  1. I'm totally into ancient mysteries. I love this kind of stuff! And I have been to Tikal. It almost seems you wrote this story just for me *lol* I enjoyed it very much!
  2. It's strange, but I like it. There's something powerful about it.
  3. Surprise, surprise! I didn't expect so soon. Now I'm going to start reading.
  4. Under the SunXerxes, Great King of Persia:I am the Great King; my kingdom has comeMy kingdom stretches far under the sunIt stretches north, south, far east and westBut I'm not satisfied; I cannot restA counsellor:You'll need an army, men who go to warGive them a reason, a cause to fight forMake the men fight in the name of the LordInspire their hearts and they'll take up the swordA scholar:I know Greek lore and their myths inside outThey worship the devil, I have no doubtGod Zeus himself devised
  5. Xerxes, Great King of Persia, plans to conquer the Greek lands. A poem.
  6. I left work earlier that day because it was my mother's birthday. My mother had already switched on the TV when I arrived at her house. It was afternoon here in Germany. I gazed at the screen in shock. The first tower was burning. More guests arrived and we gathered in front of the TV, my mother's birthday forgotten. The second tower was hit. We watched peopled jumping down, we saw people dying. We saw it all live on TV. We didn't talk, we just kept watching for hours. It was a nightmare, a night of horror. I was certain that World War III had begun.
  7. Happy Birthday!
  8. Looking forward to the fall anthology. I also added a poem last week: The Picture Wheel.
  9. I wrote LOTR fan fiction many years ago, but usually made up my own characters. It was fun for a while, but I finally got bored and started writing original stories. I don't read and write fan fiction anymore and I would not really feel happy with people writing fan faction based on my work. I would not read these stories.
  10. I'd tour around and visit ancient places, Egypt, Sumer, Rome etc.
  11. Thank you, Stephen. I'm happy you like the poem.
  12. The Picture Wheelby Dolores Esteban I. Says the man who has grown old I have seen all under the sun But a wise man I have not become I've only learned that all is vain Unimportant, simple, plain What goes up, must come down What's out of sight again comes around One thing ends while the same thing begins All this is vanity, chasing after wind Every thought will be thought again And every word said by anoth
  13. The wheel of life. A poem in three parts.
  14. Oleander Leander cast him a smile before he left the room. Crius looked after him and fidgeted. His heart was beating fast, he bit his lip and put down the cup of wine that he was holding in his hand. He let out a sigh and rose to his feet and then stepped out on the patio and looked down at the Greek Sea. It was midsummer and the sun was ardent. Crius clenched his hands and realized that his palms were covered with sweat. Leander had almost casually touched his hand when he had served him t
  15. Sounds great. I have voted on the genre. I'll fill in the character bio when I know which kind of world we'll play in. I'd still like to play a bad guy, but not the main villain, and my character might develop and change over time.
  16. I once got a reveiw that basically said 'Your writing is bad and this shows you're a spoilt brat.' I didn't see the connection. I don't see it now. Such reviews are as useful as a hole in the head. If you want to be a better person, please, try something else.
  17. I would like to roleplay, but I'm not familiar with Space Pirates and I won't be around in September for ten days. So, well, I'm not sure I can participate. The adjective system doesn't appeal to me much, the point system neither, but I could live with the latter. I'd also prefer a historical setting. I could imagine I want to play a villain, not a bomb-throwing manic, but a character nice on the outside yet with bad intentions. His hidden malicious intent was caused by some traumatic experience in the past. Here lies his weakness. To make the play more interesting, the mods could give the players individual subgoals or subtasks that the others do not know of.
  18. Sorry for being late. Happy Birthday!

  20. Good idea. I'm planning to write a Genesis-like project during this year's NaNoWriMo. As you know, the word count is 50,000 words. I'm hoping to not make the story sound dull, but I might get stuck at 25,000 or so, who knows. A few thousand begats might make me a winner. Lol. Copy and paste...
  21. Zombie, I would like to read your story. My attempt: Artaban was a great king. He descended from a long line of great men. First was Sakan, he lived 82 years and fathered five sons: Emenel, Eded, Sinel, Hepham and Melen. Emenel lived 76 years and fathered three sons: Jaded, Esmal and Gamel. Jaded lived 91 years and fathered six sons: Kush, Hamael, Abel, Sagan, Tibel and Hamael. Kush lived 67 years and fathered four sons: Lomel, Rezer, Emeth and Simbel. Lomel lived 86 years and fathered five sons: Shim, Gomuth, Leth, Isher and Gethel. Shim lived 74 years and fathered three sons: Kebeth, Belin and Shesh. Kebeth founded the great city 564 years ago. He lived 77 years and fathered seven sons...
