I am a fantasy series writer, fascinated by detail, enthralled by creativity, enthusiastically dreaming new characters, better plots, and bigger worlds. This is a dedication to the stories and world of TCM, and exploration of personality and culture.

It’s a loose term for a number of things, but one aspect of it is represented here by this video. It looks like a fight but if much smoother, more choreographed (usually) and requires a lot of skill. It’s pretty awesome. This is to the effect of what Jared did, from time to time.</p>http://gamesofalterra.tumblr.com/post/32269964473http://gamesofalterra.tumblr.com/post/32269964473Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:27:57 -0700danceworld buildworld building<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_matvztlRAg1rpdmmwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Tigers in the temples, tigers in the streets.
