I'm currently at Biggest Little Fur Con, a furry-fandom convention in Reno, NV. One of the things this particular con is known for is its incredible attention to theme and atmosphere. In 2015, a propaganda-filled dystopian theme slowly fell apart through the weekend to reveal the theme for the following year -- the Resistance. This … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Urban Gardening

(Friday Fiction) A Birthday of Legend
A dear friend of mine celebrated his birthday a week or two ago, and I offered him a quick short story as an impromptu present. As usual, it took me a little longer than I would have liked to finish it up, but here it is! Crux is preparing for a nice, quiet birthday celebration; … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) A Birthday of Legend
(Monday Fiction) A Letter to Puxineathas Goodfellow (2)
I'm not going to lie -- the only thing more fun than writing that letter from Pux was researching more about gnomes as they're settled in Pathfinder. The more I learn about gnomes, the more I feel like I should play them more. This will probably upset My Husband, The Dragon to hear. But the … Continue reading (Monday Fiction) A Letter to Puxineathas Goodfellow (2)
(Friday Fiction) A Letter to Malcolm Williams
I didn't manage to put together a letter in time last week, so we'll have to miss one missive unfortunately. The previous letter was...something I wasn't quite happy with. I wanted to write it in the voice of someone who just wasn't used to long, written correspondence but I wanted to make it engaging at the … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) A Letter to Malcolm Williams
(Friday Fiction) Changeling: The Talk
Our protagonist gets a name! I'm still feeling out how being a Changeling would feel in inner-city Baltimore. I think there's something distinctive about the idea and I'd love to try and capture it. Here, Mr. Foster takes our narrator to McDonald's for an explanation of what's going on. Or not. I don't know if … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Changeling: The Talk
(Friday Fiction) Changeling: Emergent
It was my first day back in school after the mugging, and people were treating me surprisingly well. I guess word had spread about what happened, which was cool, but what was most interesting was how the story changed based on who told it. The teachers talked about how I nearly got away by telling … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Changeling: Emergent
(Friday Fiction) X-Men: A Tale of Two Kitties
(Continuing my little snippets of fiction imagining Beast settling in at the Jean Grey School, because the news from Marvel coming out of Comic-Con sounded really really bad for our merry band of mutants. While the X-Men line has...maybe seven titles out right now, many of them will be taking a hiatus once Civil War … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) X-Men: A Tale of Two Kitties
(Friday Fiction) The Job Interview of Dr. Henry McCoy
I've had superheroes on the brain for a while now, and there are a number of reasons for this. However, Beast of the X-Men is someone I just can't get out of my head -- also for a number of reasons. Ever since All-New Marvel Now!, when Brian Michael Bendis took over as the guiding … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) The Job Interview of Dr. Henry McCoy
(Friday Fiction) The Comfortable Clink of Silence
Working on THE CULT OF MAXIMUS has exposed a few problem areas for me as a writer -- I really need to get better at writing scenes where characters are in direct conflict, and I could stand to shore up my dialogue so that characters expose their personalities a bit better through how they speak. … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) The Comfortable Clink of Silence
(Friday Fiction) The Surprise at the End of the Hike
The sun slunk low behind the canopy as we made our way deeper into the woods. It wasn't low enough yet that the pockets of light were weaker or smaller, but it was low enough that sunbeams hit at crazy angles. You could still feel the difference in the air between the sun and the … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) The Surprise at the End of the Hike
