About

Hello!

Do you ever have a burning desire to create a story? Huge worlds, small lives, betrayal, love, hurt, angst. Blood and death and fantasy. Portals and stars and time travel. People at their nadir. Political satire mixed with thriller conspiracy. Comedic gold and laugh out loud recklessness.

Prose. Poetry. Comics. Audio. Movies. Episodic. Visual. Epic. Simple.

We understand. This burns within us too. And so we decided to do something about it. Taels Online was created to publish the stories that broil away within our imaginations.

We hope you enjoy.

The Homepage

The Homepage is built around the idea of streaming the content. This is, for all intents and purposes, what a Blog is.

So what you get on the Homepage is a stream of the latest content, both posts that I’ve categorised as Blog content and Story posts, which are the most awesome of content.

Simply then.

The Homepage shows you what is coming, and what has just gone.

Experimentation

Taels Online is an experiment:

  • To use the Wordpress engine as an effective means of telling stories.
  • To discover if short stories can be told in serial format on the web, in an effective and successful manner.
  • To use the web as a community for the Editing and Publishing and Reading process all-in-one.

Authors

  • Favourite Fiction Authors are George R. R. Martin, J. V. Jones, Joss Whedon, David Gemmell, Neil Gaiman.

  • Loves the process of creation, fleshing out characters, timelines, making processes within the worlds real.
