Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

-Chapter Sixteen: I Will Fly It took Clarence about seven minutes of circling above the group of birds to find Corvus’s brown shape perched on a mailbox on the fringes of the flock. Fortunately the birds hadn’t damaged the lampposts, leaving a dim light cast upon the streets and allowing... -

-Chapter Fifteen: Protect The wind rushed by his face faster than it ever had before. Clarence didn’t care. He was falling. And he would fall for many seconds until he finally pulled up, hopefully shoving the humans aside to where they wouldn’t bother the birds again. But most of all, he would... -

-Chapter Fourteen: Keeping Watch Clarence’s fiery brown eyes ruthlessly scanned the street below – again. It had been a few hours since he had kept watch last, but the moderately sized rotation of birds had come full circle, and it was the macaw’s and his turn to guard the flock again. The... -

-Chapter Thirteen: Destruction Clarence flew unnaturally slowly from then on. His mind was telling him to fly fast and just get it over with, but his body wasn’t cooperating. Maybe because flying there faster would only make him a target, but it would warn against other birds if the humans were... -

Chapter Twelve: To Battle The next several days were just about the first average ones Clarence had experienced since arriving at the Fortress. Still the plot for the rebellion buzzed in his head, but it was hidden behind his schedule of preening, eating, and flying. Clarence lived those four... -

Chapter Eleven: The Meeting There was a call to gather in the Copse the morning following the next. Clarence didn’t know what it was for, but he obeyed it. Wasn’t the Copse rather small, though? How would all the birds gathered in around sixteen square miles be able to fit into such an... -

Chapter Ten - A Visit with Corvus uwaa why is this even a chapter Clarence flew a ring around each tree once, or maybe it was twice. He wasn’t exactly counting, but for some reason he had to find Corvus. Was she hungry? He thought about turning towards the Hunting Woods to see if she was there... -

...*reads wall of criticism* Note to self: Make Clarence less calm and interested in surrealism, add less description and more plot for equal word count, and no, I haven't read the book. Did I take it the wrong way? I guess I have more words because I use way too much description... they must... -

-Chapter Eight: Nightmares and Segments No more birds appeared to be entering the gate. The shadow of small Corvus was the last to come through, and that was about ten seconds ago. Clarence took a deep breath to assure himself that this place was safe, even though dapples of light shredding the... -

-Chapter Three - Flight Clarence fluffed again. As Rule did so fleetingly, he remembered that birds had to preen to keep their feathers in flying shape. Clarence’s own shouldn’t be too dirty, but it would be insightful to know how to preen for future reference. He turned his head to his breast... -

-Chapter Two: Whimsical Reality Clarence kept his beak open. He was absolutely that this wasn’t a dream now. There was no way a dream could possibly be this real. The experience in the hall, the blood on his talons – all of that was real. Which meant that somehow he and his siblings had really... -

-Chapter One: It's not a Dream, Is It? Clarence only awoke to more darkness. The room was only contrasting shades of black, even though he could make out the creases where the ceiling met the wall and the wall met the floor. The lines were clear to him when they should have been smudged out by... -

mM's NaNoWriMo - Clarence's Jacket (story's over, possible editing) Yes, I do have an odd style of writing. I use "maybe," "as if," "almost," and "glanced" too much, among other things. But different styles don't necessarily make bad writing. So how is my style? At first, Clarence and his...
