On Silver Wings – Chapter 9 snippet

FIRST BLOOD – dream sequence Cloud awoke from blissfully dreamless sleep to find himself slouched against the smooth mahogany of Hollcomb’s desk, his head pillowed against his arms. He blinked his eyes slowly as they adjusted to the gloom; he couldn’t remember turning the lights off but the office was lit only from the slight [...]

On Silver Wings – chapter 8

EXPLANATIONS Hearing the slight edge of panic in Sephiroth’s usually controlled tenor had shaken him. Here was the man he’d both feared and adulated as a teen, then later despised and chased, obviously human and more than slightly overwhelmed with their current situation. Even with Zack’s reassuring presence at his side, seeing the man again, [...]

Assassin’s Creed 1 and 2: Great, big, awesome posters

I couldn’t resist; there are so many lovely hi-res images out there of both of our favorite assassins, it was simply too easy to mock up two gi-normous posters featuring Altaïr and Ezio. These aren’t printed yet, and I’ll post an update to show you what they look like in my, ahem, boudoir, which is [...]

The Eagle and the Wren – Chapter 1

ROAD TO DAMASCUS The road stretched on in front of the merchant caravan; to Jehane, unused to such travel, it felt endless, bordered left and right by lifeless desert, seemingly the same stretch of land for miles and miles. There was, at that time, plenty of opportunity for Jehane to regret, and remember. Although the [...]

Altaïr doodle in the works

Wow. To anyone who has visited this site in the past few, hell, probably years, this comes as a major shock. I’ve picked up the Wacom again! Cower in dread, mortals! … Currently trying so hard not to fuck up the colours in photoshop, and failing. So. New illustration to follow soon! I mean, just [...]

For those who care…

Top Content by Title Rape Time!

Just a short blurb to inform you all that, for some reason, the top visited page on this site is my Pyramid Head wallp post. By far. As in, absolutely no contest. I understand that PH is made of bloody awesome, but still. Strange world.

NaNoWriMo 09 and various other things

I’m happy to report that I managed to finish NaNo on time; it was my first year actually trying, and I’m pretty pleased with what I accomplished. I’ve left my NaNo story aside for now. It was written pretty quickly, and I think it needs to ripen a bit before I go back to it. [...]

NaNoWriMo ’09

Well, I jumped. I’ve been thinking of trying NaNo for years and years, but have only just gotten enough courage to actually sign up. On Silver Wings has been extremely good practice for me, and although I’ve been busy as hell and updates are getting scarce, I adore it to death; it’s taught me a [...]

On Silver Wings Update

Am currently waiting for my betas to finish going through chapter 5 before officially declaring it posted, here and on FF.net. I find it a little hard to really concentrate on the next one when I know that I’ll have to go back and edit through an older chapter. Bleh. I’m thinking of posting Snippets [...]
