Afternoon Fic1

Afternoon Fic: Cherik AU – Timestamp #1

Nicolaus Meridius January 23, 2018 January 23, 2018

So this is Timestamp #1 to the Cherik AU that I’ve been posting for Afternoon Fics.

There is second Timestamp in the works.

Once it’s finished and cleaned up – I’ll post the full fic (this time with a title on the Afternoon Fic Page)

Then start working on the sequel – cause we all know I can’t just write one!

***

Timestamp #1:

The Brotherhood

Erik cringed slightly, as Azazael landed them in the small abandoned warehouse, a state over from Charles’ fledgling school. It was his way of making sure nothing would link back to him and the kids.

Who knew that their first students would be the very ones they recruited.

Character Answers: Dean Winchester (Take 2)

Nicolaus Meridius January 23, 2018 January 16, 2018

*Sighs*

Can’t believe we missed an important question for Dean. *click to read previous interview*

*Searches Manor, only to find him back in the kitchen eating Pie where we found him the first time.*

*Slides across from him*

Dean: Didn’t I already speak to you.

Interviewer: Yeah, well one of the questions that was supposed to be in the last interview got misplaced, so here I am again.

Dean: *eats his pie* So what is it? My favorite sexual position? Boxer or Briefs? What do I find romantic? Do I feel guilty for fucking my brother?

Interviewer: Well if you’re volunteering ….

Dean: *evil sly grin*

Sam: DEAN!

Interviewer: *startles and looks up at Sam wondering where he came from* Or we could just stick to the questions.

Dean: *shrugs and finishes off his pie*

Interviewer: So how does it feel now to have so many fathers?

Dean: *sets fork down and pushes away plate* It’s weird. I mean dad was and will always be dad. He was a good dad, despite what Sam says. Yeah he wasn’t PTA, take your kid to work, or baseball game on Saturday type of dad. But he kept us safe.

Interviewer: And Clay?

Dean: Well that’s just weird. I mean he looks just like dad. I could get my head around Bobbie, he was like another parent while growing up. And looking back I can see him trying to be the dad we needed, when John wasn’t around. So finding out he was actually my dad in a past life, is kinda cool. But Clay, well it’s hard to get my head around – I mean I look like his kid, and he looks like my dad. Knowing how I .. his son died it is the stuff of nightmares.

*Sam came in and sat down next to Dean*

The talking French thing is annoying yet cool. And he’s a nice guy. His Mates are nice, Jensen sends me birthday cards so that’s kinda cool.

Interviewer: And Van Helsing.

Dean: *rolls his eyes* It’s like dad by default. He’s Mated to John so it’s like having two dads and the fact they are both my ‘dads’. Van Helsing is cool, the ferret is awesome. Over all we get along.

Interviewer: So you’re good with all the dads?

Dean: *shrugs* yeah it’s nice to talk to someone else sometimes. And Nico is a good dad-in-law so that’s good.

Interviewer: And your favorite?

Dean: *snickers* Grandpa Eddie though never tell him I said that.

Character Introduction / Sylum Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Ron Butterfield

Nicolaus Meridius January 22, 2018 December 28, 2017

Sylum: Member

Ron grew up in New York, his grandfather an immigrant who worked long hours to make sure his son had a better life. Ron’s father worked just as hard, leading to Ron being able to get an education and work for the government.

He became a member of the Pinkerton Agency which was the early stages of the Secret Service. Devastated at the loss of Abraham Lincoln he was determined to change how protection details worked for the President.

As he had started investigating exactly what happened that night, he found small discrepancies that led him to Sylum Manor, two years after the President had died – only to find Mr. Lincoln. He demanded information, sat quietly and listened to everything not only Lincoln had told him, but also General Meridius.

He nodded, then left.

Six months later he returned, stating that if he was going to make sure another President didn’t die on his watch he needed to be Turned. He gave Abraham a pointed look and said. “Well Mr. President I suggest you make sure no one suffers your fate.”

Sylum Information: Night at the Museum

Nicolaus Meridius January 21, 2018 January 13, 2018

Night at the Museum is actually a fun movie. Plus it has the benefit of having Pierefrancesco Favino in it.

We’ve actually used a few characters from this movie: Ahkmenrah and Larry Daley. Plus used the images for historical characters: Sacagawea and Teddy Roosevelt.

We’re not having the ability to ‘bring the museum to life’ but we will say the Tablet of Ahkmenrah is very important in the Sylum Universe, and there is a reason Imhotep and Blackwood want it.

If you haven’t seen the movie, I suggest you do.

Information on the Movie

Information on the American Museum of Natural History

Added bonus! One of my Afternoon Fics: Museum of Interest was a fusion of Night at the Museum and Person of Interest.

Fashion Style

We have a lot fashion conscious Vampires in the Clans. Some run actual Fashion Houses, Jewelry Designs, and Lingerie Companies.

Some haven’t quite got out of their period style clothing, while some have embraced the Steampunk Style perfectly.

And some just like their comfy clothes.

So are you trendy with fashions? Wear what is comfortable? Who gives a flying fuck what other people think I have my own style?

State of the Clan3

State of the Clan: 2018

Nicolaus Meridius January 17, 2018 December 17, 2022

It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year again.

No seriously, where did 2017 go? It seemed like yesterday I was working on last year’s State of the Clan Post.

So a quick recap.

We had a lot of things going on here at the Manor.

Major updates to the Wiki. *eyes Bob* who still is tossing ideas and characters our way. No seriously, you can stop now.

Bob: *wicked chuckle and runs off*

That isn’t going to end well for me.

There was Ernesto Olivetti Appreciation Week. When we ended up having to do major adjustments in Roads Untravelled (we had no idea it would be THAT many adjustments or TAKE that long to do it) we decided to make an event around the new updated version. I was honestly only planning something small … but it’s Ernesto so it was go big or go home.

We then ended up with Pirate Appreciation Day. Warrick is still wondering how he ended up with one day, shared with all the other pirates.

We had great stories showcasing our wide variety of characters, awesome artwork, and some inspiring videos.

Spring Fling 2018: Sign Ups

Yes it is actually that time! Easter is early this year, so the call out is going out now!

I’m lookin’ at all y’alls. There are a lot of options you can do for Spring Fling: Art, Fanmixs, Aesthetics, and Videos.

There is this thing called: Sylum Wiki Blog that showcases bios for 1037 characters within the Sylum Universe. 50 of them were added just for Advent! Let’s showcase some of these unknown characters, and give them the 15 minutes of fame they deserve.

There is only so much the main artists/writers of Sylum can take on.
