Tweet of the Day, Seo Linn Does, In Fact, Slap edition.
Fairly hard, too.
My eight year old has been begging my dad to let us watch “that Irish boy band” and we were all confused. Then she goes to YouTube and pulls up Irish Folk/Indie band Seo Linn and… they fucking slap. https://t.co/wHtntkt0SY

Album of the Week: POWER UP.
Yeah, POWER UP is going on the Wish List. Maybe I’ll get it for Christmas. Pre-ordered the MP3 album, though.
The INVINCIBLE Amazon series teaser trailer.
Hey, I remember this one!
Via TVWeb. If you’re not familiar with this comic, I’d suggest that you just wait until it hits Amazon in 2021 before looking into it. The trailer itself is very not-spoilery, which is nice. I remember the comic itself being very good, although I never finished it because I… think I stopped hanging out with the person who was collecting it, or something. The days start to blur, after a while.
10/08/20 Snippet, PATCHWORK GOD.
Heresy!
Patreon!I keep my spare gear in a bag. While being half-shredded isn’t always how one of these jobs end, it happens often enough I’ve learned to be smart about my stuff. At least I didn’t have to replace any clothing this time, unlike Jack. His back had already scabbed over, but he and I were going to need to eat something pretty soon if we wanted to snap back quick.
Or eat someone, I thought happily as looked down at the now-immobilized Blasphemous Tome. I had stabbed a needle through its spine in just the right place to destroy its ability to move, or do anything except drown in pain; as soon as I could find a grill somewhere, Jack and I would be all set. Although I suppose we could just eat the Tome raw, but where’s the fun in that?
The funny part? It’s still a better fate for the Tome than us dragging it back home. Which we’ve done, when one of our targets has been really egregious about what it had done to the humans. We may not love humans the way the Other Side does; some of us don’t even like humans. But a deal’s a deal, and the one we have with the Other Side works out pretty good for us, all things considered. Besides, our Boss hates traitors trying to escape, because if he couldn’t quite manage the trick, then neither should anybody else.
10/08/20 Update, REVISIONARY: 28300/32000.
This last story will probably hit 8,000 words after all. Neat-o.
Patreon!From “Polly Want”:
…it wasn’t out of Kuiz’s mind. “Look at this,” he said to Blid one afternoon. Kuiz had called up a map of the greenspaces outside the city and was pointing out a collection of dots. “This is where the creature is.”
“All right,” said Blid. “How do you know?”
“Animal attacks,” said Kuiz. Blid blinked. “There’s been reports of treerat mutilations in the area. The greenstewards have been assuming that a pack of foxes or some other predator was involved, but if you see the still pictures” — Kuiz called them up, and Blid grimaced at all the blood — “you can see how it can’t be that.”
Blid made himself look. For a moment he didn’t see anything of the sort; but then, something clicked in his head. “Oh. All the treerats had their heads attacked,” he said.
“And their brains sucked out,” Kuiz said, almost happily.

Tweet of the Day, Cheetawwwww edition.
The Morgan Barod cheetah story won’t be in the Tales From the Fermi Resolution Kickstarter, but it’s probably going to be in the short story sampler now. THE KING-CAT COMMANDS IT.

The GOD CANCER Kickstarter.
I like Greg’s fiction a lot, so I feel pretty good about backing GOD CANCER right away. Besides, it’s in my interest to promote self-publishers, hey?
