::About Hollow Lands::

Why build this site at all? While surfing the net for WK Fanfics, I found it incredibly hard to find any...and what I found was most often not worth reading. So I endeavoured to collect those fics I did like, and encourage those willing to write with the prospect of a place to archive. And hence, Hollow Lands is born.

Where did the name came from? A quote by Ernest Dowsen from 'A Last Word' in 1899:

Let us go hence-the night is now at hand;
Thge day is overworn, the birds all flown;
And we have reaped the crops the gods have sown,
Despair and death; deep darkness o'er the land,
Broods like an owl; we cannot understand
Laughter or tears, for we have only known
Surpassing vanity: vain things alone
Have driven our perverse and aimless band.

Let us go hence, somewhither strange and cold
To Hollow Lands where just men and unjust
Find end of labour, where's rest for the old,
Freedom to all from love and fear and lust.
Twine our torn hands! O pray the earth enfold
Our life-sick hearts and turn them into dust.
