Got more Pilots content ready, but I need to know you're out there. Comment to keep it coming.
Deeply satisfying finale, though Rowling seems to have written it with a screenplay in mind rather than a novel. That's all I'll say.
Harry Potter's emotional arc across six books, told entirely in emoticons. New book out tomorrow!
A speculative fiction setup tracing humanity's future evolution: rising IQs lead to an autism pandemic, prompting genetic engineering to restore emotional intelligence. The result is a new breed of "geemo" superstars with Profound Empathic Ability. Introducing Anna Gajewski, born 2215, whose story is just beginning.
Reading "Curious Incident" for the first time. The protagonist, who has Asperger's, reminds me uncomfortably of myself. I want to make a list of people who should read it to understand their own behavior, which probably means I should be on that list. Finished it in a day. It made me cry.
I wrote a 13,000-word play called "Code." It's pretentious, plotless, and assumes you've read The Selfish Gene. The characters are just vehicles for ideas. Available in several formats. Tell me what you think.
I've finally finished my short story "Spree" and it's available in PDF, Word, text, and OpenOffice formats. Give it a read and let me know what you think. (Update: apparently the ending still sucks. Bah.)
A fantasy vignette featuring Lord Seldolivaw, a gifted young lord who seeks Lady Deborah's aid against a growing threat in his realm, then departs at tremendous speed. Features a memorable telepathic link sequence. Left unfinished.
Science fiction is the only fiction worth reading because it's the only genre that truly *enlightens*. Regular fiction just rearranges the same life experiences into new combinations. Sci-fi gives you genuinely new concepts, new ways of thinking about existence. If I wanted real life, I'd go outside and live it.
