I've named my fictional universe and the stories that go into it. I call it the "Lordship Series" because the stories have to do with power struggle in one way or another. The symbol for the Lordship Series is a dragon and a rose. In my mind both represent a form of power in one way or another but show different sides.
The main characters of my stories are Tom Slether, Alastor Cromwell, Lord Moriya Slether, James Wong, and Sir John M. Teatime. Teatime and Wong are the characters most featured in my stories because of the influence they have over my stories but they are certainly not the most important. Most of my focus characters are from the Slether family, a royal house from Avalon that is practically gone because most of the people within the family have abandoned their posts to live their lives instead of having to wear tights all the time.
I write in a witty kind of way because I don't take my stuff really seriously. If I did it'd be terribly dark and brutal but also very cheesy. At least with my style I can write in a way that I KNOW is cheesy rather than trying to write seriously. Some have compared me to Pratchett.
Themes--eh. Themes are totally up to interpretation because I write about all sorts of crap mixed together. I cover government, religion, philosophy, and race but in a perfectly non-iffy way. I'd say a major theme within the Teatime vs. Wong story line is love vs. hate. Teatime embodying love, equality, and commitment while Wong embodies anger, self-indulgence, and hate. It wasn't really purposelessly that I did that. It just ended up like that.
A lot of my stuff are kind of rip offs and tributes to some of my favorite crap but I try to warp it and throw it around a lot till you can't really recognize it anymore. For some of my things I can't really trace my inspiration but I think the most obvious would have to be Lord Maximilian Moores and Talt. Moores being something of a much more intense Cutler Beckett and Talt being a parody and tribute to the guides from Zelda, especially Midna. (Two major secondary characters.)
My main focus has and probably always will be the M-Pire series because that's the heart and soul of the Lordship series. It started as some silly, childish, 6th grade fantasy that I could dream up after I was done with my tests but now it's going down onto Microsoft word. I would have to say that the crap I dreamed up is totally unrecognizable from what I have today but the major characters and plot line are still the same. Moriya aka M has taken over the world now a country called Avalon rebels against it until it's all out global civil war. Originally it was supposed to be a Sci-Fi story set in modern day earth but now it's a science fantasy/alternative history blur that possibly takes place in the modern day world.
I owe my progression to silly stories to a serious writer to the character of James Wong, I really do. A man who started off as a stereotypical joke that somehow found his way into my M-Pire dreams only to turn into the secondary mascot of the entire Lordship Series. He was supposed to be some kind of immortal general for M's army but I decided he had to have a back story so I began to brain storm and created the League of Uncrowned Kings and realized that the man was much more sinister and bad a** then I really intended. Plus with his back story I could expand pass the limited walls of M-Pire and actually create a world entirely my own. Thank you, James Wong, for being an evil b*****d. (I tend to talk about him a lot, I know.)
Yeah, I don't know what to say now other than I'll be coming back here to babble a lot now.
