Hello! Welcome to Sylum!
By BJ Jones
Recently we’ve had newbies and some poor souls that have stumbled onto Sylum with no idea what the crazy is all about. I figured it was time to do a ‘Sticky Post‘ to help all those who wander into the Manor, navigate around this vast universe.
So here we go.
***
If you’re new here, welcome!! You’ve just been recommended to this vast multi-story universe, and you likely have no idea where to go or what to do.
Well first off.
Fact: Vampires exists.
Second.
Welcome to Sylum Clan.
A multi-layered, character driven storyverse.
Inspiration for the first story that effectively launched this concept, was the death of Timothy ‘Speed’ Speedle from the Television Series CSI: Miami.
His implausible and much mourned demise, led to the premise that you can’t kill someone if they’re already dead.
This quite literally immortalized him, birthing the first story Kiss of Death, and the rest just kept on growing, sprawling across more than 7,000 years of unexpected history, and on into the future.
A few things you should know, so you can’t say we didn’t warn you *grins*. There are 4 Major Story Arcs, and hundreds of Supplemental Stories. These stories expand across 13 Clans, 7 Kin Clans, and showcase over 1000 Characters.
We hit our 10th Anniversary in 2015, we’re working on the next 10 years as we speak.

Author’s Notes: A big huggy Thank You! to The General for all the help … We won’t talk about the Bunnies that were launched with afterburners on full. LOL
The names of the full moons are taken from American Indian Moons, and as a practitioner of some of those traditions … I have taken a teeny bit of poetice license with the legend of the Ancient Puebloans that built the cliff dwellings in the Four Corners area of the American southwest as they MAY pertain to Anasazi (Frank Hopkins)
