So I mentioned in a comment to something somewhere around here the other day that I wrote an epic poem once right?

I've also mentioned that I've done strict milieu-driven stories with no main character - letting the reader slip into that role.

I haven't previously mentioned that I've written a lot of stories that merge science fiction and fantasy elements into one.

Anyways, the idea has entered my head, and I'm starting to think up a nice little story in which I will marry all three of the above things to each other.

Dunno how long it'd be, probably not more than a longish short story, and it'll probably have to wait till I finish Open Your Heart... Though I may write them concurrently for a while and post the epic poem before Open Your Heart concludes.

It'll be a transformation story with lots of fun little riddles and puzzles that get solved in order to progress towards the conclusion.

The last time I did an epic poem transformation story it made heavy use of Native American folklore and was about a boy who wanted to become stronger and wound up transforming into an "eagle" man at the conclusion of the story. This time... you'll just have to wait and see!

Alas, though I still have the paper mache "head" that I wrote the previous story to go along with all as part of an art project, I have long since lost the story, so even if anyone would be interested in reading my last foray into this writing style, I cannot provide it to you. It had absolutely no TG in it anyways. Weak boy to strong eagle man transformation is as far from a story appropriate to this site as you can get, I would think.

Anyways, comments if you wish, not if you don't. I don't suspect this kind of story will garner much interest, but then I was quite pleasantly surprised at the reception Open Your Heart is getting so far.
