Lamont Cranstodian. WHO KNOWS WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN?
Good lord. E2D2, via in10se, has told me I have written over a million words on this website.
APPARENTLY I MUST NOW MAKE THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICALLY CLEAR. All my work, repeat, ALL my work on this website is All Rights Reserved unless otherwise indicated on the content itself.
Nodes read aloud by, er, well, me:
Weak and desperate from decades of commuting the djinn would barter all for a coffee and a friendly ear
The Raven - the Edgar Allan Porn version (part 1, part 2)
She does not know how much I need this
A "behind the barn" sort of thing
Chase Scene
...more coming. Eventually, hopefully, there will be a place/nodetype for these sorts of links; I'm assured it's in the works.
roro.
For those of you looking for things to node, I have a little list of things I'd love to see here.
Look through my eyes! See Everything2 the way I see Everything2!
Wired's Danger Room blog thinks I'm a naval pundit. Poor unfortunate souls.

Brought down as White, kept down as Black, brought up as None, left with me
July 26, 2002
Beginning: Sertraline
Everything2 is a place I've spent too much time. Or not enough. Or both. It's a place where I don't automatically trust the facts I get - but it's always one of the first places I turn to look for them, because looking for an answer and getting back just that answer is the sterility of despair, most of the time.
There are some amazing writers here, and naturally, there is some incredible writing. Here is some of it.
The future like a corpse in snow
Things nobody tells you about the South Pole
Happy Birthday from Planet Motherfucker
We Can Meet Her For You Wholesale: A Dreaming Girl's Singularity
Psalms of the Convenience Store Clerk: Pump Three on the Fritz Again
in which lead gliders freeze against the sun for 0981 seconds of Earth-shattering beauty
One last kiss before the long goodbye
you want to use blood; i say we use devotion
If you like rock and roll, read dannye's piece in Better than Ezra, then read riverrun's I caught the football.
How to behave at a Japanese sword show
the lovesong of distant satellites
I figured things would be okay once the werewolf started to cry
Kizor says I've been playing X-Com: UFO Defense, a 1994 strategy game and the best of its kind. One has to name a lot of soldiers to keep track of them.
Kizor says You did very well and achieved officer rank until a ground assault on a downed alien terror ship, along with iceowl, Wntrmute and some other people. There you got a claw stuck through your power armor, were converted into a shambling monstrosity as an incubator for the thing the claw injected into your abdomen, caught hot plasma, were torn to ribbons as said thing tried to leave and probably got its bodily fluids over you when it was stopped.
Kizor says Sorry about that.
Less Formal Writing mais Genius Still
2003.10.27: (I post a joke node titled Velcro Mittens in response to a discussion in the catbox about...well, you can guess.) Then:
2003.10.27 at 05:29 jessicapierce says re Velcro mittens: OKYOU TOTALLY GOT ME
2003.10.27 at 05:31 jessicapierce says re Velcro mittens: wtf is a cvelcro mittne

2003.10.27 at 06:13 jessicapierce says dood thats so dirty i have to go to sleep now
Below the line: here for pride not presentation, works of mine. Read; but look elsewhere for education on the workings of the writer's craft, for here will you find only bits of textual wood, tossed aside for lack of heft and due in time to burn.
::Multi-node and related stories::
You may be here because you clicked a link in a fiction node that said 'More.' If so, this is your section. I have a few multipart pieces I'm working on, and rather than update bunches of nav templates at the bottom of each node, I'm going to have them point to here.
Park Ethereal
This is an unfinished novel that dates back almost two decades. It was my first online writing. I'm going to start posting it here a chapter at a time since the server it was on ate itself.
- Ch. 1 - Park Ethereal
- Ch. 2 - Madison Angel
- Ch. 3 - Flashlight Fable
- Ch. 4 - Park Avenue Downtime
- Ch. 5 - On the Wrack
- Ch. 6 - Edit Decision
- Ch. 7 - Intrusion
- Ch. 8 - Jumpgun
- Ch. 9 - Recognized
- Ch. 10 - Fire and forget
- Ch. 11 - Tunnel vision
- Ch. 12 - Where and when
- Ch. 13 - Human contact
- Ch. 14 - Witness Relocation
Override
This has hit three connected stories, which means I guess it gets to move up here. The original story, State Override, was once a series of several posts but was consolidated following editing.
- We will unmake the world with a whisper, with a scream
- State Override (SciFiQuest)
- Gravity and hubris conspire against all rocket science
- Those of us who are thieves starve without a joker in our deck.
- The smell of burning wires every astronaut fears
- He thinks a path and travels the emptiness that was there
- All lost lights limped on into the limitless dark
- Take these broken wings and learn to fly again
- This world might be saved, if only for the children (SciFiQuest)
- Losing friends and winning enemies
- One steps forward, three step back
- Stand and unfold yourself
- Flower of Autumn
The Benthic Wars
Inspired by Charles Stross, especially A Colder War. Birthed by alcohol. Nurtured by Iron Noder. There's something down there.
- SPECWEAPS
- DEEP BLACK
- PRIOR TENANT
- BENTHIC OUTREACH
- PORTAL/ALEPH
- VIOLET CAIN
- SAKNUSSEM THUNDER
- INDRA NEPTUNE
The I Dunno What These Are New York Magician Series (as named by GhettoAardvark)

- Someone to Pull the Trigger
- Yet The Sun Still Rose
- A thousand winding stairs lead down before us
- Making islands to have new seashores

- Huddled shoulders and bent backs, like so many shadows
- the slow creeping menace of masked justice along Manhattan depths
- Evolution unfolding in Queens, New York
- So there is death in my voice; what of it?
- every statue in town came to life, but they'd been watching long enough to know better than to ever move
- On second thought, maybe I'd rather be dangerous
- I want my trail to grow over and disappear, but now someone is reading it.
- Escape and Evasion through the subways of time gone by
- That too long hour never dim enough until sleep
- For tactical reasons, we do not currently advocate the use of violence or sorcery against private individuals.
- Were there nine moons above your head? Were there none?
- I want to lose myself in the words or the words of someone else
- Despite her station, the quarry was never alone
- you never felt her hot blood on your face but, hey, who's keeping track
- One to follow, one to gain; one to weather, one to drain
- The Moment You Realize it's Personal
- You Can Hear the Sound of the Underground Trains
- You Know it Feels Like Distant Thunder
- You know there's so many people living in this house
- And I don't even know their names
- Walls so thin, I can almost hear them breathing
- And if I listen in, I feel my own heart beating
The Angel Cycle
The Angel Cycle violates an astonishing number of Turkey City Lexicon commandments. I could weasel and say that this was because it was begun when I was very young and the need for consistent tone has done this, but I'd rather be honest and admit it's pure self-indulgence.
- Angel Making
- Angel Passing
- Angel's Tide
- Guardian of the Angel
- The Angel's Voice
- Bullet Train
Working Title: Namedropping
- Watchman's Stone
- Transcendence through Anonymity

- Press Space Two Continuum
- Ceci n'est pas un homme, ce chasseur.
- Downsiding the silvered plane
- Retro burn for Molly Brown
- Colocation Felicity
- As the clocks were striking the hour
- At midnight, all the secret agents
- Time filled with encounters that leave no mark on us
- Seeking solace in a city's corpse
- Dreams Walking in Broad Daylight
- All will be devoured within the jaws of terrible time
- Tempus fugit non volit
- I heard a light sigh and then my heart stood still
- A sailless ship drifts adown the stream freighted with hope and fear
- Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
- A Fate turned sharply, Key in Lock
- A Litany of mechanistic worship and prayers for safe return
