Beyond the Bookshelf is a social MUSH loosely (and I mean loosely!) based around several literary themes, set in an imaginary world that can only be accessed through a secret door cleverly disguised as a bookshelf at the back of Mr. Ferrell's office.

The MUSH languishes! There's nothing—NOTHING—going on right now. People tenatively peek in and out...we've seen brief appearances from Trogdor; Gwydion stuck his head in once or twice; Cimorene occasionally dances through, singing aimlessly to herself and strewing flower petals around before vanishing in a puff of, well, whatever it is she vanishes in. Other than that, Mr.Ferrell, Pandora, and Enki are perpetually Idle—though Pandora the Ever Faithful has actually been known to strike up conversations with those wandering through...

Someday...someday, perhaps I will summon up the energy to bring BtB back to its former almost-glory...

Until then, sheesh! At least ask Webster to look up a couple of words for you or something, eh? He's been telling me he's been feeling awfully depressed lately.
