The streaming series "Rings of Power" spat in Mister Tolkien's face by changing the elegant and virtuous Galadriel into an abrasive misandrist, who wants to humiliate males because diversity and girl power and modern audiences and Handmaid's Tale and fight the patriarchy. Today's entertainment...

Tribute band covers a Metallica favorite.

\\\\\\\ In spite of treachery by my TRAITOR computer, I will REMEMBER what it erased...... such as likening Jacob to Batman, in that both heroes achieve plenty despite having no metahuman abilities. Humans don't like plasma weapons filling the air with charged particles, while bullets have no...

Yeah, nothing General Arnold did was motivated by anything better than prideful ambition. He wanted to be famous and important. Years ago, in Connecticut, my family and I watched a re-enactment of the battle at whose end Benedict Arnold massacred defenseless American prisoners. In the...

\\\\\\\ Time to get Zubdookree and Lodratrid back into the action. I'm pretty sure that I last left these two non-human Fuss-wielding ladies on Planet Bigspoke, one of the United Civilizations' most successfully-held planets. The biggest single reason for Bigspoke's relative invulnerability is...

\\\\\\ "Mister Hughes," came the synthesized voice in fluent English from a top-quality Bonkalub-designed voice translator, "I have a question festering in my mind. On one hand, artificial intelligences designed by my people are not so genuinely sentient as yours; but they don't become...

\\\\\\ Y'know what? It's past time we returned to the "Heyho" subplot. I think you've seen me refer to a Congregation attack on Earth which was not entirely successful; but you haven't seen me recently mentioning HOW humans avoided being wiped out. It had utterly slipped my mind...

Not I; I just have no time.

Before there was a Dancing Lawn, I joined a still-older Narniocentric forum called The Valiant Mouse Inne. It invited fan fiction, so I wrote a fanfic which took place halfway through the ice-age regime of Jadis. This addressed the question of how Narnians could have any food when they had no...

Hope (a.k.a. Wood Nymph) and I would appreciate your praying for a young Coloradan man who is far less able to bear his troubles bravely than you are to bear yours. I met Mike Ryan at the Renaissance Festival in August. Getting his contact information there, I've had on-and-off communication...

Salutations, Mrs. Pevensie. Nursing, eh? In my real-world existence as Joseph Ravitts with a long A, my first wife was a nurse. (She now resides in Aslan's Country.) Her first name being Mary, it was cool for our friends, in Christmas season, to be able to say, "Mary and Joseph just visited us!"

Where you said that heels "rescinded," I believe you meant to say "resounded."

In "Empty Grave," you're doing well at making a scene come alive, like when the uncle shows his habit of saying to "pay no mind." Now, start looking more closely at sentence construction. AVOID split infinitives; "to politely bow" should be "to bow politely."

The above-mentioned local authorities had been joined by a Banjolorian family of the helmets-not-required faction. Colbirk Rezgo, a widowed father who had been in on the defense against Lord Maltibalkrix's invasion, was joined by his warrior-trained daughters. Varilu, the elder daughter, was...

Tridmorth, a Powurkordean city not mentioned before in the Never-Stopping Story, was located in the cooler-temperate southern latitudes. Its society was pretty much like real-world Wisconsin, if you add a few robots, jet packs, rayguns, aircars, and visiting Goldarns from the Babylon Five-based...

Among all residents of Powurkord, more had gone on interstellar voyages into Republic space than on rocket-driven space trips within their system. And since the Spacer Swimmers and other otherworldly heroes had thwarted the invasion by Quark-Lord Maltibalkrix, Powurkordeans had become still more...

Notice: if I have goofed up anyplace and said that Jackalbyte and Headless Lizzie are at liberty and present on Powurkord, please disregard it. They're not! I previously wrote that those two evildoers had been placed in the custody of the FORMER spoiled super-brat Antimerica Chutzpah, so she can...

Looking again at the Stars Wars-ish events, we bring back the mercenary Blastodon Kroof, Lackdough Caribbyan's friend. Blastodon had worked informally with the Imperial officer Shrinkdin Trush, whose daughter Siskeli had acquired Fuss talents. Now he was getting into capers with a new...

The four small oceans of Awkwardlisp had long been pure horror, full of monsters. In three of the four, Truthside had caused most of the monsters to be exterminated as painlessly as possible. Nine or ten specimens of each type had been relocated to the one "untreated" ocean, while populations of...
