The Unpublishable

No. In fact, I'm generally lucky if I've scribbled the plot idea on a piece of scrap paper and don't forget not to recycle it.

It's been a shitty week, and writing was mostly stalled. So enjoy Squigslayer II: City of Squigs - the sequel to last week's "Squigslayer!"

OK, i read the first Squigslayer Story.
Warhammer Fantasy Filth! I Approve!
Now on to the next part.

The second part was not such filth and an epic undead army beattle.
I Approve!

You like Necromancy and Steampunk, don't you? O.o
But somehow, reading on your blog makes my eyes hurt, probably because of the light writing on black background being a bit of a strain on them <.<;,

Also, i REALLY wish you would do a bit more proof-reading.
There ain't much that destroys my enjoyment quite as much as grammatical errors or typos. Let it be the worst of fanfiction, but if the typing and grammar are in order, i can, usually, get some bit of enjoyment from it . .

Everybody's a critic...yes, I do need to proof stuff, but, y'know. Incentive is lacking.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 6:07 pm

i am not a critic.
i just like to whine about stuff.

and i get you there . . i hate having to proof my own stuff too x.x
if i did not think it to be correct, i would not have done it that way

I thought we were here for the proofing. That said, I've been busy with training at my better-than-nothing call center job so I've fallen behind on my online activities including my Unpublishables and I gotta spend my time making musical conductor wizard jpgs first. Priorities!

"The bartender imagined the old man stopped in an all(e)y"

Unless it was a kinkier line than I visualized, which would not necessarily be a first.

I was actually confused by the gender pronoun typo in paragraph 3.

Not quite old-school science fiction and unasked questions today on The Unpublishable today with "Among the Faithful" - http://www.the-unpublishable.com/2012/1 ... thful.html

Honestly, if I were an award-winning science fiction writer I think I could spin the central idea of that out into a thought-provoking novel examining blah blah fucking blah, but I'm not and I didn't.

You always can later. That's a common enough occurrence.

That was a beautifull story . .
The only thing that really halted me on this one was when you went, without reason, from third person to first person and back to third person once.

Well the reason is that I had written out one of the sermons, and then decided to axe it. This story is more raw than most of the others. I may revisit it at some point.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 8:35 pm

no, cutting out the sermons was a good idea.
it does not make any sense since the bugs would not understand them anyway.

I'm not good at critiquing writing (much to my wife's dismay), but it was a fun read.
