Fictional Leaders You May Or May Not Want in Charge!
The Good: Tony Stark (Iron Man): While most (all) leaders would flounder to attain Tony Stark’s dynamic blend of charismatic confidence, intellect and cyberespionage, he does impart a notable template of how to function as a professional, while remaining exceedingly personable and also outrageously riveting. One of the fundamental lessons from Tony Stark, is how to adapt, learn and then overcome. This is demonstrated in Iron Man 2 and then in The Avengers. We see Tony’s suit get ravaged when entangled in Whiplash’s electricity, yet when zapped by Thor’s thunder, the suit absorbs, converting it into devastating weaponized energy. He’s not encountering identical troubles twice! Additionally, Stark is a source of inspiration for his invaluable propensity for transforming every minute into a productive and triumphant one, and whilst sleep deprivation is not recommended, it sure did help Tony to construct multiple contemporary suits of armour, all with different capabilities to handle anything from bomb disposal to assistance in natural catastrophes, whilst he wrestled with the emotional trauma of almost perishing on a distant planet. Repeatedly our own leaders are criticised for not having a plan B or C, and in some unfortunate circumstances of haplessness, a plan A! Well, Iron Man always comes with a contingency programme. Whether that is summoning a fleet of iron suits to assist in a skirmish, manufacturing a nimble way to get in and out of his armour or developing profoundly durable Hulk resistant armaments should the notoriously unstable green machine rage violently out of control (which inevitably happened in Avengers: Age of Ultron). There are more than a few ways in which Tony Stark exhibits desirable leadership skills, and it cannot be argued that having him in power would lead to a technologically advanced, perpetually prepared and ultimately, more entertaining society!

Passing the Torch Arc One (Volume 1)
As my grandfather struck his hammer against the ember steel, the sparks that flew up; danced round the sky like a Chinese dragon during a New Year's parade. When it came to being a weapon smith, he managed to form every weapon without ever flinching. And never burning his face from the ricochet against the steel. It had been an exhausting voyage for any swordsman to reach the summit of Mount Shira to get the honorary steel of the Shira clan.

Morbius
Okay, I was inspired to do this by my daughter, who is also on vocal (M. N. Negus). She is currently doing a series turning the Avengers into playable Dungeons and Dragons characters. So, I thought I might as well do the villains, and who better to start with then my favorite Spiderman villain of all time (his movie happens to come out April 1st): Morbius the Living Vampire.

Boomstick
Heard the chime the moment he crossed the threshold. He looked at all the items in the store. Some were very common magical items, some were uncommon, but he new the good stuff was in the back. Nico didn't care for these things he was here for a special order. He reached the counter and noticed a little red haired girl sitting on top of it. She smiled at him.

Why I HATE Fanfiction
For a lot of us, the Vocal+ fiction awards represented one of the biggest competitions we have taken part in. Myself, I didn't even make it to the second stage. That may be part of the reason why I've stepped away from fiction for a little break.

"Fifty Shades of Grey" vs "Twilight"
By fanfiction we mean the continuation of a cult story by fans. Readers hungry for more material can continue the story, fill in the gaps, resurrect their favorites, create sequels or prequels. In the case of the fanfiction of “Twilight” by S. Meyer, or the infamous, inflated, “Fifty Shades of Grey” — where Grey stands for Grey but also for the surname of the icy, embalmed, stockfishic protagonist — more than a continuation it is a question of a parody by which the writer Erika James was carried away.

Why do we ship?
An age-old question: Why do we ship? As seen above, the artwork portraying Greek Gods Persephone and Hades showcases a softer, dually consensual and overall more romantic storyline for the least likeable and more tragic circumstances that originated in Greek mythology. The particularly gritty and heartbreaking story that is usually titled The Abduction of Persephone, is not for the faint hearted. To get yourself properly acquainted with this raw and unapologetic tale, please refer to this link:
