Armageddon Outta Here Is, Um, Here

Ha!

I cannot BELIEVE they've let me use that title!

Ladies and gentlemen, the collection I've been promising you, the book that scoops up all those little short stories and provides you with some brand new ones, has been unleashed. There won't be a Spoiler Zone post because it's not one of the "book" books, but even so, try to limit the amount you give away about the endings.

Of the new stories included, I'm finding it hard to pick a favourite. The Horror Writers' Halloween Ball is the most out-and-out comedy of the lot, but Across A Dark Plain is a WESTERN, for god's sake, and it was SO much fun changing my writing style slightly to convey that mood.

But I think Get Thee Behind Me, Bubba Moon is probably my favourite. Much like The End of the World (which is also collected here), it's told from the point of view of an outsider, in this case a middle-aged American man. I didn't mean it to be quite so long, but it grew from a short story to a novella before I knew what was happening. The tone of this one is different, too — until a certain pair of intrepid detectives wander in with their bickering and their jokes...

Anyway, I hope you like it. I hope you ALSO like the sample chapter from The Dying of the Light. It is VERY well written, if I do say so myself.

Oh, and speaking of TDOTL, tomorrow I shall be revealing an awesomely cool limited edition alternative cover.

And it ROCKS.

Dragona Pine said...

(Oh damn it.


I dedicate this page to fizzy water, and Jaffa Cakes, and waffles, and cardboard, and cushions and PS3 controllers and tennis balls and DVD players and jackets and headphones and mobile phones. And also bubble-blowing machines.)

Dragona Pine said...

So... could I have a glass of water and a straw, please?

Amethyst Temerity said...

WAFFLES!!! (>'_')>#

LET'S HAVE AN APPLE CIDER WAFFLE PARTY! :D

Dragona Pine said...

(Basically:

Everyone seems to be getting drunk apart from Leri who can only drink water.

The Dark Shadow and James are plotting.)

Amethyst Temerity said...

(Okay. So I don't have to worry about it? Wonderful!)

Star Inkbright said...

I always saw my Bloglandians word art, the one I did ages and ages ago, as one of the best things I've ever created.
Now I can see the imperfections in it.
Usually seeing the imperfections in past works makes me happy, but not this time, because that was representative of me and what I did, so it seems as if everything I've been hanging on isn't there good after all, but I guess it never was, and to be honest, all of this is electrical impulses anyway, and why should it matter if it looks good or not when 'looking' is just electrical impulses? If we had different receptors, that might be the Mona Lisa. If we had yet different receptors, that might be the worse thing we've ever seen, and we would recoil from it as we would a bad smell.
It's comforting, in a way, when you think of things like that. The other day, when I was walking out of my lesson to my speaking assessment, I was scared. As I was walking out of Kingston, I was reflecting that I'd always seen "sick with nerves" as a metaphor but that it was surprisingly accurate, and that I'd often seen people in books find out how true saying were like this, and how maybe saying had more truth in them than we thought, and that there was probably a reason they were saying. But anyway. I was walking past the sports centre telling myself it was electrical impulses, but I didn't want my nerves to go away, in a way, because if you weren't nervous, wasn't there something missing? Weren't you not doing it properly? And many times I've regretted not having situations where I can experience 'proper' emotions, and I was thinking about how I knew that if I wasn't nervous, I'd be stressing out and wondering why the hell I wasn't nervous and feeling like I was missing something (which is how I get with rollercoasters. Though not with nervousness. Rollercoasters are nerves-inducing. but speaking assessments are probably worse.
C asked me if I was not scared, going up the slope of a rollercoaster to fall down on the other side, and I said of COURSE I was, but I got that fear from assessments. And she was like yes, but rollercoasters are FUN scared. And, um, no. The fear feels the same. You wonder what the hell you're doing and you have the panic that you won't actually survive and you feel sick. No difference.
But I suppose all emotion depends on your perspective. People emotion-chase. They run after emotion trying to catch it, because to experience emotion is to feel alive. When you're going up a rollercoaster, you've found some and you're happy exploiting your emotional trigger.
So maybe if people like C who for some reason enjoy being scared thought about assessments like rollercoasters, they'd find them fun.
Hmm.
But anyway, this is all contributing to what I was originally saying but it kind of went off the plan a bit. My point is - I wouldn't want to be deprived of my horrible nervousness even though I felt scared sick. Because emotion is living.
So I think my point is, emotion is living.
Oh, and my other point it . . . next time you're dying from negative emotion, remember that you're alive. :)

My 'pretend it's biology' argument, btw, does not work when you're playing with people, because people are far too valuable to get wrong.
Or maybe I'm just looking for excuses.
I'm good at looking for excuses.
I think I use emotion as an excuse.
I mean, I get over crying realtively well.
I think I don't ignore panic in the same way because I want to avoid doing what I'm panicking about, so I just go "Look, I'm panicking, you can't do this to me", but I'm going to have to deal with it some point in life anyway, and I just realised I'm writing this to procrastinate, and I just realised this is relevant to no one.

(And now i will explain it better. Okay so you all are thrown into a new dimension, alone. There is a challenge set for you. A challenge designed for your character based on their worst fears and nightmares. A challenge that WILL be challenging. Emotionally and physically. Win the challenge, you return home. Lose..and you're stuck their forever. Sound simple? You're challenges should not be simple and should not be quick to win. Silente herself will be facing a remant driven blogland. Yes. Hers is everyone in blogland getting posses and her being left to save them. She will have to hide from all of blogland. I look forwards to rping it. Okay? Good.)

Star Inkbright said...

(If it's a swimming pool, you're defeating the whole point of the exercise. You are also failing to give yourself a way to get out of your dimension. You are also nullifying the whole concept. You are also ridding yourself of a really good writing opportunity You are also sabotaging Silente's idea. I am also not really a very nice person. I'm just scared so I mostly pretend I am. I think it's good when you suddenly realise you can't fall back on what you always where. I think the instability is probably good for you.)

(SEE why can't we do THIS to adapt us as authors in English as opposed to WRITING a draft then REWRITING the draft then REWRITING that draft then SLOW WRITING that draft then REWRITING that draft?)

Dragona Pine said...

*falls over a root from one of the trees*

*mould begins to grow on her feet and ankles*

*shrieks and tries to scrape it off but is leaped on by the synthetic zombies before she can get rid of it and stand up*

*manages to haul the first zombie from her and fires her shotgun, which fires a single projectile - killing two of the zombies in a row*

Mary Contrary said...

Back! But with the same mbd/msd warnings.

Silento, I kind of want to make a character entirely for the sake of joining this idea. :P ^^

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*walks through the abandoned Blogland, wondering where everyone is*
Hey guys!
*waits*
*figures stir between the woods*
*normal people, bloglandians, walk out with smiles on their faces* *the same smile* *on every face*
*frowns*
H-hello?
*silence*
*the others all stare at her*

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Ah okay then. :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*There are footsteps heard, and Odin's voice echoes from the stone walls* Stop!!!

Am I cursed? *Loki's skin is becoming the color of the Frost Giants*

Odin: No.

What am I?

Odin: You are my son. *Loki turns to face Odin*

What more then that? The Casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jodenheim that day, was it?

Odin: No. In the aftermath of the battle, I went into the temple and I found a baby. Small, for a giant's offspring. Abandoned, suffering, left to die, Laufey's son.

Laufeyson?

Odin: Yes.

Why? You were knew deep in Joden blood, why would you take me?

Odin: You were an innocent child.

No, you took me for a purpose, what was it? TELL ME!!!!

Odin: I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day, bring about an allience, bring about permanent peace through you. But those plans no longer matter.

So I am no more then another stolen relic, locked up here until you have use of me?

Odin: Why do you twist my words?

You could have told me what I was from the beginning, why didn't you?

Odin: You are my son, I only wanted to protect you from the truth.

Why? Because I-I-I'm the monster parents tell their children about at night?

Odin: No-

It all makes sense now, why you favored Thor all these years, because no matter how much you claimed to love me, you couldn't have a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard!!!

Christen:
*-hmm, I wonder why I got upset then. I mean, Im a creature who has scales for skin. She is a beautiful young woman who deserves someone who looks at least a bit human*

*Sees an oasis*
Well that was easy.
*pauses*
*guy with Inky is strangling her just the other side of it*
Inky:help, Chris

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((They need to, otherwise I can't play their fears properly, Zan needs to be unable to help him, and vice versa!-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*more bloglandian come*
*ones she hasn't met before*
*s giant crowd of people, all in the clearing*
*whispers come from them*
She hasn't been claimed.
Of course not.
She's mine!
She can't be claimed
She dead. I can feel it from here
This meat sack remembers her
She's a vampire.

*silence again as they all blink once more*

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: It's okay. :) *hugs* I get ya.

Dragona Pine said...

*mould slowly advances up her suit*

*brushes it off the best she can, and activates her holographic blade and starts slashing at the zombies*

*scrambles backwards to try and get up, but the zombies keep her pinned down*

*quickly activates her combat drone, which begins firing a flamethrower at the zombies*

Dragona Pine said...

(God damn it. Why is it always me when I don't want it?

I dedicate this page to Silente's RP idea. Because it's awesome. And I'm glad I just provided the villain. :P)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

My, what an interesting situation you lot have concocted.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(What's going on? Also, I'm back baby!)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: LOKI!! You know this....*realizes Loki can't even hear her* Oh god no...

Odin: Wherever you go you cause death ruin and war. You should be dead.

I only want to be king, it is my birth right.

Odin: Your birth right was to die on frozen rock, as a child! It is because of Frigga you are still alive.

You plan to make Thor-

Odin: You do not belong in Asgard, Loki. You are hereby banished to Jodenheim.

Zanida: *lunges at Odin, and the scene shifts so that they are in the battle with the Dark Elves*

*is pretty shaken, barely able to speak*

Zanida: Loki, look at me, it wasn't real. Odin died centuries ago.

He told me...banished me...

Zanida: LOKI FOR GODS SAKE WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOU TO BE HAVING AN EMOTIONAL BREAK DOWN!!!! MALIKITH IS COMING, HE COULD BE AFTER FRIGGA!!!
