Me at 50YFN

nobody@vox.com(nixsight) — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 02:21:54 +0000

50YFN is a very cool concept in Flash Fiction, a website where all stories exist in a consistent shared universe, that of our own planet, 50 Years From Now.

I urge you to visit it.

Anyway, my first piece there went live about ten minutes ago. It is called:

"The Man Who Couldn't Look You In The Eye"

(And in case you aren't certain whether you want to be reading it or not, I should mention that it has, you know, kinda sex in it.)

Five Easy Steps To Help You Let Her Go

nobody@vox.com(nixsight) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 02:22:40 +0000

Saturday was my turn to post to Elephant Words. I went with a piece giving advice on saying goodbye to your platonic girlfriend.

One day, your best loved friend, the girl that your mates always rib you about, your perfect platonic chum, is going to want to leave... it has potential to be devastating, but it doesn't have to be. Here are five easy steps to help you let her go.

It is full of advice for tragic men of all ages, and was inspired by this week's picture:

Hope you enjoy it!

I Done Did My First Fan Art

This is the first bit of Elephant Word inspired art I’ve done, and as such is my first ever piece of fan art, I reckon. I’m quite pleased with it. Click on the image to get a better look at it, because it looks a lot better before being resized for this site.

I Have My First Fan Art!

nobody@vox.com(nixsight) — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 00:19:06 +0000

Although I suppose I SHOULD call it Friend-Art!

It is by my friend and associate Andrew Cheverton, it is of a character from my story "Forest Of The Dead", and I love it!

And it is here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2229/1986809343_412e8611d1_m.jpg

Elephant Words - The Stories So Far

nobody@vox.com(nixsight) — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:11:09 +0100

I have been lax in directing Vox people to Elephant Words, and should do this now. Elephant Words is a Burst Culture website that I have created, featuring new writing every day by one of six excellent writers. The premise is intriguing, and can be found at length on the site, so I'm just going to use this space to direct you to my work there so far...

It is:

20/08/07 - Grateful

14/08/07 - All The Gods, All The Monsters

08/08/07 - Matt Groening, My Betrayer…

02/08/07 - Secrets Uncovered, Mysteries Made

27/07/07 - Jericho Wept

21/07/07 - An Ancient Terror To Tea

15/07/07 - 08/07/2007 Image - Noble Elephant

Please go visit and read, and once you've done that, comment on my pieces (whether you enjoyed them or not) or check out some of the other work there... I guarantee that you'll find SOMETHING you like...!
