Introductory RemarksGreetings. Welcome or welcome back.
To order any of the other PHANTACEA Mythos Print Publications that are still available, including returned copies of PHANTACEA #1, click here or here. (If you're ordering from me, certified cheques or money orders only please. I decided not to incur the cost of trying to set up an online payment system since they seem to benefit the intermediary more so than the publisher.) Next door is the usual Hestia Housekeeping subsection of 'pHpubs'. Down below is a vastly expanded list of lynx to a number of typically idiosyncratic mini-essays and/or Character Likeness studies I've prepared over the years. It's only sort of alphabetical but, in the absence of a PHANTACEA-specific search engine it'll have to do for now. Most of the selections illustrate some of the peculiar perspectives
I've developed while writing the PHANTACEA Mythos. The rest are direct quotes from Contact me at jmcp@phantacea.com Feel free to ask any questions you might have regarding PHANTACEA. I'll do my best to answer them either directly or right here in 'pHpubs'. Stories and Synopses

Integrating Websites & Other Great Godly Goings-OnRemind me never to do this again. The PHANTACEA Mythos online has been on the worldwide web in one form or another since 1996. At first I hand-coded everything, then I switched to a succession of programs, not all of which I can remember let alone still have. Finally, circa 2002, I settled on Macromedia's Dreamweaver, which is now owned by Adobe. (I recently bought the CS4 version of it to go along with a brand spanking new computer that's no doubt already obsolete.) The point being, yawn, the coding's become an unsightly, but still surprisingly functional, mess. So, after setting up jmcptimps and then www.phantacea.com over the course of the last year and more, I finally got around to returning here to my flagship website, pH-Webworld. My goal was to integrate the three sites. Which is all well and fine, not to mention overdue. Except I made the mistake of trying to upgrade pH-Webworld such that it's more compliant with all this CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) stuff that's come into play since 2002, the last year I took an html (hyper-text markup language) course. Put it this way, other than for Serendipity Now I haven't written anything new for over a month and, as below, I'm supposed to be working on prepping both As for why I even started the process, well, I've only got so much space on this server so it makes sense to spread the wealth around, so to speak. By wealth I'm mostly referring to graphics. There's a great many of them and they take up most of my territorial allotment within this portion of Cyberia. Plus, once they're up, I'm loathe to take any down. Since most are also my own shots, and this is my website, I don't see why I should either. (BTW, I particularly like this one. Ask me it's eminently worth a double-click. I like it so much, I did it twice.) That said, I have to admit that 3 of the four graphics below aren't my shots and that parts of the fourth, the one I like so much, aren't either. However, such is the nature of the webpage to which they belong, the aforementioned Serendipity Now, that I don't really feel guilty about scanning them in or copying them off the Web. I believe in giving credit where credit is due so, as much as possible, I acknowledge where I got the images in the mouse-overs. Since a couple of browsers I could name don't provide mouse-overs any more, I also try to link notes re them to the graphics I put online. Top of Page - Top of Section - Carry on with Goings-On - Down to Double-Click Images - Down Farther to Notes on Graphics - Sites with Loads of Graphics - Novels in Search of a Paying PublisherEven though, being devils, there's something decidedly ungodly about them, in terms of great godly goings-on there's been a fair amount of that as well. Not all of it's taken place in my head either. Thrygragos Mithras, the Great God of Stacks of Stuff, is the focus of Appearances proving deceptive, the Moloch Sedon doesn't have much to do in 'Feel Theo' except wait in bed for Pyrame Silverstar to show up in Grand Elysium along with her latest shell (who might be Ute Tethys, as also per here). He's more conspicuous, albeit most often by his absence, in '1000 Daze', though, but makes only a token appearance in As for the Dual Entities (Helios called Sophos the Wise and his Milady Memory), well, um, hey, they're definitely not in At any rate, among the many sites I've spruced up include the section on PHANTACEA's Cornerstone Characters. You might want to avoid it, though, unless you're in the mood for spoilers. If you've been scrolling through this page then you've already noticed another section I've not only spruced up but expanded mightily. That'd be the Essentials area of pHpubs. It's where the real work of website integration takes place and it's only going to get larger as time races by, as per usual much too fast. As for the thumbnails, they're double-clickable, if that's a word. Except they don't open up a window containing a larger image of same; they open up a window containing a larger image of similar but different. Good clicking. That'll do for now. Until the next time, be pHantacizing you. Oh, and in case you haven't done so already, here's a friendly reminder:

Notes on Graphics:

|||||||||
Sites with Loads of Graphics:Google.ca supplies what amounts to a pH-Webworld web gallery. Just go to http://www.google.ca/, hit the images link and type in PHANTACEA. Pasting into the address area of your browser the following Url might work as well: http://images.google.ca/images?q=phantacea&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&start=100&sa=N&filter=0 PHANTACEA on the Web is chock-a-block with visuals. Good places to ogle artwork from the comic books and graphic novel are One to Six, 'Twenty-Five Years Plus' and what began as 'The Genesis of PHANTACEA' web-page. Most of the other graphics are scans I did of my own photographs or material I put together using PHOTOSHOP. All the essays are loaded with images. Try out the framed version of the Main Menu. You won't go anywhere else but, then again, you won't get lost either.
