  1. There are so many . . . . I couldn't decide upon one. It changes constantly. It is presently gothic rock. Q: Favourite piece of clothing?
  2. Thank you I have a truck load of world building done. Writing the actual prose is harder. The only thing complete is the 10k~ story "An Unseelie's Love" which is also posted on here.
  3. Love the witty banter and the sense of humour that runs through this story. I can't wait for more.
  4. To call it a crack, or a boom, or an explosion, sullied the power of it. The sound was indescribable, carrying with it the power of ancient magic and the fear of knowing what was coming. They had warned of it for weeks, the greatest magicians and the most ancient beings scrambling to slow it or escape it. It was the end of the world. I looked out over the ancient grey bridge to the College of Mages, watching as their sentinel spirits scurried inside the titanic doors. The doors began t
  5. Short pieces set in the world of The Fragmented. These aim to get me in the right headspace to write the series fully, and to tempt you with some imagery of the world that will be explored.
  6. Happy birthday to one of my favourite authors

    Chapter 53

    Awww. I really loved this character. It is so cute but it also really shows Silas' and Oliver's insecurities well, and builds them up as characters even more.
  8. This is an interesting point. I have in the past read a story, which was medieval fantasy. And suddenly the character was wearing boxer-briefs and it utterly shattered the immersion in the story (which was otherwise quite good) because I couldn't get my head around that error.
  9. It is lovely to see Fendral at long last. It has been building up to meeting the mysterious figure for so long.
  10. The problem I have is being an Australian raised by a Yorkshire mother. My slang is all over the place, as is my pronunciation and my spelling. I have many pieces from my mother, whose side of the family are nearly impossible to understand with their thick north yorkshire accents, and much from my father (whose family is Australian through and through). Add to the confusion of living in the island state of Tasmania, which has its own slang for things due to isolation from the mainland of Australia. A local town is called "Ouse". Everyone outside Tasmania pronounces that as Ou-se. We pronounce it the same as Ooze. It at times leads to people thinking I'm misspelling things when it is the usual local spelling for me, and rarely I confuse even locals with pieces of my mothers slang (having never visited England, I'm unsure if they're usual or just her families sayings). One that springs to mind is "He's gone pot herb" = He's gone crazy. @AK79 - Australia is a mess for hung vs hanged. Either is used quite regularly even in the media. Snuck is the most common form in Australia, though even local dictionaries say not to use it in formal usage, it inevitably ends up being used in such a way instead of Sneaked.
  11. I really liked Puppilull's response this week.
  12. I'd definitely like to participate, if that is okay.

    Chapter 52

    They're so cute together.
  14. Just to note, my story The Fragmented also randomly changed its tag to "child" and nothing else about a week back. I edited it and fixed tags and all is fine now. Just an odd glitch I guess.
  15. New Town, Australia.
  16. "Gary Sue" or "Marty Stu" are a few other options sometimes used for a male Mary Sue.
  17. Interestingly, an author I am a fan of posted a blog about how she wishes she could support Fanfiction, but cannot do anything but pretend it doesn't exist, as her lawyers have advised her that other authors have been sued by fanfiction writers when they claim their plotlines were stolen and used in the canon work. It is a sad state of affairs.

  19. Taroona, Australia.

    Chapter One

    Thanks Jeffrey. I am glad you liked it. If it helps to clarify, the gods were - Xewkan, Divine of Love (a genderless deity) - Xnixx, God of the Sea - Krujant, God of Nature Both Xnixx and Xewkan protected Lihai and Kutanga for different reasons.
  22. This scene is glorious, and a perfect example of the amazingness that is Chosen of Honorus (*fanboys*).
  23. “The Unseelie are free, the Seelie are proud, the Dragons are wise, the Humans are inventive. But the Merrow, oh the Merrow love with their whole souls. They love the sea, and only their mates do they love more than the water.” ~ Abran, Librarian of Fumasivia. The boy was beautiful and exotic. Kutanga had spied him in the market that morning as his master led them around the stalls, handing him packages. Kutanga hadn’t paid any heed to what the old man purchased as he usually did; on
