Ravan never really liked her Great-Uncle Stan. He was snobby, with two kids named Dipper and Mabel, also his grand-neice and nephew. She had never met them, but if they lived with Stan, then they must be stuck-up and shallow also. But, one fateful day, Ravan's mother decides that she should go visit them at Gravity Falls for the entire summer. {Reverse Falls AU}

Our adventures with Cydnie has come to an end, but that does not mean that the stories are over. Here, we get to read about their shenanigans when they go into various anime worlds, and when Cydnie gets a bit bored. This, I have dedicated to Zander, for all the hardships I have put him through. Be thankful that I didn't write about every one of them, Zan!

I have a confession to make: I'm not a big Harry Potter fan. Oh, I read and enjoyed all the books (maybe except for Book 5), and watched all the movies (still think the 3rd was the best), but every time the story would try to present itself as being a worldwide magical conflict, I'd have to battle an urge to sigh. I just didn't see a lot of non-Western magical types/motifs represented in the Harry Potter world. As for specifically Philippine magic, yeah... no. While that's hardly surprising, that kind of thing still keeps me from truly immersing myself in that world, even if I found aspects of it very inviting, because it felt like a world that has no place for people from my neck of the woods. And that's a shame, because there's a rich diversity of magical practices in the Philippines. So I've always thought about what a Philippine magical school might be like, one which used and taught magic in a way that magic has appeared in our culture, our old stories and urban legends. When I was asked to contribute to the first issue of LONTAR (https://lontarjournal.com/), I realized I didn't want to submit a story. What I wanted to do was imagine that Philippine school of magic, and in providing a list of courses that are taught within its hypothetical halls, give some insight into our own traditions of magic. It was a... much more daunting task than I'd originally anticipated, and in no way does the list I created even scratch the surface of the myriad magical traditions, ancient and modern, found in these islands. But it's a start. (Cover image is tangentially related, an inforgraphic primer on Philippine sorcery by Mervin Malonzo and myself for Kwentillion.)

"The war is coming." "What should we do?" "The only thing we can do. Hope that it doesn't destroy us as it has before." ... Several Alphas will meet their mates. Several packs will go to war. Not all of the bonds between mates will hold true. Not all of the packs will survive. Read along as five different couples come together, each with their own story and destiny for the future of werewolves. As the Luna's try to find their way to their destiny, their mates will fight to the death for them, but it's not each other they should be concerned about. The werewolves will rise, but first, they must fall. If you like epic, mature, and non-cliche (mostly) werewolf stories then this book is perfect for you! There are going to be many twists and turns that will definitely keep you wanting more! ... Updates are frequent. Book 1 in the Wolf Rising Saga. Another synopsis inside. ... 10/21/16 #317 in werewolf 10/20/16 #997 in werewolf 10/18/16 #557 in werewolf
