Welcome to StoryCorner, the oldest establishment of my GordeonBleu homepage. StoryCorner was originally a story exchange by e-mail thought up by my friend Brianna back in mid-1998, which I later turned into an online collection when I first created this homepage. This place contains stories mostly written by me. You'll see some of Brianna's older works, but most of her writings are at her homepage.

Stories In Progress These are stories in progress. It's pretty self-explanatory. There's no guarantee that I will continue all of these stories. I will try to return to at least some of these stories one day and attempt to complete them. Eternal Dusk - June 14, 2003 Number Six, No, Seven, No, Six, No, Seven - June 12, 2002 The Curse of the Diamond Star - June 3, 2002 Picturesque Pixie - July 29, 2001 The Last Element - June 22, 2001 The World Behind the Looking Glass - January 16, 2001 The World in Her Hands - December 10, 2000 Time Splitters - December 2, 2000 It's Me - November 21, 2000 Terror in the Night - September 22, 2000 The Chronicles of Time - April 19, 2000 PostWiz - January 29, 2000 Here is a section where I keep some short incomplete thoughts.

Stories of 2005
Cheesiness
by Gordon (September 16, 2005)
One midnight, I finally decided to break the hiatus.

Stories of 2003
My Turn To Dream
by Gordon (July 22, 2003)
This one's a bit awkward, even to me. I tried to form a plot around the image of a person, defeated, at the bus stop. Oblivious to the traffic blurring by.

Eternal Dusk
by Gordon (June 14, 2003)
Plotless imagery. Waves. Rocks. And a unicorn.

Nedimus
by Gordon (February 23, 2003)
I wrote this as an assignment for my short story elective class, and the requirements were that it include a birdcage and a clock.

Stories of 2002
Don’t Point That Thing At Me!
by Gordon (July 30, 2001, July 30, 2002 (starting with paragraph 4))
I started it, stopped, and finished it a year later. The concept introduced in the opening paragraphs had been in my head for a very long time. I think of the weirdest things in the bathroom.

Escape
by Gordon (July 13, 2002)
I think that I wrote this late at night. I can't remember.

Number Six, No, Seven, No, Six, No, Seven
by Gordon (June 12, 2002)
Look out. It's God. And he's throwing a fit.

The Curse of the Diamond Star
by Gordon (June 3, 2002)
Outer space. With an attitude.

Stories of 2001
Picturesque Pixie
by Gordon (July 29, 2001)
Someone's always watching.

The Last Element
by Gordon (June 22, 2001)
Some say the world will end in fire. Some say in ice. The fate of the world lies in the last element.

The World Behind the Looking Glass
by Gordon (January 16, 2001)
An enchanted world is only a mirror away.

The Accident
by Gordon (January 12, 2001)
I wrote two paragraphs of mere descriptions and built a story upon that. It's an attempt at horror.

Cheese-Coated Baloney-Spam Mix
by Gordon (June 7, 2001, July 31, 2001, August 1, 2001)
When I coined this phrase for the title, I had no intention on actually using it at all in this story. But later I found a use for it in the plot of the story. I started half of this story on June 7, 2001 and during my birthday, I was in a mood to write. I finished it July 31 and August 1, 2001.

Stories of 2000
The World in Her Hands
by Gordon (December 10, 2000)
I think I wrote this on a public computer while I was waiting in the Stevenson science foyer. I forgot to finish it after leaving the foyer, but I wrote enough to allow it to more or less stand on its own.

Time Splitters
by Gordon (December 2, 2000)
Frozen everyone else in time...except yourself! I don't remember where I wrote this, but I may have been experimenting with writing a story with a more developed female character. Apparently, I didn't get very far.

It's Me
by Gordon (November 21, 2000)
Bureaucracy! Roommate troubles may have influenced the mood on this one. I think I wrote this in my dorm room.

Terror in the Night
by Gordon (September 22, 2000)
My high school was in the middle of a dense forest, and I had to walk among the trees everyday at dusk. The dark tree silhouettes inspired me to write this one.

The Milk
by Gordon (August 6, 2000)
I wrote this one pretty quickly. I was typing it all out on a school computer after a ceramics summer activities class while waiting for the buses.

April, May, and June
by Gordon (July 12, 2000)
This was a spur of the moment thing. It's a modified version of "April, May, and June." I was really getting into rewriting my old One Namer stories. (This was also the last of The One Namer Chronicles, unless Brianna continued them elsewhere.)

The Virus
by Gordon (July 3, 2000, July 6, 2000)
This actually wasn't meant to be a story. I was just writing a little scene and after a few paragraphs, I liked it. So I finished it and turned it into a story.

Disappeared Day
by Gordon (May 26, 2000)
I call this the first of my "concept stories". I've actually turned one into a story. It doesn't really have much of a central plot, but then again, I can't really say that any of my other ones do either.

Stupidity
by Gordon (May 24, 2000)
I felt like writing an extremely sarcastic story that day. After three paragraphs, I decided that I would just turn it into a short story. I don't like the ending that much though. I kind of linked it to a historical event from the lack of any other ideas.

Little Red Furry Coat (version 2)
by Tommy and Gordon
This is the same story as above but with a different ending. See, Tommy and I contemplated the ending and finally decided to make a normal happy ending since this was for a Spanish project. In this version of the story, the ending is one of the ones I had in mind.

Little Red Furry Coat
by Tommy and Gordon
This is a story Tommy and I wrote for our Spanish short story project on May 8, 2000. We kind of got carried off and began writing a parody. This is what we came up with.

The Chronicles of Time
by Gordon
I began this near the end of April 2000. It was one of my more serious kinds of writing. But after several pages, I began to develop a writer's block. I attempted to continue again in mid-May, but I still only like the beginning paragraphs.

Phuc Yu (modified)
by Gordon
I rewrote "Phuc Yu" on April 23, 2000. I was trying to eliminate the repetition I caused in the One Namer Chronicles by rewriting one of the stories. I chose this one.

Was It the Banana?
by Gordon Mei (credit to Karen Mei also)
This is a story started in mid-April when my family was on vacation in East Asia. My sister Karen and I were playing the story add-on game. You see, when I was younger I created the add-on games - picture add-on game, line by line add-on game, and story add-on game. Anyway, we never got past three paragraphs. But I liked how my sister had started the story, so in late April and late May I finished the story and added some more detail to it.

The Dinosaur Story
by Gordon
I wrote this story in March 2000, in the beginning of the month, as I recall. I was supposed to be writing an essay, but I kind of drifted off and wrote this. Then in the middle of the month, I decided just to finish it so I could post something at TYWC.

How The Holstein Cow Got Its Spots
by Gordon
February 2000. I was in the school computer lab when I wrote this. It's just another one of those spur of the moment things. It's the shortest thing I've ever written, I think.

PostWiz
by Gordon
January 29, 2000. I wrote this around the time that I was spending time doing backstage work on our Dhahran School musical, The Wiz.

Stories of 1999
The Viscous Cap
by Gordon
It was December 1999 when I first heard about TYWC (The Young Writer's Club), and I wanted to write something as quickly as possible to post something at TYWC. When I completed at the end of December, I noticed it was a bit rushed. Oops.

The Three Dumb Pigs (Revised Ending)
by Gordon
This was a skit I wrote in the 6th grade (1996-7) when we were doing our first puppet shows. I was unusually bossy and dominated the group which is why I ended up writing the whole script on my own. In November 1999, I found the orginial script and I liked the idea. So I edited out some parts that didn't fit, thus making a revision.

Moo
by Gordon
By the time I wrote this, I began to realize that I was unwittingly making each story repetitive of "The Unfortunate One Namer." Note: Changes were made to this story on August 9, 2000.)

April, May, and June (old)
by Gordon
I wrote this in the May 1999. I made some small modifications in the dialogue on August 3, 2000, but the latest revision is what I've decided to keep as the official April, May, and June story. That can be found under the year 2000 section.

Twice Upon a Time
by Brianna Lee and Gordon
This was a story begun by Brianna Lee. She sent it to me by e-mail in May 1999, and it was unfinished so I finished it and then I posted it here.

Phuc Yu
by Gordon
Inspired by the One Namer Chronicles stories by Brianna, I continued writing my own. I was on a vacation in April 1999 when I wrote this.

Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How
by Gordon
This is one of my own One Namer Chronicles stories, which I wrote when I was on a vacation in April 1999. I had lots of free time.

Stories of 1998
The Halloween Mystery
by Gordon
I wrote this story in October 1998 soon after "The Mystery of the Weird Boy." It was Halloween and I felt like writing so I typed this up in fifteen minutes or so. This is pretty short and could be expanded on but I never really took the time to do this.

The Mystery of the Weird Boy
by Brianna and Gordon
This was the first story in StoryCorner. Brianna e-mailed it to me in October 1998 and called this sending of stories "StoryCorner." It was not finished and it was untitled, so I finished it and titled it. In the winter of 1998, I published it online, thus beginning StoryCorner.

The Unfortunate One Namer
by Brianna and Gordon
This was also one of the One Namer Chronicles written by Brianna Lee in the 7th grade. Bri shared it with me in the summer of 1998. It wasn't finished yet and it was untitled, so I helped finish the story and title it.

Walrus
by Brianna *
This story was written by Brianna Lee on June 20, 1998. Sophia came over to her house and they went to a website where they had to make up a story involving a squirrel, a marshmallow and a submarine. I could also say that this one influenced my writing too. I've never really bothered to take these two works, that do not involve me in the writing of it, down because...just because.

Duck, Suzi, and Cow
by Brianna *
This was another One Namer Chronicles story written by Brianna Lee. She wrote it in 7th grade while she was writing a letter to Sophia. It just popped into her head. It was the first of the One Namer Chronicles. The reason why I'm posting this one up, even though it's not by me, is because it influenced my writing later on, believe it or not.

* Denotes Story Entirely by Brianna Lee
