Off With Their Heads! The Origins and Culture of HPBs

Begun as a discussion on HPB Culture #2, this thread attempts to solve the mystery of what came between the bunnies and their bodies, along with the social, psychological, and cultural developments subsequent to the lagomorphic intercision.

Phase II. As our legions of invaders decorators swarmed into the interior to implement our plot measure the windows for draperies, encountered unknown alien force which continues to elude us.

By very popular demand.

Now being discussed: Coraline
His Majesty’s Dragon, by Naomi Novik
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

Coming soon:


Muse Legendarium

An idea presented by Prarilius Canix. Description: A world-building venture in the tradition of J. R. R. Tolkien and Larry Gonick. It is somewhat like an RRR, only with the tone of a scholarly text or a complete encyclopedia of this world. More inside.

Description by Prarilius Canix:

“A world-building venture in the tradition of J. R. R. Tolkien and Larry Gonick. It is somewhat like an RRR, only with the tone of a scholarly text or a complete encyclopedia of this world.

“A note. While this is craziness, it is strictly nonrandom. If the first few posts set the tone for seriousness, do not attempt to make it silly. Conversely, if it is more in the comic vein, do not inject ill-suited seriousness. A universe of HPBs and pie throwing should not be intruded on by people with cosmic quests and pointy ears, or vice versa.
Another note: this is more like RRRiting an encyclopedic text than playing an RPG. Unlike the Musiverse threads, MBers have no participation in it as pwners, sea captains, prime musers or otherwise. And unlike most RRRs, as far as we’re using the Tolkien analogy, it’s more like the Silmarillion than LOTR and Hobbit, providing backstory instead of an actual story.”


Muse FanFiction, v. 2007.2

A new story begins. Old stories continue from Muse Fanfiction, v. 2007.1.

Please note: these are not RRRs but solo projects which share the same thread. Start your own or just stop by and visit.
