We have reached the $150/month point on the Patreon!  That means 3K word short stories from here on out.  Whee!

And today’s September Showcase is “Every Little Bit Helps.” It’s a 250-ish word microfiction, written specially for the occasion.  Because that’s how we’re rolling. So let’s keep rolling…

Ten days to go for my showcase of my Patreon.

And today’s September Showcase is “Song of the Thespian Dead.” I should do poetry more often; I liked writing this one.  And I’m going to show it off again, too. Moo hoo bwah hah!

Arr. Pattrrreon. ARRRRRR….

And today’s September Showcase is “Fascinating.” Up to you whether you agree or not, of course.

Past the halfway point for showcasing the Patreon.

And today’s September Showcase is “Clean Your Own Mess.” Which would also be the microfiction that was due to be put up here on Sunday anyway. I figured I’d just combine the two posts. Efficiency!

There’s still a Patreon!

And today’s September Showcase is “Tourists.” I have an alien invasion story in my head.  This is from it.  Alas, I don’t have the resources to turn the entire thing into an epic television musical miniseries with an international cast of stars, so there’s that.

We got an upped pledge on the Patreon!

Accordingly, today’s September Showcase is a short piece (The Long Lost Friend) I put together tonight for the express purpose of noting just how much I love Manly Wade Wellman’s Silver John stories.  That’s pretty much it.  I liked writing it so much I wanted everybody to read it right now.

But I always won’t do that, so get in on the Patreon today!

Got a new subscriber to the Patreon!

Today’s September Showcase is a Patron-only piece that’s been taken from the if-we-get-that-far pulp serial “The Bold Marauder.” If you ever get a chance to listen to Michael Longcor’s cover of that, go for it*. I’m hoping to go really old-school with this story.

And we’re back to showcasing the Patreon!

Today’s September Showcase is “Seasonal Affectation Disorder.” The first one I ever wrote for the Patreon.  A historical and cultural artifact, in… fact.

Moe’s Patreon! Moe’s Patreon! So good, they called it Moe’s Patreon!

Back to bringing up the Patreon!

Today’s September Showcase is a piece called ‘Fonts and the Art of War.’  I’m not sure where to go with it, honestly.  There’s more there than several hundred words, but what does it want to do?  Nobody seems to know.  It’s very exciting, really.

My Patreon! Tell everyone!

I just realized the hidden subtext of “I Want My M(age) TV.”  Basically, it’s this: the 1980s and 1990s are sufficiently in the past that they’re becoming suitably exotic for fantasy tropes.  This has any number of personal implications, and I’m not sure that I fully approve of any of them.

One week of hyping the Patreon later, and I’ll say this for it: I’ve been putting up a bunch of stuff for the last year or so.  I should start trying to figure out how to sell more of it.  I know: crazy thinking, yeah?

Today’s September Showcase is something that showed up here, first: “Fragment Of A Recently Unearthed Saga From the Proto-Indo-European Period Narrating the Battle Between A Human Clan And What Was Apparently A Herd Of Malevolent, Psionic Woolly Mammoths Bent On Wiping Humanity Out.” I always liked how that one came out.  If you did, too: hey, tell your friends.

Finally, somebody signed up for my Patreon! This was particularly awkward because I kind of messed up the thermostat; I had it pegged at $130 when it should have been $135.  But I didn’t want to update it, because it would have looked like I was goosing the total. Fortunately, the question is moot.

Today’s September Showcase is Patron-only: a 200 word microfiction called “Ghost Story.”  It was written in honor of me getting a new Patron.  Want to see more of those?  Well, subscribe.  Or, if you’ve already subscribed, then encourage subscription in others.
