Some more information on religion in All-That-Is.

( The God of Gods )

That was much shorter than I expected, so here's some information on Phanatat, the God of Procrastination.

( I taught I taw a Phana Tat )

Remember the rules: You can pick anything that I've mentioned, or anything not yet filled out on the wiki, and I'll write a full update about it. Anything at all. You have the power!

Some general information about the deities that live in All-That-Is.

( The gods await! )

Again, pick anything mentioned in any of these pieces, and I'll expand on it. No?

I've got improv today, and I have to start getting ready in about 20 minutes. So let's see what we can write in that time about our friend Borge.

( Borge the Dwarf - Part 1 )

I've run out of suggestions from people. Remember, you can request expansion on anything! Any feature of All-That-Is at all! If I've mentioned it, I'll write about it.

(of course, I'll finish Borge's tale before I do anything else)

Two short ones tonight!

My little sister requested it, so even though his life wasn't particularly interesting, here's the story of King Azzle, father of the Queen Azma (subject of this entry)

( King Azzle the Fairy )

( Serenade, the City of Love )

I can never work out endings. Even though it's just description, I put a fair bit of effort into the beginning of each one, and I feel like I should do the same with the end. I can never work out how to finish the more neutral ones, such as cities or gods. I guess until I work something out, I'll just keep resorting to "hey, this was an advertisement all along!", regardless of how dodgy it is.

Well, rainbow_sleeve requested it, so here's some background information on Mildred, God of Librarians, and her church. (note: both male and female deities are referred to as "gods" in this universe.)

I'm at work, and I've got 25 minutes until my lunch break ends, so lets see how much I can write in that time.

( Mildred )

Remember, I'll write about topics in the order I receive them. I'm going out tonight, so I don't know if I'll get one done, but if I get some requests, I'll make the effort.

In other news, Tony Martin was on Thank God You're Here the other night. I always recognise him, but it's not until I pop online that I remember he played Sharon's arsehole boyfriend on Kath and Kim. The shaggy beard and hair make all the difference: he's almost entirely unrecogniseable. He was great on K&K, however. That kid can really act.

Okie doke! Some more creative writing. This time, it's Dorysse Glum. At the middle/beginning of grade 11, I had an idea for a webcomic, written by me and drawn by James. James never actually got around to drawing it, but I have the format and plot all worked out. And, of course, the characters.

I'm not actually sure where my notes on the other characters are, but Dorysse was probably my favourite anyway, so I'll start with her. This starts in the Year of the Brolga.

( Dorysse Glum, the Gnomish Wizard )

Hey, let's make this interactive. What/who do you want to hear about next? (and no, you can't say "The God Contest", because the end of this is where the comic starts. I can expand on back-stories, however.)

• Borge, the one-armed Gladiator Dwarf
  
• Tim, the enchanted human.
  
• ___, the cursed Peedling Bard. (I have these names in a book somewhere, but I've lost it)
  
• ___, the Elf with a prophecy
  
• Nomad's Land, the forest where they all live
  
• Mildred, the God of Librarians
  
• Anything else mentioned in any of these stories. (including anything mentioned in the Frankel or Azma stories.) I'm creating a universe here. I can expand on anything!

I'll write 'em in the order of comments.

Continuing from yesterday, some more biographical fiction. Again, doesn't go anywhere in particular, just provides some background on the character and perhaps explains her motivations from a less biased perspective.

( Azma the Fairy )

Woo, that was a long one, wasn't it! I think that it works rather nicely with Frankel's. Similarly weak structure, but as I said, I'm just getting back into the hang of writing. That's the end of their little mini-story, at least until I actually sit down and write the Vizard of Az. Tomorrow I'm going out to see some improv comedy, but the day after that, I'll start writing about a different group of characters: a Dwarf, a Gnome, a cursed Demon, and an enchanted Human.

This journal is now officially a "creative" journal as well. I've received consistently positive feedback on my Nano novel, so I'm considering finishing that off and posting it up here, but I need to get back into the "Creative Non-Script Fiction" groove, so here's a short piece set in All-That-Is, in the Year of the Blenny. It's nothing substantial, but writing non-journal or dialogue sentences is tricky when you haven't done it for a while. Settling into a groove is the trick, and the only way to do that, is to write.

( Frankel the Peedling )

Blech. Couldn't work out how to finish it, so I just went "overly patriotic." It's a bit clunky, and doesn't go anywhere in particular, but hey, walk before you run, and it's helped me flesh out Frankel.
