The Father of Dragons, Io, roared out in death, the Ruinous Powers laughing as the young plane falls to daemonic corruption. Earlier, Io had prepared his children, letting them know of the long fight against the encroaching, evil enemy. The head deity faltered but fought on as he explained...

Fallout: Lone Star State V. Jance Cold air filled my lungs and my eyes snapped open to bright light and the smell of alcohol filled my nose. Before that there'd been nothing at all. I had a vague awareness that there had been something before that, but what it was eluded me. I was naked but...

So, I've been reading and rereading One Piece fanfiction, primarily because of @Xomniac and the rest of the Cross-brain. What can I say? This Bites! is awesome. On top of that, I've been rewatching and rereading the anime and manga (4Kids still sucks, though. Manga's much better.) and thinking...

When someone is born into this world, they come from the ground. In the quiet places that people rarely visit and never think about, they rise and grow like a plant; beginning as a featureless mass, they develop into a hooded figure free of identifying traits. Sometimes they remain rooted in...

Ok. So, I have been puttering around SV and SB for a while and I rarely have the time to contribute anything due in large part to the fact I only have a cell phone as my internet access at the moment. Now I try to be active and contribute where I can. However I cannot properly care for any plot...
