http://k0.johanssons.org A repository for Moira's fevered scribblings. Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:00:11 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Once I played in a Savage Worlds supervillain game called Necessary Evil.  Aliens had invaded Earth and slaughtered all the superheroes, leaving only the villains to form a resistance.  I'm not often fond of assassin characters, but I thought Shen Xia Lin was interesting enough to run with it.  Her ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=43 This one's from... oh, a while back. File metadata says it's 01/11/2008 but that can't be right. It's years older than that. It was my first sword fight. The weather was not cooperating. Not that that was all that surprising. It was, after all, late summer, and no one but the ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=36 Dark. It was nearly always dark under the mountain. Nothing that lived there – and you can be sure that something lived there for if one thing is certain, it is that life can be found in some very surprising places – needed light to see by. Sight was such ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=33 While this story was written as a background story for a Changeling game (as oh so very many of my stories are) I was careful to leave out anything that's specific to Changeling and, therefore, subject to copyright and trademark law. It's more 'inspired by' than 'based on.' It was ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=32 Katie Messier (why yes, she is named after Mark Messier, star centre for the Edmonton Oilers ((and other teams, but we don't talk about that)), aren't you clever? Have a cookie.) is a monster and is just fine with it. Me? It's not like I always wanted to ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=31 "Castiza" is taken from the Jacobean play The Revenger's Tragedy by way of Pamela Dean's Tam Lin. The core characters of the play aren't characters so much as archetypes, and Castiza is chastity. She's a World of Warcraft character, an undead priest on Steamwheedle Cartel. Most undead ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=10 Written in 2006 for a Hallow's End (the in-game holiday corresponding to Hallowe'en) story-writing contest on the Steamwheedle Cartel realm forum on the official World of Warcraft site. I didn't win, but I liked how the story came out. Writing it was fun, trying to stay under the ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=9 This was inspired by a friend's birthday in 2006. I wrote it for her, though I don't know if she ever read it. Other people have, and the general opinion of it seems to be "That's really fucked up." Have fun. "Mommy?" "Mommy, wake up." "Mommy!" The girl climbed up on the bed and ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=8 This began in 2005 as part of a character application at Seradus, but took on its own life. It's the first erotic story that I'm actually pleased with."The Book of Ruth" contains graphic images of sex and blood, masturbation and homosexuality. If these things disturb you, perhaps you should be ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=7 This was written in 2006 as a character background for a Vampire: the Requiem game that never got started. It was set in pre-Katrina New Orleans. There's more that I'm still working on, and will (I hope) publish later. I've got my own ideas about vampires ... http://k0.johanssons.org/?p=6
