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: Lighthouse
Date: 2008-08-25 10:28:46

I see this not as a story, but as an expression of pure emotions and feelings. The metaphor of the lighthouse is a good one for expressing loneliness and self loathing. How nice to have a rock to cling to, when so many have none.

Title article: Frustration
Date: 2008-08-25 10:24:20

When I worked the checkout aisle in a supermarket, this is the sort of thing I might have composed in my head as stress relief.

Title article: A Static Reality
Date: 2008-08-25 10:21:32

I have to partially agree with indianaman here, I feel that your message is a little unclear, yet I always remind myself that sometimes poems are too deeply personal to make literal sense to the casual observer.

Title article: A Sigh to Remember
Date: 2008-08-25 10:15:22

The narration style you use is engaging, I found myself pleasantly amused by this. I imagine that the japanese police would not be impressed if the character had been caught! The town sounds like a place to visit, I one day want to go to japan

Title article: Ebony Eyes
Date: 2008-08-25 10:06:59

Enjoyable. I get similar deja vu experiences all the time, although I never have songs interfering with the radio. How sad for the main character to save them all and die nonetheless

Title article: Unpredictable Suicide
Date: 2008-08-25 09:57:07

Very good. I wonder what monster the father was consumed by. I felt a sense of the tragedy that comes with the loss of innocence. Well told

Title article: The Possessor of All, Chapter 2
Date: 2008-08-24 22:12:49

I liked the gentle nature of the wizard, made him seem very pure, to consider the pain of the herb. I would consider having something happen before you say 'to be continued' anything at all that hints at the next chapter enough to keep the reader wanting to read on
I love the name of the horse Marantha, such an original name

Title article: Her Face -- A Haiku
Date: 2008-08-24 21:59:51

I pictured my girlfriends face when I read this. If a haiku paints a mental picture, this one succeeded perfectly

Title article: The Possessor of All, Chapter 1
Date: 2008-08-24 21:48:42

For a first chapter, there was a lot of exposition. You might want to consider the idea that some of the explanations and scene setting can wait for other chapters. This was a lot of information to take in in one go, which can make it hard to follow.
I see some classic themes here, good vs evil, power and temptation, the holy grail (the ultimate prize). This shows that you have put a lot of thought into this story. In most great fantasies there is 'the dark one' and the agent of the light, tried and true characterisations, which bodes well for this story.

Title article: Suburban Hell
Date: 2008-08-24 21:29:54

That was riveting man, really good. I found myself wondering what the fuck was going on so badly that I could barely wait till the end. I have a suggestion: Give the man a choice to star in season 2, that way when he says no he gets shot. Otherwise the whole explanation from Mr Cole is unnecessary if he was only ever planning to shoot him. All in all a great story

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.
Max Booth III (Zombie Punk)	Created On: 08/10/2008 19:08:36 Hehe enjoy! I think it turned out great. There is a sequel in the talks. You think you'd be interested in doing another chapter?
Max Booth III (Zombie Punk)	Created On: 08/09/2008 19:16:19 Hey, man, what's going on? You havent posted any stories (other then Project 30) in a really long time. I miss your writing.

C.D.Walker (indianaman130)	Created On: 07/09/2008 16:24:48 The only authors i haven't read from your list are Kerr and Auel. Shame about Jordan, started reading the Wheel in 98.
jesse (jesse2008) Blog	Created On: 07/05/2008 19:02:38 Very nice work Dirkin. You should update that blog, I'll would be glad to link up. But, that's beside the point. You keep on writing, you're doing a hell of a job.

Heh... Feedback from Mugen (Dirkin): Hmm i don't know any mexican jokes... (aussie), try this: why did the boy fall off the swingset? he had no arms.
