Not sure why the images aren't showing up, buuuuuut:

I’ve been doing the Randomly Generated Fiction project for a couple of years now, and it’s been a lot of fun – the ideas that have come out of it have been really interesting and I’m still having a lot of fun (and pain. So much pain.) revising the drafts I’ve done and the drafts that are, uh, currently refusing to play nicely, if you will.

Lookin’ at you, Greek Mythology/Good Omens-inspired weirdness.

But it's been two years and I've got almost enough randomly generated short stories to make up another collection, and I'm starting to feel the itch to do something different. I also want to try and involve my readers and patrons in the process a bit more.

Anyone who follows my fandom blog over on Tumblr knows that I am a prompt-based lifeform. (It even says so in the description!) I love prompts – I might even say that I have an unhealthy love of story prompts. My entire Tumblr inbox is stuffed with prompt requests (I don’t mean to hoard them like a dragon, I swear.)

Recently I did a fic meme challenge thingie where people send you a fake fic title and you write  a quick little summary of a fake fic based solely on the fake title. It’s gone around Tumblr for a while and now it’s popping up on Twitter as well, so you may have seen it.

I’ve done it a couple of times now. It’s fun and low-energy and, to my surprise, some of the fake fic summaries are really friggin’ intriguing? And now I want to write them?? And probably will, at some point???

Now I want to try and do something like that here.

I want you, O Best Beloved (Presumably Human) Readers and Patrons, to send me fake fic titles.

Here’s how this is gonna work:

Before I say anything else:

Creeps, Ghouls and Jewels is available for preorder!!!!1! 

FINALLY!

Right, now then, onto the story!

I tried something new this week: I rolled a bunch of dice with pictures on them. Then I sat down and wrote a short story entirely inspired/based around those pictures. 

Come one, come all, and read about a hoax so lovingly rendered, it should be considered science p--wait, I can't use that word on Tumblr anymore. 

Anyway, come join me on the moon! We have bison and bipedal beavers and MOONICORNS.

Oh, and racism. :/
