Fix-it Rant by Bj Jones

kara__s_evil_bunnies

This is why I don’t watch new shows.

No not because of the bunnies, that’s inevitable.

No because most of the time I end up wanting to shank the writers.   I could actually go full on rant about the quality of TV and Movies these days and the writers and showrunners who are being paid way to much money for shit … but I’ll hold back.

For now.

Last time a showrunner decided to take out my favorite character … yeah okay, Rory wanted to leave the show, which lets face it was a very smart idea considering the train wreck CSI: Miami became … surprise solar eclipse my ass … oh wait that would be the ranting on stupid ass showrunners and writers.

Sorry I got distracted.

Last time my favorite character died in a stupid premise (because he obviously didn’t learn his lesson about cleaning his gun after he got shot the first time) Sylum was born.

12 Years later, I find myself in a similar predicament.

I’m looking at you Person of Interest.

Don’t get me wrong the actors were amazing, even with the bad premise, they broke your heart – cause they are good at their jobs.  Writers not so much.  And don’t even give me the bullshit that this was always how they intended to end the show.

Bullshit.

Calling it.

Bullshit.

And since I’m usually the one who gets the calls to FIX-IT! after the showrunners fuck up our favorite series … I’m finding myself once again snagging characters and saving them from the stupidity!

Person of Interest – you had so much potential and so much of it was wasted.

Two amazing characters that deserve so much more than they got.  So we gave them tickets for the Sylum Bus.  The dog and detectives snuck on board along with them.   There has also been many AU story ideas running around – The Dragon series already has a few stories posted.  You have no idea how long it’s been since I’ve had other story ideas/series/fics running around – outside of Sylum.

I’m horrified, awed, and buried under fluff.

As for Sylum.  We had the whole timeline figured out, built backgrounds, even wrote their wiki page until one of them decided to kneecap their bio and demanded a different background.  Thank you very much, John Reese.  Take a lesson from Harold who graciously accepted his timeline, then promptly inserted himself into everything he could, via The Machine.

We’ve hinted at some of the story ideas a few times … and I think one of you figured it out.

So let me introduce to you:

Cjj1OEyUkAAQD7D.jpg-large

Edmond Dantès – The Count of Monte Cristo … aka John Reese

Remember those wonderful snippets you read over Advent – well most aren’t going to turn out like we expected … cause Count over here kneecapped his storyline and we’ve had to adjust a few of them.

He’s still a Meridius and we all know what Meridii do when they get a tiny thread of a story.  Pointedly looks at Nico – who still hasn’t shut the fuck up in the middle of Clan War… cause only he could pull off a Flashback in a Flashback with added sex.

Just to be an awful tease … their will be a snippet from the first story in the upcoming POI Series during Seven Days.

And for an added bonus – keep an eye out on The General’s Office … I’m really really good with AUs  – no really I am, shocking I know –  expect to see a few new stories in upcoming weeks, in between Clan War, Sylum stories, and trying not to melt in this heat.

Welcome to Sylum Clan

wallpaper_manor

Hello!  Welcome to Sylum!

Recently we’ve had newbies and some poor souls that have stumbled onto Sylum with no idea what the crazy is all about.  I figured it was time to do a ‘Sticky Post‘ to help all those who wander into the Manor, navigate around this vast universe.

So here we go.

***

If you’re new here, welcome!!  You’ve just been recommended to this vast multi-story universe, and you likely have no idea where to go or what to do.

Well first off.

Fact: Vampires exists.

Second.

Welcome to Sylum Clan.

A multi-layered, character driven storyverse.

Inspiration for the first story that effectively launched this concept, was the death of Timothy ‘Speed’ Speedle from the Television Series CSI: Miami.

His implausible and much mourned demise, led to the premise that you can’t kill someone if they’re already dead.

This quite literally immortalized him, birthing the first story Kiss of Death, and the rest just kept on growing, sprawling  across more than 7,000 years of unexpected history, and on into the future.

A few things you should know, so you can’t say we didn’t warn you *grins*.  There are 3 Major Story Arcs, and hundreds of Supplemental Stories.  These stories expand across 13 Clans, 7 Kin Clans, and showcase over 1200 Characters.

We just hit our 15th Anniversary in 2020!

In Memoriam

tumblr_nvpgldbtCk1snconlo1_400

As many of you have likely heard about the mass shooting at Pulse a well known gay club in Orlando, Florida.  At last count it was 52 dead, another 50 wounded.

My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones, and prayers for those who were killed.

This act of terror and hate against the LGBTQ community hits home for Sylum as this series even though fictional is part of the LGBTQ Community.

There are many who would like to help but not sure how.

There is a Go Fund Me Page set up to help the victims of the shooting – Go Here

Give Blood.  If in Orlando, look for places to go to.  For those outside the area, check with the Red Cross for more information.

Give to other LGBTQ Charities and Foundations.  One I can vouch for is the LGBT Center in LA.

If you have other charities (US and/or International) that would be good – please reply we’ll add them to the list.

As always we’ll stand strong.

Love conquers Hate.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away …. wait wrong fandom!  Let’s try that again.  Many years ago when we were on the Yahoo Groups – there was a time you can make your own South Park Characters – many people had fun making Sylum Characters into South Park Style.

New Fic from Bj Jones (Non-Sylum Related)

2effd3c1445cb202dffc9050883c87cc

Introducing a New Page:  The General’s Office

Recently I was inspired to write something that wasn’t Sylum related. Shocking yes I know.  Speed of course fed the bunny, poked and prodded until the story was actually written.  Truthfully it’s been nice to step away from the Vampires for a while – especially when I realized it’s been over 4 Years since I wrote anything that wasn’t Sylum related!

The simple story turned into a series.

Wait.

Wait.

Yes it would seem that I can’t write anything simple.

Which left me with a dilemma.

Where the hell do I post it?

Livejournal: Okay so I haven’t used it in a while. I dusted it off, opened it up and wandered around the empty halls. This could work. Then quickly remembered what it was like to post anything over a certain size.  *eyeroll* and moving on…

Tumblr: Yeah no. No really. No.

A03: Hell fucking no. Why many of you would ask? Cause I despise their attitude, their politics, and the entitlement of some of the people on it.

So in the end it came down to well… I do have this blog.

And The General’s Office was born.

Basically anything new being written, for example this new series called Dragons of Interest … will be posted there.   And what do you know the first chapter is already posted!!  So step on over to the General’s Office, grab some Sencha Tea, sit and enjoy a new story from Bj Jones … while waiting for Nico to shut the hell up!

Update: Sick General

one-sick-puppy

 

If you’ve been wondering why there’s been no updates this week – including Sylum Inspiration and the new RP it’s because The General is down for the count.  I came down with some nasty viral infection and well I’ve moved as far as the couch.  I’m only now reasonably feeling slightly better to type this out.

We’ll be back to our normal schedule mayhem next week!

Discussion: Tuesday RP??

question-mark1

 

Though we have the forums set up for discussions/rp and the likes for everyone, I’m seeing that it’s rarely if at all being being used.

So the question I’m sending out to the list – If I set up a an RP Post once a week, or something similar – would you guys go to town – enjoy the old style RP that used to be on the list?

We got over 500 hits a day during Advent so I know you guys are out there.  It would be nice to see some of you during the rest of the year 🙂

 

This is for fun, doesn’t have to be perfect, or in canon, just have fun with it.

PS: If I don’t get any responses in the next few days to this – I’m going to just assume this is a no go.

Character Introduction / Ehre/Weisheit Kin Clan / Sylum Information0

Sylum Inspiration: Mary Poppins

Julie_Andrews_1

Ehre: Caretaker

 

Despite the fact the Ehre and Weisheit Kin Clans joined after World War Two – the Clans each have individual Caretakers.

Ehre Caretaker: Mary Poppins

She’s sweet, charming, and can rule that castle with a iron fist!  She knows everything and no one can get anything past her.  She also has a beautiful singing voice and can be heard through out the castle when dealing with day to day operations.

She also can push every single one of Thomas’ buttons.
