Breadspotting

Historical fiction set in London's East End in the 1850s, pitting a resourceful group of delivery drivers for a local bakery against a gang of enforcers for a large commercial firm. Unfinished. Links are to ZIP files that contain formatted PDF, text, and mp3 versions of each chapter.

Stanwyck Manor

A complicated joke involving a series of novels that don't actually exist, just a list of their titles. Which are odd enough on their own, really.

The Last Geomancer

The first nine scenes of a historical fantasy novel, exploring the relationship between Cornwall miners and the Wito Meyunna, now known as the Kaurna. I got this far in and realized I needed to spend at least a year studying the Kaurna language and culture before I could write the other half of the story.

Critters

How might the Pokemon universe have begun? Starts with dimensional crossovers between our world and the world of the Critters, which has no human presence, and explores how it might happen.

• Scene 1: The Zap-rat Incident

Time Tripper

It's ten years after Time Bandits, and Kevin has grown up a ward of the state. Now he's off to find the stray bits of Evil that were left lying around from that rushed, sloppy cleanup at the end, and to punch the Supreme Being in the nose. First, he has to overcome the fundamental ridiculousness of reality.

All installments on AO3.

Serpent's Reach Game Notes

My GM notes for a proposed campaign based on C.J. Cherry'h novel Serpent's Reach, in which the players are hired through cut-outs for a corporate espionage mission against a non-human race that must not get loud. Of course, it inevitably will. Requires Blue Planet V2, and having read the novels Serpent's Reach and 40,000 in Gehenna. A working knowledge of the Alliance-Union universe would be useful. Libreoffice or PDF Version
