bITS 'N CHUNKS
Well shipmates, rather unexpectedly I have a brand new piece of unblemished fiction for you this year! It's been quite a long time since I've entered the 36th Chamber of fiction publication, as I've bemoaned a few times in the past whilst I try to get my act together. Things are coming along pretty well but there are some things that just never change. Submitted here for your approval is an anthology submission from last year that ultimately got the axe for length; I don't have any further plans for it as it stands so I'm passing on the savings to you. It's fanfiction so it's a little bit of a cheat in that regard Yes, I have an AO3 account but I'm kind of hiding from that right now. And as a fanfic it automatically warrants a NSFW warning.

Once again with the bullshit!
This is another one that I really liked the concept of and I actually like the story overall, I just had no real interest in developing it further or working on it. It was a nice exercise. I was like, "a noir-ish underworld fantasy? Yeah." after most of this flash fiction challenge was full of stories of death and self loathing el oh el. This story is so...pure it just looks weird in comparison. Back to the bullshit everyone,
So...this became my sort of Dark Tower homage I think. I enjoyed the concept of the story and the main character but I lost a lot of steam with it, so you'll see later I tried to write another one and lost steam AGAIN before I just took a break and said nah. I think I know what I want to do with him I just need to give his story time to percolate. Meanwhile, this is technically the end and the other one is the...middle? Man, writing is fuckin' weird. Hey everyone,
I figured I would start off with something I actually enjoyed and ended up being helpful. If you follow me on social media, you may have heard back in August I had a death in my immediate family. In the midst of all that, I was also going through some pretty heavy shit before and after. I'm the exact opposite of religious but there are times when I take comfort in religious ceremony and, strangely enough, orthodox practices. What I'm trying to say is, I was watching The Last Temptation of Christ and made a connection with Lazarus of Bethany. This actually ended up on my AO3 account which I will never share so if you see it there and here just remember real Gs move in silence! Omerta and all that! Okay fam,
So last week I heavily implied that I would be running these Halloween skreets with a boatload of content and then...not so much. Technically I have been over here at Global Comment (y'all like Halloween countdowns?) but I wanted to get a little more ambitious with my blogging space! Unfortunately, the malady known as D E P R E S S I O N took me down through there and I had to focus my energy on my professional work otherwise I wouldn't be getting shit done. Well, I'm not really better per se but I feel good enough to share the things that I literally wrote months ago in case of just such an emergency, so FINALLY here we go with the writings again. As I said previously, I started a self-imposed flash fiction challenge that went from "flash fiction" to "what can i finish with minimal editing in a day" to "regular short story writing". I wasn't feeling any prompts so I decided to do a play list. I'm really no good at making play lists but I like writing to music, as you may have heard. While I'm getting my other posts together, I'll be sharing a few stories. Most of these will be me clowning on myself, but good or bad the purpose of this challenge for me was just keeping the pen moving/keyboard clacking. And I don't really mind making a spectacle of myself; I mean, come on. That being said, here is my curated play list: |
Ia! If you've come this far, you're either looking for weird or you know you've found it... TRESPASSING
