"revered his grip" errr, close, but no cookie.
reversed i'd guess.

"Then the shieldwall would flesh"
i did not know a shieldwall could flesh, either i am once again no match for your linguistic skill or you typoed and meant flash.

two things in general:
is the shaving of the beard and making it into a weapon a thing in WHF or did you make that one up? because that's badass.

"save colored white instead of scarlet"
is that really gramatically correct? O.o

"lightclubs"
the hell?
how would that even work?
would that not simply be, by design and technology, a light sword with a wider blade?
because this is still laser/plasma right? so it will still melt/burn/cut through just about anything it hits correct?

"balding pate golden-skinned pate"
even without knowing what pate you mean, i think in this case one of them at least is wrong right?

can't find any other real errors in this one ^^

More or less, the understood meaning of "save" in this context is "except that it was."

Yeah, there's too many pates in that sentence.

They're a thing in the expanded universe, and yes, they're regular lightsabers...except that the handle is big, sturdy, and heavy enough to beat someone to death with. Hence the name.

Too tired to write today, and so this is the third week of fanfiction. Fuck, I'm lazy. Anyway, in keeping with the Earthdawn OSSR I thought it appropriate to dig out "The Last Liferock" from retirement: http://www.the-unpublishable.com/2014/0 ... erock.html

I haven't been keeping this thread updated. Mostly because the writing is shit these days.

I'm currently trying to remember what the Sheriff's office looks like.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

--The horror of Mario

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

<sigh> Okay, so the cannibal vegetarian Aztec thing I was working on didn't work out, so here is yet another Star Wars fanfic starring Eiven Task: Duel at Uto Academy. If I ever do another one, I'm working in those Transformers/Star Wars crossover figures. Giant Force-fueled mecha battles.

"cannibal vegetarian"
wat.
Task emptied the rest of the clip into that group, which felt to the snowy ground, steam pouring from the flash-fried meat that used to be their legs.
fell, not felt.
The whole place felt alive, even empty as it was, the wind whipping through it with a steady moan that rose and felt in strange patterns.
fell not felt.
The seven walked carefully, ever step in synch, blades outward to face any threat and not endanger the others with an errant swing.
every not ever
The drugs didn't take the edge off the pain, but they let him ignore it and keep moving, which is what he needed right now.
No mixing tenses, bad bobby!

Lazy day, just posting some of my old doodles. I stopped myself before I got to any of the ideas at play during the old Crypts of Chaos game.
