About Myself:

I have a lifelong love of reading and a secret desire to be an author, that my chronic bouts of procrastination have always managed to stall. I read The Lord of The Rings when I was nine, and from that most excellent starting point have always felt my favourite genre to be fantasy, although I consider the definition of fantasy to be as broad as the mind can wander. I would like to recommend the following authors: Brian Lumley, Katherine Kerr, Raymond E Feist, Robert Jordan, Jean M Auel, Anne Rice, Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov and of course good ol' Tolkein. Wikipedia them or something, they're all excellent storytellers!

Title article: Ode to Chaabuk

actually it took no effort at all! part of the fun i guess

Title article: Haiku-Untitled
Date: 2008-08-28 22:27:12

Personally I dont understand what this is about at all. I cant imagine something with bloody petals and a blade.

Title article: The Draught
Date: 2008-08-28 22:05:18

I liked the way it sounded with an abrupt ending. Thanks for the comment!

Title article: life is nothing but a miracle
Date: 2008-08-28 06:03:13

So good that someone could feel free after such intense feelings. I think this story rings true for a lot of people

Title article: Ode to Simplicity
Date: 2008-08-27 22:24:10

This is a very rich poem. I found myself mesmerised when reading it. I see some questions here that can relate to us all. sometimes overthinking a problem is the problem and the solution is to leave it alone

Title article: Pretty Fly for a Russian Guy
Date: 2008-08-27 22:08:36

wtf!!!! that was fucking bizarre, but very entertaining. Twisted tales are your thing max, you do them well

Title article: Hoping The Sun Doesn't Rise
Date: 2008-08-27 22:03:19

You are good at your chosen style and you should stick with it, but I wouldn't discourage people who dont like it from commenting, because someones opinion is like a cigarette being offered, you dont have to accept it, nor get mad at the offer. Be proud of your work not defensive! I liked this poem for showing exactly how devestated one person can make another. I hope you or your poems get over the one who inspired this one day ;)

Title article: The Possessor of All, Chapter 4
Date: 2008-08-27 21:53:45

Wow, that was an intense ending. I see a lot of parralels about pandoras box and other themes of temtptation and desire. I wonder if there was ever any hope of sapien resisting the vocal spells temptation? it seemed like he was under a spell himself rather than being tempted like a human. Could he have avoided reading the spell? the way this was written seems to suggest no. In which case its a bizarre story, with the source magic purposely setting up the end of the world. I found the ending impressive, I liked the idea of the entire life force of the universe being returned to the creator.

Title article: The Possessor of All, Chapter 3
Date: 2008-08-27 21:37:46

I am enjoying this tale so far. I would like to see some conflict, there has been mention of dark forces and enemies, yet theyve played little part so far. I find the temptation of the vocal spell to be interesting, I hope its explored. I wonder why the source of all magic would be concerned with creating wealth for people? I realise that the wizard will use it for the needy, but it strikes me as such an entirely human motivation, as though 'magic' is just a human spirit after all.

Title article: End of Minds (part five)
Date: 2008-08-27 18:37:47

Thank you for all your thoughts and comments Mr Dasgupta, much appreciated

Max Booth III (Zombie Punk)	Created On: 08/11/2008 15:14:41 Yeah, it's gonna have a lot more of a fantasy plot. I'm about to start the prologue in a little bit, and work out the plot some more.
