RAW Music: Children of the Legacy

[sita-face.livejournal.com]

'Lo, there, everybody. My name's Ashleigh, and as you can probably tell, I'm new here.

I've been writing just for fun for quite a while, but I've recently started thinking about it a bit more seriously. I don't think I'd ever pursue it as a primary career, but I might like to do it on the side.

I've written a few plays here and there, but I've been working on a bunch of short stories in the same little universe since I was a sophomore in high school. I'm a college grad now, so it looks like they're not going anywhere for a while. The stories document the lives of a group of friends who form a band, hit it big, and have to learn to deal with that. They begin with two of the members meeting at the ripe, old age of six, and they continue until... well, they're well into their late thirties in my head now, and I'm not done yet, so I guess I'll just have to see when they stop.

I've been reading through some of the work on this comm, and a lot of it's really good. But what I like even more than that is the fact that you guys are honest and tough without being cruel or brutal.

Wow. It's like Ayn Rand wrote this intro. Anyway, here's the first of the stories. Hope you enjoy it, and I look forward to any crit you guys can give me.

Oh! And the band that eventually forms goes by the name of Rise At Will, which is where the title of the whole shebang comes from: RAW Music.

This was very odd for me to write. Most of the stories are in first person, told from Noah's point of view, with Max occasionally stepping in if he's otherwise incapacitated. But I figured he was a little young to tell this tale himself.

Anyway! Thanks for reading, and have a lovely night. :3
