This Sceptred Isle

This Sceptred Isle is my first attempt at writing any kind of long creative fiction. I’m planning to write at least one chapter a month, and this page will collect them together for ease of use. Alternatively check out the tag for the posts. I’ve not really any idea how well this will work, but I’m going to give a damn good (half-arsed) go. Before we kick off you should note that This Sceptred Isle is licensed differently from the rest of the site. Maybe that’s overkill, but what the hell. I hope you enjoy my brainfart.

If you’d like to do something with this text (setting it on fire is an option), then mail me at neil[at]stuporcollider.com as a courtesy por favor! Your links to the original blog posts and good ol’ txt files are below:
