More world building! I like doing stories about people who show up in novel 2, helps me finish getting inside their head. Hopefully you enjoy reading it. ------------------------------------------------ The sound of black powder weapons firing echoed off the stone walls of Lateral Esplanade, the main … Continue reading A Girl of Ill Repute

Political Convention
This is probably flavour text rather than a story. More for the Craneverse. Largely a braindump so I can remember how Rand City works, but you might like it anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Must we go through this charade every time we pass a new law?' the … Continue reading Political Convention
The Home Dining Experience
I done a new story! It's been a while since I've written anything, university getting in the way and generally being annoying, but I've found the time to get one done at last. As with a lot of the shorts I do, this one is … Continue reading The Home Dining Experience
Childhood Thievery – Part 10
Here we are, the final part to this little webnovella. I may bookend this with a little epilude (like an epilogue but in keeping with my interludes), but I'm not sure whether it needs it yet. I don't think I'm done with Leander Crane though, … Continue reading Childhood Thievery – Part 10
Childhood Thievery – Part 9
Crikey, I'm pumping these out now, eh? Oh, and the reason the thing isn't properly justified this time is a wordpress issue. Wasn't letting me copy things across for some reason, but I'm sure you can make do 🙂 ------------------------------------------------ Any number of things can … Continue reading Childhood Thievery – Part 9
Childhood Thievery – Interlude 2
Another Interlude. This one hasn't been caused by any real-life intervention, like the last one, but I felt I needed to expand the story a little. Just like the last one, it is completely unnecessary in regards to the full story of Childhood Thievery, it's … Continue reading Childhood Thievery – Interlude 2
Childhood Thievery – Part 8
Some actual thievery today. Also, a slightly longer chapter. -------------------------------------------------- In contrast with its name, the Dark Market is actually quite well lit. As the more astute will have guessed, however, the name is more to do with the nature of the merchandise than its … Continue reading Childhood Thievery – Part 8
Childhood Thievery: Part 7
I'm guessing there may be three more chapters to go. --------------------------------------------------------- After seeing to the young trollop, I drifted off into a deep sleep. I hadn't slept properly for at least a few weeks, plotting tends to make my mind race and that usually makes … Continue reading Childhood Thievery: Part 7
Childhood Thievery: Part 6
Is it worrying that both my webnovellas feature prostitutes? ----------------------------------------------------------- What is often overlooked about conspiracy theories is that, eventually, one of them will actually be correct. Of all the theories going round at any given moment, perhaps one of them will be true. The … Continue reading Childhood Thievery: Part 6
Childhood Thievery: Part 5
Because you haven't had a proper chapter for a bit, today's chapter is almost twice the length of the others. I'm being critical of my work again, so I won't say too much, don't want to force myself out of love with the project so … Continue reading Childhood Thievery: Part 5
