Watch out, I might even refer to you as the Chaplain of Trail Life.

Standing by to write more........ //////// New note to self: Seagoing Pehekans, who were on the Comanche side, will be who the ones who show up on the east coast. There, they'll meet the wise Kuffrads. Later, they meet minstrel couple Kaktoresh and Viltori...

I wish you the best of success on that. The only reason why I _won't_ join it is because I _can't_ join it. I simply have no time to spare from real-world obligations. I can, at least, ask this question: would the campaign take place within a setting of the _canonical_ books, or would you use...

Sometimes it's one monster helpless against another monster. "Battle Beyond the Sun" depicted a blobby space monster with NO means of defense being massacred by another blobby monster which was all teeth and claws. "The Black Scorpion" had part of its action inside a deep cavern, where one of...

Here's how it is. _EVERYTHING_ I wrote about _any_ of those characters was written in the days of impact typewriters. No electronic retention of documents. To this very day, around fifty years later, I still have stacks of manuscript pages in my basement, by the door of the laundry room. Being...

Is this thread even still active? Okay, I recognize you, Benisse. When I wrote "Flying Girl and Iron Merchant," you complimented me on my close approximation of Chinese storytelling. At that time we had one member who lived in Indonesia, and she furnished me with cultural details of the South...

A novel titled "The Cyborg and the Sorcerers," followed by "The Wizard and the War Machine," was among the multiple influences which led to my eventual creation of the superhero Grey Eagle. The astronaut protagonist in these books comes to one of numerous terrestroid planets which Earth...

We now return to our scheduled story of Captain Crashburne, Friendzone Pharaoh and Useless Unit. They await the resolution of matters with Joe Greenridge, the "non-qual" sailors under his tutelage, the band "Punkyard Dogs," and Chaplain Creach..... 7 7 7 7 7 7 7

You understand, do you not, that I do this place-holding so as to continue using a chosen type font?

Princess Frances: I _seriously_ like the notion of Jenna Ortega as Jadis. When playing Wednesday Addams, she plays a profoundly selfish narcissist. As Jadis, she would make me want to yell at the screen: "Hey, Aslan, tell Fledge to hold on a minute before transporting Digory and Polly to the...

Readers of the Punksteema subtopic within my Never-Stopping Story, a.k.a. Spacebullies, know that my protagonist Sir Ronald of Goliad, a leader of "Towermen," is an intentional reflection of the gunslinger knights in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Where Roland Deschaine (sp?) pursued an evil...

The next time it was summer in the Southern Hemisphere, Mary and Ahab took passage on board a three-masted sailing ship, cruised south along the coasts of Brazil and Argentina, and reached Patagonia. By this time, the ship's captain had been convinced by the umbrella-parrot that Ahab was NOT a...

"Ahoy, starboard side watch! Fishing trawlers on your quarter. Current not likely to bring them closer, but have the crow's nest man keep a weather eye on them when he comes aloft to relieve me." Over a period of eight years, young Ahab Falworth had routinely booked passage for the two of...

You're plagiarizing a long-ago Quaker. Just go eat some oats.

I might be about to plagiarize myself, because I forgot I already _had_ posted a sonnet written for Geralyn's survival. But the above poem _didn't_ refer to Evening Star's recovery, so I'll post this one for them both...

EVERYBODY HAS TO GET BORN SOMETIME. SO MARY TEACHES AHAB TO BE A _NICE_ PIRATE.

There was a comic strip in the Fifties through Eighties, called "Pogo." The titular character was an opossum dwelling in the Georgia wetlands. All sorts of Talking Animals lived there as well. My focus here is on "Churchy LaFemme," an erect-standing turtle. (His name is a takeoff on a French...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch dressing bottling stand, Brosimya was tasting some of the nectar and ambrosia being sold by a lady named Honey Bean. Soon the wicked princess remarked, "This taste of honey is a taste much sweeter than wine." "Thank you for saying so, Your Grace, I mean Your...

The man blinked. "I never saw a blue parrot with a short beak!" Flakefeather patted the man's shoulder with a wingtip. "I'm not a parrot echoing back a human's words. Hmmm, dibba-dibba-dibba-dubbi-dub, let's see. I'll recite a poem." The man sat on a bench. "Go ahead, recite. More...
