Aug. 16th, 2007 04:17 pmAttention anyone who might be reading:
I follow a really awesome original fiction serial on livejournal called Tales of MU. The MU stands for Magisterius University, and the story is about a half-human girl starting her freshman year there. (You have to read the story to find out what her other half is, MUAHAHAHAHA! Ha. Ha. Um. Or, you could just check the end of chapter 12, if you really want to find out that badly.) The university is set in a world (vaguely inspired by Dungeons & Dragons) where there was an equivalent to our Industrial Revolution, but fueled by magic instead of science. It superficially appears to be like our world, but the differences become ever more pronounced as you get deeper into the story, and discovering them is one of my favorite things. (To give a rather tame example, televisions and refrigerators still have the same names because their names describe what they do- seeing at a distance and cooling things, respectively. However, their equivalent of a microwave is called a "food warmer" because the name "microwave" describes how it works, and there is no such thing as microwaves in that universe.)The characters are wonderfully drawn, and the author is incredible: since June 5, she's written the equivalent of two short novels, not to mention her other projects. It does get a little graphic at times, but it is uniformly well-written and generally awesome. So, if anyone ever reads this, the link is here: http://mutales.livejournal.com/
