Hello taffers!
I am happy to announce that
Secluded Realms, my
book of poetry inspired mainly by Thief: The Dark Project and its fan missions, is published and available for reading and purchase.
This volume takes the reader on a journey from pristine mountain ravines and sequestered rose gardens, venturing into abandoned cathedrals and districts of the poor, and finally ascending through spiralling staircases to the lofty abodes of powerful wizards and barons. "Secluded Realms" draws its inspiration from the gritty and dark medieval world of The Dark Project, evoking the raw, unfiltered essence of an era characterised by hardship and resilience, where individuals often find themselves cast out and relegated to the margins of existence.
"Secluded Realms" is meant to be my humble tribute to Thief community, though it can be enjoyed by the readers who are not familiar with Thief at all. Also, it is worth mentioning that I didn't include any LGS copyrighted content, so there is no mention of Garrett, Hammerites, etc. That being the case, "Secluded Realms" contains many references to the specific fan missions by classic authors such as Purah, Banshee, Sperry, Sledge, Gonchong, Mokkis, or kfgecko, as well as those made by contemporary DromEDers such as Skacky, Nicked, Squadafroinx, StinkyKitty, Melan, Vegetables, or DirkBogan. Oh, and there is also Benny and the plumsies.
The book can be read here in a PDF format:

I don't think I've seen anyone sell anything on here before, but, OK
EDIT: I can edit posts, too. The top link to the full pdf was not there this morning when I replied, at 9:14, and was added at 11:02
That's it, and that's all. The rest of your comments/criticisms on the above can go to the void. Unsubbed from thread

You need to read a bit more more carefully, it's available for free too.

It is free if you click on the first link. I see the whole book.

Full book is definitely free at the link OP gave- just verified it myself.
I also ordered a physical copy and appreciate that he linked it so that I could purchase it.
Totally cool and good to do.
