The Dragon of Dreams [Working Title]

“I’ve got you now Archmage,” said the beast. From the celling of the cavern, the dragon could see the pitiful human struggling to hide among the large shelves of the library. Blue eyes narrowing playfully, it circled around the ornate shelves, wings leaving scratches on the dark wooden tops. “Oh I do love it when my prey provides me with sport. It makes life so much more interesting. Let’s have a little game, shall we?” The dragon clicked his tongue. A black, thick fog blanketed the library, covering the shelves in roiling mist. Torches were snuffed out one by one as it approached, turning the once cheerfu

Shadows of the Past

Shadows The ghosts of my past Always haunting Tears, grief, blood These are the images They give me. Silent and grave Except when whispering my name Their words icy and cold. Grief-stricken insults, A scream. Cold steel words Like a knife pressed into my heart. Into my dreams they go, Turning them into nightmares. I wake up sweating But they are there Phantoms only I can see Shadows Ghosts of my past Always haunting

How to Optimize Your Night Street Photography by burningmonk, journal

How to Optimize Your Night Street Photography

May 26, 2019

Street Photography Weekend Ah, the night, what a wonderful time to go out and do some street photography! As a photographer who got his start in the streets of Tokyo, it was inevitable that I would end up photographing mostly at night. To me, the city becomes its ‘true self’ when the sun sets, and the artificial lights come on and illuminate the metropolis. But let’s save my romanticism for another time. I hope to share with you my methodology, some tips and tricks, for night street photography. First off, please don’t expect any magic tips or secrets. I keep my photographic approach pretty simple, but fundamentals us

Denial by WordOfChen, literature

Literature

Denial

Denial: He stands before the mountains and sighs, knowing that they reach toward the heavens He begins his climb his hands soon bloodied, his fingers digging into the hardened stone He continues to drag himself against the crags that scrape against his peeling skin Unwilling to end his climb prematurely though the rocks continue to slice into his flesh Blood is drawn with a single desperate gasp as pain rings out throughout his frame His feet tremble and his hands grow numb but still he continues to climb ever higher... The winds threaten to throw him from the face of the mountain and they slowly begin to waste him away His bod

Hope by WordOfChen, literature

Literature

Hope

Hope: She waits for him at the gates that stood when even the world crumbled She sighs knowing that her own name will soon be forgotten Where once she carried the weight of the world now her strength is but the tiniest whisper A single spark, left to crackle amongst the shades until all is lost in the endless folds of time It's getting colder though she still continues to stand by the gates She is getting older and thus her memories must fade... Angels gather to watch her in these final moments and they bow their heads as a sign of respect For even now, as the life leaves her body Still she continues to wait... -Chen Yuan Wen

Well, I'm Back!

0 min read

Sorry for dropping off of the face of the earth. I had some......problems with my family. My grades weren't as stellar as my mother had hoped, so my computer got confiscated, again. I'm at a summer program now, away from her, but I'm not out of the water yet. Hey, at least it's summer! Time to review again. *adjusts glasses, rubs hands together* It's good to be back.

Fake Friends

0 min read

There are some people who are getting too fake here on dA. They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends they can get. So let's see who will actually re-post this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention. Copy and re-post in your own bulletin. Lets see who the true friends are... Re-post this if you are a friend... Don't reply... Just copy and paste this in a new journal as "Fake Friends." (I got this from a friend's journal here on dA. It seemed like a neat idea. Mea culpa on the spam!) Acalanthide

A Little Problem...

0 min read

Friends, deviants, countrymen, lend me your ears! It has come to my attention that this site has a small problem, a problem of transparency. Let me give you the whole story: WordofChen http://wordofchen.deviantart.com/ is a phenomenal poet on this site that has been suffering for quite a long time. You see, his work is being shuffled by an automatic system,  behind less popular pieces. Now, I understand that this system of shuffling is idealistically supposed to give exposure to lesser-known authors, and that is all well and good. However, when something  like this happens, dA needs to let the deviants know. They have not done so. Please
