[close] Here's something for if you've ever wondered where the missing children have gone. In the quiet countryside of East Hayle lays a deep wilderness known as the Red Woods. A place where people often go in never to come out, it is where the fairies live, protecting nature and all living creatures. Nestled deep within its heart lies Redwood Academy. Students learn to do magic, defend themselves, care for animals and plants and someday humans. The entry criteria to get into the Red Woods, let alone its academy is simple: you must contain stardust. The source of what gives them magic, while fairies have it in their very veins only a precious few humans ever contain enough, if any, to see past their technology and clouded minds. There is a precious few though, who will find themselves in Redwood Academy one way or another. Except, there are certain things they don't know yet... Join this roleplay group either as a fairy or a human and find your own future in the Red Woods!

[close] A book group devoted to reading and discussing novellas (one a month). Definition of NOVELLA 1) plural novelle : a story with a compact and pointed plot 2) plural usually novellas : a work of fiction intermediate in length and complexity between a short story and a novel A novella is a written, fictional, prose narrative longer than a novelette but shorter than a novel. While there is some disagreement as to what length defines a novella, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America Nebula Awards for science fiction define the novella as having a word count between 17,500 and 40,000.[1] Although the novella is a common literary genre in several European languages, it is less common in English. English-speaking readers may be most familiar with the novellas of H. G. Wells, particularly The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau, Henry James’ The Aspern Papers, The Turn of the Screw and Daisy Miller, John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men and Tortilla Flat, Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, Rebcca West’s The Return of the Soldier, Jack London’s The Call of the Wild, Thornton Wilder’s The Bridge of San Luis Rey, George Orwell's Animal Farm, Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's, Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Thomas Mann's Death in Venice, Philip Roth's Goodbye, Columbus and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Most of the best-known works of H. P. Lovecraft are novellas, including The Shadow out of Time, The Dunwich Horror and The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Like the English word "novel", the English word "novella" is derived from the Italian word "novella" (plural: "novelle"), for a tale, a piece of news. As the etymology suggests, novellas originally were news of town and country life worth repeating for amusement and edification.
