    Miraculous Prompts

    By Valkyrie

    The saying "truth is stranger than fiction" exists for a reason - sometimes what happens in real life is so far outside the realm of possibility that if written in a piece of fiction, readers would doubt its veracity.  I recently experienced such a moment when a family member of mine had a medical episode that should, by all accounts, have left them dead.  It still boggles my mind when I think about it.  90% of people who have this condition die from it, with most of them not even making it to t

Beyond Thicker Than Water....

I know I started this blog as a means to give greater context into Thicker Than Water and my writing process, which hasn't been well received (oh well), so I thought I'd turn this more into a discussion forum instead.  The first thing I'd like to discuss is to quote a Chicago song, "Where do we go from here?" I'm not yet done with Thicker Than Water, as I know how the story will end but not quite there yet.  I will be continuing the adventures of the characters in the story over on Nifty in

Featured Story: Crossing The Moon

It may seem like just a week or two ago that we were reviewing a story, but it has been a month 😮 So why don't you all check out his story that @Timothy M. did a great review for?     Crossing the Moon by HinderToyBL aka Rambling Robin & Thirdly Reviewer: Timothy M.

Weekly Wrap Up (Mar. 31 - Apr. 6)

Hmmmmm, what to discuss today? Tell you what, let's leave it up to you!  Instead of me bringing something up to discuss, what do you want to discuss? In the olden days when people listened to the radio , talk shows would usually have a Friday Free For All. So let's do a Sunday Free For All.  Some rules. Nothing political, nothing overly sexual, so keep it PG  For your own personal safety, I would not discuss what evil  that Valkyrie and Krista have planned for me next . They may include you

A 'What Am I Doing and Why?' Rant (sort of)

Do you ever wonder what you're doing? Sometimes, I think that I don't think at all. I do things often without enough thought, and then there are consequences to deal with—not always huge ones, but still enough to make me wonder. Lately, I've been telling myself that I need to get up to write and set up a daily routine. I'd get up, but I found all kinds of excuses not to write anything at all.   Yesterday, I decided, for some health reasons, to make life more like a job now that I no lo

Monologues

Monologues Do you guys remember those old James Bond movies, or hell...even the new ones, where our hero has finally been captured and somehow strapped into some super convoluted contraption that is sure to bring about his very slow, very painful, demise? A laser aimed at his penis or whatever...hehehe, something that looks like it took longer to build and test than anything else that our villain had been working on in his dastardly plan to take over the world. You know the ones. Now, of cou

Of Pride and Power Chapter 28 is Live

Chapter 28 FYI, I'll be heading on vacation soon, so I might be a bit spotty for a few weeks in terms of posting new chapters. An homage to the Field of Cloth of Gold is what I consider this chapter to be, where we see a bit more of the sophistication that commercial applications of technology have brought into existence by this point. These are luxuries without modern manufacturing or shipping would only be possible for world leaders that had nation-level resources. Like the historic
