As you can see, Taylor is so excited, he fell off his piano stool -- Ducks and Shoes is back! Maybe not bigger, but definitely doing okay. I've listed the best of the short stories, the new stories that were written while I was O/S, and the most-requested old ones. I don't know how permenent this whole situation will be, but it has to be said, I do miss this place. So, rainbow sprinkles all round and enjoy!
Want to print these stories? If you have Internet Explorer 5+, feel free to print straight from this page, for text will print in black. Failing that, copy and paste to your favourite word processor.
11/December/04: This is the first upload. There are still a stack of stories to come, such as more Stories from Sweden (I have a huge collection of notes that need typing), the most requested stories (did somebody say 'Sweet as Candy...?'), and more short stories (like 'Funky Apple Juice'), so stay tuned for that! Plus, of course, if there's a story of mine that you once read and isn't listed here, let me know. I'll see what I can do.
Peace, Love and Lemonade,

Time to set the butterflies free.
Autumn Night Sky

Fangirl and the Rockstar
There's nothing stopping me from loving music that cures loneliness.

So Far Gone (That You Live to Lose)
"... don't cry, the fight ain't over, unless you let it pass you by..."
So Like a Rose
"There's no going back... I wish you could stay here."
Underneath My Skin
Maybe it was a fine line between an obsession with someone and being consumed by someone, but at least I could still feel what was underneath my skin.

Taylor's not a hypochondriac, he's actually a prima-donna who learned everything he knew from his mummy.
