The Literotica site seems to have some (relatively) recent activity, two additional chapters that are not at SOL (as of this post).

Back in June 2005 and Feb 2006 Sancria asked about a story called "The Persistence of Time" by Jim Cannon, a "crossover of everything from Nightbane, Highlander, Gargoyle, Vampire, Werewolf, and Faerie, as well as some plain magic and even Wraith".

I tried to find a copy back in 2006 but was doomed to failure - Jim's site "The Gargoyle Roost" is gone and The Wayback Machine did not archive the link to that particular story.

BUT...

I recently did another search and found that it has re-emerged on the Net!
If you've also been seeking this classic, go to http://www.temporalnexus.net/multiverse ... /index.php

40 chapters are listed, but only the first 16 have valid links as yet. I'm not sure why - I never got the original so I can't say for sure whether the later chapters were even written.

Have fun, and if you know about the status of the later chapters, please tell me!

Thanx a lot for the link. I just devoured my way through the 16 chapters. Can't quite understand the reasons behind taking down such an excellent story, but I feel lucky I didn't totally miss it. will keep an eye out for the remaining 24 chaps

It seemed that the author just dropped off the net.

Hi all,

I am searching or two books I read in my youth - probably what set me on the path of SF/F. I read them in the early nineties in a small public library, so I have no idea what year they were published - neither do I recall authors or titles...

The first one was a science fiction novel. The hero was one of a band of mutants on an post-apocalyptic earth. He, was more or less "normal", except for his telepathic and telekinetic powers. Pretty soon he left his tribe, and discovered a huge bunker-city, where civilisation still thrived. But this city was ruled by a tyrann, like a police-state. The tyrann lived apart, in a shielded command post. Many had tried to breach his security, and died. The hero however manages it during the end of the book.

But it turns out that the tyrann is actually benevolent. A race of advanced wasp-like aliens wanted to conquer earth - their only weakness was that they were more susceptible to radiation than mankind. So this guy keeps the surface of the earth irradiated with the help of a huge stockpile of cobalt-bombs, because he has calculated that the civilisation of the aliens will collapse in the future (future being a couple of thousand years or so). He keeps civilisation going in the bunker, and when somebody manages to reach the command center, he gets to take over as tyrann...

The second book was fantasy - it was a series or maybe a trilogy. The protagonists were a brother and sister. He was supposed to become a mage, she a fighter. Only he wasn't interested in magic but she was. Furthermore it was forbidden for women to learn or practice magic. So she disguised herself as a boy, and went of to the school o magic, while he went on to become a fighter...
The book mainly focused on her, I think, and how she managed to keep her secret and learn magic.

So, anyone ever heard of these?
Cheers,
Borsic

Never heard of the first one, the second one however sounds a lot like one I have read except the genders were the other way around, it was the girl that wanted to be a fighter (knight actually) and the boy wanted to be a mage.... I'll see if I can find it real quick, I believe the first book of the series (it had 4 or 5 books total) was the girls name... Alanna or something like that. I'll be back in a bit with more details if I can find it.

edit: ok I found it fairly easy, The one you're looking for (assuming I'm right and you got the genders reversed) is the Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce. The first book was Alanna: the first adventure.

Here's a link to more info on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Song_of_the_Lioness

By golly, I think you are right!

Thank you so much - I loved that book when I was little. It will be nice to see how I see it now that I am all grown up

Thanks a lot, gesit! I'll be on the lookout or it...

I am looking for a book i read about 10 years ago. In it a group of scientists think that they found a way to go to another universe and sent one of their number through with a robot and some supplies to explore.

The interesting part to teh story is that in this world the more you used something the better it got at what you were using it for, the ultimate 'Practice makes perfect' scenario. The most comfortable clothes were the ones made centuries before. They fortify their walls by walking around them and hitting them with clubs etc...

If this sparks anyones mind please let me know.

That's The Practice Effect by David Brin

Sounds really weird.
Do people live really long there because of that effect?
Seems like they should.
What about aging?

no, basicly as you use something it becomes better for what your using it as. Of course if you don't use it it degenerates. It hinges on understanding, and living things are very complex.

Hi All
Thanks Fel for keeping me amused and engrossed for ages.
I am not sure this is the right place... I am looking for an author called Terriblethom who used to be on Storonline but now isnt, he had a couple of good stories, Shamus journals and Oh Hell No!, anybody any idea of his wereabouts.
Thanks
