For a Small Fee; A Tale of Greed For a Small Fee; A Tale of Greed By Megan Cutler | June 2, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Way in the long ago, when D&D 4th edition came out, my husband and I decided to test it out with a short one-shot. We recruited my brother-in-law and a friend of his and set up a small group. I decided to try something outside my norm and created a Paladin. According to the rule … Read More Read More
The Blue Rose The Blue Rose By Megan Cutler | May 26, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment This is an old piece that I found while digging around on my hard drive (so it may be a bit rougher than usual). Several years ago (probably close to a decade now), my husband and I were coming home from dinner out on Valentine’s Day and we encountered a flower seller in the subway … Read More Read More
Very Few Are Left (Revisited) Very Few Are Left (Revisited) By Megan Cutler | May 19, 2017 | Comments 3 comments A while back I decided to re-do a prompt with the same character in the same universe, but at a different part of their life. As usual, Domerin had a lot to offer. But I thought his idea was rather cheaty – since it actually involved a different version of himself (even if he does … Read More Read More
Icebound Isle Icebound Isle By Megan Cutler | May 12, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I returned to my first world, dismayed to find it dying. Everything I built remained; the high tower, the markers, the secret place. Winter claimed the rest. Rolling green hills shrouded in snow. Warm, sandy beaches became mud traps. Withered trees shuddered in violent winds, shriveled branches reaching for the sky with no leaves to … Read More Read More
Liquid Productivity; A Tale of Lust Liquid Productivity; A Tale of Lust By Megan Cutler | May 5, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Continuing with my seven deadly sins series, here’s round two of Lust featuring Veronika (who is new to this blog). . . . Secret organizations, especially those located in underground bunkers, didn’t tend to afford their staff a lot of free time. This particular underground office was luxurious enough that Veronika could almost forget she … Read More Read More
The Other Side of the Coin The Other Side of the Coin By Megan Cutler | May 1, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Way in the long ago, a friend and I discussed how interesting it would be to pluck Domerin out of the world he’s familiar with and plunk him in the middle of a new one where everyone he knew was an evil version of themselves. Basically the fantasy equivalent of the evil goatee universe for … Read More Read More
Family is Forever Family is Forever By Megan Cutler | April 28, 2017 | Comments 1 comment I apologize that it took me so long to return to this particular story; I actually thought I had written more about this and it turns out I hadn’t ^^;; This is the long-awaited continuation of the story from You Don’t Have to Be Honest With Me and it also ties in nicely with the … Read More Read More
Never the Time; A Tale of Sloth Never the Time; A Tale of Sloth By Megan Cutler | April 21, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Continuing with my seven deadly sins series, here’s round two of Sloth featuring Zita. . . . Every Imatria library existed in a state of organized chaos. Some of the shelves were full of neatly ordered books, arranged according to an alphabet or dates or locations. Other shelves contained stacks of paper, rolled scrolls and … Read More Read More
Then and Now Then and Now By Megan Cutler | April 14, 2017 | Comments 2 comments I’ve come across this writing exercise several times but recently it struck a spark of inspiration. The idea is this; describe your character twice. Once to fall in love and once to be repulsed. I don’t tend to have my characters describe themselves, I usually have other characters describe them. These three elements were the … Read More Read More
Blood of the Chosen; A Tale of Wrath Blood of the Chosen; A Tale of Wrath By Megan Cutler | April 7, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment To an outside observer, the altar looked like nothing more than charred remains peeking from the ruins of some long forgotten temple. It was only when Reianna entered the timestream that she could see the walls gleaming almost iridescent with tiny pinpricks of glittering gold shining in the light. Blue-green torches flared on either side … Read More Read More
