THE PIE - I wrote this in about 20 minutes on the comptuer one night. I was supposed to be doing homwork, and as I was thinking about how to write my lab report, I wrote the words "one day I ate a piece of pie" and it went on from there. The story is of a guy, written in first person, who eats a piece of pie, but it begins to grow uncontrollably and nothing can stop it. Find out what happens to the pie and the people of earth in The Pie. (About 1.5 pages long). Rated G6 [For Some Violence].
Eye of the Alley - I wrote this during my trip to Montana recently. I really haven't named it, but his seems the one that fits best. It's a bit longer than "The Pie" and I think it's better too. It's very mysterious. A poor kid walks down the street, and notices something red shining in the alley. His curiosity bests him, and he finds it is a robotic monster. Who will save him from this monster's wrath? Find out in Eye of the Alley. (About 3 pages long) Rated G6 [For Some Violence and Frightful Scenes].
The Untitled Story of Arthur [PART ONE] [PART TWO] [PART THREE] [PART FOUR] [PART FIVE] [PART SIX] - This story is a little different than the others. I'm posting it in parts, the parts being what I consider as chapters (i know they're pretty short). The story really is untitled, but that title seems to me like it might actually work fairly well. It's the story of a kid who has become a nobody, and then things go astray when a nerd from school is killed. Arthur finds himself in a deadly game with a red-eyed assasin and fears that he is on his hit list. It's not completed, so I don't entirely know where it's going to go, but read anyway, The Untitled Story of Arthur.
Vicki - I wrote this in about an hour, I got the idea when I was at a gas station myself. It's pretty short and is supposed to expose the horror and swiftness of youthful death. You'll have to read it to find out what I'm talking about. So, (About 1.5 pages long) Rated G4 [For Some Mild Events].
Mores stories to come!
We encourage our fans to participate with our website, so we want to give you the oppourtunity to share the stories (however long) that you wrote! To see your storie on this page, simply send it to Guy R.P.G. Your story should be posted within the next week.*
*Any stories that are deemed unappropriate will not be posted. We allow the use of swear words but do not encourage them. Any stories containing the F-word more than three times will not be permitted. Any sexually biased stories will also not be permitted. Graphic violence is allowed. Stories posted by fans will also follow the rating system created by Guy R.P.G. If your story is not posted, you will be notified if possible.
Here's a comment so ya'll can comment about the stories. Please try to keep the box to comments or comments on comments only. Don't spam it up with personal crap and turn it into a shoutbox. Feel free to express your hatred to us if you really feel that way. There's also a shoutbox in case you do want to spam something up.
The stories will be rated by comprehension ability and maturity standards. The more difficult the words are to understand, the higher the rating. If the story includes harsh language, violence, etc., then the rating also raises.
The system works by grade levels, somewhat like Accelerated Reader. K means kindergarden level, G1 means first grader level, and so on until G12 High School Senior Level. If the rating goes above that, then we have level C. C means college or above. If the level is somewhere in between, then it is rated G#.#. For example, a story between sixth and seventh grade would be rated G6.5. There are no other numbers in the decimal place.
So here's the entire list: K, G1, G1.5, G2, G2.5, G3, G3.5, G4, G4.5, G5, G5.5, G6, G6.5, G7, G7.5, G8, G8.5, G9, G9.5, G10, G10.5, G11, G11.5, G12, G12-C*, GC.
For example, if someone wrote a story about a war with aliens and there were tons of guns and gore and profanities, then it would be rated G8, even if the words are simple enough for a kindergardener to understand. G8 would signify that the story is at an eigth grade level.
Ratings should also be followed by a brief reasoning, such as "instense graphical violence and some mild language" in brackets. Ex: G8 [For some violence, mild language, and mature concepts].
Violence means that there is fighting or abuse in the story. Graphic Violence is detailed violence, usually including blood and gore. Some Language is words like "crap" and "retard" or perhaps one profanity. Mild Language are any profanities besides the F-word. Harsh Language is the F-word included. Mature Concepts means things like relationships between men and women (not necessarily sexual). You could also say, if your story includes none of these, that is is rated high because of "Complex Grammar" meaning there are words not usually understandable by someone below this rating.
Remember, the ratings are only warnings, we do not have any control over what you read. Anything that you find offensive is not the fault of the A+/F- Network, and we cannot be held responsible. If you find a story that you think should be either removed or raised in level, please, send an email to Guy R.P.G. with a return address. You can also email us for opinions on the grading system what we could do to make it better. We care about your opinions.
*G12-C is not 12.5 because it is between highschool senior year and college, instead of G12 to G13.
