Excellent free audio-book, or audio-pulp if you will, from Razorfist. He does a truly professional level job of transferring Walter B Gibson’s original story into audio form, excellent voice-work and expertly chosen music and sounds used at just the right moments.
The teen superhero team (not really all teenagers) the Front Line vacations in Las Vegas where old enemies and new problems threaten their continued existence as a group.
Hero Worship, Section One: False Protagonist. I continue work on the story, but was sidetracked as I my National Guard unit was activated for Covid-19 relief (I worked assembling kits for food banks if you're curious). I have however made progress, including a large revision to the first section, expanding it adding quite a bit…
Hero Worship: Exert, Enter the New Guardians I joined a writer's group recently, and while they've enjoyed the story, they suggested the first chapter needed some more action, so I wrote some in while introducing a couple of new characters, one of whom in some ways epitomizes some of the problems of superhero culture in…
New chapter done at long last. I know this has been much delayed, but I have just finished a chapter for Hero Worship. This is now chapter 4, although previously the last chapter was 4, but while doing some edits and revisions to earlier chapters I consolidated chapters 2 and 3. Good news is…
Much delayed thanks to a few things, but the next chapter is finally ready. This chapter is a bit more setup but also explains some things like where exactly the rules are on things like guns. Does it count if it's mounted on a vehicle or on a turret? Certainly not when it's Batman. To…
Hero Worship Interlude 1: The Perpetuity Cube While writing the main plot I have had few ideas for stories which fit, but can be left out. I took this a step further in this case by making the whole thing autonomous so that people unfamiliar with the central story can still read it, and it…
Chapter 3 of Hero Worship is a go, with the setting established the plot starts picking up. You can skip to Chapter 3 in the document just by clicking on it in the contents. https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQPYZuKwnCJjObNzgVN_dRpz8ERn2ARIKwhrF64R0M1LLVy5FCXMu3fXrF4HDe7CGdLaOHgsuhfux0B/pub I should acknowledge some advice from my brother on this to make things more obvious because as much as some…
Hero Worship Chapter 2 is now up. This is more of a behind the scenes chapter of how the Supers in this setting are wrapped up in promotional and merchandising empires, but I'm proud of how funny a couple of scenes in particular turned out. A large part of my reasoning for some of this…
A satirical deconstruction of superhero stories, but unlike most I have seen this tries to look at the problems of what if people of such immense power had more common failings, and how that could easily lead to disaster.
