As some of you have probably seen, I haven't been around much since the beginning of April or so. That's because whatever spark I had left to write here has gone out, leaving this story in limbo. I...

Sounds like this poem is comparing the actions of how royalty should rule by respect, rather than through bribery or force. The word usage likens that kings should rule with a firm, but fair hand;...

As the story has progressed, from the original to this version, many of the main characters have gone through what I call 'catalyst moments.' What's meant by that, is certain characters are...

Early that afternoon, Edhen returned home to the villa. Roaming the halls, she was unable to find her husband in the typical places where she usually found him, which left the Courtesan to scour the...

1) I still do have the habit of writing run-on sentences when being overly-descriptive, that, and they can be wordy as well. From commentary I've received, I'm working getting that under control,...

Traitor...coward...murderer. Hero...leader...fighter.

These words Braedan heard while he slept, words whose meaning he couldn't give context to right then. They replayed over and over, through...

First off, apologies not having read any of your other works sooner.

This is quite a fascinating take on how children view the passing of time, as opposed to adults. At such a young age, we're...

Came by to see if anyone would be kind enough to design a header for the front page of my story, Titanium Core: Borderlands? Should you be at all interested, please send me a PM.

A recommendation, and this isn't a comment about your work in general, but please try and break up a story of this length into separate posts. A reader might come here and think, "Damn, that's a lot...

I like how each stanza is its own mini-story, each different but related towards the same subject. The flow is also executed very well, except the first half of the second stanza, where the lack of...

Serves as a good example of how, if we let it, social media can consume us and alter our perceptions on what really matters in our lives.

The main character essentially became little more than a...

While I've only gotten through the first chapter, I'm enjoying what I've read so far. Apart from some typos I spotted here and there, The Bat Incident was surprisingly breezy and humorous, with...

It's been a while -- a long while -- since I thought about coming on here to write anything about what's been going on.

First off, I'm in the ongoing process of...

From what I was able to get through, granted I wasn't able to read all of it, the story itself has some promise if you're willing to invest the time into it. Being historically-based, you appear to...

A couple days later...

A special assembly would gather in a sacred and revered location among the Xelanite people. This place, referred to as Ex Pia Meditatione et Circulo, roughly translated as...

Firstly, I appreciate you taking the time to read through some of my work, and in turn leaving a critique.

1) I've noticed that a lot myself, after having gone back several times to re-read some...

I'll have a lot to catch up on, seeing as I've only had time to complete Chapter 1. What I have read though, you set the stage very well with where you wanted the story to go, capturing the setting...

Whenever I get around to writing the next part of the story, I'll take that into consideration. I attempted something similar with the first part, but after several posts, with all the people,...

For anyone who may casually follow my story, Titanium Core: Borderlands, I'm having mixed feelings in keeping whatever continuation comes afterwards on TWC. I don't know what it is, though I suspect...

Thanks for the feedback, since I always like attracting new readers to the story.

There's something about writing 'short' posts that, for whatever odd reason, don't sit well with me. There's the...

Through the debris scattered about, the mercenary captain and rogue agent scoured the ruins of the precinct, looking for any signs that would indicate that Jameson had survived. Braedan knew...

Hey everyone! Wanted to drop in to let you know I'm still around, and currently working on the next update. I've gotten close to a page and a half written thus far, and would prefer if I could get...

Alwyn, as always, your critique is quite welcome.

As for the call from the Alliance agent, it had less to do with the signal cutting out, and more to do with what it meant contextually. When they...

Briefly after her ordeal, Edhen fell into a state of unconsciousness, unable to cope with the physical and emotional trauma she'd just been through. Despite being reasonably mature for someone her...

The reluctant group then proceeded to make their way down into the lower reaches of the city, where, if Braedan's hunch was correct, they'd find the person he suspected knew more of the present...

It's often, to the writer's benefit, to allow the reader to judge for themselves the meaning behind certain actions characters take. In this instance, Braedan has to placate both Alyssa and Talia...

After a long absence, I've decided to begin picking up with the story where I left off last year.

For the longest time, I'd been developing storylines, but yet hadn't found the inspiration to...

Since ordering the case, the only other item(s) I've ordered have been the case fans. What's kept me from ordering more, has been odds and ends that have chipped away at my personal budget, but...

Throughout my research, I found that MSI seems to be making the most reliable mATX boards right now, especially with their newest B250 series. Though something else I've learned, is to avoid nearly...

I'm not an Intel guy by any means, so please pardon me if it sounds like this is coming out of my ass.

While the stock cooler that Intel provides is better than what AMD provides with their...

I went ahead and ordered a mid-tower case, the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M, a couple of days ago. The one thing I'm left debating is whether to purchase an ATX or mini-ATX motherboard. On one side, with...

If I wanted to keep an AMD setup, I could easily forego a higher-end CPU, seeing that I'm already running an FX-6300, whose abilities are only limited by the video card. The trouble I've had is...

I'd thought of trying to get everything at once, but soon realized, once the price of the build began rising, I figured doing a little at a time was best. My idea, was to buy the components which...

Funnily enough, the PSU you selected, was the original I'd picked for the AMD build. But when it comes to the PSUs, there's that tendency to go overkill; however, there's something comforting in...

In looking to create a new system recently, I found it disappointing that the latest motherboards don't support PCI sound cards anymore. I've had an HT Omega Striker 7.1 that's been a constant in...

A couple weeks ago, I got it in my head that I wanted to start building another PC. I've got a fair amount of money stashed away, though it isn't nearly enough to spend frivolously on the latest and...

The following morning...

The day was early, and the sun yet barely shone into the bedroom, as the couple concluded another rousing session of lovemaking. Kissing her husband one last time, the...

Domitian was born in the time before the first contact with humans had been established, and came to see them as unrefined; this is different compared to Nicasia, who purely saw humanity as inferior....

Edhen returned back to the villa, as instructed, and upon finding Braedan, explained the details of the discussion she'd had with her father. With the Praetor's command, it was left intentionally...

Edhen greeted her father with a faux kiss on the cheek, before Domitian took her by the hands to have a chance to look her over. It had been many a month since looking upon the sight of his...
