Style: 3rd person narrative prose, with occasional winks to the underlying mechanics. There is a good amount of humor mixed with serious fantasy, horror, etc.

Reader Comment: "This is one of the better storyhours I've read. You have a very natural flow in your writing, it's easy and enjoyable to read and it also has a relatively original and entertaining flavour. I've never come across the concept of extradimentional colons and orca penis rings before." - Serpenteye
