genre talk

Well, lately i've been reading anthologies. i like the "best of the year" type anthologies. such as, best science fiction, best horror, etc. it exposes me to a lot of different writers and styles, and helps me understand a little better what's currently happening in the various genres. but i discovered that there are other anthologies that deal with subgenres, which have interested me. there's for example, the "New Weird" anthology, which many people are skeptical is actually real. Because w...

another Machoponi review

i thought i'd post another person's review of Machoponi, one that people would otherwise not run across. it's a pretty cool review i think, by Emory Pueschel. Here's a link. I can't promise it'll work, but I'll cut and paste the review.

Spunk Goblin Press is a fabulous idea. Weird books for children. What could go wrong? Dr. Seuss did it. Roald Dahl did it. Well, while it may be true that many children's books are weird, Machoponi is mos...

By de Selby (Eire) - See all my reviews
This is a bizarro take on subject matter that should be close to the heart of anyone who grew up in the 1980s. All those old cartoon...

expanding my website?

well, i'm seriously considering adding a new section. i'm always seeking ways to increase traffic and entertain people. so i thought i'd add a new subsection to my website dealing with Faeries, Alice in Wonderland and Ponies! It's a trifecta! I wanted to make a nice acronym to make it easier to remember. Unfortunately that acronym is FAP. But who knows, maybe that would be a good thing. The only alternative is PAF, and well, i think that sucks. right now, i don't want to take the time away...

possible title for my faerie book

well, i've been working on my faerie book, about a faerie girl who is forced to have braces on her teeth, and the boy Darren who accompanies her on her journey. i'm at around page 103 of the rough draft. i'm not sure how long it will end up. maybe around 150 pages? anyway, i never really had a title. i thought of The Faerie with Braces, which is a nice enough title, but the problem is that it starts with the word "The" which is a problem because a lot of stupid programs alphabetize titles t...

flair and bumper stickers

so, about a week ago, i started looking into the whole flair and bumper sticker apps thing on myspace. up to this point, i haven't added any apps, because i thought they might be a trick or that i might turn into a person who adds every single app. what can i say, i'm a suspicious person. but the flair and bumper stickers seem okay. so i made some. i like how it all gets put into the system and if someone really likes a piece of flair or a picture, they can then tell their friends about it. ...

the "Juice Poem"

i just finished this poem for my faerie book. it makes more sense, in the book. the poem contemplates the nature of juice, before the characters enter the "juice cave." i'd love to read y'alls thoughts. again, the poem really does make more sense in the book.

Like cookies crisp, we are, when born,
Seeking to swim in mother's juice.
But later, from that milk we're torn!
And so the curse of time's set loose!
And cookies crumble, cups transform,
And juices too, refuse to conform,
Or even change into a ...

It's "My Little Pony" ... BIZARRO style! A long time ago Poniworld was split in two. On one side of the Jagged Line is the Pastel Kingdom, a magical land of music, parties, and positivity. On the other side of the Jagged Line is the Dark Kingdom inhabited by an army of undead ponies. Every pastel poni knows never to cross the Jagged...
