Welcome to Myrmidon



Closed.

There are elves, there are guns, and then there are elves with guns.

Welcome to Myrmidon, an online serial novel set in a sci-fi/fantasy world. At its heart, this is the story of a small group struggling to overcome the odds.

Myrmidon follows a band of misfits as they strive to overthrow an oppressive government. Of course, coups are rarely easy to orchestrate; people don’t always get along and there are usually surprises just waiting for the chance to make everything more difficult. This is the story of those difficulties.


Please Note: Merrill Perlman, the Director of Copy Desks at The New York Times, once answered a question on the paper’s policy regarding the terms “sex” and “gender” by replying that “nouns have gender; people, bless their hearts, have sex” [see here].

While I may not agree with Perlman, the characters in this story most definitely do have sex. They have sex with themselves, with one or more companions, with males, females, and individuals of indeterminate sex or gender. They do all this during their breaks from engaging in any number of bad behaviors, including murder, theft, and the use of very foul language. This is not a story for the kiddies or for grown adults who are unable to tolerate any of the above. If you consider yourself to be either, please go elsewhere.
