Hey, Zenolite, welcome to the SF!
I was shocked when I came here for the first time too. As for the stories being so long...well, we're all basically writing novels about RS (and many of us, about other worlds as well). It's pretty incredible that so many young writers have so much talent and dedication.
As for things you should know...There's not much. Just that the people here are really great and you should get to know them. ^_^ I'm not sure specifically of anything else, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll be happy to help you out.
Anyway, enjoy your time here.

Hello there! well I was just wanted to say I love your books. I have read the gods trilogy and the death tournaments. They were amazing! This book is amazing as well. so I hope you can add soon because I'm eager to find out what happens next. Also i was wondering if you could give me the QFC for your other books! I cant seem to find Saga of the Dungeon, and i would really like to read it along with the other books that are still on the forums.

Aw, sorry dude, Saga of the Dungeon isn't up anymore. I discontinued it because I kind of wrote it into a corner >_< Maybe over break I'll repost the original finished books so people can read them.
And sorry about the lack of adds. But I finally got into college AND I'M GOING TO NORTHWESTERN!
So hopefully I can squeak out an add over break. :) Basketball's started and life is crazy right now, but things should calm down in a bit. I write bits and pieces for this all the time during school, but I'm having writers block on the scene that's to directly follow what I last posted. My point...don't worry, I'm always thinking about this, I haven't forgotten it (like TDT..whoops..). I intend to finish Lucas and Justine's story. I will add soon. :)

Ok, so, if anyone is still out there, expect an add within the week. I'm on break and I'm working on it. The next scene, I've tried to write it, but it's very difficult - I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it and some things I learned in my writing class inspired me to experiment with a few things, so I'm trying to get it just right.
It's just a tough scene. You'll see. But yeah. It'll come soon.

A knock at the door saved James from having to reply to Justine’s question. He had no answer, and gratefully fled the balcony and her to meet the servant at the door, who said, “Lord Val’Myren is here. Will you receive him?”
James turned, searching out Justine, knowing she probably did*’t want to be found by her father here. She stood half-hidden, curled around the doorway to his bedroom, and her eyes were wide with terror. Gray would delight in finding her here. She took a shaky breath.
“He knows I’m here,” she said. “He always knows. If you refuse him, I’m sure you can guess what kind of reasons he can invent for you not wanting to be disturbed. Let him in, I’ll go.” Her shoulders hunched, bracing for the impact.
James nodded to the servant and turned back to Justine. “You don’t have to run from him. You don’t have to go.”
“I can’t be around him.”
At that moment, Gray swept into the room, and his eyes immediately sought Justine and found her in the shadows. She went rigid and avoided his gaze, inspecting the carpet on the floor instead. Gray smirked triumphantly and said, “Imagine finding you here, daughter. In the Prince’s bedroom, no less.”
“We were out on the balcony,” she stammered.
“How romantic!”
“Did you want something, Gray, or did you just come here to annoy me?” James folded his arms and squared up against Gray, in front of Justine. She edged around him and bolted for the door, but her father’s hand snapped out and grabbed her, holding her back.
“Stay, Justine,” he commanded harshly.
“Let go of me!” she struggled, but he held firm.
“I think you’ll want to hear this.”
“Do you have news?” James asked, and Justine stopped fighting instantly, waiting tensely, chest heaving, for the answer.

“Bittersweet, I’m afraid.” Gray released his daughter and sank down into a chair, as if weary. James helped Justine down to the couch and sat beside her. Her father steepled his fingers and stared at them for a long time, letting the anticipation build. James knew that terrible thoughts must have been running through her head, although Gray was just doing this for dramatic effect. Surely everything was really fine. He touched her knee for comfort and she flinched. “Don’t worry,” he whispered to her. “Gray.”
“I’m sorry, it’s just – this isn’t easy.” The older man swallowed and his eyebrows knitted. “Well, the good news is that we have won Falador. I owe you an apology, it seems. You were right about the reserve troops, my Prince.”
“Very well. I want the reserve troops pulled back immediately. And supplies must be sent to Falador. Tomorrow night at the latest. We can discuss the numbers tomorrow and see what’s available.”
“And the bad news?” Justine asked timidly. As Gray reached into his pockets to withdraw a stack of papers, James recognized them as the papers he received after every battle, and his heart raced. He already knew what Justine’s father was going to say.
Justine’s head twitched back and forth between the two men. “What’s that?”
Gray stared for a moment at the papers, then handed them over to James. “A list of the dead and wounded, my Prince.” He paused again to gather himself, and then said, “If you would look at the last name of top sheet…”
They both understood. James did*’t even bother to look, but instead, sought Justine, and bounded upright when she rose halfway, as her knees gave out the moment she tried to stand. His arms engulfed her slender waist and she folded into him, pulling him down with her, her tiny arms beating against his chest. “Let me go! Stop! Let me go!”

“Get out, Lord Val’Myren,” he hissed. Gray staggered upright past the wide-eyed servant and out of the room. James watched rigidly, panting, until the door shut, and then whirled back to Justine. She had picked herself up off the floor.
“You shouldn’t have done that. Why did you do that?” she hiccupped. He ran his fingers across her cheeks, smoothing the tears from her skin, but she flinched away. Her skin was pale, except for her nose and eyes, which were a bright red, and tears and snot ran down over her lips. She bowed her head to hide her face.
“He was being an ass. This is his fault,” James said.
“I know that. But you shouldn’t have –“ she brushed past him, scrubbing at her eyes. “I have to go.”
“Go? Go where?” He ran after her and grabbed her arm to hold her back. “Justine, you shouldn’t be alone right now. Come, sit, let me get you some water.”
“Stop telling me what to do! Just stop.” She looked like a skittish horse; he could see the whites of her eyes, and she moved nervously, fluttering back and forth as she fought free of his grasp. “I have to get out of here. I can’t be here – with you – I just can*t.” She moved toward the door again, but once more her legs gave out and she crashed into it, pawing at the wood but unable to wrap her trembling fingers around the handle. James wrapped his arms around her and pulled her back, holding on as her struggling became weaker and weaker.
