			===News===
			I managed to get the first cycle of my mermaid stories published in novel form under the title ''The Accidental Mermaid'' It's available from Barnes and Noble, and Amazon in both hard and soft cover. It's also available on Kindle. I included illustrations and a dedication to Bryan for creating the Xanadu Universe and to shifti.org. Hopefully, this will bring in members who aren't spammers! --[[User:Alveric\|Alveric]] 20:29, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

	Thank you very much! Heh. It may be a warped question: but I can't help but wonder how many of those mermaids either now have no nipples (having been politically correct naked mermaids) and/or can't even wear clam shells having been naked mermaids in the adult section. Thank you again for the story order. I guess I was just sick of Star Wars dominating the Xanadu verse after reading the 501st stories. --[[User:Alex Warlorn\|Alex Warlorn]] 21:11, 9 June 2011 (UTC)		Thank you very much! Heh.

	Thank you for your comments. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed my work. I agree, I do tend to cut things too short. It's almost as though I can't wait to get to the next scene. I'll work on that. I think I know what you mean by "unreliable narrator", but could you elaborate on that or direct me to where there is more about that? --[[User:Alveric\|Alveric]]		Thank you for your comments.

	:"Unreliable Narrator" refers to an effect that is particularly easy to achieve in a first-person story. Unless you are actively pushing to be as non-judgemental and impartial as possible (something Heinlein posited was a learnable trait - hence the "Fair Witness" peoples in some of his novels) then any narration is going to be colored by the beliefs, morals and experiences of the narrator. I put this to fair use in [[User:ShadowWolf/Ripples In Time\|"Ripples In Time"]] and also in [[http://anthrozine.com/stry/kill.me.if.you.can.html "Kill Me If You Can"]]. In both stories the narrator makes an effort to not confuse the reader with their non-human POV's, but in both cases the whole story is only fully understandable if you can get past the narrators POV and see the whole story.		:"Unreliable Narrator" refers to an effect that is particularly easy to achieve in a first-person story.
