Servant of Death Servant of Death By Megan Cutler | July 3, 2017 | Comments 2 comments I’ve started writing more about Azmih, my lonely and mysterious Necromancer. He always seems popular when he pops up. Like Reianna, he’s a character that I keep coming back to, keep chipping away at, trying to find his final form. He has a story to tell, I’m just not sure what form it takes or … Read More Read More
Six Silly Dragon Stories (from My Real Life) Six Silly Dragon Stories (from My Real Life) By Megan Cutler | May 22, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I used to collect dragons. I started in high school when my grandmother purchases me a hand-blown glass dragon as a birthday gift. For awhile, everywhere I went, I came home with a new dragon. Unfortunately, any type of figure collecting is expensive, and my husband and I agree we’ve run out of places to … Read More Read More
4 Recurring Dreams and How to Interpret Them 4 Recurring Dreams and How to Interpret Them By Megan Cutler | March 20, 2017 | Comments 1 comment Last night, I had one of those epic dream sequences that continued every time I woke up and fell back asleep. These dream journeys have provided me with several novel plots, so I’m not complaining. Unfortunately, last night’s dream didn’t take me to any awesome fantasy lands and it didn’t involve new or interesting characters. … Read More Read More
On Social Media and Media Bias Filters On Social Media and Media Bias Filters By Megan Cutler | February 13, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Way back in the long ago, what feels like forever now, I wrote a post about whose responsibility it is to protect our privacy on social media. While Facebook does have the ability to prevent us from posting our credit card information, that doesn’t excuse us from acting intelligently and responsibly.

Rejecting the ‘He Hurts Me Out of Love’ Trope Rejecting the ‘He Hurts Me Out of Love’ Trope By Megan Cutler | November 7, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve been spending my free time playing Amnesia; Memories. It’s an otome dating sim, which means it’s designed for women. All the potential prospects are male. What I like about the game is that each route is its own little romantic mystery. Instead of parading a group of prospects in front of you, the person … Read More Read More
Star Trek Beyond; a (Mostly) Spoiler Free Review Star Trek Beyond; a (Mostly) Spoiler Free Review By Megan Cutler | September 26, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment For a while now, I’ve wanted to write my thoughts about the latest Star Trek movie (and the new franchise as a whole). I hope by the time this goes up most people who really want to see it will have. I intend to avoid spoilers (aside from some details about the ‘scene’ involving Sulu … Read More Read More
Introducing Zita, an Old Fanfic Character Introducing Zita, an Old Fanfic Character By Megan Cutler | May 9, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Confession time! I may have mentioned this before, but the first stories I ever wrote were Sailor Moon fanfiction. I’m not even ashamed, because Sailor Moon is awesome. Fanfiction is great because it gives you a chance to learn the writing ropes without having to build the foundation yourself. Certain series lend themselves extremely well … Read More Read More
Both Geek and Girl Both Geek and Girl By Megan Cutler | November 30, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment These days, women have to fight to defend their position in the ‘geek sphere.’ Women are either quizzed or ridiculed the moment they express an interest in something. Women are accused of being ‘fake geeks'(for what reason I can’t imagine). And there are endless discussions on the portrayal of female characters in movies, games and … Read More Read More
Persistent Creativity Persistent Creativity By Megan Cutler | November 9, 2015 | Comments 0 Comment In high school, my friends and I loved Sailor Moon. It was in the midst of revived popularity, largely because the end of season two had finally arrived in America, followed by seasons three and four. Sailor Moon was, in many ways, my gateway to writing. It’s one of those worlds that inspired many writers … Read More Read More
Guilty Pleasures Guilty Pleasures By Megan Cutler | June 1, 2015 | Comments 1 comment I usually don’t like the term ‘guilty pleasures.’ I think if you enjoy something, you shouldn’t feel ashamed. Yet I feel a hint of shame whenever I think of the items on this list. These movies are so bad. Every time I hear someone mention hating one of them, I bow my head and quietly … Read More Read More
