The Library Table

Last thing I read was a history of Byzantine philosophy and the broad impact the declining Empire had on the renaissance in western Europe, its impact on the Mu'tazilah and Falayasaf movement in the Golden-Age era of the Muslim world, and on the development of the Slavic peoples.

Title, please? I'm studying ancient philosophy right now, and have found very little in the way of Byzantine phil. That sounds really cool!

Incarceron [Sandbox Cyberpunk]

This is fascinating, so complex! If it's still open when I have time at the end of this week after work, I'll definitely apply. :)

Marches of Man: the Black Shields. [ALWAYS OPEN]

This looks epic (in the literary sense :o) and I'm sad to have missed out. Submission pending, if possible. Is there any type of character specifically needed?

Fused At Birth

I'm interested. Narratives told through the lens of an unreliable narrator / one with another 'conscience' could be really intriguing!

You mentioned that you don't expect an extreme amount of writing, but what's typical for you personally in terms of length/depth?

Book Recommendation... Please.

Dystopian novels. So hot right now.

For YA (which is what you seem to be reading currently), definitely check out the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. It's part of a series and has to do with body/mind alteration stuff (from what I remember). Also, strong(er) female protagonist.

In a similar vein, check out Feed by MT Anderson, which is considered a dystopian classic but is more somber. More sci-fi.

Other YA dystopian novels you should check out include The Maze Runner and The Forest of Hands and Teeth (zombies!),

Want weird/intense/shocking? Try Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess if you haven't already. Written partially in a fictional slang language, 'nadsat', it's full of intensely emotional, violent scenes and has a lot of artistic/cultural references.

Want strange/out-of-body/cool narration? Try out some of Vonnegut's novels, including Galapagos, which is about the 'rebirth of humanity' of sorts after the world's economy collapses. It's told from the eternal spirit/ghost of some sci-fi writer's son. It's a lot of fun! I also recommend Breakfast of Champions, which sort of breaks the fourth wall and plays with themes of free will. The characters are also hilarious.

You mentioned space stuff. And sci-fi. And dystopias. Check out Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, which is very accessible and apparently has a sweet film adaptation.

HELLO (RP)G MY OLD FRIEND

I've been inactive for such an extended period of time that I feel I should say 'hi' once more! Since I've forgotten mostly everything.

I have RPed in the past and would like to continue doing so since I find it's a great way to practice (creative) writing. Continuously and with like-minded people, I suppose.
Call me Susano'o or Gaudi, or anything.

I expect very raunchy slashfiction.

Sherlock Homes is no longer copyrighted

This is just the court just confirming it. It's been available for some time, I think. Pretty exciting. :)

Fantastical Sky Pirates! (A Steampunk/Fantasy RP Interest Check)

This sounds really cool, sort of reminds me of Castle in the Sky though this is much more advanced / etc. :)
