About Myself
I've been involved in this particular genre since 1996. And I didn't start small. My first magnum opus was the Winds of Change setting, which turned out to be surprisingly popular to write in. In eleven years I've grown a lot as a writer, and I don't plan on stopping. The stories that go up here will be those that will not be submitted for publication.
New stories will generally be posted to TSA-Talk first, then here. Though I am posting an in-progress series here first to give Shifti a boost.
- The next in the series after Escape and Window of Opportunity. Title decided. First section posted. --Buck 22:42, 25 August 2007 (EDT)
In this section will go stories completed from 2000, when I think my work actually became much more professional in quality.
- Written in 2000. This is the first story (novella) I wrote that really felt professional to me. ended up submitting it to a couple of online magazines, but nothing ever came of it. So up it goes here.
- Written in 2001. A graduate student finds that there is still old magic lurking about in interesting places.
- A standalone novella, about 250 kilobytes of text. Written 2004.
- Doe's Hoof
(Adult content)
- A quickie. What happens when you're down on your luck and you really have nowhere to go?
- A story in Bryan's Wisp-touched setting. I rather like the main character. Written 2004.
Unnamed Series
I am entertaining ideas of what to call this setting. It's turning into more of a chapter-by-chapter novella/novel at this rate. I'm trying to keep each part short and focused on a single goal.
- My ideas start with quickies, but always snowball into something bigger. This storylet was inspired by a dream I had. All the main imagery is there.
- Second in the series, Jason has to adapt to a very changed life, and realizes that without acting, things will go from bad to worse.
- Next story in the series.
In this section will go stories that I wrote prior to 2000. This has a number of caveats. Mainly that as I've matured as a writer, my writing style has also grown and improved. Improved a lot. In most cases I haven't read any of these in at least five years and more. All errors in grammar, spelling, and general story structure are therefore unchanged. Caveat emptor.
