We'd like to wish you a very warm welcome to Worlds Within Worlds! Feel free to browse. Here's what we're trying to accomplish:
Worlds Within Worlds (WwW) is a website built by a community of gamers. Our goals for the site are twofold:
The site is still very young, so there's not a lot here as yet, but we hope it'll grow at a reasonable pace. Also note that the site is still very much in its alpha-testing stages, so stuff might move around and change pretty frequently. Hopefully it should be clear what's going on most of the time, though. Have a look at our Site Guide if you're not sure!
So, this something that sprang from a title suggested by a good friend.
We walk this path together.
You and I in bondage,
A thrall like the lumberjack’s saw
As it cuts both ways.
No illusions;
No pretence;
No misty veils, just time.
We both know what we are.
And yet we try to change each other
As an object lesson in futility
After thirty days and numerous backlogs of writers block, it's finally done.
Okay so it's the Royal Wedding Day. Fair enough.
But more importantly there's the reason for writing this piece. Only one day from finishing NaPoWriMo and getting my sanity back!! (well, what little I had to start with anyway).
We're approaching the end of this project and this is one that I promised a while back to write and dedicate to a friend based on one of her really evocative Facebook statuses. Well, inspiration finally hit, so this is dedicated to @QOFE.
Oppose 3/5
Open curtain
Stare at world
Notice many cracks
Rant and plot
Twitter-wise
Organise
Plan some more
Back to a story longform for this one with a pleasant kind of folksy doggerel rhythm. Not sure if this could do with a couple of extra stanzas though...
Spurs 4/5
The shotgun in my back is suggesting rather strongly
That this is a path I’d wandered down somewhat wrongly.
It’s a steely kind of insistence at the curve of my lower back
Something small to mark the start of a new theme! Since I was doing 'arsenal' for the last one, it made sense that I followed with 'spurs'. So here's a paean to that bit of equine-goading metal.
Spurs 1/5
Jingle, jangle little star
Spiked and jagged's what you are.
Down below you tend to lie
To stop those who are wont to shy.
Last one for the set and an actual football-related one! It's supposed to be both slightly irreverent and an homage to the notion of football as conflict and not just competition.
Arsenal 5/5
We march with banners flying free,
A rallying cry, our call to arms -
Red and white when we’re at home,
Black and yellow when on the road -
Given the theme, it was inevitable there'd be a Tube related one. And if you're going to do anything about the London transport network it might as well involve a certain game...
Arsenal 2/5
This one is dedicated to a Mrs Trellis of North Wales.
Note: Some moves have been shortened or omitted for poetic licence as they will be obvious to all but the most novice of players.
A vague sense of reminiscence for this one. Alternative title was going to be "Now We Are Six".
Arsenal 1/5
“Board them and plunder, my bold and scurvy crew!”
I’m a captain on the high seas, swashbuckling away,
With good men and traitors made to walk planks by my cutlass true.
“So avast ye Navy sea dogs! Today’s the pirates’ day!”
