What is Sword and Sorcery? 

Sword and sorcery (S&S) is a fantasy subgenre generally characterized by swashbuckling heroes engaged in exciting and violent conflicts. An element of romance is often present, as is an element of magic and the supernatural. Unlike works of high fantasy, the tales, though dramatic, focus mainly on personal battles rather than world-endangering matters.Joseph A. McCullough V, "The Demarcation of Sword and Sorcery"

What is fantasy? 

Fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting. Fantasy is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of technological and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three (collectively known as speculative fiction).

In its broadest sense, fantasy comprises works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians, from ancient myths and legends to many recent works embraced by a wide audience today.

This lens is undergoing some major edits and updates so it might look a bit skimpy for a bit while I move things around, but I'll have the content back up soon. I'll let you guys know when I'm done with the updating, by sending out a squid cast about it.

I love designing my own clothes, and clothes for my dolls, and hope to one day have a fashion/costume shop in Portland, Maine. There are no Gothic or Lolita or CosPlay or LARPing stores around here, I want to change that.

My clothen style includes velvet, capes, empire gowns, gowns with trains, burnoose, shawls, runas, fishnet hose, striped stockings, combat boots, velvet, top-hats, long dresses, ruffled frilly skirts, cosplay, Gothic, Lolita, Victorian, Edwardian, velvet, frock coats, Alice in Wonderland, vampire fashions, Medieval fashions, crinolines & petticoats, eyelash-fringe fabric, sequins, beads, glitter, lace, cloaks, ruffles, broomstick skirts, stripes, plaid, poet blouses, peasant dresses, fairy tale princess gowns, faerie outfits, wizard-look stuff, big hats, bright colored hats, ballet flats, platforms, anything that Dracula would love to wear, and stuff like worn by Jem*, The Holograms, and The Misfits.

I wear full kimono (layered) after Momoyama styling, more often than I wear anything else. If you are ever in Maine and you see a girl walking around in full kimono or looking like she just walked out of a comic book, than that's me.

I love all things Japanese, esp the cloths from Medieval Japan. I am currently in the process of recreating the outfits worn by the characters of InuYasha, eventually, my entire wardrobe will be switched over to just those and I will wear nothing else.

No I am not wearing a costume. Yes, I really do dress like this EVERY day. No, I do not own any "normal" street cloths. I'm a life actor, that means I dress in CosPlay 24 hors a day, 7 days a week, 12 month of the year, and yes, I have been dressing like this for more than 25 years now.

Yes, I REALLY am making a historical reproduction of Lord Sesshomaru's costume, and yes, I do intend to wear it as part of my daily street cloths, fluffy tail, battle armor, and all.

I am owner of The Twighlight Manor Press and Copper Cockeral Cards & Gifts .
On the internet, I am know as EelKat, my alter-ego, the talking black bobcat from Planet Diona (a character from both my The Twighlight Manor series & The Planet Ptarmargin series, as well as The Chrystonite Chronicles).

In alphabetical order: I like Alan Rickman, Alice Cooper, Alice in Wonderland, anime, birds, candy, Carl Barks, cartoons, cats, C*C*DeVille, Colombo, comic books, CosPlay, Darkwing Duck, David Bowie, Disney, dogs, Don Rosa, Donald Duck, Dr. Who, dvds, eels, Etiole, fashion, Gothic, haunted houses, horror, ice cream, InuYasha, Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp, Kieth Laumer, manga, movies, NegaDuck, peacocks, pigeons, Lord Sesshomaru, Prof. Snape, Retief, roosters, sci-fi, Scrooge McDuck, Sir Roderic, Star Trek, Tom Baker, Twighlight Manor, Uncle Scrooge, video games, Vincent Price, Willy Wonka, writing, X-Files, Xena, Zorro.

I am the creator and Administrator of A Writer's Desk, the forum for writers.


I love cats, dogs, roosters, birds, and esp. eels. (Have or have had pets of all of the above.)

Thank You Kitty

I love comments. Like one of my lenses? Just want to say hi? Go ahead and leave comments.

You know what else I like? Links! I'm one of the few lensmasters you will find who requests links in comments!

I am always looking for some great on-topic lenses to add to my lensroll on my lenses. So, if you've got a lens on topic for whatever lens you happen to be commenting on, go ahead and leave a link to it in your comment. Likewise, links to Zazzle Galleries, CafePress shops, and blogs are always welcomed. Feel free to leave a link to those too. Next time I log-in I'll stop by and check it out.

I've got 32 blogs and do a lot of talking about lenses, Zazzle galleries, and blogs which I visit, always linking out to them, so leaving links to your on one of my lenses, will usually result in me linking out to it from one of my blogs as well. I'm real big on sharing traffic to my blogs and lenses with others. :)

PS: Don't forget to leave a star rating too. (See top of lens page). Thanks!

Got an idea you'd like to suggest for a lens? I'd love to hear it! I'm constantly creating new lenses and updating my old olds.
