| About: | This is a place to post an original story I'm working on, working title "Jack And Ellis." New chapters are posted intermittently, and there is no need to friend if you read ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} copperbadge as all new entries are linked from that journal as well. Jack And Ellis: A Steampunk Fantasia is the story of an alternate world in which mechanical engineering has taken a backseat to Creationism, a belief system predicated on the ability of some people to "create" objects for brief periods of time. The world depends on trained Creationists for everything from seagoing vessels to ice-cream bowls, but certain members of society believe that Creationism is stifling true technological advancement. Jack Baker, a young and brilliant student at Harvard University for Engineers, has been recruited by famous novelist and sometimes-spy Ellis Graveworthy to assist him in a secret mission to Australia, also known as the Dead Isle. Accompanying them on their mission is Jack's best friend Clare Fields, a student Creationist who was sent away from Australia by her parents at the age of three and has no memory of her homeland. Faced with double-agents, military invasions, and their own doubts, Jack, Clare, and Ellis must journey to the Dead Isle in a rickety airship on a diplomatic mission which will take them from the militant Port Darwin to the heart of the Aboriginal tribes. Accompanied by a stowaway Batararian named Purva de la Fitte, they will discover the beauty and terror of the Dead Isle and learn why Australia, of all the world, is the only land without Creation.
