Madness, that's what. Elves become sadistic, orcs become creative and noble, and everyone tries not to lose their minds. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/492857/ The story up till now; The General is preparing for an invasion of Archipelago, with tips from the Diplomat; the King has asked the forces of the Academy for Aspiring Young Heroes and the Occupational Young Villain's Educatorium for help. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/461243/ Poor Mallan. He gets...um...kicked around, in this chapter. :( http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/454019/ Vikthin speaks, for once. :D Greg's chapter, but we both went through it and did some edits. Should be good. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/454016/ Having some more fun with this section. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/435889/ Oooh this is a fun one. :D http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/434973/  Revenologists are a failing breed. They are not allowed into any of the cliques or circles of demonologists or folkologists. They aren’t even allowed into each other’s cliques, because they don’t trust each other. But they can do one thing quite well—argue with each oth.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/424250/  “So how is your old man?” Upton was walking in front of Zeph. “I would have talked to him, but I was a little pressed for time.”Zeph glanced behind him; he saw the faint outline of a tall feminine figure, holding a gun at his back as she followed them.“Don&rsq.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/424249/  Sergeant Tungsten threw a salute to his Grand Master, then threw another one—because he felt like it.“The Undead-O-Senser is going positively mad, sir!”Philo jumped up from his desk immediately. There went the evening at home.“Alright, Sergeant, arm the troops. Ho.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/424247/ We both worked on this chapter together. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/423596/ The Coffinmaker’s cell phone rang. Unlike many vampires, he read magazines. He knew what was going on in the Dayworld. He flipped the cell open.“Bonus vesper.”“Coffinmaker, this is Rocky.”“Yes?” The Coffinmaker sat in his chair and picked up a pair o.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/420567/  Zeph was watching the Coffinmaker. The vampire stood, hands on hips, long old-fashioned coat billowing behind him. It was another cloudy night. The fog nearly touched the ground—it rubbed at the trees and the buildings about, obscuring them like an eraser on a page.“They’re.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/420566/ In the mountains of the Old World the Gypsies say that fruit, also, can turn vampiric. If a pumpkin or a watermelon is kept for ten days then it will begin to growl and perhaps roll around the floor. So, if you thought Jack-O-Lanterns were scary when you were a child, these would be worse. While f.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/420565/ Greg's part. I simply helped him with the editing, the characters are all his, the humor is all his. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/417385/ My part http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/417358/ A novella I'm doing with Greg (the Titan...) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/417357/ WARNING; THIS STORY IS OVER 6,000 WORDS LONG! If I requested you to read it, feel free to take your time, read a third of it and come back to it later. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/411325/ This is a weird, psychotic, overall strange story that you may just like. I know I liked the writing of it! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/411140/ This is a poem from my novel, 'The Coming of Night.' It's main focus is to amuse, so please tell me if you weren't amused =) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/409236/ Eighteen Years LaterThe room was full of tenseness. When a man is tense, you can see it. When a vampire is tense, you can feel it permeating the air around you. With eleven vampires in the room, the very walls vibrated with it.      The room’s contents were an inte.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/405077/ ...And the adventure continues! A NOTE TO EVERYONE WHO READ 'WATCH OUT FOR THE GARLIC'; Ned has been changed to Cy, and Jim to Upton. Hope this doesn't confuse you. Enjoy! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/405075/ This is a humorous vampire fantasy novel. It stemmed off of my short story, Watch Out for the Garlic. Thanks for reading! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/405070/ My computer that has the book I'm working on broke down--so I decided to take a hiatus from writing. It didn't work. I had to write. So I wrote this. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/402729/ This is dedicated to The Werkinatics--Jane, Caleb B., and Renae. There, now I've dedicated a piece to you all. Hope you're happy. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/399385/  Who is the center of the Universe, anyway? I keep telling you it isn’t you, and you remind someone else that it isn’t them, and they tell that woman down the street that it isn’t her, and she writes a book about it, inevitably. Which doesn’t help to answer the questio.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/398256/ This has been too long in coming. I finished it a while ago but still wasn't sure if it was done. If you have any insights as to if I could end it better, then please share! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/396619/ This is a sequel to 'In the Event of Madness', requested by Jane. Werkins is back, and this time trying to protect Sir from being stabbed, poisoned, or blown up by his nephew. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/393446/ A working title. This is a wacky story for a contest. The premise is, all those fantastical creatures can't be ferocious all the time, can they? What happens when they come into the modern times? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/391872/ A tribute to butlers everywhere. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/385983/ A working title. Please tell me if you have any ideas for the title. I'd be soooo grateful. I know it's hokey. This is a sequel (kind of) to My Visit with the Archangel, which has a few of the same phenomena. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/376859/ One day I thought 'Hey, how would the elves and the dwarves and all those other fantastical creatures feel about global warming and what we've done to the environment?' I wrote down eleven words that rhymed with environment and wrote this. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/365520/ This is a now-finished short story. It was somewhat inspired by a book I just read by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett--'Good Omens', a satirical book about Armageddon, the Antichrist, and the end of the world. It was fun to write http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/359264/ This story was inspired by Terry Pratchett's character Death in his Discworld series. This story is set in the same universe as my novella 'Of Quests and Quandaries'. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/348411/ This is based on a recent Thanksgiving experience. It was pretty funny and I thought I might turn it into a poem. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/347644/ I notice so many short stories today that don't really catch a hold of their readers. This is just a short article I wrote as advice. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/346276/ This short story is set in the same universe as 'The Charge of the Laser Brigade'. I'll think of what to name the universe sometime. I know it. However, if you haven't read 'The Charge,' you'll still get pretty much everything in this story. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/345241/ This is a short story that I've had the idea of for a while. If you don't get a chance to read all of it, please tell me what you think of what you read! Any comments would be great. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/343812/ A sort of farcical story based on that recent news flash, 'KFC President Roger Eaton prepares to move Colonel Sanders' Recipe to New Security'. What would happen if two guys decided to steal the recipe? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/342550/ An epic style poem--old style of writing. Sorry about the weirdish spacing, I pasted this off Word. Don't like the text editor. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/342479/ This is a humorous sci-fi short story that I am posting on my blog. It was sixteen pages long on Word, but if you can't read all of it, please tell me what you think of what you've read. Thank you! http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Benedick/342449/
