146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach Maine is Not For Sale - Call FBI Murder Tipline to report it if anyone tells you it is

Now that we've reached 10,000 pages, it has become necessary to create a new method of indexing the pages, seeing how it's not possible to link 10,000 pages from the navabar... heck, I had trouble just linking the top 100 pages in the navabar! LOL!

Since moving to this new url in 2013, I've been linking the top 100 most visited pages in the navabar and then linking to everything else from them. As of October 15, 2017, that system is being replaced with this one, which, hopefully will make it easier for you to navigate around this massive site.

So, now I'm creating topic pages, which will contain this links to the pages, and I'll just link to the topic pages in the navabar instead. Hopefully this system of indexing the pages will make it easier for you to find the pages you are looking for.

Enjoy!

My Answers To The Zaharam-Chapelle-Parunas Ethnographical Questionnaire The World Building Questionnaire

...And the multiple thousand extra questions I added to it because it wasn't enough.

UPDATE: January 30, 2024:

This page was originally a Squidoo lens that I created waaaaaay back in 2007!

That means the page you are reading is SEVENTEEN (17) years old!

It is also one of the oldest pages here on EelKat.com

Unfortunately, due to the murder of my 8 month old son Xavier, at Southern Maine Community College's Buglight Lighthouse Art Studio at BugLight Lighthouse Park in South Portland, Maine on November 14, 2013, this page has gone without an update for ten (10) years now.

As you probably know, the 50th anniversary of the release of my first book (Friends Are Forever, published September 23, 1978) is coming soon, and eelkat.com is being completely redesigned for the 50th anniversary, including many pages (including this one) being updated for the first time since my son's murder.

As you know, originally this page was being updated every few days, as I went down the list answering each question. But because of my baby's murder, and the FBI's murder investigation, updates were put on hiatus.

I have been answering these questions again, the past few days, so links to the new pages are being added to the list, and hopefully, before the 50th anniversary in 2028, we can have most if not all of these questions answered.

Ethnographical Questionnaire
...And the multiple thousand extra questions I added to it because it wasn't enough.

EDITED TO ADD: Answering FAQ - yes, you can use these questions as writing prompts for building your own world. That's what I put them here for.

In my random internet browsing today I ran across a site with a page called: The Zaharam-Chapelle-Parunas Ethnographical Questionnaire.

It's absolutely fascinating.

If you have never seen it before, you must go look at it immediately. It's wonderful. I want to answer every question on it. It's got a few hundred questions on it, so I'm not going to be able to answer it all on one page. I guess I'll have to make a seperate page for each question? I don't know. I only just found the list and I haven't had time yet to plot out how I'll go about answering them.

I found it while searching for brainstorming ideas for world building. Every world builder should have access to this list. Every world builder should take this list and answer every single question about their world and see how well it is they really know the world which they have created.

This list is absolutely, positively amazing. I am so glad I found it. I mean, you know how much I love world building and answering questions and this is both of those activities rolled into one! Could anything be more perfect?

What the page is, basically is a massive set of questions to ask you characters about the world they live in. Cool. I figured it'd be a great exercise to use this against Quaraun world and see what we know about the world he lives in.

The Zaharam-Chapelle-Parunas
Ethnographical Questionnaire

As there are too many questions to answer them all on one page and so many questions that it'll probably take me a few weeks at least to get around to answering them all, I'm making this page to index the questions, and as I answer them, I'll turn each of the questions into a link to the page where I answered it.

Who knows how long it'll take me to fill up this list and turn them all into links! LOL!

If you are building a world of your own, why not take these questions and answering them on your own site about your own world?

Need a place to share your pages with other authors? I got a FB Group just for that. Go ahead and join and post links to your books, author blogs, reddit posts, whatever else author related you have to share with us!

I don't know exactly what it is this list is. I read their introduction to it (see the link), and I think it was three college students doing something for extra credit for a cultural studies degree, that required them to build a hypothetical version of Earth, and these were the questions they created to use as a base to create that world?

The page is really long.

Like really, really, REALLY looooooong, long. It is their doctorate thesis, so it's something like 75 pages of research studies of the hows and whys of everything you could think of explaining how they created the list.

Yeah.

After you click the link to go to their site, then you have scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll, lots and lots and lots before you actually get to the list of questions.

If you want to read the introduction to the list, it'll take you like 10 hours to read it. Yes, it IS THAT long!

Their website is a REALLY OLD 1990s site that is NOT mobile friendly, and the whole essay loads as ONE PAGE, yikes! And that's coming from me! You know how long my pages on my site here are! LOL! Their page makes my pages look tiny.

But, it is a fascinating read if you want to read it. Very dry reading though. Very college text, dry reading.

But I read the whole thing and it gave me a lot to think about for my Twighlight Manor books.

I want to do some major expanding of the world building.

Not that it needs it, because I've already got 30+ years of worldbuilding done for it.

Three solar systems, 5 inhabited planets, hundreds of cultures.

But, I've not written a lot of it online for you guys to read.

It's all pen on paper in 750 (yes, seven hundred and fifty) notebooks. And it's all random and unorganized.

I'm thinking it'd be nice to take these worldbuilding questions and answer each one of them, and post the answers online for you guys to read them, so you have a better understanding of the lore to the series I write.

I don't know yet at this point what exactly it is that I'm going to do with this list.

At the moment it's just here so that I can find it again.

I think I will have to make each question be it's own page and link back to it here and this page act as an index to my worldbuilding lore pages?

I don't know.

This is not what I was planning to write today. Like I said, I just found it and got done reading it, and am hyped up excited about wanting to answer all the questions, but damn, there are like a thousand or more questions, OMG! How long do you think it'll take to answer them all?

If I answer just one question a day, that'll be like four years to answer them all LOL!

I can see that even without answering the questions on this page directly, this page is going to get super mega long.

This page probably is not going to load well for people on cell phones. I don't have a phone so I have no way to check. But as I always say, this is a "GeoCities" style website and it IS best viewed on a desktop, so if you are on a cell phone, you probably are not seeing my site the way you are supposed to be seeing it anyways.

Maybe we can make it into a challenge, where we all answer it together. Me answer the questions about my world here on my site and your, my readers, you answer the questions on your blogs/sites/social medias about your worlds?

Maybe we can make a WebRing or something to link up everyone answers?

I think there is so much we can do with this list. I don't even know where to start.

But, it's giving me loads of ideas for more questions to add, that they did not ask, so I'll be adding extra questions to each set because, I don't know, as detailed as they went with their list, it still misses lots of things that I think are essential, but they seemed to overlook.

Like haunted houses and master chefs. Those things are very important in my world, but where are they on their list?

I am wondering where to begin?

How do I master this project?

Do I start at the top and go down the list in order?

Do I do one question from each section, a new section each day?

Do I just jump around and answer whatever question speaks to me most that day?

I will probably do some of each.

I'm contemplating the idea of delving into these worldbuilding questions, responding thoughtfully, and sharing my answers with the online community. By doing this, you can examine the responses and acquire a deeper understanding of the complex mythology that serves as the foundation of my series.

I'm trying to think of how do I answer all these questions around my regular schedule of everything else?

I have so many books to write. This takes away from that.

Yet at the same time it helps me plot and plan new stories.

The diversion into worldbuilding is distracting me from my primary goal of writing numerous books. Strangely enough, it can be both a creative muse and a double-edged sword. While it may appear to snatch away valuable writing moments, it becomes an indispensable aid in the art of plotting and planning new stories. While creating worlds, I discover the beginnings of stories, growing into complex tales for future books.

I think I get way too addicted to worldbuilding.

I seem to do more worldbuilding then I do writing actual stories.

LOL!

I can't resist the enchanting allure of worldbuilding, often giving in to the temptation of crafting immersive realms. The act of blending cultures, weaving histories, and conjuring landscapes indulges my senses, captivating my imagination with untold stories, boundless possibilities, and a kaleidoscope of colors.

Just look at how many questions there are on this thing! A few hundred! A thousand? Wow! I don't know where to start.

But you know what? With as many questions as came with that list, I think, there still ain't enough and I'm just gonna go ahead and add me some more.

2022coverTheNightofTheScreamingUnicorn-QuaraunTheInsane-EelKatWendyCAllen-unicorncover2.jpg

The original questions are in the list format under each section title header. At the bottom of each section I've added a little double row grid box. Those are the extra questions I've added to this list.

In all, with the original questions and the extra additional questions I added to it, there are more than 1,000 questions on this page.

1,000 questions about world building.

1,000 questions to help you build your fantasy realm for your novel.

1,000+ questions on creating a fictional society that is as realistic lifelike and as diverse as the real world, to increase your readers' perception of the level of reality within your fictional world.

What you are looking at it the ultimate questionaire to help you build the ultimate planet for your fictional characters to live on.

Now, the list, as it is, is a list of questions, for you to answer about your own world. The questions which are active links to other pages, are my own answers to the questions. As I answer each question, I'll turn it into a link to the page where I answered the question, if you are interested in seeing how I answered them for Quaraun's world.

This is another area, where this list these three guys made just screams American, big time. Food. Eleven questions related to foo. Yep. That says American as much as lack of family does. Why do Americans have no time for either food or family? Food and family are such a big part of almost every non American culture, but food and family are desperatly lacking in American culture.

I wonder if Americas are aware how much their lack of family values and lack of food culture, makes them look like freaks?

Extra questions of Food I've added to this list.

How is clothing made, in small shops or larger factories?
How much does typical clothing cost?
How important is fashion to people? How does this vary by individual?
What kinds of jewelry do people wear? And when?

Sic questions about fashion. Yeah, what can you expect from an American? Americans roll out of bed, don't bother to take off their pajamas, and if they do they look like gutter trash in t shirts and jeans. Good god! Do Americans realize how much their lack of fashion sense makes them look like gutter trash?

Why am I not surprised that an American list of things to include in worldbuilding neglects food, family, and fashion?

In Genesis 22, God commanded Abraham to take his son, Isaac, to Moriah and sacrifice him with a knife upon an altar. Ultimately, God spared Isaac and revealed that this exercise was a test of faith.

And wouldn't this edict have been traumatizing and cruel for both the parent and the child?

Magick

How is magic integrated into society?
Who can work magic? Is anyone disallowed from working magic?
How are works of magic accomplished?
What kind of preparation or study is required before undertaking a magical work?

Let's count von count those.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Only 4 questions for magic, LOL!

Well, Americans were the ones who did the witch trials.

I wonder if the lack of magic based questions correlates with the over abundance of religion based questions?

Is the magic section the shortest one? I think it is.

Damn! We gots to correct that, now don't we?

All three of my main characters are mages. I need magic based questions for my worldbuilding.

I'm surprised. Most worldbuilders, default to jumping straight in first thing on building their magic system, long before they build the rest of their world and it's cultures or governments. So I'm surprised that these students who made the list just blew over magic like this.

In any case, Quaraun is a Psion and Necromancer and makes Magic Items, while BoomFuzzy is a Lich Necromancer and Illusionist, and GhoulSpawn is a Demon with natural HellFire Pyromancy abilities. Soooo, we need to add some magic questions for our worldbuilding, don't we?

Extra questions of Magic I've added to this list.

Wizards vs Witches vs Sorcerers: How are they different?
Runes: how were they made, and could new ones be made? How can runes be used?
Magic Systems and How to Build Them
Necromancy: How will resurrection affect society as a whole?
How would the world as we understand it to day react to the existed of a spell that can turn corpses into undead?
Would governments use a Necromancy spell to disposable soldiers who know no fear or pain, as well as being the ultimate weapon of horror?
Would corporations use Necromancy to create low skill workers who they don't have to pay and who never tried?
How would the public react to undead by Necromancy?
Would people be willing to sell their corpses after their death to Necromancers so they can keep working to earn money for their families?
How would religions react to Necromancy?
Would Necromancy be the ultimate sin in their eyes?

The 31 Days of Worldbuilding Challenge:
Here are some Reddit Writing Prompts To Help You Discover More About Your World, By Inspiring You To Write Descriptions, Bios, Narratives, and/or Short Stories To Answer These Questions

I would like to do something a bit different for the 31 days of worldbuilding challenge, you can do it as well, if you like. But, here's the thought I had: Here on my website are several pages (70+ at the moment and more get added all the time) devoted to different aspects of world building... (If it has no link yet, it's because it's still under 2,000 words so I've not set it to live yet. Google requires an article to be 2,000 words long before they will index it)...

...and I would like to answer these questions/prompts, for EACH aspect.

For example, answer Day 1 on the plant page, answering the question focused on the plants of the region, than answer Day 1 focused on the population, than answer Day 1 focused on fantasy creatures, and so on and so forth, etc.

As such these prompts will appear on each page of the series, but my answers on each page will be different.

And as there are 70+ pages that I'm putting this on (linked above) that means I will have to answer EACH of the 3 questions for each of the 31 Days + the 9 Bonus days 70+ times answering each differently.

The challenge is actual 40 days, because it's 31 days + 9 bonus days. And each day has 3 questions. Meaning there are 120 questions total.

40 x 70 = 2,800 days x 3 = 8,400 questions total.

40 x 70 = 2,800 days \ 365 = 7+ years to complete this task, if I did only 1 per day, the way the challenge says to do.

Sooooo...

Today is May 15, 2021.

This means it could take me up to 2028 or more to complete this challenge.

Well, let's get started then and see how long it takes me to complete this. Tjis is definitly going to be a long term work-in-progress.

If you would like to do this challenge on your own website or blog, head to the Reddit page for the prompt, under the post, click the "SHARE" button, click the "EMBED" button, the follow the instructions on Reddit's popup to create the type of code your website uses, than click "COPY" and paste the code Reddit gives you into the HTML box of your webpage/blog. Than type your answer under it.

If you would like to post your answer publicly or see the publicly posted answers of others, click on the links to head to Reddit and see the full prompt page of each prompt, submit your own answer on the thread, or read the answers of others.

Most of these prompts had 20 to 50 submissions, some have 100 to 200 or more, so there is quite a lot of answers on each if you are looking for a lot of worldbuilding Fantasy reading to do.

For each prompt, I've included 1 to 4 example submissions from others, also via Reddit's embed codes. If you enjoy a writer's sample, be sure to click on their username link, and check out ALL of their submissions on Reddit.

I've tried to choose examples only from writers whom have large samples of their work published online. Many of them have their own websites where they feature their work, most are published or working towards publication, while others are DnD Dungeon Masters who build vast worlds for their campaigns and post them on persona DnD blogs.

They are all amazing writers, so be sure to check out their Reddit profiles for lists of links to their websites, blogs, WattPad/Deviant Art free-to-read-online accounts, SmashWords/Amazon profiles, web serials, etc.

Many of them are self-published via Kindle, so if you like their work, be sure to support them by buying their Kindle and/or Kindle Paperback editions.

So, I was over on Reddit, you like I often am, and found this question. And answered it, like I do. However, the answer I initially gave was a simple generic answer. If you want to read my original answer unaltered, simply click on Reddit's embed feature links which Reddit provides for webmasters to be able to post their answers on their websites, while linking back to the original thread on Reddit (if you didn't know Reddit offered and encouraged the use of this feature, look for it in the "share" features underneath every post, comment, and reply on Reddit).

I am answering random questions today about world building, over on Reddit and decided to take my answers from there and expand upon them even further over here. So that's what this page is. Me rambling on about various aspects of world building techniques I use when writing the Quaraun series. The questions I am answering are embedded here. Clicking the link in the embedded question will take you to the original Reddit page where you can see the original answer along with other people's answers. If you wish to comment, you can do so on the Reddit page where a place to do so is provided.

In any case, as with all of my Reddit answers found on my site here, my original post on Reddit is much shorter then the article here.

Getting To Know Your World & It's People Using
31 Days of Worldbuilding Challenge!
Day 1 of 31:
Famous Townsperson(Local), River Basin(Region), Disputed Territory(World)

Edit: Day 2 is This way!

Well, technically 31+ days of worldbuilding prompts. The goal is to follow along each day and make at least one thing for your world based on one of the categories: Local Area, Regional Area, or Worldwide. That way, you can focus on what you need most for your world even if you don't have much time each day to work on stuff!

For my submissions, I'm going to try and do all three each day, but barring that, I'm going to focus on the local area category for the Region of El in my Nomads of Sky Setting, since I've got a campaign coming up there.

Famous Townsperson: Terrance Mortighast - A well known bounty hunter, but his age is starting to get to him. Not only has he been letting more and more bounties pass him by, but rumor has it that he doesn't even chase his quarry beyond of the Free Cities anymore.

River Basin: Wisp Willow Falls - This once-pristine feature has seen a lot of development over the years due to how readily Wisp Willow, A plant that normally only grows around the very edge of an island, grows there. The area now hails as one of El's primary Aerillium producers.

Disputed Territory: Fermia Archipelago - Known primarily for it's Red Metal Mines, the remoteness of this island chain means that it generally gets claimed by whichever country happens to be passing closest to it at the time. It is one of the few lands to travel near enough to the Maelstrom to be dangerous, though, which gives the island chain a brief period of respite every few years. An ironic sort of peace, really.

A Form of Contraband

Dreams are a commodity in many of the markets of my world. A bottled creature that will give you a pleasant night's sleep and a dream created by design. However the quality that these dreams have means they are also surprisingly expensive and addictive. Many people who run out of dreams seek out cheaper alternatives. Since the dreammarket is highly regulated these are not always entirely legal, let alone safe to use. They may incude nightmares or worse, create a permanent comatose state.

NOTE: The Reddit post series for The 31 Days of Worldbuilding Challenge, ended at 13 instead of 31, but the chart gives us what the rest of the prompts should have been, so I will continue the list of the remaining prompts without links to Reddit posts as there were no more Reddit posts made in this series after Day 13.

Not part of The 31 Days of Worldbuilding Challenge, here is another worldbuilding prompt that I'm going to add to this list, just because I want to answer it on these pages.

25 Blank Space Prompts for Cultures!

Here are twenty-five blank space prompts that you can use with just about any of your fictional cultures, factions or civilizations. You don't need to complete all of them, and I don't have any intended level of detail, length or seriousness to them.

I've tried to avoid making any particular references to any genre - but some of these may not apply to your setting. (For example, if your species doesn't eat food, then the food one is pretty irrelevant and you can skip it.)

If you want, you can only answer a couple and go for very silly and short completions, or you can go all out on each of them and use them as mini-prompts to include quite a hefty amount of serious lore and worldbuilding into them.

Regardless of how you use them, I hope you find them entertaining, useful or even inspiring, and I can't wait to see what you guys answer with! I'm hoping to see some absolutely crazy ones. I'll answer with one of my own cultures in the comments, as well, in case you need an example!

We are ________.
Welcome to ________, where we ________!
The most important things in our culture are ________, ________ and finally, ________.
Our most cherished traditions are ________, ________ and ________.
We believe wholeheartedly in ________, but think that ________ is foolish.
Our rivals have insulted us by ________, now it is time to ________!
Our actions are justified by ________, of course.
Upon meeting new cultures, we like to ________.
Among us, outsiders are ________.
Our civilization's crowning achievement is ________.
We don't talk about ________, do not ask us about it.
Our leaders are ________ and ________.
In the presence of one's ________, one must ________.
________ is the best food there is!
Yes, we ________, why do you ask?
The best thing in life is ________.
Only thing worse than ________ is ________.
Where there's ________, there's always ________.
Many ________, but few ________.
________, like ________ always used to ________.
Always ________.
Never ________.
Remember ________!
Respect the ________!
In our language, we don't say "I love you," we say ________, which means ________, and I think that's beautiful. (Bonus: ________ - Real Translation)

As promised, here's an example using one of my own species from a sci-fi setting, the Keyterics! They're a little silly by design, given they're sort of a bunch of monkeys harnessing nuclear and tesla technology, getting drunk and doing neocolonialism.

We are the Keyterics.
Welcome to Keytero Vec, where we have a nuclear meltdown every week!
The most important things in our culture are being friendly and gregarious, getting those gains, and finally, rampant alcoholism.
Our most cherished traditions are wrestling socially, drinking together, and blowing things up.
We believe wholeheartedly in sharing technology with less advanced civilizations, but think that not bringing them under our political influence and neocolonial empire in exchange for said technology is foolish.
Our rivals have insulted us by calling us monkeys, now it is time to scream like monkeys!
Our actions are justified by the free market, of course.
Upon meeting new cultures, we like to shout and scream with enthusiasm and then invite them for a pint.
Among us, outsiders are welcome, let's have a drink! Come to Keytero Vec! You are going to Keytero Vec! \picks you up by force**
Our civilization's crowning achievement is splitting the atom.
We don't talk about how we've allegedly destroyed the native environments of several pristine alien planets, do not ask us about it.
Our leaders are corrupt and we like to watch them sword fight in the parliament.
In the presence of one's friends, one must shout as loud as possible to express joy and love.
Irradiated coyote cheese is the best food there is!
Yes, we eat uranium, why do you ask?
The best thing in life is booze, but food comes a close second.
Only thing worse than alcohol withdrawal is the taste of an orange or a lemon.
Where there's a Keyteric, there's always alcohol.
Many talk about helping pre-Space Age alien civilizations, but few are willing to arm them with automatic weapons and bring them into space.
Petrol moonshine, like granpa always used to make in his improvized brewery.
Always help the less fortunate.
Never do anything for free.
Remember to have a glass of alcohol with every meal!
Respect the man who brought the drinks to the party!
In our language, we don't say "I love you," we say "Drok khayi trak udzhyum, byu?" which means "You know I couldn't live without you, right?" and I think that's beautiful. (Real Translation: Something along the lines of "We'll bang, okay?")

America somehow now exists in your world. How does it react? What does your society think of it?

Being very arguably the world's most powerful nation, it's no surprise that the rest of the world's countries have a lot of very, very, VERY diverse opinions on America. If the United States suddenly existed in your world somehow, what would its people / nations think of it?

Would they try to invade?
Would they think Americans are heretics? An inferior race?
Would they submit to America's cultural exports and influence? Would they enjoy Coca-Cola?
How would they react to America's foreign policies and history of militarism and imperialism?
Would Americans be welcome in their nation?
How would your world react to America's technology?

How does it behave?

I like trees. A lot. Many trees are significant in our own cultures for reasons sacred, symbolic, or practical. I'm curious to know what important trees you all have for your worlds.

More on Worldbuilding In Fantasy Novels:

*UPDATE: ADDED November 7, 2013 - I suppose one thing I should point out at this point, before we go any farther, is my use of the word fantasy throughout this series. The bulk of this set of articles was written 7 years ago in April of 2006, parts of it appearing on EK's Star Log and other parts of it appearing on my personal Squidoo account. In the 7 years since writing this I've received hundreds of emails regarding it. A common question asked being: "Why do you talk of building a fantasy world if you don't write Fantasy?"

ANSWER: Fantasy with a capital "F" is the name of a type of fiction, in other words Fantasy is a genre. I do not write Fantasy fiction of the Fantasy genre, that is correct. I do however create fantasy realms for my Science Fiction and Horror works. I write Dark Fantasy, which is a sub-genre of Horror and Space Fantasy which is a sub-genre of Science Fiction.

Did you see it? No? Let me point it out: I write about fantasy worls as the exist in Horror and Sci-Fi but I do not write about fantasy world as they exist in Fantasy Fiction.

If it is not real it is fiction, if it exists only in fiction it it fantastical, if it is fantastical it is a fantasy item, because it is not a real item, however being fantastical does not make it part of the Fantasy genre, just as not everything in the Fantasy genre is always fantastical in nature.

The word "fantasy" with a lower case "f" is a word that means "not real" and has nothing to do with the Fantasy genre (capital "F") at all. And therefore when I say "fantasy realm" I mean a world that is NOT the Earth on which you and I live on in the real world, and am in no way, shape, or form referring to the Fantasy genre.

The methods I use to create my fantasy realms can be applied to ANY genre: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Romance, Western, etc.

2013 World-Building Series UPDATE:

Due to issues with content scraping, outright plagiarism, some of my articles appearing on OTHER Squidoo member accounts without my permission, and many of my "Squidoo articles" being stolen off Squidoo and posted without my permission on various blogs and sites including Wikipedia and Helium; all of my articles are in the process of being removed from Squidoo.

This series of World Building articles in one that has been heavily plagiarized over the years and as of September 2013, it can only OFFICIALLY be found here on EelKat.com - if you find it posted elsewhere, know it was stolen and I am not receiving royalties for it.

2014 Update:

As you know, or not, Squidoo owners Bonnie and Kimberly-Dawn stole thousands of Squidoo articles from Squidoo members, and tried to pass them off as their own, resulting in the lawsuit against Squidoo owners for the theft of tens of thousands of articles.

More than 100 of my articles were transferred off my Squidoo account and moved to Bonnie's account,

including the one about my cars The Dazzling Razzberry,
the one about The World's Most Haunted Car,
the one about the theft of my car,
my Autism lenses,
my Lord Sesshomaru series
and my Amphibious Aliens article;

while my authorship and writing articles, including this world-building series were deleted off my Squidoo account and transferred to Kimberly-Dawn's account!

!!!!!!!

I am shocked and flabbergasted at what these 2 women have done. That they thought they could get away with stealing so many articles from so many authors! Buying Squidoo from Seth Godin, did not give then the rights to our articles and these two horrible women had no right to delete them off of our member accounts and republish them on their own accounts, trying to pass them off as their own.

More then 100 Squidoo authors have gathered together in lawsuit against Squidoo owners, Bonnie and Kimberly-Dawn. The result of that is, Bonnie and Kimberly-Dawn, to avoid their asses being sued to hell and back, have now transferred the Squidoo lenses back to their original owners and deleted the entire Squidoo website.

Squidoo is officially gone. It exists no more. Squidoo is dead. Most Squidoo writers have opted to move to Hub Pages as HubPages has bought the remaining shambles of what is left of Seth Godin's Squidoo after Bonnie and Kimberly-Dawn massaquered it in their article stealing frenzy.

While I do have a HubPages account and my remaining Squidoo Lenses can be found there temporarily, they are being moved here and deleted off HubPages as I move them

April 2017 UPDATE:

As of now, all on my 600+ Squidoo pages are now moved here to EelKat.com and no more are remaining on HubPages.

It's hard to believe, Squidoo has been gone for 4 years now. It was such a big part of my life for a decade.

What Is This Site?

I'm an author. This is an author home page. It's about me, my life, my books, my hobbies, my home town, and anything else that applies to me and my life.

Since starting my writing career in 1978, I have written 130+ novels, 2,000+ short stories, 6,000+ non-fiction articles (ALL are found on this site), a few dozen stage plays, 12,000+ blog posts, and a few comic book scripts for Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck (I only worked for Disney one year (in 2005) and only wrote a few stories for their Danish comic books).

NOTE: I ONLY write the Quaraun series (aka The Twighlight Manor series aka The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane). In recent years there has been an issue with impersonators trying to pass books off as written by me, notably several non-fiction and Erotica books. I write neither nonfiction nor Erotica.

ALL of my books and their cover arts are listed on my website here. Beware of any books you find claiming to be me. If the books are NOT listed here on my website, they are NOT my books.

In fiction works, I specialize in Weird/Bizarro Tales set in 40th century CyberPunk-Quasi Medieval, Cozy Dark Fantasy and Science Fiction worlds featuring an intersex Elf and his Faerie husband main characters. I DO NOT WRITE ANY OTHER SERIES - THIS SERIES IS THE ONLY ONE I WRITE.

Non-fiction (found ONLY here on my site) is daily updates of events in my life, and how-tos on how I write my novels.

I DO NOT write Erotica.

I DO NOT write books with HUMAN characters.

The Erotica books and books with Human characters, that you are finding, are written by scammers trying to impersonate me.

There is an ongoing FBI investigation into this matter. If you find any such books, please report them to FBI Agengt Andy Drewer @207–774–9322

The FBI believes the people behind the impersonation accounts showing up, are relatives of the woman who murdered my son.

I am a mute/none verbal wheelchair user and I just had an encounter over my wheelchair, but being mute had no way to defend myself.

The Park Bench Method of Writing

The Space Dock 13 WebRing

The Park Bench Method of Writing

By EelKat Wendy C Allen

Author, Artist, Art Car Designer, Voodoo Priestess, and Hoodoo Rootworker

Author of Cozy & Gothic Fantasy, Sweet/Fluffy M/M Furry Romance, Cosmic Horror, Space Opera, & Literary Slice of Life, Yaoi genres.

I write Elves, Fae, Unicorns, & Demons in Limon Furry Yaoi that is not romantic enough to be Romance but also not erotic enough to be Erotica, and falls in the weird line of Slice of Life Literary without sex scenes, whatever genre you can think of that it might be. For some reason there are a lot of people spreading weird Erotica rumours about my books, trying to get them banned on grounds of being Eroica, even though there is nothing remotely erotic about anything I write.

Clearly they never read my books. However, it is causing a lot of Erotica readers to buy my books and get mad because there are no sex scenes. All I have to say to you is this: you shouldn't fall for the scammers who call themselves Christians and devote their lives to acting like Satan instead of acting like Christ.

Sorry honey, but, the people running around calling my books Erotica are the same dim witted idiots who are also running around saying my car has demons living in it, and are the same people slandering me with UFO rumors as well.

Sorry honey, but if you came here looking for Erotica, haunted cars, aliens, or UFOs, you can consider yourself scammed by a weird group of people who've made it their life goal to do everything in their power to try to cover up my son's murder.

ALL the rumors started a few weeks after my son's murder: the Stephen King rumors, the haunted car rumors, the alien abduction rumors, the UFO rumors, and yes, even the Erotica rumors---the fact remains, my son was murdered November 14, 2013 and the murderer is the one who started ALL of those rumors to try to turn the FBI investigation away from herself.

If you find ANYONE making videos, blogs, or podcasts about me, my car, or in any way, shape, or form slandering me by connecting me to Stephen King, Erotica, Aliens, UFOs or witchcraft, know that there is a 99% chance that YouTuber, Blogger, or podcaster either IS my son's murderer or is a family or friend of my son's murderer.

If you find ANYONE making videos, blogs, or podcasts about me, my car, or in any way, shape, or form slandering me by connecting me to Stephen King, Erotica, Aliens, UFOs or witchcraft, copy the link to the video, blog, or podcast and give it to FBI agent Andy Drewer who is the FBI agent in charge of my son's murder investigation.

Be aware that the New York Podcast is spreading information that was found ONLY in the classified documents of the Old Orchard Beach and Biddeford Police Departments, meaning someone involved in the New York podcast was AT THE MURDER WHEN IT HAPPENED.

NO ONE BESIDES THE MURDERER HERSELF knew what the murder weapon was. And New York Podcasters are broadcasting that information in a DELIBERATE ATTEMPT to sabotage the FBI investigation of my son's murder.

You can contact FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 or you can go into his office directly to talk to him in person at the FBI building on Middle street in Portland, his office is on the 4th floor, last hall on the parking garage side.

Because there is such a HUGE problem of people making fake "eelkat" accounts impersonating me, here are the links to my ACTUAL accounts:

| Amazon AC1 | Amazon AC2 | Blogger | DeviantArt | FictionPress | FB Profile | FB Page | FB Short Story Writers Group | Google Business | Google Developers | Gravatar | GumRoad | Instagram | Itch.io | LinkedIn | Medium | Myspace | NexusMods | Notd | OnlyFans | PayPal | Pinterest | Quora | Reddit | Spoonflower | Steam | TikTok | Tumblr | Twitch | Twitter | Vocal | YouTube | Zazzle | Google+ |

If you find an account online claiming to be me, that is NOT one of these profiles linked above, there is a 99.99% chance it is a FAKE account impersonating me and only a .001% chance it's actually me and I just forgot to link it here.

Also, I do not have or use email, so don't trust ANY emails you receive claiming to be me. Likewise I DO NOT make videos about my family, Etiole, my car, or Stephen King, so ALL videos you find of such nature are fake as well. Likewise I do not run fundraisers, request donations, or have any involvement in any such things, so beware of ANYTHING using my name to request money from you, because I simply DO NOT do that.

These fake emails, fake accounts, and fake videos all claiming to be me are an increasingly big problem since the pandemic, and are being made by scammers who have zero affiliation with me and are illegally using my name for their scumbag dealings.

Do NOT trust ANYONE in any way contacting you claiming to be me because I DO NOT contact people AT ALL!

I wonder if the verification will help end the fake scammer accounts? I've been having a problem with someone pretending to be me, and publishing nonfiction books (I don't write nonfiction) about really bad topics (like outright terrorism stuff - how to build bombs and things, really bad stuff), and then going on social media, and trying to pass the books off as mine, right down to listing my home address, posting photos of me and my family and my car, etc. FBI is involved, and found out the ISPN of the accounts is only 14 miles away from me so it's someone local doing it, and FaceBook was able to shut down the fake FB accounts via me submitting driver's lisence and birth certificate to FB to verify my account real, but it's not been so easy to get the fake accounts off places like Amazon.

MOST of the accounts ISPN go to the Biddeford McArthur Library’s public computer, so it is someone EXTREMELY LOCAL who is creating these fake impersonation accounts and they are doing it at the Biddeford public library.

I have been petitioning places like Amazon and Reddit and FaceBook to put ID verification in place, and all 3 are now doing it. Hopefully this verification system will help with that. It's been worse on Reddit too. FBI has found 33 different Reddit accounts pretending to be me, and 27 different FB accounts pretending to be me. Similar numbers on other places. Most are spreading wild rumors about aliens, ufo, Stephen King... FBI has not yet determined why the fakers are doing it, but my son was murdered 11 years ago, and these fake accounts started showng up then, and FBI thinks it's the murderer's family doing it to try to make me look crazy in order that no one will believe me son was murdered... weird and terrifying. So, yeah, if more places like Amazon and Reddit had id verification, that'd cut down on these sorts of scams.

The FBI is ACTIVELY TRACKING DOWN all of the accounts impersonating me - and there have been well over a hundred of them found so far… and if you find an account claiming to be me, you can send the url to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 or you can go into his office directly to talk to him in person at the FBI building on Middle street in Portland, his office is on the 4th floor, last hall on the parking garage side.

And while we are talking about it... this person is also doxxing me, AND doing this weird thing where they are finding mentally deranged people, convincing them that I am EelKat and my car is The Goldeneagle and my friend is Etiole. resulting in, 3 to 9 times a WEEK these mentally disturbed people show up in my yard, addressing me as EelKat, calling my homeless friend both "Etiole" and "alien" or "demon" and calling my Dodge "The Goldeneagle" while saying it is haunted!

Trust no one who says I am EelKat.

Miss Citten The Eel Kat is a fictional cat from the fictional planet Ptarmagin. EelKat is her title, not her name. It means, The cat who raises eels as pets.

EelKat is not real. I shouldn't have to say that. EelKat is a fictional talking cat from a series of Fantasy novels. Only someone too stupid to tell the difference between fiction and reality, says an author is one of their characters.

Do you call J. K. Rowling "Harry Potter"? No. You call her the author who created Harry Potter. So why the fuck do you call me EelKat? I am Wendy Christine Allen the author who created EelKat.

Likewise:

Trust no one who calls the local homeless WW2 vet Etiole.

Etiole is a fictional Electric Eel Merman, also known as The Silver Salamander, Captain Goldeneagle, and The Silver Arrow.

The local homeless man is not Etiole, no matter how much you call him Etiole, he's still not Etiole.

Etiole is not real. I shouldn't have to say that. Etiole is a fictional Eel MerMan from a series of Fantasy novels. Only someone too stupid to tell the difference between fiction and reality, says a disabled homeless man is a fictional character come to life.

The Sacred Pink JellyFish is a shapeshifting Elf who turns into a jellyfish. He's not real either.

Yes, that is a thing locals are saying now. The latest crazy rumor, is that The Scared Pink JellyFish is some real god of a real religion, that I really worship. Which is utterly stupid that people are saying this. I am a 5th generation LDS/Mormon. I do not worship jellyfish.

The Sacred Pink JellyFish is not real. I shouldn't have to say that. The Sacred Pink JellyFish is a Moon Elf wizard from a series of Fantasy novels.

The same can be said of ALL of my characters. They are all fictional. None of them is real.

The fact that there are SO MANY locals in Old Orchard Beach and Biddeford, Maine, who can not tell the difference between fictional characters and the author of the novels those characters comes from, is deeply concerning.

I don't know who is starting these rumors or why, but I do not appreciate people coming into my yard calling me EelKat. My homeless friend does not like people hunting him down and calling him Etiole or telling him he is an alien or demon. I do not like people calling my 1964 Dodge 300 "The Goldeneagle" or saying it is haunted. Nor do I like being told you worship the jellyfish from my novels because you think it is real.

I do finding it deeply concerning the sheer amount of people who are doing this, AND I find it very unsettling that there are so many who not only do not have enough brain to tell the difference between reality and fictional characters from novels, but also, worrying how many of them take the initiative to hunt me down and show up in my yard.

And if YOU are someone who things EelKat or Etiole or The Sacred Pink JellyFish are real, I would suggest you seek psychiatric help as quickly as possible. You NEED it.

Some additional thoughts on the FBI Murder Investigation of 144 & 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine:

How many murders are caused by cancel culture, have you ever wondered?
I have — because my son murdered by cancel culture, so I wonder this a lot.

I have never been able to wrap my mind around cancel culture. It has baffled me ever since I first discovered it, when the “God hates fags” group showed up in my yard to start a bonfire on my lawn and burn my books (I’m an author, 138 novels published since 1978) and I later found out the group had spent weeks on social media planning the event and gathering followers, because one minister got it into his head I was gay (I’m not) and write gay erotica (I don’t), and used gay hatred and white power rants (I’m not white, it’s the only thing they did get right) rants on Twitter to incite canceling of my supposedly gay erotica books (that were neither gay nor erotic) and get a mob to show up in my yard.

A week later a bomb blew up my house, I had to rebuild, a week to finishing rebuilding a backhoe drove over my house, 2 months (November 14, 2013) later a crazed woman with a golf club showed up at my college class shattered my spine and bashed my 8 month infant sons head in while screaming “transvestite freak” and claiming I (a cis female) was a “man in a dress”.

Because of Twitter’s cancel culture I homeless, now 11 years, I am crippled paralyzed unable to walk, now 11 years, and my son is dead and the FBI investigation of his murder is still going on these 11 years later, and the killer still walks free and unidentified, and the primary reason for being unidentified is there are over 30k people online who spread these false accusations of gay erotica and transgender about me and the FBI has to investigate EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, yes, ALL of them, yes, if you’ve ever posted hate about me online you ARE being investigated for your potential involvement in my son’s murder, and in 11 years, they’ve only made it a quarter of the way through that list, and not yet found golf club woman..

And the man who started it all, Peter something, is now the biggest YouTuber in Quebec and the biggest anti trans YouTuber on the planet, and has yet to be held responsible for starting the gay erotica and transvestite rumours about me on Twitter because, for some reason there are no laws that hold cancel cries accountable for the the death and destruction their hivemind followers do after being incited into a frenzy by the cancelers tweets.

Perhaps the issue is I am too old to understand the herd mentality of cancel culture, I grew up on a very isolated egg farm and I was 42 years old before cancel culture existed, or perhaps my not using social media causes me to not understand it.

But I wonder how many people out there are like me, lives destroyed by haters, who hate things about me, that aren’t even things I am or do, because they believe one cancelers lies on Twitter and never took the time to fact check before they reacted.

EVERYTHING We Are Allowed To Publicly Release About The FBI Investigation Can Be Found HERE

Do you know who this woman is?
If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

On November 14, 2013, she used a golf club to bash out the brains of my 8-month-old baby Xavier-Octavian Allen. She called herself “Claire” as though she thought I knew her, but I know no one named Claire and had never seen her before. She was about 65 years old and would be around 75 years old today in 2025. The FBI believes the woman who murdered my son is the same woman who hired the backhoe to drive over my house on August 8, 2013, a few weeks before my son’s murder.

If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

My house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, on July 4, 2013 and on August 8, 2013 after vandals drove a backhoe over it. The backhoe is still running in this photo, I got home from work while they were doing it and the white haired man jumped out and ran away leaving the backhoe running, until it ran out of gas. It sat in my yard for 6 months until the police finally towed it away.

She is the same woman who severed my spine with the same golf club used to murder my baby. She had distinctive two-inch wide stripes in her hair all the way around her head, platinum blond and dark reddish brown, in a pageboy haircut.

If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer,please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

Of the Portland, Maine FBI Office, 4th floor, Middle Street Portland.

FAQ: How Did the FBI get involved?

The FBI believes this woman who crippled me and murdered my baby on November 14, 2013, is connected to the backhoe that illegally drove over my house making me homeless on August 8, 2013.

Between June 2001 and continuing on into 2025, there have been over 200 violent attacks on 146 Portland Ave, Old orchard Beach, Maine, including the beheading of 75 pet roosters April 2007, whose headless bodies were hung in my rosebushes from rope nooses.

The FBI believes ALL of these events are being done in an attempt to drive me off my land.

According to the FBI, in 2007, a developer went to the Old Orchard Beach Town Hall and filed an illegal building permit for a 27 unit condominium, on my land and CLAIMED to be the owner of my land. This land has been in my family since 1531, we are Native Americans of the Kickapoo tribe and there are more than 500 graves, most dating from the 1500s to 1600s on my land.

This land has been in my family well over 500 years, and I inherited it from my grandmother Helen Ricker Allen in 1983.

The FBI believes, ALL of the slander/rumours that falsely accuse me of being transgender were ALSO started by this woman who murdered my son, in a further attempt to drive me from my land via working locals of Old Orchard Beach into a trans-hating frenzy.

If you are a real estate agent and ANY ONE contacts you interested in buying 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, PLEASE report that "client" IMMEDIATLY to FBI Agent Andy Drewer, head of my son's murder investigation, and head of the investigation into the 200+ acts of vandalism and hate crimes which have occurred at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine between 2001 to 2025.

If you have ANY information about ANY of the incidents, attacks, vandalisms, and hate crimes that took place between 2001 and 2025, on 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, please give that information to FBI agent Andy Drewer as well.

My land is not for sale and ANY ONE offering to buy it is likely connected to this woman who murdered my son.

ANYONE interested in buying my land has a HIGH PROBABILITY of being hired BY MY SON'S MURDERER, and you MUST send their information to the FBI.

If you have any information about the identity of this child murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322

She shows up at my yard (both in Old Orchard and in Biddeford), at my college classes, at my workplace... always violent and smashing things, always yelling "transvestite freak" and similar hate slurs about transgender people (she seems to believe I am transgender even though I am I cis woman, and her hatred of transgender people seems to be her primary motive.).

At one point the man who was with her called her "Vallerie". But she herself talked of herself (in a bizarre, not how normal people talk "3rd person") Claire. She kept saying things like "I'm Claire, bitch!" and "I'm Claire you fucking transvestite freak!"

She really, really, really, really was going overboard in emphasizing that her name was Claire - to the point that I am led to believe that her name is NOT Claire, and that she was in fact pretending to be someone else, who's name was Claire.

The fact that the man with her (who was later discovered to be a Biddeford police officer - he was identified in February 2025 when he was killed in a car accident in New Hampshire.) called her "Vallerie" and not "Claire" when he talked to her, indicates, that her name is more likely to be Valerie, then Claire.

But I know no one named either Vallerie or Claire, and outside of these events where she shows up and attacks, I've never seen this woman before and have no clue who she is.

She has attacked more then a dozen times, IN ADDITION to the golf club attack when she murdered my son and crippled me.

She frequently dies her hair and wears wigs. And has looked quite different in the over TWELVE YEARS of her stalking and harassment

I have 3 broken vertebrae, 3 ruptured discs, a broken sariliac, hip dysplasia (broken hip and broken pelvic bone, with hip bone pushed back into pelvic bone and fused together), in addition to rheumatism in both hips, both knees, and both wrists, as well as MS.

Rheumatism I've had since I was 8.

MS I've had since I was 16.

All the rest was done by the crazy blonde woman with the golf club, November 14, 2013, at Southern Maine Community College. I was also 8 months pregnant and she murdered my son as well. I was paralyzed for 18 months and had to relearn to walk. Her hair was wild extreme unnatural rave style 2 to 3 inch wide platinum blond and dark blonde-brown stripes.

I found a pin that shows a similar hairstyle:

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/tonos-de-cabello-rubio--322148179608879161/

In May 2015 I returned to work, walking minimally with a cane.

On June 24, 2016, the same mystery blond woman with her hair now dyed rusted reddish blond, woman, this time driving a late 1990s vintage gold Volvo station wagon, drove up beside my car, while I was putting groceries in my car at Scarborough Walmart, jumped out, grabbed an empty shopping cart from the shopping cart corral, and attacked again, same as she did with golf club three years earlier. This attack is the one which caused worse damage, and I have still not yet recovered from now in 2025.

In the 2016 attack, her hair was dyed an unnatural burgundy red, with slight grey roots growing out, the same unnatrually straitened pageboy style, and she was wearing a burgundy sweater that time.

She most often looks like this, with the red hair... and it was what she looked like on the December 24, 2016 Christmas Eve attack at my dad's apartment building. And THIS attack we have on camera, and so we have actual video footage of her... including, we have audio files of her yelling and chanting "transvestite freak!" while shooting a gun, during the Christmas Eve attack at 27 High Street, Biddeford, Maine.

Her hair has been a different colour each time she has shown up. In 2021 it was a neon dayglow purple, but still the same pageboy. The 2021 attack she was wearing a black poly satin dress with neon lime green trim

When she showed up at PortCon 2023 and the Round 1 at the Maine Mall the same day, she was again wearing the black dressed, but this time her hair was died black, but she was wearing a neon dayglow lime green "clown wig".

Her face is covered in deep "smokers wrinkles" and her skin is very, very abnormally dry and flakey.

She had a somewhat large nose, (kind of more like a man's nose then a woman's nose) and very thin lips (almost none existant, again, more like a man's lips, then a womans)... she is a LOT bigger then me... a LOT - I am 5'6" and she's maybe 5'11" to 6'2"... she's like really, really, really big.

at one point at the Round One in the Maine Mall attack, she pulled off the green clown wig while she was yelling and her hair was a black-black super fake dyed black pageboy.

The 2016 attack is the one that did the most damage and. That is why I have the cane, walker, rollator, and wheelchair. And which one I use is determined by how much pain I am in at the time I try to stand and move.

She is the one the FBI is looking for. He said he thinks Bruce’s family knows who she is. He said they become alarmigly, agitated, evasive, and violently hostile whenever questioned about her.
