#1 The Ghostgirl
Indicators: [D][T][P]
Rating: Fantasy, 9+ (offical rating)
Dutch Title: Het Geestenmeisje
Translation piece: The kiss (old translation)
Page: My Book (intern link)
Information: The first, pretty long story I finished. In March 2004, the last words of this story were written, and it'd be my debute as a writer - in May 2005 it was published as a book.
The story is about a young girl, Esm�e, who meets another girl on the graveyard when she's wandering around. This new girl, Marja, tells her she's a ghost and that she's been looking for her task for almost 200 years now. Fulfilling this task means freedom for Marja, because then she can finally go to the Underworld for reincarnation. Esm�e decides to help her, and that's the start of a lot of extraordinary events.
#2 The Fled Soul
Indicators: [E][F][L]
Rating: Mystery, 13+
Place to read: at Fanfiction.net
Information: this is a fanfiction about xxxHOLiC, the manga by the popular group CLAMP. This is more or less a side story and isn't plot-related to the actual story. It's wise to read up to volume 5 to get what Y�ko's saying about wings, but if you know the main story of xxxHOLiC, it should be enough to understand it.
A young girl pays Y�ko and Watanuki a visit. She seems a normal girl at first, despite of her extreme shyness to show herself. But then, she reveals she is a so-called 'Fled Soul'... As the girl runs away, Y�ko demands that Watanuki follows her to discover her secret before it's too late.
#3 Don't Love Me
Indicators: [E][F][L]
Rating: Romance/Sci-Fi, 13+
Place to read: at Fanfiction.net
Information: this is also a fanfiction, also about one of CLAMP's works. This time, it's Chobits. A bit of knowledge is required to understand it completely. But if you know what persocoms are, that should be enough for you to understand the story.
Riko Akarino visits the new restaurant owned by his friend Hideto. He's got some persocoms working over there, thirteen in total, all called after numbers. Number Thirteen however calls Riko's attention, and he's quite attracted to her at first sight. But there seems to be more going on than just an attraction at first sight and persocoms ranked as numbers...
#4 Short Story: I Love You
Indicators: [T][L]
Rating: Horror, 13+
Place to read: at DeviantART, Dutch version at LiveJournal
Information: Officially, I made a bet with myself to write a story with just 500 words, because there was a small competition going on at a company. They'd give away prizes to people who'd written the best spy stories in 500 words or less. I didn't believe it was possible to write an exiting story in 500 words, so I tried a horror story and... it reached over 2100 words. Ahem. I originally wrote it in Dutch, but I immediately translated it into English, so you can read it if you want to.
A young couple, barely engaged, decides to spend a week together in the middle of nowhere to prove their love to each other. The valley where they're staying, however, is notorious as it would be the home to some horrifying creatures...
#5 Mizumi's Diary
Indicators: [D][T][L]
Rating: Comedy/Romance, 13+
Dutch Title: Mizumi's Dagboek
Fragments: Friday April 22 and Saturday April 23, Thursday April 28 until Tuesday May 3, Wednesday May 4 until Monday May 9, Tuesday May 10 and Wednesday May 11 until Wednesday May 18
Information: This is the longest story I've ever finished - almost a hundred sheets in Word! I started it as a reaction at the Georgia Nicholson series, but I only (more or less) borrowed the way she writes, like the date-notation. Therefore, it's not a fanfiction.
Mizumi Gintori is a sixteen years old, hyperactive girl with an ordinary life. She goes to school, writes in her diary at least fifty times a day and goes out to dance every Friday night... And then she meets Riko Akarino. Even though she's never cared for boys at all until that moment, Riko turns her world upside down. But in a good way.
#6 D�j� Vu
Indicators: [D][L]
Rating: Drama/Romance, 13+
Dutch Title: D�j� Vu
Place to Read: Archive at LiveJournal
Information: It's an all-Dutch story, which I started a long time ago as one of the many Riko/Mizumi romantic little stories I've written. I'm kinda attached to this story - most of my stories are about action, but this one has a focus on feelings as well. Oh, the title is a French expression you might know: 'already seen'. You'll understand the title if you read the entire story...
Seventeen years old Riko Akarino meets sixteen years old Mizumi Gintori, and it is the classic love at first sight. What starts as puppy love ends in a marriage, and they're quickly blissed with a pair of twins. But then, Mizumi gets ill. It seems nothing at first sight, but that sight changes quickly as she starts to cough up blood...
#7 Carl and Kylie
Indicators: [D]
Rating: Drama/Romance, 13+
Dutch Title: Carl en Kylie
Information: Another one of my dramatic love stories. I've had a period in which I only wrote that kind of stuff, and this is one of the (Dutch) stories that came out of it. I still have to type the story, but in general, it's finished.
Carl and Kylie meet each other at Kylie's 18th birthday party, and only two weeks later, they already know they're a perfect couple together. It's no wonder they soon decide to get married, and they go to Rome for their honeymoon. When they return as a happy couple, however, the plane gets in a storm and crashes...
#8 Accidental Happiness
Indicators: [D][L]
Rating: Romance, 13+
Dutch Title: Toevallig Geluk
Place to Read: at LiveJournal
Information: I've had this idea for a long while, and I finally got myself to work it out in a story. It ended in a pretty short story, if you are used to my kind of stories - this one is only 5 sheets short.
Asayo has always dreamed of true love and marrying her prince on the white horse - but on her sixteenth birthday, she finds out her father married her off to an older, wealthy man, in order for her to have a happy life without too little money. Furious as she is about the fact she can't choose her own husband, she runs away and spends the night in a cottage. The next day, she discovers a young man has also spent the night there, and as she talks to this Isato, she discovers they have a lot in common - like their fates of being married off.
#9 Kiss of Death
Indicators: [E][L]
Rating: Drama/Romance/Mystery, 13+
Place to Read: at LiveJournal
Information: I was inspired to write this after watching an episode of 'Ghost Hunters' at Discovery Science. It was about a boy becoming friends with a death boy, and I decided to take that concept with me in a new story. So here it is - I present 'Kiss of Death' to you!
Ten years old Kazuo Nakamura dies in an accident when he tries to warn his father. 250 years later, a young girl named Kotori Shimizu visits his grave. They soon become friends, but there's a threat called 'the kiss of life' on them...
#10 Choice

Rating: Drama/Romance, 13+
Place to Read: at LiveJournal
Information: I have no idea how I got the idea to write this story. It just passed my mind, I wrote down a short synopis and worked it out eventually. So here it is, 'Choice'!
Poor Amy meets bold Nick at her father's work, and falls in love with him. But unfortunately, her father finds out and tells her something shocking: she's about to marry a complete stranger, a certain Sir Richard. Amy is of course stubborn to marry him, but during their marriage, she discovers who he truly is.
Mizumi's Secret Diary
Indicators: [D]
Rating: Comedy/Romance, 13+
Dutch Title: Mizumi's Geheime Dagboek
Information: Mizumi's ordinary yet rare story continues! I wasn't completely satisfied with the first part, and thus, I decided to continue in a new diary.
Even though her friends demanded she'd stop writing her diary, Mizumi breaks her promise and writes her daily and not-so-daily experiences on paper again! This time, she's entered a whole new phase in her life since she's engaged to her Riko. But, not all days in life are happy, as Mizumi quickly finds out...
Like Water and Fire
Indicators: [E][F][L]
Rating: Drama/Romance, 13+
Links: On fanfiction.net.
Information: Lately, I've got a new obsession: Avatar, the Last Airbender. I really like it, and especially all the references to the Eastern world. I decided to write a fanfiction about it, starring my all-famous Mizumi and Rikoh (as his name will be spelled).
Mizumi lives in the Northern Water Tribe, is almost a qualified Healer and is about to turn sixteen. Then, the Fire Nation attacks her Tribe - and attacks one of their own. Mizumi can't believe they'd attack someone who's willing to fight with them, and thus, she saves this firebender and Heals him. Rikoh, as his name is, has indeed been forced to join the army and isn't happy at all about the war going on. He'd be happier to stay with Mizumi - but how can he, with the war dividing their people and the Tribe's customs to have the parents choose the partners for their daughters?
