Consortium Worlds

We are a group of multimedia storytellers creating a web of intertwined worlds and universes. We explore each through the lives of its heroes and history-changers in a variety of genres, styles, and mediums. Our aim is to take a writing process that has been intrinsically collaborative and transform it into a socially-driven reading experience, with the hopes of building a community that will add to and influence our existing worlds and future work.

Well it went from a fuckton to just a normal ton.

I lied. This is the last one. Promise.

[radianceandmist]

Shoot me and you don’t get a ride.

Aaaand one more.

This is the last one.

For now.

Do I sound like I want to talk? No, but you sound like you should.

Another AOE quote, this time with the colors edited, because these are fun to make and because I enjoy Blane and Caleb’s relationship so much.

[radianceandmist]

Godspeed, Phoenix.

One of my favorite lines from the Kaith arc of AOE. I’ve been seeing these Recite quotes going around and I couldn’t resist.

Angels of Erebos

An ongoing original science fiction series by Marcelino A Thelwell and Marika Tobak of Consortium Worlds.

It's now possible to read AOE from the beginning without having to open each episode as a new page. Hope this makes things easier for everyone!

I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.

What would you consider the ideal length for an installment of a written series?

War is in our nature. It’s a part of our species, and has been as far back as we have had a history. For a long time, it was amongst ourselves. Between countries. Between religions. Over whatever reason we could find to disagree on. Space travel was supposed to change that, to unify us in the face of how small our planet really is in the scheme of things. But as we traveled further out into our star system, we just found more to fight over. When we first ventured outside it, we found that we were not alone in our universe. And it wasn’t long until we learned that we were not the only species that measured our history by our wars.

As history had played out time and again on our home world, the mother of unity was a common threat. The Minae. Our first interplanetary war formed our united militia. From there, our united government was founded, first as a coalition of nations, then as a single ruling body for Pangea and her colonies. We allied with the leaders of the Brall, a species not too different from our own, and over time we became the Alten-Sol Alliance.

In the millennia since, war has continued to be our constant. Our universe is infinite, and the species we have encountered, countless. Many are peaceful enough, but there is always some corner of the void filled with enemies. Today, in this corner, it is the Kalric.

I want to be magic. I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic.

Here’s your pro-tip from an English Major for the day:

If you’re confused about the correct place to put the word “whom” in a sentence, use the “he/she” vs “him/her” test.

he/she = who

him/her = whom

For example, if you’re saying “Who wrote this letter?”

Who is correct here because he/she wrote the letter.

Now if you’re saying “To whom do I give this letter?”

You are giving the letter to him/her, thus, whom is correct.

[radianceandmist]

While it may not always be technically correct, grammatically always always always use he/him instead of she/her for this test.

Why? “Her” is also used a a possessive. “Him” is not.

Also “him” sounds and is spelled kind of similar to “whom,” which makes it easier to remember.

If something I have written ever makes someone feel as much as the books I have read made me feel, I will know I have meant something.
