A mysterious ape-man, a beautiful woman, an inventor, and a pirate queen discover mysterious secrets while stranded.

This one is quite long, I realize. This was the first five days of NaNoWriMo 2008 — the only days I wrote because after that I had my run-in with Alienware tech support.

Another March 2000 rant originally published in The Dream Forge. I don’t know that it’s really insightful. Or not-hypocritical. Mostly it’s a list of things that make me angry about people who think they’re writers. But here it is.

Being the tale of a profiteering jerk and his closest pals.

This story was written when I was 17 years old for a creative writing class. The teacher loved it. However, I don’t think she was very familiar with fantasy as a genre. The original story was 17 pages long. At one point I began re-writing it, and as far as I got is what you see here.

I love the existential horror this one implies. This is actually a story I read on a blog out there somewhere once. I’ve no idea where now. I searched google for it but I couldn’t find it. If you know the original author, let me know. It actually has resonance with a familiar joke.
