A Slow Death…

Monday, October 1, 2007

You may have noticed this blog dying a slow death.
There’s a reason I haven’t been posting much here, besides author birthdays, lately.  Beyond the fact that I’ve been battling cancer, this site has grown in a chaotic way and in directions I did not intend.  What’s more, the name no longer describes what I intend [...]

Fantasy Novel Title Generator

Friday, February 10, 2006

For a change, this isn’t one of mine!
Though there are several generators here at Fantasist.net, including a title generator, today’s Friday Fun Link comes from off-site. This one arrives via a link on the excellent blog, Shaken & Stirred, and is called, simply, Fantasy Novel Title Generator.
Yeah, that’s it. What do you want [...]

Ha! I’m kidding about that. There is no werewolf season! You can shoot them anytime. But, only if you have a silver bullet. Not exactlly something you can pick up at the local gun store. So, what’s a would-be werewolf kilelr to do? [...]

Crass E-Commerce

Monday, August 16, 2004

You may have noticed a change here at Fantasist.net.
Namely, the fact that there are now advertisements. Well, frankly, it just can’t be helped anymore. So far, in over five years of having this site, less than ten people have bought books from my Amazon.com store, no one has bought anything from the CafePress [...]

ConLang Rosetta Stone

Friday, April 16, 2004

A “do-it-yourself” Rosetta stone!
For those of you who are already familiar with my conlang resources, you know that they’re mostly based on scripts originally written by Chris Pound. Well, one of the scripts he wrote was to automatically transliterate a text into a more or less realistic conlang text that’s generated on the fly. [...]

Home again

Saturday, November 23, 2002

Well, for those of you who noticed, or cared, we’ve moved to a new home!
That’s right, Fantasist.net has changed ISPs, more or less successfully! Yea! It took a little doing, but I think it was worth it. Certainly, MovableType was easy enough to move. I can’t say enough about how relieved [...]

Updates, Home and Away

Sunday, October 20, 2002

Well, I’ve been a busy bee this week. I have a couple of updates, both on and off Fantasist.net.
On this site, I’ve updated the Cartography page. I added in a neat map that illustrates an idea I had for a world creation myth. I imagined a god stamping out evil, in a way, by smashing [...]
