    2025 Anthology - Creature Feature - Guidelines

    By Valkyrie

    I'm super excited about this year's theme!  There are so many possibilities.... Do I go with a cute fluffy kitty?  Or maybe a fire-breathing dragon?  Or an army of Norse penguins fighting Canadian otters?   It's a good thing there's a lot of time before the deadline, although with my prowess at procrastinating, I probably won't start till the week it's due   The guidelines for this year's anthology are posted below.  So now that we know the theme and the parameters... start writing!

Today we're featuring an interview with Cynus as for the April CSR featuring his stories in his Rumours of War series. Did you check out one of his stories? What did you think? Enjoy this interview and then share your thoughts on his story and his writing. Cynus will be popping in today to talk, so have at it!   Are you a person who makes their bed in the morning, or do you not see much point? No. Definitely not. I don’t even sleep in a traditional bed. I lived in South Korea for nearly two ye

About Obama

I live in region where there is little love for Obama.   Some people tune in to a ton of FOX News or something to that effect, and their opinions are shaped by different information than the information I absorb from such sources as "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," MS-NBC, the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, NORML, the BBC, the New York Times, and a liberal education in English literature and upbringing as the son of two college professors.   Today I drank beer with a kind, gentle, g

Ingress Anyone?

So about a month ago, my husband started playing this google maps game called Ingress. If you don't know what it is, it is basically an overlay of google maps with things called Portals. There are two teams--the Green Enlightened group and the Blue Resistance group, of which you pick your side when you join. Then you 'hack' the portals and attack the portals from the other team to gain points (AP). The part I like about the game is that it gets me out walking to new and interesting places.

Iceland's Facebook War Over Sex Education

Iceland is one of the most progressive countries in the world when it comes to gay rights - but more conservative views are not unknown, and one prominent musician has started a social media storm by attacking a new sex education curriculum. Gylfi Aegisson was once one of Iceland's most well-liked musicians, known for his folk songs about sailors. But he's now attracted the ire of gay rights groups after criticising authorities in one small town who decided instruction about homosexuality would

My Beliefs On God And Religion

Recently, I was given a questionnaire by a student instructed to interview a homosexual. One of the questions was whether I was religious. I put down that I did not belong to a religion.   Do I believe in God? I have trouble with the semantics. I think we need to determine what is meant by the word before we go any farther. God means different things to different people, just as Lucifer does. Every divinity seems to fluctuate in popularity and reputation just like a soft drink brand. A lot dep

Without A Hitch

I should have known better. Really, I should of, but I didn't. I had faith that everything would be A-OK. We found a house, we put reservation money on it, we could afford it, we got the mortgage, we chose our options, they built my house (and my kitchen) just the way I wanted it.   And then the fuck-up happened.   Here I am, sitting in a land of boxes, with two plates and one saucepan in my stripped out kitchen, and instead of surviving like this for another day, we have to manage for anot

What matters to me and what matters to you?

Lots of stuff has changed in the last 4 months: I have left my old job and have moved to a new company. I am getting paid more working as a corporate accountant for an insurer, but I felt more drained and lost ever since I got this new job. I have done a lot in health care, a lot in finance, but there is something so mechanical and dehumanizing with the insurance industry. I don't know what it is, but I think I can understand why Brad Pitt started a Fight Club Revolution now   I have been sor

What a difference a year makes

It’s been almost a year since I posted a blog entry, but what a different place I find myself in now to where I was a year ago which was kinda dark and more than just a little bit scary. When I read those last few blog entries I can see how much I was retreating inside myself, letting negativity and self-doubt take over and keep me from doing the things I loved. I’d stepped away from martial arts, stepped away from writing, stepped away from almost every online community I belonged to and just s

20th Anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing

Today is the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, which is the largest domestic terrorist attack that has happened in the U.S. On April 19th, 1995, 168 people died when Timothy McVeigh parked a van in front of a federal building filled with explosives.

Boston Bomber

I'm tired of hearing about murderers in the news. I don't really think their trials are newsworthy. The latest headline concerned the Boston Bomber. Do victims' families want him executed? I guess some journalist took a poll.   You know what, who cares? My opinion on the Boston Bomber can be summarized in four words: Take Out The Garbage.   Human life is neither precious nor rare enough to nurse a mass-murderer all his days. There are millions in the world dying of various causes, disease, f

Boys and Sex

There has always been some inequality of the sexes - even tonight my son was teasing a teammate that he'd been beaten by a girl and I had to explain to him why that wasn't the way to tease. But, as was discussed in the recent Sanitaria Springs story, Asher, there exists a disconnect between boys and underage sex and girls - specifically when their partner is of legal age.   Firstly, sex in these circumstances is, in my opinion, wrong. It isn't an equal relationship, the adult has the power, th

Author Interview: Andy78

Andy78 is the featured Signature Author this week, and as always, we have a great interview where he can share just a little bit more about himself with site members. I decided to change up the questions, so we have a few new ones this time to go with some of my favorites. Andy actually said, "Thank god you didn't ask the what are you wearing question." Maybe if I had, Andy would've been sharing A LOT about himself.   Single people often have more time to write. Are you single? Nope. I’ve bee

Apology and Explination of recent events.

Hello Everyone,   As I mentioned in my last post I have been on a hiatus due to family issues and work issues. It saddens me to say that I am going to have to extend it.   In addition to working full time I am also a care giver to elderly grandmother. Unfortunatly her health has taken a further down turn and much of my free time hs devoted to her assisting my mother,( who is her primary caregiver), in taking care of her. I won't go into too many details but she will be having major surgery
