Today's post is a little bit late; sorry about that. It feels like I've been playing catch-up since the year started! I'll be working double-time for a little while to try and get ahead of things. Anyway, in this installment of Br'er fiction, Gregg meets his boss for the first time in six months to … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Br’ers: One on One

(Writing) Howdy, Br’er!
This month for Fiction Friday, I'll be giving the Br'er scenario another try. I'm not sure what people thought of the couple fragments I posted last month, but I wasn't really happy with them -- I think they came across far too "woe is me, poor special snowflake" and less "these are some things that … Continue reading (Writing) Howdy, Br’er!
(Friday Fiction) Br’ers – Break
And here's the next little bit. Still figuring out the setting while trying to make connections between Greggory's experience and experiences I've had being a "black face in a white space". This one stems from SO MANY TIMES being the only black guy with the feeling of "you don't belong here" heavy in the air. … Continue reading (Friday Fiction) Br’ers – Break
(Wednesday Fiction) Br’ers – Orientation
I wanted to find a way to marry two of my interests, and came up with this setting. I'm still figuring things out, so the snippets will be a little rough for the next two weeks, but I thought it was time to share it. Greggory looked in the mirror and saw an alien staring … Continue reading (Wednesday Fiction) Br’ers – Orientation
Fiction Friday: The End of the Night (Moontime World)
I've been itching to write about werewolves recently, because I feel such a strong attraction to them but never seem them quite displayed the way I'd like to see them. I also have a thing about vampires -- most of the time, I'm going to hate your vampire character because all of the "baggage" that … Continue reading Fiction Friday: The End of the Night (Moontime World)
Thursday Fiction: Midnight Thoughts of Troubled Minds
I was a little late with getting to the end of Veniamin's story, so I thought I would offer two vignettes this week instead! This one is a bit longer than I expected it would be; once I got into it I really wanted to give it the time it needed. That's why it's up … Continue reading Thursday Fiction: Midnight Thoughts of Troubled Minds
Fiction Friday: Veniamin Is Thankful
This is the last of four vignettes featuring Veniamin Kovalenko, the werebear detective I play in a Dresden Files game. Here, Venia tries to address the damage done to an important relationship of his. Through the course of the game, it's become clear that he has a pretty big problem with authority; he also began … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Veniamin Is Thankful
Friday Fiction: Veniamin Opens Up
This is the third of four stories featuring Veniamin Kovalenko, the werebear detective I play in a Dresden Files RPG. After being shot during an investigation gone horrifically wrong, Veniamin goes to the only person he can think of to help. In this case, the assistance might burn a relationship he never had a chance … Continue reading Friday Fiction: Veniamin Opens Up
Fiction Friday: Veniamin Makes His Mark
Part two in a set of stories about Veniamin Kovalenko, the detective/fixer I'm playing in a Dresden Files RPG. Ryan very astutely noticed that I am hesitant to throw my characters into conflict, so I thought I'd work on a situation that pushed Veniamin a little further then "Oh no, will he like this delicious … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Veniamin Makes His Mark
Friday Fiction: The Announcement (FBA)
This is a quick story set in the FBA Universe, created by Buck Hopper. Daniel Quvianuq is a polar bear Center for the Seattle Summit; he spends a good bit of the off-season with his parents in their hometown of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Summit was bounced out of the first round of the playoffs this … Continue reading Friday Fiction: The Announcement (FBA)
