Ovid Metamorphosed

An Atherton’s Artificial Artifact! As a Young Lady, I took several years of Latin.  Translation was my favorite homework, I think because I was damn bad at it.  My translations would come out pleasingly strange, the way, I felt, anything translated from Latin ought to be.  Mysterious, and remote, and… Continue reading

  • Things To Do While Visiting Atherton’s Magic Vapour

    You could listen to me read a piece of spam mail aloud (O, My Viagra, My New-Found-Land!)

    You could play a Twine game (The Perils of Sir Reginald, Bart.)

    You could look at pictures of me in costumes, or even read the related Edwardian-era mystery novella (Alas!)

    You could read Stranded!, a Strand-Magazine-Based form of Illustrated Entertainment (start here with a sort of explanation: Stranded!)

    ...or you could just sort of explore... there is a lot of material here, and (I think) much of it is Very, Very Good.
