My Life as a God:
Lust Talk with Quont - 8
Incubus Frost: Not Just a Name, It's a Lifestyle.-- Explore My View of The Multiverses With Me.-- It's the Fantasy Wride of a Lifetime!
Frost is on the Scene again as Anemo and Vickie chase Canu and I across Mernac {their vacation, our race}.
I’ve answered some of this question in the post I wrote earlier: On Fantasy as a Way of Life. But that, of course, is not the specific answer to Mernac.
Last fall {Fall 2006} my all-time favourite mail server, Gmail, provided me a clue with its sponsored links in my email inbox. There it was: the link that might change my life!
www.mernac.com: Free Fantasy Fiction
This suddenly offered all three of my most favourite {and essential elements}:
Fantasy
Fiction
Free
which meant I already had an interest, and I could afford to visit the site and maybe even to participate.
So of course, I dropped everything and clicked on the link;
And voila!
I could write for Mernac too,
Not just read at Mernac!
What more could one frustrated fantasy fiction writer ask?
Not much!
Although of course then I discovered the Discipleship Classified Ads;
I applied for the Chief of Consistency position, which I thought appropriate because that would entail reading tons and tons of Mernac Legends, Lore, Characters, Items, Places, ad infinitum.
How much more pleasure could one reader attain?
Well, Father Quont, who had previously been in charge of that particular role, had instead passed it off to the excellent Father Elsen. So I was offered a choice: to apply to Elsen to be Chief of Consistency,
Or to allow Quont to transform me into a {indrawn breath}
Erotic Functionary?
Well, the promise of Writing impelled me; I had already spent well over a year reviewing Erotic fiction, so why not learn to write it {and practise it}
as well?
Why not indeed?
So here I am, firmly {one hopes} established in Disciplehood, Incubating Incubus Character and Legends, and running after other Gods to beg to use their Characters in my stories.
As Captain Jonathan Archer likes to add on Enterprise,
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Two new stories have been posted in the S2S Character Forum for reading, reviewing, critiquing, and polishing hints from my fellow Mernacians.

Stop in and lend me your eyes-your ears-your mind-and your critiques.
This is my motto for life.
I’ve been a proponent of the fantasy genre probably as long as I’ve been alive. When other children outgrew their imaginary playmates, Guardian Angels, and magical thinking, I never did. I still believe. And because I believe in Fantasy, I read Fantasy, I write Fantasy, I live Fantasy.
My first memories are of reading: walking the aisles of the Library, seeking out knowledge, wisdom, and most importantly, escape-escape to another reality, another time, another place. Here is where my initial interests in Fantasy as a genre expanded to included Science Fiction, Horror, and Paranormal; Historical, Supernatural, Occult—anything but non-fiction, which generally is too close to consensus reality to interest me, or to provide an escape.
The first novel I remember reading wasn’t actually a children’s book. Andre Norton’s wonderful Lord of Thunder, a science-fiction novel which I consider to have elements of fantasy. Reading it, I was immediately transported to a different world, one with exciting characters who earned my empathy, action-adventure, and best of all, writing that enabled my escape from the Real World. And after all, isn’t that what the best fiction is all about? At least it is, for me.
