CHAPTER FOUR: Clashing Colors "This oversea man with Keerthar complexion is remarkably strong," declared a Citadel worker, clad in drab duty attire. The man, who was named Bohiddi, was no stronger than he had to be to sweep floors, weed the broad garden, and change bedding; a recovered...

Leave it to that jerk Pullman to claim that Susan was "cruelly turned away from the Stable." Pullman desperately _wanted_ Narnia to be toxic. But Susan simply wasn't >in< the Narnian world >to< have been present to be admitted or _not_ admitted through the Stable at the end of "Last Battle."...

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ For Geralyn, remotely assuming the role of Clara "Superhottie" Klint, it should be sufficient if we can say she remembers the Earth-variant called U-R-T-H, where she has served as a member of The Justified League. In this capacity, she saw the merits of...

Here, as promised to Geralyn Rodgers, is a backwards trail through the career of the well-established character Clara "Superhottie" Klint, cousin to Corky "Superdude" Klint. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ These two have a history similar to the super-cousins in comic books. Their single most obvious...

This very evening, I saw the arrival of an ACTUAL RUSSIAN GUY on the forum. His username translates as "Golden Impulse something." I hope he doesn't turn up his nose at my use of Russian heroes in stories.

Dobryy vyecher! (My computer has no setting for Cyrillic alphabet.) Are you >IN< Russia, or in America? I was a Russian linguist in the U.S. Navy. Starting there, and continuing after ya vwishel v'otstavku, I have been writing and drawing stories about Ilya Muromets. One of our leaders here...

Chuck Norris can force parallel lines to meet.

When Theocrites woke up, he was clean, and wearing clean clothes-- including trousers rather than a skirt or kilt. He could tell that, along the way, he had been helped to relieve himself. So much the better, having arrived wherever, that the provided bed had sheets: not something which even an...

__ __ __ __ Back on board the sailboat, Theocrites had more to tell to the eagerly-listening White Dolphin. "Until recently, Trantea had plurality of leadership. The eight Archons held hereditary rank, but at least we didn't let only one man decide everything alone. The best man to...

I just retrieved this because I'm pleased with it. I'm sorry we lost LifeMaiden, the once-reliable member who pinned this topic before she lost her way. There was a time when she told me she had feelings for me. Paths not taken. I just hope she made it into Aslan's Country. I, meanwhile, am...

In case any regulars _haven't_ gotten the memo, EveningStar is _back_ and has hit the ground running! Wood Nymph and I are cheerfully getting involved with a revival of the Byron-on-Wells premise.

You have my true appreciation for contributing to my efforts to cheer up my genuinely beloved Geralyn.

Nonetheless, for this fanboy, the presence of mega-hottie Traci Lords compensates for any flaws in HER Barsoom film.

Thinking back to the live action LWW: the gallant centaur Oreius was the best non-book character ever seen in the movies.

For those who have only read the Chronicles and not the Space Trilogy, "H'NAU" is Malacandran {Martian} for "sapient beings."

MASTER BADGER GOT AHEAD OF ME! HE SHOWED FREE VERSE DONE >>WELL!<< NOW I'LL SHOW YOU THE AMATEURISH TYPE: Drops are dripping. Drips are dropping. \\ WATER IS WET! Wet, wet, moist, soaking, cold, yuck, ugh. \\ Did I hear a splash? Maybe I did; or did the splash hear me? \\ I want my...

I'm still here, and hope _you're_ back long term. I've heard of the novel "Castle of Otranto."

We interrupt this collection of love-motivated sonnets for a haiku, _also_ motivated by love of Geralyn Rodgers. If you're not familiar with Japanese haiku, all you need to know is their one requirement: SYLLABLES, 5-7-5. I'm reminding God: I buried two wives before. Please let Geri...

Fourth Sonnet for Geralyn will try a whole new rhyme scheme; try to keep up. I spoke to her today by mobile phone. Hope also spoke with her, exchanging news. We heard about the chemo she infused; I promised I would help her fight the blues. She tried to keep distress out of her tone...

THE METER OF A SONNET FORBIDS TWO ACCENTED SYLLABLES FROM BEING NEXT TO EACH OTHER. IF YOU SAY MY DISTANT SWEETHEART'S FULL NAME, YOU'LL NOTICE THE RHYTHM DA-DA-DUM, DA-DUM. SO I'LL PLAY A TRICK WITH HER NAME. ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' My...
