BBC Claims, 'It’s Too Early' to Confirm A 'Doctor Who' Christmas Special This Year
Doctor Who, the BBC’s longest running science fiction show, has a place in every fans heart since it launched back in 1963 on BBC One. Ever since the very first story featuring William Hartnell as the first doctor, “An Unearthly Child,” the Doctor has had many faces, many lives, and they’ve all been truly wonderful and unique.

High Mountain Pack (Ch. 2)
It had been a half hour jog back down the mountain and into town and yet I couldn't get the feeling of Aaron being so close to go away. I hated myself for feeling this way. I didn't want anyone to make me feel this way, much less the Alpha. I had no intention of ending up with those kinds of responsibilities. Besides, its not like he would want me anyway. I was far from the most beautiful woman in town and I was to tall. I was only a couple inches shorter then Aaron who was around 6'5". Growing up I was always picked on because women weren't supposed to be taller then most of the men in town. At 6'2" that meant I was taller then most of the men in town, except Aaron.

Review of 'Outlander' 4.1
Outlander's return with episode 4.1 was all too relevant and excellent, at turns splendid and brutal, which is the way Outlander has always told its stories.

The Life and Times of an Atheist
Being an atheist is definitely not a barrel of laughs. It can be distressing sometimes, and highly frustrating. I’m going to engage in a little bit of therapy, and try to deal with my “atheist issues” by writing about them. Bearing in mind that there are probably others in the world who might feel the same way I do, I’m going to publish my thoughts. Hopefully, they will prove helpful to a few people. If not, I’ll settle for entertaining! Please come along with me on this journey. I have no idea where it will go. I may be ranting about bigotry one day, moaning about politicians or celebrities the next. It won’t all be negative. I would like to dispel the notion, often spread by the religious, that we atheists are a miserable lot. It’s simply not true. I’m as cheery as you can get (well, usually!)

The Two Mysteries of Our World
This drawing I started was one of a kind for me. I had a friend come up to me and ask if I can make a tattoo design for her, not knowing what I was getting myself into.

Kiss Before Dying
James Mitchell entered through the main entrance of the Institute for Paranormal Studies. As he passed by doors labeled “Introduction to Magic” and “Vampiric Lore,” the admittedly nerdy side of his personality was intrigued by the prospect of learning about the paranormal.

The Alien and the Kid
One evening just before dinner, a young boy stood outside throwing a yellow tennis ball into the air and catching it with his hand. He tossed it up into the air and then caught it. Upon tossing it up into the air, though, the soft ball disappeared. He looked up and saw a glistening silver object. The ball floated down to him, not tossed. The boy caught the ball and ran from the silver object. He hid behind the trash bins and watched from his hiding space.

Dragon Lance - Chapter 8
Three hours later with a short break to water and rest the horses as well as themselves, they found themselves at a crossroad waiting for the troop from Knights of The Mystic Dragon. They dismounted stretching their legs as a lone horseman rode toward them a moment later. He stopped his horse a few yards back from them, the horse seeming a little on edge as it sidestepped, neighing and pawing at the ground.

Beatitudinem
The Beginning—Chapter 1 If you’re reading this, then I’m dead but my story will live on. I’ll start at the beginning. I was the only baby born at home in the history of Eden. March 17th 3020. Who would’ve known that twenty years later I would be in a war. A war with an army I would build.

Some say too much, while most even those who say that will still go and see whatever it is they make. Because heck, it's Star Wars!

Dragon Lance - Chapter 7
About twenty minutes later, Celty was dismounting and leading her horse through the small village of Slycrest. She thought with the way Kirito explained it he was at the East entrance, but apparently not. Then again, he could have gone to check something out or ran into trouble. She hoped that the latter of the two was not the case, not that she had to worry about Kirito he could very much take care of his own. She just knew the type that hung out in the village and she did not want to draw too much attention to herself with her long absence. She was sure some people might be looking for her. One in particular. Creed.
