Writing excuses
I’ve been told I raise procrastination to an art form. Well, actually no, nobody’s ever said that, but I’ll get them to someday. More seriously, while I’ve been definitely doing more creation, I think a lot of it was getting some of the muscle back. And that’s not to say this is going to waste! […]
Alternate timelines are fun!
I’ve long been kinda irritated by the “Russia takes what’s left of Finland/Sweden” bit in my 3P timeline, but didn’t see any other way it would turn out under the starting conditions. But I think I figured out a fix. As evidenced, wars in the modern era are easy. Russia’s rot hasn’t set in fully […]
A new challenger appears!
Given September 27th is Lindsey’s birthday, there was no better time to add her to the Characters page! Check her out!
How hard is entering the realms?
Physically, not hard at all. The border between the three major realms vs the normal world (or “Scientific realm) can be walked across as easily as any state line or map border.

Thordani terms and sayings
One part that’s fun about writing is coming up with terms and sayings. Here’s a few from the Thordani.
Three Pantheons revamp timeline (2001-2011)
The one sentence summary is “Modern fantasy with cold war tensions, magic, and gods.” Here’s a modified high level timeline focusing on the world itself and less on Nathan. Will work on this further, but this is where we are now.
Breathtaking
In the past, I did a lot of research on US WWII submarines. One thing of particular interest to me was the procedures for keeping the air breathable during submersion, which was later used in the Apollo program. US subs were not equipped with snorkels in WWII, so they were entirely battery powered when under. […]
What do YOU want to see?
I’ve been in a loop over the character pages a bit. The first two are up, for Vershaft and Aikine, but they were the easier ones. Many of my chars have multiple canons, or such. I was thinking of doing a ‘base page’ with the explanation of the character, subpages for things like art galleries […]
