Hey folks, (If you read this general introduction paragraph in one of my other threads, it's just copied directly over, in case this thread is the only one you look at, so feel free to skip over it, if you've read it already.) So, I've been writing away and posting up my works intermittently for quite a while now, and I've always deeply craved feedback, or all sorts. Mostly I want to share my stories with anyone who'd care to read it, but beyond that, I very much welcome anyone who can offer comments, even if they're just notes to say things they liked or didn't, what things they felt worked, or didn't. Thus far, I've been unable to get anything but praise from readers, which, while I deeply appreciate it (and if you're so inclined, I do love it), doesn't help me improve, so I'm equally eager to hear from readers who can tear my work apart, pick all the holes and really put me through the wringer of detailed feedback. For a time, I checked back on my works, but, while views steadily climb, very rare is it that anyone reviews; all bar one of my submissions here remain on a solitary, lonely zero. Then, the other day, a friend told me that if I really wanted to grab the eye of readers who would feel inclined to comment back, then I really ought to swing over this way and put up promotion threads for them here. Turns out, this was a novel idea for me, so, here I am. ---- This last set is notably less mainstream, and is a much more personal series of works. It is a series of ten fictions (soon to be eleven) that run alongside each other, and trace the stories, adventures, and intimate encounters of my own characters from the Lord of the Rings Online MMO, with each character representing one Class from the game. Many of them only have their introductory backgrounds posted as of yet, but a few have a respectable number of chapters to them, with more in the works. Much of what is seen in these chapters has some reflection of possible game events, areas, interactions or quest lines, but a lot of it, equally, will not. I shy away from retelling known in-game quests and story lines. Rather, I aim for realism, and realistic characters; individuals who are ordinary people first, and archetypes second. For the most part, they run separately for now, but my goal is to reach a point with each of them where they begin to tie up with one another. By definition, what you will read in these tales will be heavily OC focused, and you don't need to be familiar with the game (though some familiarity with general Tolkien lore would probably be helpful) to appreciate or enjoy them... however, those who are familiar with the game should hopefully find little bits and pieces that add in a twist of familiarity or nostalgia here and there. Unlike my other works on here, these tales don't shy away from the unpleasant, often nastier and rougher sides of life and trying to live in this sort of world and setting. Some of them go to some dark places.... and I don't mean Moria. Like all my other work, however, I want eagerly to her anything anyone has to say or offer or add, good or bad.

This is why we have ZERO tolerance in the archive for it. It happens far, far too often. That being the case, there's been a definite uptick in that with academics as well. But this is ALSO why we tell people to cite their sources here, and warn the stories if they do not. We don't consider the leaving out of a citation plagiarism, but a mistake that can be corrected. Of course, you don't have the option of having your work hidden and then deleted at uni for non correction

here ya go, Anna Karenina set in the Frozen 'verse

Whoops. I hope the consequences aren't too severe. Professors are hypersensitive to plagiarism these days, mainly because plagiarism is easier to commit than it's ever been.

Okay, I haven't tried to kill it, but I wish I could at least put it on a diet. This thing is turning into an epic in my head, like some kind of crazy Disney direct-to-video sequel written by a Russian novelist.

You don't type with your toes: do you? B

Hmmmm, it is kinda a sloppy photoshop...oh well, I didn't make it, just stole it!

Man I feel old today, I am getting way to old and fat to be dancing with twenty somethings; I haven't been this bruised up in a long time Well at least I didn't break any fingers so I can still write
