Get to know writer Matthew Weaver:

1. What is your stageplay about?

Two deadly sins, Lust and Gluttony, are bored with their daily routine. So they decide to mix things up by switching places, which means a sudden glut of erotic bakeries and a Japanese sumo wrestler being named the equivalent of People’s Sexiest Man Alive. Creatively restored by the switch, Lust and Gluttony talk the other sins into following suit, which throws the world out of balance and attracts the attentions of the virtues. Who are nobody’s idea of a picnic.

2. Why should this play be produced?

It probably shouldn’t – it’s got a very large cast, casts…

Watch the Transcript Reading of DRACONUM:

Reading performed by actor Geoff Mays

Get to know writer Sebastian Halford:

1. What is your novel about?

My novel is about a young dragon who is forced to flee when the lair he shares with his mother comes under attack. Sanctuary lies in a small community of humans nestled in the foothills of a vast and towering mountain range, where the young dragon’s father serves as guardian.

2. Why should this novel be read by anyone?

I wanted to write a book where dragons are integral to the story – front and center, so to speak, and not in the periphery. If this sounds appealing, give it a try, you might like. And if you don’t, well, that means you might have a book in you that could be better. We’ve all had that “I could write a better book than this!” moment…

Genre: Depression/Life

THE REAL DEFINITION OF DEPRESSION
by Lindsay Gignac

People are always asked how would you describe depression?

What is depression like?

While you know they think they know the answer but they really don’t Depression is not a dream

Depression is not anorexic girls and boys staring in their mirrors

Depression is not just a sadness

Depression is a Gang made up of criminals held together by guns and weed and switchblade in your side when you betray the gang heading to the hospital or six feet below

Depression is an Ocean Filled With Blood Thirsty Sharks swimming.smelling,hoping for a victim discovering a ripped soul and devours on that like it won’t survive without it while the soul is screaming for help under water being fought over and ripped apart more

Depression is a Guitar With Broken Strings curled up,snapped back if pulled to far unfixable

Depression is…

On the eve of his wedding, the young man and his friendly group of drunken Scotsmen encounter a terrifying being that looks Branan in the eye and says “I have come for you”.
