Hobson & Choi Podcast #26 - "The Worst Possible Stand-Off"

Hobson & Choi #55 - "S.O.S."

Hobson & Choi #55 - "S.O.S."

Back for the second time this week, and this time it's Choi taking the spotlight. The mess has piled up pretty high - can she take control of the situation?

Yes, it's the second of our two updates this week. Happy birthday us! And after this, frankly, I'm going to have a nap. This has been far more of a battle than I anticipated.

Still, we made it, I'm fairly happy with both chapters, and I hope you are too. If you've enjoyed any of this, then as ever, consider leaving a review on Web Fiction Guide so others can do the same.

Now, I believe I have time for a brief lunch before writing something else. Good day to you all.

Walking Dead review on Dork Adore

The TV people, they are sad, in the forest. Poor TV people, sad, in the forest. (New Walking Dead review on Dork Adore.)

A bit of a comedown after the amazing H&C birthday festivities, but: Walking Dead review time again! Don't worry, there's another Hobson & Choi chapter in about two days.

Hobson & Choi #54 - "John Hobson: Dog Walker"

Hobson & Choi #54 - "John Hobson: Dog Walker"

Birthday bonus chapter time! Our first ever Monday update, to celebrate a whole year since we started. #54 is up on Jukepop now.

If you want a few authorial thoughts as we move into our second year, I did a retrospective kinda blog post here to mark the 50th chapter.

And elsewhere, if you fancy getting us a present, a lovely review on our Web Fiction Guide page here would never go amiss.

But just keep reading and that's probably reward enough. #55 as usual on Thursday!

Hobson & Choi Podcast #25 - Head To Head

It's our birthday! So the bulk of the after-chat this week is taken up with a brief celebratory speech, but all our usual features are still there - including the main story, as Hobson has an ominous chat with Edward Lyne.

Hobson & Choi #53 - "That Morning"

Hobson & Choi #53 - "That Morning"

This week, it's an entirely coincidental Hobson & Choi Valentine's Day special! I just happened to find myself publishing our most romance-angsty episode the day before V-Day. Fate is a funny thing.

Also includes details of what's happening for our upcoming first birthday. It's on Monday, just in case you wanted to buy us a cake.

More seriously: if you want to blog about H&C or have me guest post on your blog to write about the serial or any aspect of it, let me know. Emailing me at nick@nickbryan.com probably quickest.

And that really is that. I shall now return to fretting about actually meeting the schedule I've set myself.

New Walking Dead review!

I'm back on the TV reviewing, with a piece about the return of Walking Dead on Dork Adore! Carl is lonely!

I haven't done many of these reviews lately, mostly because I burnt myself out on them quite badly during 2012-13, and since the fiction seemed to be progressing a little better and hadn't become quite as dull to me, I decided to focus on that. But after a month or so off, I kinda missed them, so I figure I can handle one review a week. Hooray!

Comic Scripting - Useful links, tools and thought balloons (WriteBlog #15)

First and foremost, before I get into this week's actual topic: the Seventh Star Press anthologies containing my two new stories are available for e-readers now! Click this link here to see purchase links from various online places. Not to influence your decision, but they're good fun. The Unseelie Court piece, in particular, is one of my favourite short works.

But that isn't what I'm here to blog about. After a short break to get the novel editing underway, I returned to comic scripting in the last few days, as I still owe a script to GreyHaven Comics. My last effort was chronicled here, and that got through editorial with only minor changes, so how'd it go this time?

Hobson & Choi #52 - "That Night"

Hobson & Choi #52 - "That Night"

At long last, it's time to get the characters drunk and see what happens! Exciting times in this epic fifty-second chapter!

Probably not the first time I'll pull this stunt, but it's always exciting to get it out there for the first time. What mess will ensue? Find out over on Jukepop now!

And no, it isn't quite our first birthday yet,  but the day is coming pretty soon. I have plans, such plans.

Also, shouldn't be too long until you can buy the Seventh Star anthologies containing my stories in ebook form, that'll be fun. Links up here whenever possible.
