Artemisia Emergent Dedicated to my Banzai, my beardie best friend and writing mascot for 7 years. We all miss her smug face.
Artemisia is the setting for a science fantasy novel, in which a cataclysmic event of unknown origin has fractured the world into chunks of reality surrounded by an ocean's worth of dangerous dreams and void. This void is only traversible by means of psionically-powered ships, a highly experimental technology known only to a few and definitely not approved by any kind of government authority. The crew aboard The Dream Runner shuttles pushes their limits, putting out local fires, all the while hoping to track down and reverse whatever caused the cataclysm.

So, here's the Drama (could you hear the capital D?) Stories about the...er--stuff we went through. Exploration, Heists, Animal Rescue (no, it was the other way 'round, actually, thanks for bringing it up)..all the heroism in the face of danger/evil people that you could ever want. Love that for us, by the way. Almost dying was loads of fun, and changed my life forever. I highly recommend never, ever trying it.

Fun
*ding*
Okay, I get it, stress is a health hazard and the apocalypse is depressing. So here's some lighthearted stuff about the good things that even the Cataclysm couldn't end--people raising each others' spirits, laughter, kids playing games with their families, cute pets...and I know what you're thinking--do the pets get hurt?... because if they do you'll have to set fire to this screen. And I am happy to tell you that no, the animals are never harmed in these stories. In all honesty, they never get hurt over in the Drama section, either--it was like the universe just up and granted them plot armor six-inches thick. So read on for flying bearded dragons!
