* The Succession to the Crown Act (2013) amended the provisions of the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement to end the system of male primogeniture, under which a younger son can displace an elder daughter in the line of succession. The Act applies to those born after 28 October 2011. The Act also ended the provisions by which those who marry Roman Catholics are disqualified from the line of succession. The changes came into force in all sixteen Realms in March 2015 *

~ A story about the fraternity of critics but in reality, it was a dark brethren linked by profane rites and blood vows.

~ A city where the streets are paved with time.

~ A train full of silent women driven by a blind man.

~ A were-goldfish who transforms into a wolf at full moon.

~ A man who inherits a library card to the Library of Alexandria.

~ Two old women taking a weasel on  holiday.

~ An old man owned the universe and kept it in a jam jar.

 ~ A man who falls in love with a paper doll.

~ Magical and alchemical relations seen as a cargo cult.
