Darkmark's Lair

Hello and welcome to Darkmark's Lair. For many years this was the fansite of the brown Yoshi known as Darkmark, showcasing his works along with those submitted by members of the site.
However, as of August 22nd, 2011, seven years after its creation and then its relocation to the current free.fr address, the site is officially finished and no further changes will be made.
All of the published works have remained here for anyone interested, but it is no longer possible to join or submit artwork, so please consider this a museum of sorts for the owner and the members of Darkmark's Lair.

visitors since September 2nd, 2004 (when we relocated to free.fr).

22/08/11: Fanfics Update:

It's been a few months short of two years since the last update. Where has the time gone? Unfortunately, I regret to announce that I can no longer maintain the site to the level it once was held at, and am no longer accepting contributions for its material.

However, there is good news! I have published all the remaining chapters of Cursed Yoshi. Yes, that's right; it has been written and published to its conclusion. I decided that there was no point to holding out any longer and that even if I did make further changes to it, they would be superfluous at best.

I'd like to thank everyone who has visited the site and anyone who will arrive here in the future for their support and encouragement. As far as I know, the site will not be taken down, so I will leave it up for everyone to peruse at their leisure.

Now, let's play together...
Together under the clearest of Blue Skies.
