Administrative: An important administrative detail that needs to be explicit.

I just posted an important, if entirely administrative – and honestly, absolutely obvious set of details about my writing here and elsewhere up on the Patreon, free for the reading. I'll embed a PDF here, but if there should be a revision on the Patreon version, the Patreon version is to be considered correct unless… Continue reading Administrative: An important administrative detail that needs to be explicit.

Lovelace½ #8

This entry is part 8 of 15 in the series Lovelace½

It's Wednesday, and we're back to Lovelace 1/2. And I should address something for the record. I've had several people ask me what the title actually says. And I've seen one group that -- no joke -- thought this was a Ranma 1/2 parody where someone got thrown into the pool of drowned first computer programmer, which to… Continue reading Lovelace½ #8

Incomplete, Short Story

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

The Old Ways, Chapter Five

This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series The Old Ways

And here, we have ourselves at Chapter Five -- the last written chapter. There is about half of Chapter Six written, and then no more of The Old Ways, at least so far. Will there be more? I guess that depends on what people think. Let me know what you think of this particular chapter,… Continue reading The Old Ways, Chapter Five

The Old Ways, Chapter Four

This entry is part 2 of 6 in the series The Old Ways

And so we hit Chapter Four of The Old Ways. It seems to be gathering some fans, which is nice. Among those fans is my father, who's also a big fan of Theftworld. I think some depth comes into play in this one. For the record, as of yesterday we'd broken 200,000 words on this… Continue reading The Old Ways, Chapter Four

The Old Ways, Chapter Three

This entry is part 4 of 6 in the series The Old Ways

Here we have Chapter Three. Some of the feedback's been quite amazing, and I'm really glad to get it. I get the feeling a number of people like The Old Ways, at least in theory, but the execution is a bit off. On the other hand, I think this chapter begins to move more towards… Continue reading The Old Ways, Chapter Three

The Old Ways, Chapter Two

This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series The Old Ways

And here we are with Chapter Two of The Old Ways. Chapter One had a mixed response. I'm a little curious to see if some of the concerns are addressed with Chapter Two, or if this is, in the end, more of the same. It's a significantly different style than most of my other writing,… Continue reading The Old Ways, Chapter Two

The Old Ways, Chapter One

This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series The Old Ways

I don't know whether or not this will become a regular updated serial like "Interviewing Leather" or Theftworld or not. Once upon a time I'd thought to make a novel of this, but I'm not sure today whether I will or not. It's a very different kind of work for me, really. I guess it… Continue reading The Old Ways, Chapter One

Incomplete, Short Story

Dreamers (a fragment)

This is a story fragment -- one I wrote in the mid 1990's. I assume. It's in my style. It's in my files. It's definitely one of mine from the Kinko's years. And I have absolutely no memory of it. It's not impossible it was something I discussed with my friend Mason Kramer, or perhaps… Continue reading Dreamers (a fragment)

Automotive Care

It's Storytelling day, and I have a short story for you all. This one is about a year old. I finished it and sent it off on the rounds to the usual suspects. No one nibbled, and I'm not sure I can blame them. But still, it's grist for the mill, right? This is fantasy… Continue reading Automotive Care
