As a character, Nathaniel has kept a journal or diary since he was 12 years old. These posts represent his journal during the course of his life in Jasper Cove. A record of the day’s events, his thoughts and speculations on related matters and anything else that it occurs to him to write, much as anybody would who keeps a diary. The entries are not meant to be a blow-by-blow account of the role-play so much as his record of it, written at the end of the day, or the following day (usually the day after a session of RP). As such, they may not be an entirely accurate representation, as they are subject to his memory (and mine, though if I am unsure, I check the logs), and his point of view.Sometimes, the journal entries occur when there has been downtime between RP sessions, and these entries reflect what he did during his ‘spare time’ and there is no corresponding roleplay.The blog format uses a most recent first posting order, so if you are coming to the blog for the first time, you will need to scroll down to find the first entry – Choice Choices
At some point, the section to the left will indicate key entries in the story. |

Nathaniel was 32 years old when he became a vampire. He spent six years as a vampire having adventures of his own before he arrived in the now closed Second Life Sim called “Legacies 1891”. Those 38 years form part of the background and back-story I developed when I created the character.Nathaniel played in Legacies 1891 for 18 months, further developing his character, until that Sim closed down.Much of his life would have been recorded in his diaries, but sadly, much has been lost in one shipwreck or another. These pages are his attempt to summarise key periods in his life prior to arriving in Jasper Cove, for the benefit of future historians. |
Nathaniel’s Pen | Serendipity Island … Other Writings |
Although Nathaniel has always been a keen diarist, he hasn’t often indulged in creative writing. A few short stories when he was younger and the occasional dreadful “romantic” poem. Finding himself with leisure time in Jasper Cover (aka nights when I log in and there is nobody else there), he had decided to write a book. These pages are the chapters of that book as he writes them. He will occasionally mention this in his diary entries, where you may find the odd extract in his own handwriting. Other fiction writing, as he gets inspired by those around him, will also appear here. |
