Meta: New stories / world: Agent

All right, blasting back from nothingness with two more stories and a song! This time, they’re part of the Agent world category:

* Agent
* Lost Tribe
* A New Story

The second two stories are both old at this point, but they somehow never got posted. So there they are, a proper trilogy at last.

Also, there is now a multiple medium art project going on that touches on this story. Specifically it’s a song from the point of view of Jadze the android, a character in A New Story. It’s called The Synth Proclamation.

Meta: New Story: Ghost

A story for January!

Ghost

I was really hoping by now to have the next LWH story ready, but I’m pulling this from the archives at the request of some friends, to tide us over. 🙂

I’m trying something new here – I got rid of the Markdown editor I was using because it was honestly just complicating the situation of getting text from my workflow into WordPress. I think it’s better to just feed it raw HTML.

Meta: New Story: In the Limelight, in the Spotlight

A story for December 🙂

In the Limelight, in the Spotlight

This is another pull from the back archives; once again, it was written many years ago, but has never been published. This one is a dream that I attempted to turn into a coherent story fragment.

The LWH story is still only in the planning phases. Things have been hard for the past few weeks, unexpectedly. I still plan to get back to it, and worst case scenario, I have some vacation coming up for Christmas! So I’ll get to it. I think it’s going to be worth waiting for.

Meta: New story / world: Agent

Hey readers, there is a new story that’s been posted, along with a new world category: Agent. The longer description of this is in the header of the story post, but basically it’s something from a long time ago (2006-ish) that I wrote as sort of fan-fiction of a video game I was working on. The game never got published, and this is what’s left of it.

There may be some site changes in the next few days, because I think I’m going to remove the Markdown editor from the site itself, and replace it with a local “build” workflow. This isn’t a big deal because I am already having to do a build to get some new Markdown elements I wanted. I’d like to get this situated before a whole lot more is posted.

Meta: Updates

It’s been quite some time since I wrote anything here, perhaps inexcusably long. (Three years!) A few things have happened since then, though:

  • A new short story compilation has been completed: Tales of Alchemy. It still needs editing and some cover art, but beyond that, it’s basically ready to go.
  • A new short-ish novel: Fractured Harmony. This is a sci-fi story about a future society with a collective consciousness, and modern-day Seattle. This is pretty much in the same state as Tales of Alchemy. About 80% of it is a NaNoWriMo novel.
  • A new co-written comic is beginning soon if I can manage to keep up with the drawing. I’ll post more about that as it comes up.

If anyone is interested in reading/editing Tales of Alchemy or Fractured Harmony, feel free to toot … @mahaleia@wandering.shop

Meta: NaNoWarmUp wrap-up

I’m sad to say that I only got about half way through, due to Circumstances. 🙂 A combination of sudden busy and sudden de-inspiration on the story I was working on. I still want to finish it though; I may turn it into another piece for the I’ll-finish-it-some-day compilation of short stories. It was on its way to becoming something more like a novella, but I already have at least one of those lined up for the short story book.

I hope everyone out there is having a happy holiday season. ^^

Meta: NaNoWarmUp

This is a cool idea by YA authors Kat Zhang and Savannah J. Foley. I’m going to try to participate 🙂

I think I may also look at some options for allowing comments on here. I haven’t really wanted to deal with spam in the past, but it feels kind of curmudgeonly. ^^;
