I've been expecting you :D


Microfiction


the missile knows where it is (+175)

He has been alive for 22.56 seconds and this he knows.

This was my debut on the site and the obligatory one-hit-wonder that got me hooked on the path of ash and shame (tale author). I wrote it blackout drunk in 45 minutes while on the toilet, got great crit from A Random DayA Random Day and psychicprogrammerpsychicprogrammer and woke up to 40 upvotes, seventeen missed phone calls, and one new hobby. My soul has known no peace since.


The Last Wizard (+22)

The last wizard was stabbed to death yesterday morning in the alleyway behind the Denny’s on 4th and 5th.

Funny absurdist urban piece that was very much built entirely around the opening sentence. I wrote this one on a plane i think.


it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country (+23)

The last veteran of the Coldest War passed into history with the lowering of a sturdy oak coffin one winter morning, and few mourned at the loss.

In memory of my grandfather. May he rest in peace.


the gray tide (+26)

The name of the ship was Necessity.

AE for LightlessLanternLightlessLantern, written for the prompt of 'prison ship.' End of Death remains one of my favorite canons, and the tale There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Wishing Well remains one of the best works I've read on the wiki so far. I took a great deal of inspiration from TuftoTufto's piece, hopefully I did it, and the canon, justice.


To be King in the House of Dust (+10)

GILGAMESH SWEEP GILGAMESH SWEEP GILGAMESH SWEEP


Macrofiction


RED QUEEN'S RACE

STRIKEFALL (+43)

Strike Team Ivory Dagger tears into existence amidst a gentle misting of frozen elephant blood half a kilometer above the acropolis. There is a statistically significant amount of turbulence.

Borne out of the tripartite desires to make the Chaos Insurgency actually cool, to dissect the realistic shortcomings of teleporting power-armored shock trooper tactics (and also to write something longer than five paragraphs at a time), forged from smoke and flame and fourteen Speed Demon rereads, i brought unto the Wiki that greatest of banes.

Long form fiction.

Fortunately, everyone who actually read the damned thing seemed to like it.


FALLOUT (+46)

“Mister President, fifteen minutes ago, the Foundation detonated a nuclear device on American soil.”

The second step in RED QUEEN'S RACE. An attempt to portray a realistic grand strategy style checkmate set in a very unrealistic universe. Military logistics, CONPLANs, and action prose that A Random DayA Random Day once called "adequate" abounds. OFFICIAL RECIPIENT OF THE MYTHICAL PedantiquePedantique UPVOTE.


GREENLIGHT (+32), co-authored with AnorrackAnorrack

Between them, two hundred and fifteen years of service, between them seven rifles, seven parachutes, seven shots of rum, between them one atomic bomb.

A companion story/vignette set during the events of FALLOUT. Massive thanks to my coauthor Annorack, who I once saw bench press a 2003 Toyota Camry before biking fifty four miles in sub-zero conditions (normal morning commute). One of many building blocks on my path to eventually write something even more coked out than hypervelocity.
