[close] Click HERE for the latest group announcements. "It reminded me of ____ but in space." "I read ____ in high school, and actually liked it." "It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members.

[close] This is a sci-fi and fantasy roleplay. On the planet of Fairgey, there are magical creatures that inhabit the land and seven elemental kingdoms. Some of these creatures resemble humans while others have animalistic features. Although the planet remained hidden from scientists for many years, a group of adventurers finally discovered it after years of searching through different galaxies. They quickly assembled a team of soldiers and astronauts with the objective of pretending to be allies with the inhabitants and stealing their resources. However, the Fairgeyans were already engaged in a war with the Dark Kingdom and were not prepared for the arrival of humans. What will happen? Will the Fairgeyans triumph or will the humans take all the resources and leave them vulnerable to the wrath of the Dark Kingdom? Only time will tell.
