Black reapers with the sound of steel on stones Are sharpening scythes. I see them place the hones In their hip-pockets as a thing that’s done, And start their silent swinging, one by one. Black horses drive a mower through the weeds, And there, a field rat, startled, squealing...

Congratulations Fernandel, you have started a trend! Honestly, I’m doing this out of somewhat morbid curiosity to see what’s lurking in the depths of my favorites list, which I haven’t cleaned out since I started an account back in 2006. I’ve got some five hundred and change on my list, so this...

Prologue Alternate reality theory. A concept that would have been impossible to even many in the science-fiction community. Certainly, the world of the early 1930s- consumed as it was by the Great Depression -was far more concerned with economic difficulties than flights of fancy. The...

======== Once upon a time lived a lonely man who was a very skilled liar. He was the kind of man who could tell lies as easy as he breathed. He lied so well and so often, that lies became a part of who he was. And even though he told lies for others’ sakes, his lies still hurt them. He...

Given the influx of AH users currently in progress, it's only a matter of time before we get a lot more ASOIAF fics going. As such, I feel it's only appropriate to try and combine it with our major fiction generator, Worm!

And is it as awful as everyone says? Asking for a friend. ‘The Emoji Movie’ got dumped on by critics. These are the best lines from their reviews. The Emoji Movie is so bad, it made us yell at strangers on the street

Prologue - Chapter One/Two/Three If you could save anyone, but only once, who would you save? If, after having saved them, they were to die again, what would you say? Would you believe yourself cheated? Would you think fate an unending, eternal chain of obligations without leeway? At the...

Magical Girl Quest - The Fire That Burns Today was a sunny day, it was like most other days. You were walking through the shopping district, absent-mindedly moving around an old couple. Suddenly, it wasn't a normal day any more. Seeing everyone standing to your left explode into a red mist...

'Hulk Movie Will Never Happen,' Says Mark Ruffalo Basically Universal, who had the movie rights carrying over from the old TV series, don't want to cooperate with Marvel on a project.

The thread title sums it up, really. After trawling through my ridiculous amount of fanfiction bookmarks and becoming very quiet of mind reading them, I decided to expose myself to the insanity-inducing horrors that members of SV could recommend to me. Alternatively, if nobody has a...

Hello, ladies and gentlemen! I have been on the internet for a very long time. I'm sure I've realised several times over the last year that I have basically become an Old Man on these forums, waving my cane at young whippersnappers to get off my metaphorical lawn (even though we can all use the...

Authors Note: Because why not? Something to note before we begin: I'm doing this in the general style of the original novel, with almost all the entries being interviews with a subject, presented as an in-universe document. I might mix it up now and again by including other formats such as...
