Current Fortress[edit]
Title Page:[edit]
When I have something worthwhile hapen, I'll do a drawing for a genuine cover, and give it an appropriate title.
Preface:[edit]
I have an idea for a DF-inspired work of fiction. DF is fun on it's own, but it's when we get to telling stories about what we've seen and done that things really get entertaining. Most of us got pulled in by the stories of Boatmurdered, and that was done in an OLD version of the game! But I believe we can do better. Pretty much all of the DF writing I've read is either D for Dwarf content on the wiki, or written from the perspective of the player, frequently as the "leader" of the fortress. I want to do something different. I want to explore, from a first-person perspective, the lives of the dwarves, in close detail. What's it like for seven-year-old Medtobonul, wandering stone halls and observing statues of his grandparents being eviscerated by demons? I don't want there to be a single narrative, that would just be too isolated, it wouldn't really give the full scope impression of all the life in a given fortress. Rather, there shall be many narratives. Bits and scraps, like bits of old journals, engravings on walls... Sort of like ghosts or memories of something huge, something grand. Something deeper than just a simple (and violent) game. I want to tell stories about the down time, the (currently) non-existent barroom conversations, the travelling, the politics... Not just the horrible accidents.
