Administrative posts, usually of the “I am breaking things on purpose for a while, so please do not kill me with a brick” type.
So hey, gang! This is a weird post to write, but it's fundraiser time! As the story says, over the weekend a pipe burst in the ceiling and flooded the apartment. The ceiling fell... er... on me (an interesting experience -- and for the record, no concussion, but I do have bruised ribs and shoulder),… Continue reading When the Ceiling Came Down, or “So how was *your* Easter?”
It's June, and on June the First I offered to let Patrons who pledged at the Intrepid Reporter level (otherwise known as $10 or more) ask me any questions they liked, with an eye to printing the answers today. Well! It's today, and the answers are up! Free for all to read (you had to… Continue reading June Questions and Answers on the Patreon for free!
A roundup of May's entries on Banter Latte, a roadmap for June's entries, some Patreon news, and such and sundry!
Here's what's coming up on Banter Latte this week!
The story as it exists clearly has its fans (and its detractors, but that's as may be). However... it's *very* rough. Ragged. There are plenty of typos and bad choices. It needs editing at the very least before it could be published as either an eBook or as part of an anthology.
The news on site upgrades and new content!
Just to keep folks up to date, here's what's in the fire, for both here and on the Patreon...
A quick word on where I am and where I've been and what happens now.
Hey all! It's poll time! This is not "what Eric is working on next." Eric's writing a myth and editing a poem, then getting a datasheet out next. However, we've had a block of Banter Latte content come out over the course of Folio #1, and as we move into Folio #2 and beyond I… Continue reading Let’s Gather Some Audience Information™!
Previously in The Home Front and "Homecoming #1-4:" Decades before the Age of Heroic Intent, the first costumed heroes and super heroes began to appear. The first of these Mystery Men -- and also also the last -- was Knight City's Adrian Wainwright, AKA the Golden Swashbuckler, who began his career in 1923 and retired in… Continue reading The Home Front: Homecoming: For Those Who Came In Late
It's been a busy week over on the Patreon. I tried my best not to spam everyone with updates -- that way lies madness and people disliking you -- but it makes sense to catch people up as well as keep folks abreast of what's coming up next here on Banter Latte. Folio #1 is… Continue reading Patreon: The Last Week of Folio #1
Part of Folio #1 is the second Beta of the actual "Interviewing Leather" novella, which raises an interesting point about the writing process. When I first wrote "Interviewing Leather..." it was 2007. My intentions for Justice Wing were very different than they have become over time. In fact, "Cannon," posted in first beta over the… Continue reading Second Betas, or “We Have Always Been at War with Eastasia”
