I guess the moral for ‘Be Forgot’ is that it ain’t easy out there for an anthropomorphic representation. Although this particular one has been cursed with the metaphysical equivalent of perfect hearing. Couple that with a state of non-metaphysical profound drunkenness, and, well…

Patreon Microfiction: “All is Calm.”
“All is Calm” represents a certain moral flexibility on both sides after a very, very long War. Five thousand years ago, they’d have been shoving flaming swords into each other — but five thousand years is a long time, even for immortals. You have to get on with the job.
Patreon Microfiction: ‘Out of Charge.’
Is ‘Out of Charge’ really fantasy? I mean, obviously you can quantify things. That kind of makes it science fiction, with weird physics.
Patreon extra: Date Night (Short-Short fiction)
This was the short-short that I wrote for that contest. It didn’t win, but I still think it’s not half bad. I think I could easily enough expand it, given sufficient interest.
“Date Night” is, alas, behind a paywall. Consider it an incentive for signing up.
Patreon Microfiction: Practical Physics.
Although… don’t we have something like what’s going on in ‘Practical Physics’? That entire situation where quantum mechanics and general relativity are inconsistent with each other in some places, but you can use either theory to do things. Or something like that. I just write books.
The January 2023 Patreon stuff is up!
And I’m tired!
- Fiction: ROCCA JACK AND THE LIQUID GOLD JOB. Privateers! Bears! A vampire! And Cursed Jersey!
- RPG material: Artifacts, Chapter 2: The World, Iteration ∞.0. Note the infinity symbol! How swanky!
There ya go.
Patreon Microfiction: ‘Contents May Vary.’
I’m going to use the idea in ‘Contents May Vary’ at some point. It might not even be for a horror project, either. There’s nothing really awful about the concept, after all. If the soul-substitute is benign, why not have the end result be, too?
Patreon Microfiction: Fire Always Works.
I don’t really remember much about the viewpoint character in ‘Fire Always Works,’ except that he deserved what was about to happen to him. Oh, and that the reason why that air hurt him was because all the evil had been taken out of it. So, yeah, he was bad.
Patreon Microfiction: The Monkey’s Ass.
Ah, ‘The Monkey’s Ass.’ That was a week, let me tell you. We followed up that awesome Saturday with the entire house coming down with Covid – but at least we didn’t have to deal with Thanksgiving holiday traffic! …I have been very disciplined in my thinking since then.
The December Patreon stuff is up!
Huzzah!
- Short story: Chapter 1, NO GODS BUT OURS. I really have to stop writing short stories that are actually the first chapter of novels. This one is kind of what Doc E.E. Smith might have tried to write if he had heard more about this H.P. Lovecraft fellow. What? Yes, dang straight but I’m arrogant.
- RPG material: Artifacts, Chapter 1: Time Travel, and Why It Sucks. If you’re going to do a time travel aftermath game, you need to establish some of the rules of the original time travel.
