Jeffery "DarkOra" Stevenson writes and letters the long-running webcomic, Brat-halla (following the Norse gods during their elementary school days), which got its start over at Kevin Smith's MoviePoopShoot.com (and later, QuickStopEntertainment.com). He, Brat-halla artist Seth Damoose self-published a comic called Steampunk Faeries (militant faer-folk defending their underground home with 3-foot tall steampunk mecha) and along with Brat-halla colorist Anthony Lee, they also spent two years working on the webcomic Spook'd (classic movie monsters spoofing reality TV).
Feel free to check out his blog or list of published works at the Dark-n-Dam'd website
Who I'd like to meet:
Fans of comics, movies, filmmaking, gaming (both computer and pen-and-paper types), and the fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres... or just friendly people in general (can never have too many friends).

... No more trees. No more Thneeds. No more work to be done.
So, in no time, my uncles and aunts, every one, all waved me good-bye. They jumped into my cars and drove away under the smoke-smuggered stars.
Now all that was left 'neath the bad smelling-sky was my big empty factory... the Lorax... and I.
The Lorax said nothing. Just gave me a glance... just gave me a very sad, sad backward glance... as he lifted himself by the seat of his pants.
And I'll never forget the grim look on his face when he heisted himself and took leave of this place, through a hole in the smog, without leaving a trace.
And all that the Lorax left here in this mess was a small pile of rocks, with one word... "UNLESS. " Whatever that meant, well, I just couldn't guess.
That was long, long ago.
But each day since that day I've sat here and worried and worried away.
Through the years, while my buildings have fallen apart, I've worried about it with all of my heart.
"But now," says the Once-ler, "Now that you're here, the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear.
UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.
It's not.
"SO... Catch!" calls the Once-ler.
He lets something fall.
"It's a Truffula Seed.
It's the last one of all! You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.
Plant a new Truffula.Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back." ...
Happy Earth Day ... remember to think green today and everyday! Hugs, Marilyn
"For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, For love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends."

Dear One, Blessings to you and your loved ones for a happy holiday filled with laughter and love. Please know that I count you among my most precious blessings. Thank you for your friendship and Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Marilyn
"Oh, ho, ho it's magic, you know Never believe it's not so It's magic, you know Never believe it's not so.
Never been awake Never seen a day break Leaning on my pillow in the morning Lazy day in bed Music in my head Crazy music playing in the morning light.
Oh, ho, ho it's magic, you know Never believe it's not so It's magic, you know Never believe it's not so.
I love my sunny day Dream of far away Dreaming on my pillow in the morning Never been awake Never seen a day break Leaning on my pillow in the morning light.
Oh, ho, ho it's magic, you know Never believe it's not so It's magic, you know Never believe it's not so.
Oh, ho, ho it's magic, you know Never believe it's not so It's magic, you know Never believe it's not so."
Hi Honey, Happy Sunday! I hope you've had an amazing weekend so far. I'm sending you wishes for a magical week ahead! Luv'n'stuff, Marilyn
In the cool of the evening when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy, I call you up and ask you if you want to go and meet and see a movie.
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night, And then you stop, and say, "All right." Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'. And if a fella looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'.
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand, And then you smile, and hold my hand. Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you. Spooky!
If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin', I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'. Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams, So I'll propose... on Halloween. Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you. Spooky, Spooky, Spooky, Oh-whoa, all right, I said Spooky!

Hi Honey, I'm sorry I haven't been online much. I've had a bad case of the flu that just wouldn't go away. Thanks for staying my friend through my absence. I hope you're enjoying the Autumn weather where you are. Have a beautiful week! Hugs, Marilyn
A photograph, bent and worn with time Takes me back in my mind To the day when I saw your face Your smile, your eyes, your grace How you moved with ease How your eyes playfully teased So long ago in many ways Yet still today that love stays.
If you're feeling sad and lonely There's a service I can render. Tell the one who loves only you, I can be so warm and tender. Call me, don't be afraid. You can call me. Maybe it's late but just call me. Tell me and I'll be around.
When it seems your friends desert you, There's somebody thinking of you. I'm the one who'll never hurt you, Maybe that's because I love you.
Call me, don't be afraid. You can call me. Maybe it's late but just call me. Tell me and I'll be around.
Now don't forget me, 'cause if you let me I will always stay by you. You gotta trust me, that's how I must be There's so much that I can do.
If you call, I'll be right with you You and I should be together. Take this love I long to give you I'll be at your side forever.
Call me, don't be afraid. You can call me. Maybe it's late but just call me. Tell me and I'll be around.

Hi Honey, Happy Friday! Have a beautiful weekend! Hugs, Marilyn
Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning Heavy metal thunder Racin' with the wind And the feelin' that I'm under Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space
Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be wild We can climb so high I never wanna die
