Happy IPSTPW Day!!!
Apr. 23rd, 2011 11:53 amThat's International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Wretch Day, for those of you confused. It's a day to celebrate the Internet, creative control of your works, and mocking one Luddite sci-fi writer who believed that the Internet would destroy writing for everyone; and the typical observance is to share your fiction with other people on line.
Okay, so I do that anyway, but I'm still going to celebrate. Here are some stories by me that you may or may not have read:
Jazz Duet, a poem.
(Untitled), my favorite piece of flash fiction. If I tell you about it before you read it it spoils the whole damn thing. Go.
Postcards From Hell, a short-short, one of my two actual published-on-paper pieces of fiction.
Gravity, my other bit of published fiction, and my oldest completed short story (until I find that gory splatterpunk thing I wrote in the fifth grade).
And my it's-in-the-public-domain-so-does-that-mean-it's-not-fan-fiction, while I'm at it, because I might as well.
The Knight of the Star, a retelling of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
The True Death of Frank Gardiner. A Cthulhu Mythos story about a Filipino pearl diver and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
There's No Rainbow Bridge Across The Generation Gap. Norse Mythology. Loki prepares for Ragnarok. His kids are less helpful than expected.
Non Omnis Moriar. Mina Harker, some time after Dracula. Requires familiarity with the novel, which is probably why this one gets less attention than the others. When I wrote it, I believed it to be the best thing I had ever written.
