: New World

Hahli Husky's Stories
My gal pal Hahli Husky will amuse you with her wonderfully written works.
Suggested Story: Vakama's Story

T-Hybrid
An old member she is, she has some great stories under her belt that are really great!
Suggested Story: Te Mutunga Series

Schizo Revolution
This ex-moderator has been writing stories that are as good as his reputation as a peace-keeper of this site.
Suggested Story: Tiki's Journey

GaliGee
Everyone knows that GG's epics is a chart-topper, in fact, top of the charts. So, I'll just put this in too and join the mad crowd of fans.
Suggested Story: I dunno, you choose!

Natha
This MOC master is also talented in writing! Come check out his story topic and see for yourself!
Suggested story: Spills of Darkness, from the saga Dreams of a Lost World !

From Boys To Men -Israeli Toa
Another ex-Moderator comes into the scene of writing with this wonderful story of cadets of the Guard in Ta-Koro...

Dreams and Riddles -Phoenix_Nuva
A fab story by my friend of the journey of 6 special Matoran... A sure must-read!

Splitting Of Two Worlds -Nova Nuhvok
I don't need to say much for this one, 'cos you would have heard of it already! But, in case you didn't, go read! A fab tale on how a halved scarab leads to the discovery of a very special Matoran...

Vashi
She writes fabulous stories! Go check them out!
Suggested Story: The Power Of Deception

A Different Way To See -Biohazard_Technologies
This story is not done yet, but it's really good, trust me!

The Gathering- Lewa of Le-Koro
This story is also not finished, but is a good story.

Shards of Darkness- Bohrok Kal of Death
This is a FANTASTIC story by an unnoticed master author. He gives a very detailed view of a Kraata's life, and some very amsuing chapters. MUST-READ!

A Light in the Shadows - BCii
Another budding talent like KB, he's written this fab tale of the famed Kolhii Match between Light and Shadow. It has been reviewed by many respected authors, and I tell you,
YOU MUST READ THIS!

Lewagirl78
She's had more writing experience than me! That makes her higher in authority than I. Sorry for not replying to your past epics or short stories! Hope that putting a link here helps solve that little problem.

Motago
A budding writer, and an excellent one too. Read his works!

Toa of Muffins
For the record, this guy doesn't sit around eating muffins. He writes INCREDIBLY DETAILED stories and I will always envy him for his ability in writing which far surpasses and excels more than me. The link below is, I believe, his best yet. Keep writing, ToM!
Quest for Lost Dreams

Phoenix Nuva
He may not be coming here anymore, or often at least, but his works are a real treat to read! I'm no longer the only Singaporean author (I had a doubt about this all the while and now here's real proof!) And his writing style is easy to enjoy.

Steely Visionary - Tuan Taureo
Tuan, you oughta get a library of your own set up! Her stories are lovely, depicting the scenes vividly with description and drama delivered with aplomb! Sounds bombastic, but her works are good! Only thing is that her stories are scattered all over the place!

Perception - STHX 1138
If you are going for something surreal, an inspiration starter or something random yet beautiful, this epic is the top of the icing and cake. It's fantabulous! Take in the description and vividness of the scenes and scenarios you're plunged into. See and understand the viewpoint of the unnamed character.



Hope you enjoy reading them!
