IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE

I mean, what's two years in the life of an indifferent blogger? Just a blink of the eye.


So, kudos to me, it's not NaNoWriMo and I'm updating my blog!!!!! Anyway I thought I'd update the ol' Spete Blog with my newest publication announcement!

Two (2) short stories! Both are older (3+ years old) works that I decided on a whim to publish (read as: I was working on my novel and had fallen into a pit of despair because it's so long and I'm never going to finish the thing and I dismally remembered that I haven't published anything since Andrian Adventures like 10 years ago and what is even the point of keeping all my old stories to myself on my laptop if I'm just going to stare sadly at them day and isn't it much better to publish them and then stare sadly at the 0 Sales report instead). 


They're fractured fairy tales of the silliest sort.

Also, both take place in the kingdom of Atlis. I have done so much world building for Atlis since I wrote the two stories, and neither talks about all the cool things Atlis has (spoiler alert it has weredogs. why Sarah, why). I'm probably never going to get around to publishing any of my actually interesting, non-fairy tale Atlis novels, aaaand I have no idea where I was going with this. Oh yeah, Atlis. "Scrapper" takes place about 30 years before Atlis unified (FUN FACT: the couple in Scrapper are actually the parents of the guy who becomes the first king of Atlis ~now you know~), while TBaHB occurs like 200 years later.

Here are links:
"The Beast and Her Beauty" (a retelling of Cinderella AND Beauty & the Beast because I'm cool like that) 
"Scrapper" (a retelling of Allerleiruah, which is my favorite fairy tale and if given the chance, I would publish the five retellings I've done of it, but no one wants to read that because the original fairy tale is creepy af)

tldr; please enjoy this treat, because at the pace I'm writing As the King, I'm not going to publish anything for another 2 years.

you're welcome.


And nope, definitely not going to apologize for the 100% Flash related gifs in this post.
(you're welcooooome)

Superman

This episode has been brought to you by a bottle of Riesling So, movie #8 was Sydney White No need to worry, I brought it Genres: Some Geekery, Amanda Bynes, Fairytale Highlights: Amanda Bynes not crazy all the sneaky geekery references awkwardly based off Snow White Lowlights: They could've made her SUCH a geek her hair. the whole movie. There is something off about it. I mean, this movie is ok. Also, why is Amanda Bynes a genre? Mysterious. I sort of zoned out while watching this and read webcomics instead. Still, it's cute. anyway, onto tonight's main attraction (attractive man whaaaaat) SUPERMAN   Genres: Superhero, Action, Fangirl ...does the Fangirl genre count if I'm the only fangirl? yes. So, this is the story of Kal-El, who was sent to earth as a wee babe because his native home of Krypton was about to BLOW THE HECK UP. He is adopted by a possible Minnesotan (Jonathan Kent, I'm l...

Villains

This morning I was thinking about antagonists in my stories, and realized that I'm actually horrible at creating really solid evil characters. I have plenty who are snotty, or rude, or sort of grumpy, but not any villainous  villains. I think I'll work on creating someone spectacularly wicked for the second part of Andrian Adventures. I'd like to stay away  from the usual fantasy/fairy-tale stereotypes, and since I've already made a wicked wizard for the first part of AA, I guess that's out. Maybe it'll be a recurring antagonist-- should they go from being good to bad? Time to get to work :) In other news, here's a picture of some alien beer. We actually didn't find this in Roswell, but in Las Cruces... in hindsight, I wish I'd tried some. I was flipping through pictures on my phone and was filled with regret :)
