Well, I guess you could review this thing and tell me if it is easily understandable.

Let's do this! Here is my absurdly long definition of Caliphate.

Spoiler: Caliphate (click to show/hide)

I classify the caliphates in terms of the reason they made the claim to run a Caliphate (and a Caliphate may make mulitiple claims), but there may be other Caliphates out there that doesn't fit into these claims:
*Piety: They are pious.
*Selection by the Shura: They have been elected.
*Control over "Key Cities": They control very important cities.
*Inhertiance/Dynastic Succession: They have descended from another Caliph or from Muhammed's family.
*Madhi Claimant: They claim to be the Madhi.

Well I understood it, but it's really only aimed at a specific audience (I just enjoy knowing stuff my perrs don't). Nothing wrong with that, just make it clear (unless you want it to be aimed at a wider audience)

It was good. I thought it was a bit odd, but good  :)

Just a little taste of crazy at the end. Plus it seemed to me that the rhyming was a little forced (but I don't like using rhyming EVER)

What do you think so far?

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.

Just so you don't think I'm abandoning this thread, i have two(!) stories in the pipeline. No time to write up either today or tommorow though.

I really like what people have posted on this but I wish they would post stuff more often, then again it takes time to write stuff and edit before shoving it on here so I guess we play the waiting game.

Here's a story! It needs editing and such(not to mention a title!), but I think it it's still decent enough to post. I slashed off a paragraph at the end, because I didn't think it gelled with the rest of the story.

Here ya go!

And the slashed paragraph, for those intrested:
