Stories and Stuff by rcs619

Well, I decided to keep writing and drawing, so this thread will be the "homebase" of my stories and the drawings that are related to them. This way I can keep everything together and semi-organized. Right now my only story is "An Extended Vacation, which is divided into 4 parts. I am finishing up another story now, and it should be up before the week is done.

I only ask that if you leave feedback, which I glady accept and appreciate, could you please leave it on my DA pages. That way I can keep this thead from getting filled uo and disorganized. Thank you everyone who has, or wll read my stories and look at my drawings. I hope they do something for you hopefully entertain...

======================================================================================
This post is devoted to "An Extended Vacation." It contains all 4 parts as well as the biographies of the main characters that appear in it.
======================================================================================

> First part of "An Extended Vacation". This part really just helps to set up the premise for part II, which will actually involve my main characters in Felarya. Don't worry, the next part will have nagas. (yay )

An Extended Vacation...part I

> Part II is here. I like it a lot better than the first part (it just feels better) and two main characters are introduced, Cliff Rhys and Fiona. Their bios are here

Fiona's bio and here Cliff's bio if you want to preview the characters.

An Extended Vacation...part II

>Part III is done. It starts to build things up for part IV, the last part, which should be EPIC!!! (hopefully)

An Extended Vacation...partIII

> OK, the final part is done. I put a lot more effort into it than any of the other ones and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I did my best to give my first story an epic ending. But, I think that I'm going to take a break before the next story. Hope you all enjoy it.

An Extended Vacation...part IV

> Please keep the feedback/encouragement coming. I feel like I've improved a lot since first starting this story. Hopefully I can keep geting better. I hope that this is just the beginning <

=======================================================================
This post will be devoted to the drawings that I will be making of the characters in my stories. As before. if you are going to leave feedback/encouragement, please leave it on my DA pages to keep this topic from becoming crowded and confusing. Thank you.

> (NEW!!!) Im posting this here because it has Fiona in it. This is a picture of Fiona, my naga and Xiao, Pendragon's neko character. I really like how this picture came out. I think that Xiao came out really good, and this is the first time that she has been drawn. Recent events in the RP on the online chat have cause Xiao to grow to a giant size, normally she is human sized. Fiona and Xiao have quickly become good friends...

Fiona and Xiao: Best Friends

> Technically this character is not in one of my stories. This is a drawing of Ne'fri, a character created by dreadis. Currently she has only appeared in the RP we do in the Felarya chat (we hope he will write stories about her eventually...) I just felt that she is a cool character and deserved to be seen by a bunch of people. dreadis does have a bio up for her on he DA page, but it is not complete yet...(still an interesting read though)

Ne'fri's first picture

> This is a full color drawing of Fiona the naga. I have pretty much finalized her look, it is fairly close to what I imagined, and I am really proud with how good this drawing turned out. So...enjoy, I guess

Fiona- full color version


- I really appreiate feedback and encouragment. I am really striving to get better at all of this. Hiopefully I can keep getting better and better

Well, man. You know my opinion on your art already (two thumbs pointing in a general upward direction. You really did nicely on it.

I just wanted to announce that I have put out a new picture of Fiona, my giant naga. Im really proud of how this picture turned out and I think it is one of my best ones yet ^_^. This is definatly a lot closer to how i imagined her. I did my best to try and make her look unique and pretty. But anyway...please take a look if you want to. Encouragement and advice are appreciated.

Fiona -revised and improved-

Wow...I just realized that I never posted the story I wrote for Karbo's contest on my story thread. Well, I figure I might as well. Its definatly the best story I have written so far.I know a lot of people have already seen it, but if you havent, please feel free to give my story a read ^_^. So here it is...

The Not So Mighty Hunter

The contest, which is in the judging phase now, had so many great entries, I honestly can't wait to see who won. When it's all said and done, we'll have a few new characters added to the Felarya Universe and some great artwork from Karbo...so everyone wins ^_^.

Keep up the great work, man. You get 19 thumbs up from me!

A bio for a character that will be in upcoming stories...Raina, the fairy.

Raina's Bio

A bio for a my new character....Maria, the Eel-girl. I hope you guys like her. ^_^

Maria's bio

Well, here's my new story. It introduces a new character, Alexis.
Up from the ashes

Ooh. I think I'll take a look.

Well, I fonally got around to doing another story. Warning, its kinda long.

The Snake and the Lizard

that is cool

I can't seem to find your stories... I haven't read them and I would really love to see what your genius has to offer... If you don't mind, could you send me a link to your Extended Vacation series so I could atleast view them...?

Cliff's (Rcs619) Felarya stories can be found here: http://rcs619.deviantart.com/gallery/25895799

Only three of his stories appeared there... I want the full set...

Yeah, "Extended Vacation" was removed a while ago. I just wasn't happy with it, and it really was kind of a crappy self-insert. It DID help me realize I enjoy writing, so that is definitely something good to come out of it ^^

I also deleted "The not so mighty hunter" a while back as well. Fiona had grown and evolved since that early appearance (I tend to refer to that one as proto-Fiona now), and the story just did not hold up with my own views, and with the development of the character. I may do a remake down the line, or a story involving some of the elements from it, but nothing is set in stone yet.

Currently, I believe my only Felarya stories up are:

- The Fairy and the Wasteland
- The Reunion in the Caves
- Just Another Day on the Job

These are all part of the same "World Between Worlds" series I have been planning for like, three years at this point.

Well, there are two other Felarya stories.

- The Snake and the Lizard: This is a much older one, and is the prequel to The Reunion in the Caves. I do not think it has aged well though, so if you read it... well, don't expect it to be as good as the newer stuff.
- Up From the Ashes: This one is in my scraps. Its currently a one-shot piece, featuring a character who I'm not sure what I want to do with. I might retcon her whole story, but who knows. I don't think its aged that well, but people seemed to like it in the past.

The rest of the stuff on my DA are species bios for the Legacy sci-fi setting, and one Legacy-based story, "Another Kind of Dancing"
