Hobson & Choi Podcast #16 - Could Be Darker

The big midway action sequence begins this week in the story, as Hobson & Choi discover why one generally doesn't lurk around strange buildings at night. Meanwhile, in the back matter, I get a bit overexcited.

New TV review: Agents of SHIELD

Guest-review of the Agents of SHIELD mid-season finale on Dork Adore. Surely it's stunningly eventful?

That was a refreshing reminder of why I stopped writing that show up week-by-week. Ah well.

Hobson & Choi #44 - "The Hammer Falls"

All kinds of grim visitations involving Hobson in our second Case Two epilogue. Will he be okay? It'll be close.

So yes, a mere couple of hours after blogging about H&C's anthology appearance, here we are with a new chapter. I'll leave you alone for a bit now, I swear. It's a decent chapter though, the final moments of Case Two, before we launch into Case Three next week.

As ever, the Podcast is still going as well, if this still isn't enough Hobson & Choi. Enjoy.

Anthologies, both JukePop and Comic Book (WriteBlog #10)

Those of you who see my updates on any form of social media are probably familiar with the photograph on the right of me (and my thumb) in the Jukepop Serials anthology, as I posted it more or less everywhere on Tuesday night.

Now, for anyone who fancies some context, here it is: Jukepop Serials, the publishers of Hobson & Choi, have produced a print collection of their ten "best" serials.

Review: Homeland!

Review of last night's UK Homeland episode on The Digital Fix, as ACTION-BRODY leaps into ACTION.

Only two episodes left, and I'm pleasingly excited. Also, Christmas coming pretty soon.

Hobson & Choi Podcast #15 - So Far, So Awesome

The calm before the metaphorical storm, as Hobson and Choi have one last fateful check-in with the Social Awesome crew. Elsewhere, I have been watching UK TV for once and writing comics.

New TV review: The Walking Dead

Walking Dead! Mid-season half-way semi-finale kinda-review! Exciting times. Death, zombies. Up now on Dork Adore.

First weekend of Advent! If you're currently riding out the office party hangover, hope it doesn't hurt as much as mine.

Hobson & Choi #43 - "Sad Receptionist"

Case Two epilogue spotlight for Angelina Choi, as she attempts to deal with romance and street crime at the same time. Tense.

This week's chapter is a few hours late, sorry about that. Technical issues, fixed now. Hope none of you had withdrawal twitches in the meantime.

More excitingly, we were #6 in the Jukepop Top 30 for November! Best placing yet! Woo! Thanks to all for voting, don't forget to continue.

Also had some new and quite charming reviews on our Web Fiction Guide page. Check them out, leave one yourself, whatever you like.

Most importantly, hope you enjoy the chapter. Case Three beckons!

Comic scripting - Invisible words? Too many words? Words? (WriteBlog #9)

And now, a change of pace: a blog not about NaNoWriMo. About six blogs ago, I wrote about a bunch of short pitches I was putting together for some comic stories. Well, while I busied myself with bashing out a novel-third in Nov, I also heard that two of those had been accepted. So, yes, if all goes well, two shorts by me will appear in GreyHaven anthologies in the future. Good times.

Now, since I only had to write paragraph-long summaries originally, this news also means I must now write the scripts for both these stories. So, that's been my project since NaNo finished. How's that gone?
