    Lud-in-the-Mist

    As part of my fantasy fiction course this year, I read Hope Mirrlees' Lud-in-the-Mist, the classic fantasy book about illegal fairy fruit and goblins. Personally, I think it's an amazing book and a really enjoyable read, if a little confusing to figure out thematically (which doesn't mar my...

    Outwith the forums...

    Today I was thinking about the forums I visit online, and when replying to the thread about other book forums I got to thinking, I wonder how many forum users bump into one another in real life? Does it happen? By accident or meeting up? Or how about the thought that you could pass by another...

    Scottish independence

    (I'm not sure why I'm posting this now, as I'm leaving on holiday tomorrow... but what the heck, I'll just have to get back to you if anyone replies. I hope this is ok for the Mature section.) As many people will know (or not), the Scottish election in 2007 resulted in the SNP winning the...

    Online book lists

    Sleepers {contains spoilers}

    The other night I watched the movie version of Sleepers by Lorenzo Carcaterra, the true story of 4 boys who are sent to a juvenile facility after an accident with a hotdog cart. There they are badly abused by 4 prison guards and so changed forever. 10 years later they seek revenge. For me the...

    Sea of Souls

    Here goes... Death comes to those who wait Silence greets their souls Peace at last From the pain of this world It is the awaited one The great void No life within A sea of souls Souls of many Twisting, entwining A sea of one Yet each one defined Children and adults Girls...

    Voices

    Here I go with my second poem I've posted here... again it's on the morbid side... Unheard whispers Talking silently Unseen faces Laughing Leering Why do they taunt me? Why won’t they leave me? My mind is hurting Shouting Screaming I want to be alone again All I need is quiet...

    poem...

    Ok, so I've never actually posted anything like this before. Its not based on a true story, it was all in my mind. (oh and I wasn't sure which rating to give it so i just put the 15 one on it...) So tell me what you think.... Lay down here next to me And tell me what you see The little girl...

    Fonts...

    Ok so I didn't really know where to put this so I just posted here... I really like the font from Garth Nix's Sabriel, and I was wondering if anyone out there knows what that font is called. Thanks....
