Raoul Meuldijk

By another random event of evolution I was born, and have been fit enough to still be around to write some stuff.
I live in Wageningen in The Netherlands and work in the field of animal genetics at the university.
I'm involved in tabletop and live fantasy role-playing. From there, it's a small step to writing :-)

My inspiration comes from writers such as Arthur Clarke, Douglas Adams, Iain Banks, Carolyn Cherryh and Isabel Hoving.

• Borenard's three entries are about a travelling priest.</li>
• Unlife takes the undead from the opposite perspective :-)</li>
• Loving Eros is my first try at science fiction; I like asteroids and wanted to write something about them, especially since the NEAR probe's mission.</li>
• Horse and Carrot has something to tell about horses with ornaments :-)</li>
• Pyromagomaniac and Subtle Revenge are about insane wizards.</li>
• Unintended Consequence explores an unlikely cause for a well-known tragedy.</li>
• For External Use Only is about the importance of understanding the manual of your magical items.</li>

Latest addition: For External Use Only, February 2007.

Lately I've been trying to learn to draw comics. My World of Warcraft comics can be found here:

Guestbook for Meuldijk

Date Name Comment   24 Feb 2006 Christabel Nolan Loading... Ooooh!!! Alchemical experiment? How exciting. Is it exciting? or just like 'hum-de-dum, more alchemical experiments today...' ? Man, I might have to actually read some of your stuff now, instead of hovering listlessly on your main page. What would you like me to start with? Raoul Meuldijk replies: "  well, it involved constructing this transparent vial with an energy capacitor, and then filling it with raw magic, so my body would be sped up and hurled through the magic barrier that enclosed our village. However, the picture was taken a moment after I had filled the vial with whisky, which sped my body up and hurled me onto the magic barrier, which quite hurt. Turned out I needed a colleague's barrier-weakness-detector and a witch's dematerializing robe. What makes my main page more interesting than the stories that it keeps you there? I would like you to start with whatever of the stories that are outlined in my bio, appeal to you." 24 Feb 2006 Christabel Nolan Loading... Is that a raincoat you wear? Or is it some strange ritualistic killing robe? No offence intended.. .... gees I'm tactless. Raoul Meuldijk replies: "Your sense of self-insight is impeccable.It is an official Yellow Order Monks robe of the Demsterkloof monastery. The Yellow Order are the more practical people compared to the always-babbling and meditating White Order, as is made clear by the toolbelt and the painful look on my face after a failed alchemical experiment." 25 Feb 2006 Christabel Nolan Loading... Either whiskey equates to raw magic, or you made a very silly mistake. Raoul Meuldijk replies: "Indeed that was the moment that, contrary to popular belief, I found out that whisky is not raw magic." 8 Apr 2006 Kelsey Van Horn Loading... Thank you for commenting at my gallery! And I like your writings a lot. I have no critiques to give that haven't already been given, it would seem. ^__^ Your scifi stories are good, but I find the silly ones like "Horse and Carrot" all too amusing. Greetings from a half-Dutchie! ~DL Raoul Meuldijk replies: "And thank you for the return visit! Always good to hear you enjoyed my site. Dankjewel!" 17 Jan 2007 Marika Viklund Loading... Hi Raoul! Long time no see! How's life? I have acctually an update on the way... believe it or not! Only took a few years! It should be up in 2-3 days (according to the mod's lock on my ticket)! I'd appreciate if you'd come by and take a look at the story and tell me what you think! You give good critic and are a good writer! Raoul Meuldijk replies: "As you've seen I read it And now I finally have a new piece up as well!" 22 Jan 2007 M. DalaneAurelaPhen Abdou Loading... hey I thought I would drop by to tell you that I have finished the story if you want to read it. Raoul Meuldijk replies: "Thanks for coming! I read the next 'Roses' chapter on your shelf." 13 Nov 2007 Marika Viklund Loading... Hi! Thanx for the tag on me too! ^^ 2 Apr 2008 Jacob Bowdin Loading... You have some very entertaining stories up here, I will have to return and do some more looking about... congrats on getting a MC by the by, shiny objects are always nice. Raoul Meuldijk replies: "Thanks for visiting and reading so many of my stories! I’ve been drawing more than writing lately, so I should get back to writing to put more up." 4 Oct 2008 Maarten Geuskens Loading... Hi Raoul, thanks for the favorite! Bye see you next Durchelfwood meeting Raoul Meuldijk replies: "Good to see you! Yes, we should meet again. I moved to The Hague, so I’m closer to most of you now." 15 Oct 2008 Marjolijn Laarmans Loading... You have written interesting stories. I’ll pass by again to read some more. And, how is the drawing going...? Raoul Meuldijk replies: "Thanks! You can see how the drawing is coming along here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~raoulm/comic/ and here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~raoulm/comic/sketches/ " Page: [1] 2 3 4 5
