4 most worked mermaid spells

posted by mermaidgirl112

These are the top 4 mermaid spells that have been known to work, we did number one and got the side affects instantly.

(These side affects will occur for any spell you do)
Side affects:
Keeping legs crossed
Very itchy legs
Singing a lot
Rash on legs
Making un-normal sounds
Acting a bit out if the ordinary (goes on and off for about 6 hours)

Where it says the colors of blue and gold, that was just an example. You can choose your own colors and powers. (Ex. Freezing, heating, shaping)
Most girls that have done these have started getting tails (when wet) within 45 hours. The time...

My Name's Jon,And This Happened To Me When I Was On Holiday In Seville,In The South of Spain.

I was having a coffee in a bar when a man came up to me.He was quite smartly dressed,and he looked very respectable.'Do you speak English?'he asked.He definitely wasn't Spanish,but I'm not sure where he was from.'I'm very sorry to bother you,but I have a serious problem,'he continued.'I'm here on a business trip,and I've lost my briefcase-it had my passport,my wallet,my money,my credit cards,my mobile,my address book,everthing.Could you help me?I need to borrow 60 euros to get the train to Madrid-my...

That Girl - Poem

posted by Sephisis17

Another poem by me. This one came out kinda lame,but I'll let the rating be the judge (assuming there will be any).

That Girl

Have you seen that girl,
That goes around here and there?
Nobody knows where she’s going,
Is she even going somewhere?

Pretty face, pretty hair,
Nobody knows her name,
She seems sad, what a coincidence,
I’ve been feeling the same.

She seems lost,
Doesn’t even know where she’s from,
I’m a nice guy so I invite her,
To stay in my home.

She seats in the couch,
My, is she pretty?
I wonder what I can say,
To comfort that girl , so dreamy.

Sarah,
She tells me it’s her name,
She feels sad,
Funny,
Because I’ve been feeling the same

Fanpop Poetry Contest!

posted by Cinders

Hey there, everyone! It's the start of a brand new year, and I know we all have brand new ideas for our lives. That is why I want to open this year up with the first ever Fanpop poetry contest! It's basic and simple, because everyone can write poetry, and it's short which means everyone can read all of the submissions in a brief period of time, whereas stories may take longer. However, if you're a story-writer (I sympathize), never fear! If this contest goes well, I may sponsor a Fanpop Short Story Contest afterwards.

Established Rules
1) Any piece of poetry is accepted, so long as it is not...

The Mountain (Short story)

posted by mitchie19

In a town called Millrace, there were two Japanese teenagers named Keiko and Hideki. They’ve known each other their whole lives. They’ve been faithful, loyal and kept each others secrets. But they’ve never planned of falling in love.
When midnight came, Keiko left her Grandmother’s house to meet with Hideki in the mountains.
“Come on, Hideki! You’re slower than a turtle!” Keiko halfway joked while climbing the mountain with him. “Am not,” Hideki scoffed. “I can see the view already, we’re almost there!” Keiko added excitedly. When they reached the top of the mountain,...

Dimension-Jumper Ch 5

I find myself in a dungeon. I walk down the dungeon hall, looking into cells. I eventually come across a cell with a little boy.
"Hello sweetie. What are you doing in there?" I ask gently. He faces me and I see his eyes are empty, soulless, like he's dead inside.
"Mummy?" He asks with a British accent. He must be really far from home. "Are you my mummy?" he asks me innocently.
"No, sweetie. I don't know where your mummy is," I tell him.
"Mummy, mummy, mummy," he continues.
"Don't waste your time dearie. He never says anything else," the little man in the next cell tells me.
"Okay. And who are you...

Chinese cartoons and Western Cartoons

posted by ZekiYuro

In the West,cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh.The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained.Even though it is very funny,a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose.

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years.In wartime,for example,they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda.Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short,sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of...

How to write an article

posted by ZekiYuro

Writing and design have always been two passions of mine. When someone first approached me with a writing opportunity for their blog, I was shocked. It hadn’t crossed my mind for a moment that the two could be brought together harmoniously. I still remember writing that article and building my first brainstorm of topics. I found myself asking, "What makes a good article?"

But, to hell with good articles. Anyone can write a good article. I wanted something that would floor everyone–that would make everyone say, "Who the heck is this guy, and why haven’t I read his stuff before?"

I’m always...

Modern Day Princess Ch. 2

posted by para-scence

I slowly walked down the stairs in my pajamas, trying desperately not to make a sound. I peeked around the kitchen corner. Father was sitting at the kitchen table, sipping his coffee and reading the paper. I silently turned around, and tip-toed back to the stairs.

"Cosette," he said in a deep voice. I squeezed my eyes shut and cursed quietly. I turned back around, and shuffled my feet into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Daddy," I said, trying to make him forgive me for last night. Even though it wasn't my fault. "How'd you sleep last night?"

"Fine," he grumbled. "Don't think you can make me forget...

~ Beginning ~

Me and my best friend, Leo, both work at the same dumb pizza shop mostly every night of the week, we both get paid the same amount and work the same number of hours. The only difference – I do the deliveries.
I ride this crappy little flat-tyred around the neighbourhood – which, by the way, is so small I memorised it by the age of seven – delivering pizza after pizza. Sometimes I wonder how such a small town can order so many pizzas. I deliver about twenty each Thursday night… to the same houses. Still, they know me so well the tips are considerably higher.

Third part. Comment, fan, but above all... enjoy. :)

Recap

“Where am I going to take care of you then, Tye?” I ask, already worried for my new little brother. That’s how I thought of him anyway, a little brother! I’ve always wanted one.

“Not sure… Let’s pretend we’re orphans and walk around see if anyone has the heart to take us in.” He snickers. He really is my brother! I laugh then knuckle bump with him.

“Hey, I get a new name now, right? I’ve always liked the name Dean, can I be Dean?” I asked excitedly. I need to start acting like a guy, puh…

How To Cure Writer's Block!!!!

posted by breebree446

Hope I manage to get your juices flowing!

Let's face the facts. All writers get writer's block every now and then. That time when you writing and you just stop because you can't get any ideas. I write all the time, so I get Writer's block constantly. And news flash...it bites! But there are some things I do to overcome them. This is a little article to help all my fellow writers out there!

1. Take a Break!

Believe it or not, it helps to back away from the story for a little while. I mostly write at night when my parents are sleeping. When I get stuck, I sit in the recliner for a few minutes with my mp3 player and daydream. More often...

Young Demons; Chapter 2; The Hunters

posted by tayandkris4evr

I woke up feeling groggy. My eyes were swollen from crying, and my head felt like it'd been hit with a sledge hammer a couple of times. Niki's head was on my shoulder, his blonde hair was dry now, and his eyes were also swollen and pink.
I slowly put Niki's head on a soft trash bag then I scooted out from the hollow tree's cover. Standing there in the forest made me realize something. It made me realize that sometimes Death brings sadness and sometimes it brings a reason, a meaning, or a story. Niki said that he'd burned the tree... with his hands. But, I'm not sure if that's true at all....

Sequal to The Giver (chapter 1)

posted by Nayeli53

Jonas and Gabriel laughed as the ride ended. He could still hear something that he had never heard before. Perhaps it is what Giver called misuc, he though. Gabriel, who was smiling and chuckling with delight, was now quiet tilted his head in one direction as if he heard something. Then he yelled out, "Bird!"
Jonas, thinking that he meant that there was a plane near by, quickly picked up Gabriel and seeing that there was no where to hide, layed flat on the snow holding Gabriel tightly. He heard a cry, and looked up to see a white bird flying to the south. Instantly he remembered a time when...
