Have a great screen shot? A funny one? A heroic last stand? Something weird? This is the place to post them. To make this more friendly to the dialup patrons and those with lower resolution display settings, I'm suggesting the following guidelines (subject to change): 1) Try to crunch the...
This likely exists somewhere, but I've been running into quite a few good sites in the past few weeks I'd like to share, just in case they're helpful. If anyone else has some, do feel free to post them up. Writing Style The Punctuation of Dialogue - our own Ludens with a very helpful...
No, it hasn't. I don't delete people's work unless it breaks the rules, and even then I hesitate to destroy creative work. If you posted an AAR in the last year here in the Mead Hall or Throne Room, chances are it has ended up in our new forum: The TreasAARy. Isn't that a clever name? I thought so....
The Punctuation of Dialogue Dialogue is a tricky thing. Not only is it quite hard to make characters sound believable, the punctuation of dialogue is a headache. Should the quotation be treated like a full sentence, or is it in the same sentence as the tag? And what if the tag is in the middle?...
The door to the Mead Hall swings open as your eyes peer within. The dim lights above sway as another crash of thunder overtakes your hearing. It's almost as dark as night inside as you take a few steps in. A slow and near, eerie creaking causes you to turn in alarm, a hand upon the hilt of your...

Random faces in the sky, Random faces fly by. Thinking of you constantly, Though I jump from one attraction to another, Never sticking, always fleeing. You are always there, Always as a distant memory You are in my head, The good I see in everyone,

After playing Combat Arms with all the keyboard commandos out there, I decided to write a rap song about it. ~;) Tap tap tap ratta tap tap tap! DADADADADADA! Hey yo yo! I'm the keyboard Commando! I'm the best player here, bro! A gaming god! Don't it show?! Wait, wait…what?! NO! How the...
Hi everyone, my First AAR will be in the Italics below, please tell me anything I can improve on, Pictures will be in the other chapters. Remember to give me some good points and improvements so I can make it better. All Thanks The Anarchist. Prologue Pontus. We have eagerly kept that name...
Dramatis Personae Review of the characters and their position at the moment of their appearing This story happened in the Year of Our Lord 1317 or 6825 since the Creation of the World in the reign of His Imperial Majesty Andronicus the Second, Basileus (Emperor) of the Roman Empire The...
The Fall of Constantinople by Edyzmedieval This is my first literary work that I have started way back in 2004, but it has been first posted in 2005. It covers the period from Manuel II Palaiologos, the grandfather of the last emperor, to the Siege of Constantinople, under the reign of...
The inspiration for this came after I read some articles of people literally losing everything because of the economic crisis, so I wrote a tale about ambition of going back up from my perspective. I hope you enjoy. :balloon2: Feedback appreciated!
Hey everyone, this is where i will be posting my new story, Saturn. it is not a sci-fi. Saturn Chapter 1: Alexandre “Ladies and gentlemen, for our next guest I am proud to introduce a great man,” The silver-haired man addressed the audience, their gazes focused on him, “Mr. Alexandre...
Finaly, me and my girlfriend/fiancé are getting round to renovating the upstairs in our home. We were thinking that we might as well decorate an upstairs bedroom for a baby. We are trying to get pregnant anyway. Our choice of colors went to 3 shades of green and I immediately thought of frogs. I...
Please comment. This is another creation I wrote in between lectures and commuting. :bow: There is a road, although you couldn’t see it because it was covered by several feet of snow, ice and some mud; and trapped in that road there is a truck loaded with tree trunks. It’s Christmas...
In response Gleemonex's I shall post of few of my drawings I did in art class last semester. Mind you, these are all done with my cell phone camera. If I ever find time this semester, I hope to get around to taking pics of my drawings with my camera :2thumbsup: Keyword "hopefully" ~;) This set...
Well, I noticed another thread pointing out that the visual arts are drastically outnumbered by literature in the Mead Hall, and I thought I'd see what I could do to fix that. I was listening to some songs from Conan the Barbarian* and got inspired:...
A old veteran is standing in one of the fields of Flanders, on a cold misty morning with his brown coat wrapped firmly around him. He is watching the rolling hills, obscured by thick fog, when his daughter appears beside him. He looks at her and smiles sadly. It was November 11th, 1995. She was...
Will moderate the Mead Hall.
This, will be my 3rd, and ungreat Story. I will try to write a story about "Semi-Fictional" Characters in WWII. these men are from the 3rd Platoon, Fox Company, 3rd Battalion, 502nd PIR, 101st Airborne Division of the United States, and Later to Dog Comapny in the 327th Glider Infantry...
This is the short story I wrote in my final Higher School English exam. Now the results are out, I thought I'd share it here. Unforgettable Lullaby Not long after he had returned from Sunday Mass, and crossed over the porch of his elegant Dublin town house, there came a shabby knock upon the...
It has been such a long day. Anyway, only ten minutes to midnight. My eyes are almost destroyed, I forgot my lens somewhere, I need one now, every screen is unreadable. I just can't see anything. I need to rest my eyes and my body. I never had the urge to return home as soon as possible. Its...
Pointe du Hoc This is my attempt at a very hard subject to write about. I feel its essentially impossible to write any sort of war story, especially on the World Wars, without personal interviews with the veterans themselves. Its such a subject that no author, artist or, well, anyone, can...
I took a small break from Fall of Constantinople, and I started writing short stories to hone and improve my writing skill. Enjoy it, and still take note it's my first attempt, so it might not be that interesting. :grin: Life's Pathway
Having potentially learnt some lessons from my last literary foray, here's another short story. Please comment. There will be a part 2 to this one and I will need your opinion as to which plays better, as they are rather versions of the same story than a sequential flow. So enjoy: Duel ...
Hey all. Lately there has been some talk of reorganization for the Mead Hall. So far it hasn't materialized but we'll get something running soon (i haven't forgotten!), until then I thought I'd post this. I originally wrote this piece for another publication, but seeing as the project never came...
Hey all, After a long while, SM has decided to try his had a writing again. So here's another short story of sorts. Comments and feedback are very welcome, specially on style, punctuation, etc, as I haven't written in english in a while too... A cookie will go to the first to guess who the...
http://users.on.net/~purdsa/Gahzette/src/gah.jpg Hello all! Ah... the Mead Hall... One of my favorite places of the Org. A place of arts, beauty, and writing skill. And it's that skill I need. Indeed, as a few threads can attest, mainly this one, I'm looking for writers, for a new...
I was pondering deeply today about the reconciliation between abstract psychological theorems and philosophical ideas and "hard" sciences when it occured to me that through scientific study one might be able to bridge the gap by a physical analysis of the human brain. I began to develop a theory...
Just the nitty gritty passing thoughts that popped into my odd little brain one night. :no: No way in -- No way out No question to ask, No thought to think.
This is a Poem I did for English, I was thinking and though I may aswell post it.... Enjoy He is dead, He deserved to be, I couldn’t stop until I had his head And now I’m full of Glee. He was alone at the time, Eating his lunch,
This is a short story of sorts I wrote a while ago and felt the need to release to the world, I am not sure if people will understand it without having some knowledge of history, but I will leave a section explaining it at the bottom incase you don't. It is a little wierd and muddled, though it is...
