urban fantasy

Nothing serious just for the hell of it. Humans were a bad enemy to fight - which also made them a good enemy, for orks made little distinction between the two concepts. No matter how many humans were killed, there were always more to take their place, shiploads of them brimming with a...

I noticed SV doesn't a thread for Buffy & Angel related talkies so I made one! It should be obvious that we'd use this thread to recommend interesting fanfics, just discuss the intricacies of the Buffy-verse and talk about why the Watcher's Council are such ginormous dicks. First topic: Who...

Sooooooooooooo there's no thread on Shadowrun, arguable the most influential sci-fi franchise in the world, so I decided to make one! This will be the place to talk about all things Shadowrun, from the tabletop games to the new PC games and what have you. To kick this off: HOLY SHIT SHADOWRUN...

Didn't find one, so decided to start one with a relatively old idea I posted on SB (plus some modifications) after seeing this SM fanart and watching Bubblegum Crisis (and pictures of contrasts of Japanese Shrines and graveyards located practically next door to fancy new skyscrapers)...

(Or would modern fantasy be an appropriate name?) I'm not talking about urban fantasy here (real life only that legends and myths were real, hidden all along, yadda yadda), but about how your typical medieval high fantasy would look like in its own contemporary era. For this new period, a...

You walk into town with dust on your boots, your jeans, and your shirt. Your hat, such as it is, is clutched desperately in one hand. You're ignored by the people walking back and forth between buildings, but the few leaning against walls in the deep shade take notice. They glance you up and...

I was born with a strange gift. The ability to see what no human being had ever seen before. It’s all mixed up in my head… The images, the sounds, the smells. I need to remember. Remember who I am. I need to put things in order, right up to this moment. If I had to say how it all...

Brockton Bay. A slowly rotting, fog-wreathed city in a decaying world where things lurk in the shadows. And that's what I thought it was even before my powers opened my eyes. I wish I could ignore what I see. I wish I could forget. I wish I could escape. But I can't. The Other Place is always...

Scraped from here. There are times where one must acknowledge the depth of their situation and accept it for what it is. Sometimes, willing yourself out of a deep hole or off the top of a mountain will only will you to waste time willing for something better. And willing for something better...
