I have a sneaking suspicion that this is pretty much what would happen, should something like this ever happen. Assuming that the aliens would even land here. When contemplating the firepower of my countrymen, the word ‘bristling’ should be used often…

You want me to self-publish books, right? Welp, Patreon’s how it’s going to happen more quickly! Plus, you get stuff, too. Fiction! Gaming material! Weekly! Monthly! Truly, this is an age of bargains.

A little backstory to ‘Virtue is its Own Immunity from Planetary Bombardment:’ so, those humans with the fleet? They’re pissed off. There are no words to quite describe how pissed off they are, although you can get a hint from the fact that the aforementioned fleet mines entire Oort Clouds for resources.

Yeah, I have an entire story in my head for this one. Although I don’t quite know how to write it properly. Ach, well, maybe later.

This version of IN HOC SIGNO VINCES is behind the paywall, alas. At least until I get enough feedback on it. After that, it’s going to be a free showcase story; both for the Patreon, and for the anthology of short stories set in that universe that I’m working on. Check it all out!

My Patreon is what’s paying for stuff. Stuff like the cover art and the ISBN and the proofreading and the rest of it. Which is already a great advantage; but I’m gonna need all the advantages I can get. So sign up today!

I’m not going to lie. I’ve looked at ‘Inventing While Hungry’ three times, and I can’t decide which feels less wrong: “power source is frozen turkeys,” or “power source are frozen turkeys.” Either way, a little part of me wince… OK, OK, ‘winces.’

‘Winners Write History’ is the hundred-word summary of the short story that I’d like to write in the Dark Tide Rising series, if only I could manage to sell it to John Ringo at this exact point in history. Then again: if I can say it in one hundred words, does it need to be a short story? I can never decide.

‘Verdict of History’ is there because of one of my pet peeves: people who assume that they know what their descendants will think of them*. Judging from the entire panoply of human existence, I’m going to guess that said descendants will think of this entire time period as being full of, no exceptions, dangerous barbarians with horrible dentistry. They’ll also likely ignore the popular art of our time in favor of honoring the more obscure art and its creators, which is honestly great and hopeful news for me.

*Actually, in many cases it’ll be what my descendants will think of them.

Or something. This idea is probably gonna be the new RPG setting AND this month’s Patreon story, though. Efficiency! Cthulhu Mythos!

Also: Patreon!

Really, though: don’t we do this every day, with the choices that we make? All that the protagonist is doing in “Killing Them With Kindness” is making informed choices. Choices are good, aren’t they?
