Jossverse | Ardaverse | Potterverse | Gateverse | Sundry Literature



1. I write fanfiction. What? Some people collect china cows!

2. Following each of these stories all characters will be hosed off, issued complimentary bathrobes and returned to whatever gods they believe in. I make no profit off them.

3. I am friendly and love feedback. If you are so moved, drop a comment on my blog, or email stultiloquentia AT yahoo DOT ca.

4. Everything here is fair game for critique and further transformative work, including, but not limited to, sequels, remixes, podfic, commentaries and lousy reviews. Just credit me appropriately and drop me a link if you get the chance.

He played the sexiest Hamlet I've ever seen: an agnostic, anarchist, socialist Hamlet with crazy bohemian intellectual friends who lit him up like a lamp whenever they appeared; surely working on his Ph.D. at Wittenberg; too fucking educated to act without pause. I'm usually a pretty callous Hamlet-watcher, but Sam broke my heart.
