Just the FAQ
- How do I get an account on 1000Gears?
- Where do you get the artwork?
- How do I learn to write well?
Spambots have made it impractical for us to allow automatic account creation (it clutters up the database even after we ban them). You don’t need an account to comment, but we’ll be happy to make you one if you really want it. Drop a comment somewhere and we’ll be happy to make one for you (we can even edit the request out of your comment later).
Almost all of the artwork or photography you’ll find here is original for this site, either by Adrian himself, by readers, or by other artists that Adrian has invited to participate. Occasionally we may post screencaps, and Tanko’s artwork for The Tears of Anael comes from the 2004 YaoiCon Fiction Anthology. If you are curious about particular illustrations, just click; each one links to a page with a little background information. The surprise graphics that sometimes appear in the site’s header are a mix of random Easter eggs and teasers for stories; more than anything, they’re invitations for you to go exploring.
You start by writing one million words that suck. Trust me.
