‘Give Me Something To Sing About.’
Early night tonight. Heck, it’s a holiday weekend.
10/30/20 Update, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter.
Some more interest today in the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter, which is good. Excellent, even. We continue on as the month ends and the new month dawns. Or something equally poetical.
In the email: The @HPLHS’s THE CURSE OF YIG DART.
It’s still technically still on preorder, but the HPL Historical Society decided to drop the MP3 for Halloween for everybody who preordered. Happy Halloween to me! I’m listening to it now.

PS: Entertainingly, the free short story from my TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter is ‘A Bargain With Yig.’ Only in mine, he’s… well, why not read the story?

10/29/20 Update, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION.
With twenty days to go, I do have some hope that TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION will at least clear the current stretch goals. I think that the infamous trough came early this go-round, which is unfortunate but not cripplingly so. I may have to reassess whether I can use Backerkit this time around, though. I’ll know more in a couple of weeks.

PS: It was not the best day generally, honestly.
THE MANDALORIAN Season 1 recap.
Soon. SOON.
Seriously, I do have one worry, and it’s the same one Honest Trailers had: bloat. The first season worked very, very well because it was so austere. You were getting told one person’s story, and that was more or less it. But now they’re bringing in a lot of other stuff from the wider Star Wars universe. Will it still work?
Guess we’ll see!

In the Mail: The Night Stalker/The Night Strangler.
I’d been meaning to get The Night Stalker/The Night Strangler for a while now, and I finally got around to snagging a copy. I mostly got it for The Night Strangler, because it’s harder to find and I haven’t seen it for decades. Note that this isn’t the Kolchak series, though. Just the two TV movies.
10/29/20 Snippet, PATCHWORK GOD.
I just had a horrible realization what’s happening here. Glad I figured it out in time!
Patreon!We knew there wasn’t anybody in the rooms. If there had been, any of the three of us would have felt their presence at this range. And it turned out there were no traps; or if there were, then they were designed to trigger in the presence of humans. Which isn’t exactly unreasonable. Even most of the humans who know about the supernatural don’t really believe in either Side. We’re metaphors or anthropomorphic representations or whatever other rationalization the humans are using this week. It’d be more annoying if it weren’t usually so useful.
So what was left was were three connected rooms. The two outer ones looked sloppy and carelessly lived-in; humans apparently didn’t smoke in hotel rooms anymore, but the air still tasted of low oxygen and various organic byproducts. These people weren’t exactly neat freaks, either: clothes spilled out of overnight bags, and the underwear was piling up.
There was one other thing; there was plenty of food and water, all prepackaged and in bulk. At first, I just let that pass (seems efficient, right?), but it made Jack stop short. “That is strange,” he said.
“Oh, is it?” said Pat.
“It is at least something of interest,” replied Jack.
