So. It's all the fault of Gary Olson. Gary, for those of you who don't know the name, is perhaps the best of the old Superguy writers. His series were well done, with the appropriate blend of humor and pathos. And he managed to actually finish them. He finished Rad. He finished CalForce. He finished… Continue reading Superguy: The League #1

From the Vault: Langue
Another fragment. Another incomplete story. Distinctive this time because A) I have absolutely no recollection of writing it (though it's clearly something I wrote) and B) I have absolutely no idea where I was going with it. But it seems interesting to me. In a way, it's more stock than a lot of what I've… Continue reading From the Vault: Langue

JW: Vilify 5, Part 2
It's always interesting to go from "the plan" to the execution. Scenes you think will be long and drawn out turn out to be perfunctory. Scenes you figured wouldn't go anywhere will recast your series in an entirely new light. The characters in your notes come to life and start making noises at you. Sometimes,… Continue reading JW: Vilify 5, Part 2

From the Vault: America the Beautiful
When we go back to stuff I wrote in the past, moving forward, I think we'll call it "From the Vault." That's the sort of thing we'll do on Tuesdays and Thursdays, on those Tuesdays and Thursdays we actually do something. This is a fragment -- an incomplete chapter one of a book never written,… Continue reading From the Vault: America the Beautiful

Why do people check the time on mobile phones instead of watches?
It was a week of system issues and exhaustion, but that is done and now it's Myth Time again, and with a little luck we'll be on the full on normal schedule again starting this week. Starting off, we're going back to Banter Latte pal CrazyDave, who asks us: Why have people stopped wearing watches… Continue reading Why do people check the time on mobile phones instead of watches?

Justice Wing: Vilify 5, Part One
One of the interesting things about writing something like Justice Wing is the kind of story you get to write. It's hard to convince a publisher to let you write a comic book about this guy who interviews a supervillain for a week, with very little in the way of action scenes, for example. Not… Continue reading Justice Wing: Vilify 5, Part One

Justice Wing: Prologue
As promised, this is the first official Justice Wing post, appropriately named "Prologue." It sets up a few things, gives you some better idea of who the players are and how long they've been at this, and... well, gives us something to go from. Which is, in the end, what a prologue is supposed to… Continue reading Justice Wing: Prologue

Why are there Suburbs?
And good morning... to you. Today's myth comes to us from "zeruslord" (who, I am given to understand, is Lord of Zerus, and there is no doubt one does not want to be on the bad side of the Lord of Zerus, so you'll understand if I answer the request, I trust. Mythologists have to… Continue reading Why are there Suburbs?

Weekends: The October Myth Call!
We're continuing the monthly tradition by soliciting the myths you want to see written. It's a lot like how on Mythbusters they solicit fan requests on the site, only on Mythbusters they solicit urban legends that the fans want to watch the team debunk while blowing things up and possibly being injured in the process,… Continue reading Weekends: The October Myth Call!

Adventures in Writing! The New Fall Schedule
Right, we're going to call this week, excepting the end of "Interviewing Leather," a vacation week. Which makes a little sense. I've done a lot of writing since June, and between that and the start of school, it's probably at least a little lucky my brain hasn't exploded from the heat. Next week, we'll launch… Continue reading Adventures in Writing! The New Fall Schedule

Interviewing Leather, Part Fourteen
And this is it. The conclusion of "Interviewing Leather." And I have to admit, I feel pretty good about it. Todd Chapman, in the story, is writing an article called 'Interviewing Leather.' The subject of that article is the so-named supervillain Leather, who he has been hired to interview. But the novella/serial "Interviewing Leather," by… Continue reading Interviewing Leather, Part Fourteen
