Dancing in the basement silently, I wonder if they can hear the echoes up above. My feet pounding in beat with their blood and the music in my mind of the most sublime beauty. If they hear me do they wonder about my identity, or do they even...

I notice while browsing through old books in the store that in the past, say before 1990 it seems to have been common, perhaps even standard to write your name and the date or year you got the book. More curiously perhaps it seems to have been...
The Foregone Conclusion was, technically, part of human-controlled space. Though the formal boundaries of the Human Domain were blurred, subjective and always changing, the ship was well beyond the outermost worlds that any reasonable person would...
That's one odd titke, AG. Where'd it come from?
Here's a short story I found on my hard drive, one I'd written a year or so ago. Tourist Trap Tourist Trap The signal echoed throughout Dyrinian controlled space. Come to Earth, it said. Visit a beautiful, unspoiled landscape. Observe the...

Over in this thread vison made a great suggestion that I thought might be missed by those not following that thread: I wonder if I might make a suggestion? A little group I belong to, we set ourselves a challenge now and again. We pick a "topic"....
There was a wicked old tavern just off the waterfront in Port Royal - mind, it could have been most anywhere in any of half a hundred islands not so very far different one from another, for let the law do what it might in those days, even the King...

I was bored today so decided to paint a picture in the shop window for Christmas. It came out pretty decent if I may say so myself, it took hours though, maybe 3 from start to finish. It was a lot of fun though.
I write fiction only nowadays, but I used to write poetry in high school and college. Most of it is not fit for human consumption, but there are some pieces I still like. I'd love to hear what people who don't know me think about them, since the...
This will be shorter than my lyrics thread. ---------------------------- Too Proud, Too Numb Across a landscape, created by dreams Dizzy with colour and weak at the seams A patchwork of fantasies, tattered and torn And each little...

We did this once before and I was hoping to do it again. Your goal is between 100-200 words, but nobody will be counting so if you go a little bit over don't worry about it too much. Once a week we'll have a new prompt to start off with. You can...
A Wilki Jhanden Adventure Up until that moment, it had been a disappointing week for the Mayor of Siceltown. His thinning hair and pasty skin had not improved under the stress of a gamble that was far from paying off. It had taken every ounce of...

I am writing a character who is sort of a sociopath, but he isn't. He's a sociopath in that he doesn't feel guilty for what he does. He is unburdened by second-guessing himself. But at the same time, he's not unsympathetic to those around him, he...
It was early evening as the crowd gathered round the gallows, while being held back at a respectable distance by a set of guards in the local count's livery. Pikes were jabbed out and sharp orders given to the soldiers as the onlookers were waiting...
