The Dreamer wanted revenge. His father didn't bow to the corruption until the corruption took his life. The Planner wanted them gone. A rising star, a budding career, taken from him out of sheer greed and conniving. The Executor wanted attention. A life turned bad at the hands of cruel, ambitious men. Three rise from the pools of ash in the city of steam. Three rise to meet the challenge of removing corruption, spurred on by a mysterious, unknown benefactor whose hand sinks deep into Erbain's hierarchy. They face a dilemma: how much is a utopian future worth if one must abandon all semblance of morality, and become the very thing they despise?

The vast majority of the writing I have seen on this website is worth less than the change I left upon your mother's nightstand. That means that, by statistical likelihood, your writing probably sucks too. Not in whole, mind you, but when it comes to a few of the trickier bits, you find yourself staring at a blank screen and scowling like a madman. I, on the other hand, am damned good at this writing stuff. So, out of the bottomless generosity of my heart, I decided to try and help your plebeian self. Plot exposition, character development, show versus tell, and all the little things that experienced writers know already. These are the secrets I'll drop on your lap in a vain attempt to make you learn a thing or two. I'm tired of reading all the crap on this site; don't let your work be part of it.
