Keepin' it real.

Hey, an anthology I'm part of is being Kickstarted right now! It's another fairy tales book, this time African instead of European tales, and it's got some amazing names attached, go have a look! 

Cast: Ethan Booth

    So... Ethans the one in the relationship that twists Ryans' words to make it an insult.


    I've worked fifty-hour weeks. They no fun, dude.

      When i worked for AMI, i hit more than one eighty-hour week.


      He said that, in retrospect, Ryan was probably right.


      ================


      I guess that, even though it's in the future, this is a flashback.

        Time Travel's fun, though this occurred in his linear past, so flashback would be right.

    The perpetual issues between "time for ambitions" and "time for relationships" :|

    Looks like he got what he wanted.

          Thank you~!

    So I was right. He's unpleasant all of the time, not just with our green-haired protagonist. :)

    I'm curious about what life in the 2030s are like here, where they are advertising that you're in a magic-free zone while offering Tesla-esque power for your devices along with connectivity.


    Any chance we'll see more stories set in this time?

    I want a coat like that.

    I wonder if the magic shielding is technology or magic? Perhaps imbued with a spirit of paranoia...


    Or maybe a spirit of dedication/focus, assuming positive spirits even exist...

    • BrokenEye 12 years ago archived

      Its like a faraday cage, only its made from cold iron or octiron or something


      Also: wise person once say, any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from scien—*ahem*, sorry... indistinguishable from *SCIENCE!!!!* (there's a difference, you know)

    The sign above the door (and the name on the mug Ethan's drinking from) says "Ruby Tuesdays" (which incidentally is very similar in name to an American restaurant chain: http://www.rubytuesday.com/) "http://www.rubytuesday.com/)"), so this is probably a cafe in Widdershins, otherwise unrelated to Gula.

    • Fairportfan 12 years ago archived

      Ruby Tuesday's has locations in the UK

      • Kate A 12 years ago archived

        Will be perfectly honest, I had no idea it was a chain restaurant, I was just listening to Forty Licks while colouring that part, and it's a better name for a cafe than "Street Fightin' Man".

        • Cauchemarie 12 years ago archived

          And 'Brown Sugar' would be a bit too obvious.

          • Kate A 12 years ago archived

            Haha, that was the name of a place near my house at Uni. Then you look up the song's lyrics and go 'uh..'

        • Fairportfan 12 years ago archived

          Heh.

    The way things are going the entire UK will be living off tourism by 2032. "Come and see the great British Heritage Centre and Nature Reserve. Open 9:30 to 6.00 every day except Christmas Day."

      You have just described my hometown (York) with eerie precision.

      • Kate A 12 years ago archived

        York is super pretty though :) Nearly went to uni there!

    So here we are again... it's always such a pleasure.

    I love it when the future doesn't look very futurish. Where all the styles are just copies of some other decade that hasn't quite rolled around yet in the eternal cycle of retro-chique... and the technology advancements are all hidden beneath a bland and ordinary surface.

    I sincerely hope coats like that come into fashion by 2032
