Think you can figure out who wrote a drabble just by
reading it? Think you can recognize an author’s style
in only 100 words of fic? Well, here’s your chance to
try, even if you don’t think either these things.
This month we have eight authors, with a total of nine drabbles to place. Good luck!
Rising Stars
Mockingbirdflyaway, nominated both last year and this year
for her WIP novel Cause and Effect, has avoided falling
into many of the traps of those who pair Artemis with an
original character...
In honor of Artemis Fowl's birthday, I have recovered the
transcript from a meeting of Haven's Psychological Committee—the
meeting during which they discussed the mental well-being of
Artemis. Haven's Psychological Committee—playfully called the
Psycho-Illogical Committee by everyone who is not a member—is
headed by Doctor Jerbal Argon and Professor Incus Cumulus...
Suffering from Gnommish withdrawal?
One of the most unique things about the Artemis Fowl series is Gnommish, the little code that runs at the bottom of the books. Like many fans, I went ahead and decoded the the Gnommish right after I read the book.
However, the codes were dreadfully easy when a conversion chart, albeit a partial one, was provided.
Crack the Eternity Code is not as straightforward as the codes in the book. It will be challenging, but anybody with a bit of patience and logic should be able to crack the codes here...
Happy Birthday, Artemis!

In a swirl of melodramatic maroon, the plot holes cleared to reveal three of
our favourite character in melodramatic black suits.
“How extraordinary.”
“Yes,” replied a piping voice. “This is most curious.”
“Hardly,” said a third voice, older than both the previous two. “This is all
perfectly rational, if we allow for a wormhole in the space-time continuum.”
Here is a showcase of ‘forgotten fics’: brilliant stories, long lost
in the quagmire of ff.net. Many of them were written years ago, but
as their authors have moved on, so have their fans. It was time the
newest Fowlers got to enjoy them...
This month’s article deals with the basics of punctuation. I’m not sure punctuation counts as grammar, but it’s important to know anyway...
by Annoying Schizoid, Kitty Rainbow, and The White Lily
