First of the reader submissions made it in! See if you can spot them!
iv. The lie of the small light
Hansa was of sound mind and proud soul and only once asked YISUN a conceited question, when he was very old and his bones were set about with the dust and bent with age. It was about his own death.
“Lord,” said Hansa, allowing a doubt to blossom, “What is ending?”
It was said later he regretted this question but none could confirm the suspicion.
“Ending is a small light in a vast cavern growing dim,” said YISUN, plainly, as was the manner.
“When the light goes out, what will happen to the cavern?”
“It and the universe will cease to exist, for how can we see anything without any light, no matter how small?” said YISUN. Hansa was somewhat dismayed, but sensed a lesson, as was the manner.
“Darkness is the natural state of caverns,” said he, vexingly, “if I were a cavern, I would be glad to be rid of the pest of light and exist obstinately anyway!”
“Hansa is observant,” said YISUN.

So… is that like the blogosphere? Or something?
The blogosphere is much like the glyphosphere, in the same way that a newspaper is like unto meditating upon the concept of harmoniously entangling one’s thoughts with the nature of inevitability
The vile soothsayer, sycophant and hedonist Lo-Jen’je is a banker? How… appropriate. I wonder what the process of taking out a loan from him involves?
If ‘Preem’ is a shortening of ‘supreme’, I do wonder what ‘Yot’ refers to. No doubt it is unflattering.
It seems the resident fanfiction author has gotten to work already!
just a suggestion : Please keep a link to the mainsite in your tumblr offering.
Ill get around to actually submitting…just not yet. 😛
Man. All those guys were so rude. They just kept interrupting that one guy.
I’ll not stand idly by and be denied my proper place whilst others seek to glorify themselves. I am a true knight of the Geas, oathsworn and oathbound. Perhaps a mendicant would remain silent and allow themselves to pass unnoticed, as is their way, but that is not my order. I cannot and will not allow trifles of etiquette to obstruct my duty.
Let it be known, that on this day the Haberdasher’s Guild and the Coalition of Wax Drippers were championed by INGVSLD, who took the mantle of this responsibility with the same solemnity as his geas!
I’m not sure what we’re supposed to look for. What do reader submissions entail?
Characters. Krismayana, the Lady of Itching Snow, Lo-Jenje, and Ingvsld are all reader-submitted characters. Of course, once the veneer of civility comes off, they’re all likely to be *dead* characters, but that’s just the way things go.
Just finished reading this recently, and I have to say, I’m rather enjoying it. I kiiiinda get a Barlowe-esque feel off of some the critters, TBH.
What a pleasure! My villein’s anamnesis failed me not with the telling of the Lady’s appearance!
Everyones come for her and inards are going to be spilt over the prize in her head.
I suppose it’s no coincidence that the various guild representatives remind me of several of the members of the Seven…?
Beakies!
