More Stories
Who wants another story bit by bit? Don't bother answering; I'm going to do it anyway. Superego seemed to be a success, so I think I'll give it another try. Currently, I have to wait until September or October to hear if my short story "No Good Deed" will appear in Jim Baen's Universe, and I want to hone my skill a bit more before I attempt a full novel, so I'm going to start another story here on IMAO you'll get in small increments daily. No, it won't affect my regular humor blogging, and the first person who complains about its existence rather than just scrolling past it gets beaten to death with his own monitor (actually, I can’t remember if anyone complained about Superego... but I know you complainers are out there just waiting for something to complain about). BTW, have you subscribed to Jim Baen's Universe's yet? ![]() Help Save Science Fiction at Jim Baen's Universe! After a bit of coaxing, I got them to make Eric Flint's editorial on the current state of the Science Fiction market available for free since I think it states quite well why a good short story market is needed for SF and how it helps new authors (like me) have a chance to get their foot in the door. Read it here. I feel like I got my $30 worth with the first issue (even the basic subscription includes a free e-copy of The World Turned Upside Down). I'm actually going to be getting a new cell phone soon with a big screen so I can carry it all with me. Considering your own reading appetite and SF fandom, there are other packages to choose from. Anyway, at least humor me and check out the preview edition. There's even a story with space monkeys. And, soon, I'll start a new story bit by bit on this blog. Maybe I can make that an annual event thing... like 24 (and then SarahK can snark it). 10 Responses To "More Stories"
I will withhold any critical comment as long as we are permitted to punch liberals in the dumb space monkey faces. #1 - Posted by: captamerica on June 14, 2006 04:21 PMCool. You'll be like our generation of Douglas Adams with much less Britishness and much, much more shooting bad guys and splodey devices. #2 - Posted by: PaleoMedic on June 14, 2006 05:05 PMFiction always seems like somebody made it up. #4 - Posted by: spacemonkey on June 14, 2006 05:40 PMFrankJ: I started reading your Sci-Fi story "Superego" and I have to tell you, I was amazed. It has to be the most self-indulgent, adolescent piece of sci-fi hack-work I have ever read in my entire life. In fact, it is so bad that it makes Stephen Colbert's satire of self-indulgent adolescent sci-fi hack-work look like good by comparison. I had no idea how sad and pathetic you are until reading this. How frustrating it must be for someone with such little ability to have such powerful desires for fame, fortune, and respect. If you weren't an ignorant wingnut who revels in juvenile violent fantasies, it might be tragic. However, given that you are an ignorant wingnut who revels in juvenile violent fantasies, it is actually quite amusing. Good luck in getting published. You will need it. Peace, Monkey Faced Liberal #5 - Posted by: Monkey Faced Liberal on June 14, 2006 05:50 PMFrank, Leave it to MFL to poo-poo your efforts, and then fling that poo-poo around the virtual room with all the gusto that only simians seem to possess. Remember, if Mark Twain had listened to his critics, he would have been just one more cranky guy cussing hidden snags in the Mississippi. Better to write what you love, knowing that if nothing else, it'll piss off all the know-it-alls out there who make it their crusade to crush the dreams of others. Poo flingers are a dime a dozen. Remember, lots of shooting, lots of hot babes in high heel boots. #6 - Posted by: PaleoMedic on June 14, 2006 06:53 PMWhat’s the deal with MFL these days. Is Frank doing his own trolls now, or has MFL acquired a sense of humor lately. The new MFL is almost unrecognizable from the old one. Maybe the real MFL has been abducted and an imposter has taken his place. Some things up! #8 - Posted by: Neo-andertal on June 14, 2006 09:09 PMMFL, I have to admit I am ashamed to be a fellow liberal after your heinous attack on FrankJ. While he may be a misguided wingnut (weren't we all at some time in our youth) it is shameless to discourage one from putting down pen to paper and releasing one's inner thoughts. Even a vainglorious attempt at creative writing is better than not trying at all. (Well maybe not in Hillary’s case.) Shame on you MFL! (Frank, can you illustrate this book and make sure the space babes have nice, er, double moons? Do aliens wear fishnet stockings? Just a thought Frank.) And that's the way it is. Post a comment
