Sythyry's Vacation

Sythyry is a fairly young immortal, a maker of enchanted clothing and other modern conveniences in the city of Vheshrame, the city's ambassador to the dreadful monster Vae, the patron noble of a household full of misfits called Castle Wrong, and a diary-keeper. After the death of the last of zir college friends, Sythyry decides to go on vacation in zir new sky-yacht, the Strayway. Which is not a simple matter, since it means taking Vae and half of Castle Wrong along...

Sythyry's Vacation is a slice-of-life web drama written by Bard Bloom. Episodes appear a few times a week, or more or less depending on the rhythm of Bard's life.

Sythyry's Vacation is the quasi-sequel to Sythyry's Journal, a diary of Sythyry's college days. Sythyry's Journal is a century in the past. Sythyry's Vacation can be read first -- and, since it is written by a more experienced writer for a wider audience, probably it should be read first.

Sythyry's Vacation is set in the universe of the World Tree RPG, by Bard and Victoria Borah Bloom. It's not particularly a gaming story. None of the characters were ever played, nor do they have charsheets. But we make extensive use of the game's setting, and attempt to follow the game's rules, and sometimes even present bonus gaming material.

1. Feedback! Comments to me, on LJ or personal email or chat or whatever. Notes to Sythyry, which zie sometimes answers and occasionally (rarely!) even understands properly. Notes to other characters if you like. Suggestions to me of things you'd like to see. Cheers for things you're glad you saw, or even complaints about things you weren't glad you saw. Feedback is what keeps me writing day by day, so it's definitely at the top of the list.
2. More readers! If you think that Yorgo the Approximately Glorious would like Sythyry's Vacation, tell zir about it. Sythyry's Vacation will be relatively self-contained, so Yorgo can start reading about now and have relatively little to catch up on ... and there'll be more introductory material in the next while.
3. Buy our other stuff! There's the World Tree RPG sourcebook, and there's A Marriage of Insects. If you like Sythyry, you'll probably like those, too.
4. Reviews on SF and RPG sites! Honest ones, and I do hope that means they're pretty good, but definitely honest.
5. Link me on your blog or website!
6. Artwork! I keep the art page up to date, even, and people will view and admire your artwork.
7. Donate! This is cyber-funded creativity, I suppose. I'm not particularly trying to make money off of it, but I do accept tips and will probably do something nice for you (like a cameo) if you give me one.
   
8. Answer the polls and such! I enjoy watching answers show up, and getting surprised at the collective opinion.
9. Send us other creative or fun stuff!

And if you don't do any of that ... please keep reading Sythyry anyways. That's what it's for. And as long as enough people are reading, and I know it, I'll keep writing.

Read and enjoy!
