Written
Ramblings
My Stuff
This area
contains short stories, as well as writing and market resource information,
plus some sites tossed in just for inspiration. It's is far better organized
than my actual work area, but then you could probably already guess that.
While I'll soon be once again up to my ears in lab reports, fiction I write
purely for fun. That and my friends compliments keep my ego a healthy size.
I truly hope you enjoy what I've placed here, and if you can offer constructive
criticism, I'm more than willing to listen, er, read.
Miranda's
stories are an ongoing project, a series of short shorts that focus on
mood and atmosphere as well as the action. Actually, there was only supposed
to be the one story, but then I started getting threats from my friends
that there had better be more...
The
Aeterna is another project my mind has been toying with. I'm thinking
that perhaps one of these years, when I get around to writing that novel,
this might be the characters I use.
Ravenscar
is a shared world mailing list possessing some rather eccentric characters,
and I'm not referring to the story characters. It's a small mailing list
of dark fantasy and horror that grew off of the Vampires mailing list.
And you don't have to be a writer to join. Go on, check out the city. It's
perfectly safe. Just beware the vampires, ghosts, demons, and other assorted
denizens of the night... maybe you best visit in the daylight. Speaking
of ghosts, you can read one of my contributions to Ravenscar without ever
braving the dark city: "Divine Visions."
Seeds of Help and
Inspiration:
The
Virtual Reference Desk is a bit like having a librarian in your pocket.
Think of your local library's reference section.
Journal
of the Dark has an incredible web site. Links to some of the best vampire
sites around, including some excellent research sites. However, this site
isn't being updated any longer. Still good stuff though.
Gothic
Net, for the more adventurous. Actually, it's a fun, friendly site,
but don't tell them that. You might hurt their feelings. I particularly
liked the area of "Bad Gothic Poetry" complete with directions on how to
write and submit your own. There's also a cool selection of original fiction
from known writers.
Dark
Side of the Net has merged with Gothic.net.
