Yep, more horrible literature of mine from years gone by. This one’s called The Things, and was written in about 1998 or so. It really shows up how I was being influenced by Terry Pratchett, in regards to the humour and prodigious use of footnotes. :) Sorry it’s a pdf, but there’s no other easy… Read more
Here’s a whole bunch of immensely well written stories I wrote back in year 9 or so. I haven’t changed them at all; I’ve even left in the broken links, bad spelling, impossible grammar, and weird accreditations.

Geektree. Ah, Geektree. My god, where to begin… I guess the beginning works. But wait, no, that’s too cliche… let’s start in the middle – to hell with chronology or context! By our VCE years, Geektree was a thriving hub of activity. At our school, the venerable and prestigious Mount Eliza Secondary College, there was… Read more
I’d really like to get down into pixels some of my older memories, such as from high school and even beyond. One thing I’d really like to reminisce about is the Geektree, which will be my first entry (aside from this one). Hopefully I’ll find the time and motivation to continue this category with more… Read more
