There once was a man called Agrest
with theories of much interest;
Gods from the stars
or possibly Mars...
An x-file? Conspiracy? Jest?

In the Galaxy Faraway
Japanese attacked Midway
But the Iroquoan Navy helped by NASA
Sank Sinano, Yamato, Mikasa
In the Galaxy Faraway...

Well, that's not enough even for the starter. We need more young Jedies to help us with AH-limericks.
Fro example, I was thinking about the limerick one of the characters of my (тще нуе фссщьздшырув) story "The Champion" should say viewing the battlefield after the battle with the Mexicans at Jackson, Alabama. He's the Irish, named Randy Prescott (although his surname is Anglo-Saxon).

How this view can ever be forgotten -
The field of cannon-fodder rotten?
They came for our hearts, them, pagan lout
Now, they lie there with their bowels out
The bloody feast for their gods accursed...

WOW!:)) and i want a link to your stories right away!!!:)

[alex-kraine.livejournal.com]

There are some stories on Samizdat. But except for a single story, nothing accomplished. There are two novelettes (The Champion is among them) in the process of writing. Add to this, a novel I still hope to finish, and several new ideas.

Ypa!!!!!

Maybe, I'll have time to translate some of the stories back into English.
There's an accomplished short story on the alternate beginning of the Thirty Years War:

Especially, I'd like to accomplish a small steam-punk novelette with Sherlock Holmes, Professor Challenger and Dr Diesel
"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen мы Martians", which is going to be mor than a mere fan-fic because I have curious ideas of alien biology there, which is quite consistant and unites several Doylian novels as well as Wellsian War of the Worlds and some Russian motives into a single world.

thanks my friend - i shall enjoy these very much:)))

ps

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

as for Martians - i would like to write a story that explains the use of hollowed asteroids as spacecraft, so in fact Cruithne is one such whilst another could NEA 2002 AA29 and yet another crashed already and we know it as the Baalbeck Terrace...

but everytime i have tried to write the story it - doesn't work.
:(
