Stories |
Here is a list of stories. I've written some, and others have been written by my sister and my cousin. There's no guarantee that you'll like them.
Paper Mario stories
I like writing these stories based off of chapters in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They're based on the characters, themes, and events that occur in the video game, but with interesting and sometimes surprising plot twists. Also, there's no over-encompassing story arc here; each story can stand on its own. Some of these, admittedly, are better than others. My favorites are the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ones. The rest were created just to complete the collection. You might need to have some knowledge about the game and characters for these stories to be any fun; they contain spoilers that may ruin the video game for you if you haven't played it.
