Heart of Darkness

The Mask and Mirror

A little bit of an update tonight with the first pages of The Mask and Mirror, which also coincides with the first text I put in the RP Stories part. Most of the story, save for its very last installment (that will be put online whenever I have time to go on with updating), took place in game between Demenzia and Lillemjau, and was put in third-person form on the forum a few days after the events it described happened.

Come to think of it… someday, I’ll also have to update the timeline.

End of a story

I’ve finally gathered my courage and finished updating Do Fixers Dream of Electric Ghosts? Now I can focus on the next installment. And on upgrading this site to the latest version of WordPress, while I’m at it.

Look, an update

Meh… This site was slowly going on one year without an update. It was high time I got my fingers out of my arse, and started adding more content again.

So, I added three pages to Do Fixers Dream of Electric Ghosts?… Somehow, I want to jump to putting other, shorter stories online, but on the other hand, doing it chronologically is more logical. Maybe this is my problem . Maybe I should just go with what strikes my fancy, instead of wanting to do things logically.

Well, we’ll see how it goes another day.

Do Fixers Dream…: A beginning of an update

Demenzia — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 22:10:37 +0000

Well, well. It has taken me some time to come back to reformatting my stories, but I’ve also been focusing on giving shape to my Anarchy Reloaded project, so this is not too surprising, I suppose.

Here’s a good chunk of Do Fixers Dream of Electric Ghosts?, a story mainly written by yours truly, but stemming from in-game events, and with posts/event participation from other players. I’ll never be able to thank Lillemjau, my fellow SPARTAns at that time, and all of those who helped me to give shape to that story during a period of very hectic RL. But, since I’m at it, thanks all the same, folks.

More will be put online later, but since it is a long story, it would be tedious for me to do it all at once… and for you to read it all at once, too. Nevertheless–enjoy!

Second story online

Here it is: Hiki-sakareshi mono is back online as well.

It’s going to take me quite some time before I weed through all the files; forum threads and timeline stuff, but I’m getting there. Slow and steady, and all that stuff.

An introduction

Demenzia — Sun, 13 May 2007 09:20:19 +0000

Well, well. Let’s see what we have here.

Since I’ve come back to AO in March of this year, I’ve realized that I still like my old AO stories, that I’d still like to be able to share them (I’m a writer, after all!), and that my old, old stories site was gone, destroyed by some kind of update or something.

So I decided to slap a quick WordPress install, find a template that I’d like and only need to tweak slightly, and start copy/pasting my stories from my old saved HTML pages and forum posts.

I haven’t had the time yet to put everything up, nor to thoroughly edit and correct my texts, although I’ve got rid of the most blatant mistakes I’ve found when performing said copy/paste operation. If my grammar & syntax teacher were ever to see them, he’d gouge my eyes out with his chalk sticks and make me eat my Rivière & Larreya manual page by page. After having sprayed strong pepper on them.

More is to come later on, but first I need to let off some steam. Finals are still too close behind and around me for me to be able to breathe freely.
