-->--'''Mr. Karrucci.'''

''The Society On Da Run'' (mostly abbreviated as TSODR) is a series of popular Science Fiction chapbooks by happy-go-lucky American writer L'Poni Baldwin, who [[HeAlsoDid also wrote]] La Cicala di Italia.

The stories and poems take place in a world inhabited by insectoid aliens, hybrid owls, alien faeries, android vampires, an empire of Space Dragons called Draconizica, and other supernatural anomalies. The chapbooks also includes their fair share of MindScrew and [[JigsawPuzzlePlot complex]] plotlines.

A lot of stories are about the adventures of the seventeen eligible crown princes of the Antonin/Draconizica Empre. A great deal of stories cannot be [[BrainBleach unread]]. They stay in your subconscious for a '''very''' long time.

As for its title, this isn't a series about [[IncrediblyLamePun a hip hop society on da run]]. Its not about [[MagicalGirl magical boys, either]].
