Laura returns to the kitchen, and pours herself the last of the coffee.
“So, did you and the world’s greatest niece solve the problems of the world?” Patience asks her sister.
“No. But we figured out why Seth Reston is so quiet around her in school, and so outgoing when he comes over here to play.”
“Because he has a crush on her?” I venture.
“Because he has a penis,” Patience offers. “Explains most every bit of lunacy, misbehaviour, and unhappiness in this world.”

Moondust Fantasy Webserial

Filed under: Domain, Layouts, Writing —356 words by Steph @ 2:20 pm BBC Wikipedia

It began in a small town, as stories often do. It was a quiet place for the most part, a town on the Lachlan River in NSW, Australia. The town was friendly as little towns ever are to strangers, but even so when they saw certain people.. well, they believed their reasoning for not liking them on sight was justified by the odd things that seemed to follow them.

You see, the good folks of Blackridge had the unfortunate delusion that magic, for better or worse, was nothing but fiction. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter-Is-A-God type fiction. So when things that could not be explained away by reason and science occurred, they blissfully ignored it. Because if they ignored it, who was to say it was real? Certainly no one else in the Western World could still believe in those children’s tales, could they?

So yes, they did notice Raina Tibbits when she moved into the old Williamson house just outside of the main area of town, but if you ask them they’ll deny it. Because she’s too strange for them to acknowledge her existence without admitting that perhaps those old stories aren’t as fictitious as they previously thought. And this is where we meet the lady of the hour, Miss Raina Tibbits. Or Ms, if you prefer - she never minded either way. But she’d prefer you just called her Raina.

Start at the beginning or at the newest update!

Updated weekly.


This is my new baby, I’d appreciate if you tried it and commented, even if you don’t like it. Also, C-M itself has a new layout and I’m reordering things again. :) (If you comment on Moondust, please actually comment on that site, it’d be appreciated, also. Tell your friends!

the chill bites before it comes

You know, I’d like to announce that I am here in a not dead sort of way. If you looked around recently you’d notice the whole new layout thing and such. It features one of the buffy033.pngbest and most under rated TV shows, like in the history of ever. HEX. It’s got the main character Cassie on it, she’s sort of the mother of the spawn of the devil, but she’s still awesome? >.> Well she is.

Things are getting moved around and such, so broken links may abound until I’m done, but hang in there. I seem to do this at least once a year anyway.  The art and stuff has been moved to a coppermine gallery so you can actually comment and stuff, some of the animated things thumbs look weird, but I assure you the normal image works dandy. Ignore the layout. Working on it, among other things.

I was thinking I might make the headers on the main site rotate though.. *ponders*

Oh and theres like, a ton of new avatars. Go! Look!
