Bits and Pieces

$2
/ month
There will be the occasional freebie for lurkers, but $2 a month will give you access to a wide – and perhaps bizarre – array of my works. Maybe I overthink things, but broad speculations lead me places ordinary stories do not. Here you’ll find unused chapters, outlines, plots that never quite gelled, encyclopedia-like notes about characters, monsters and fantasy lands, and various efforts that don’t quite fit the “short story” as editors define it.
  • Access to unpublished works, essays and notes

This will allow you access to the “bits and pieces” as well as longer works, essays, excerpts of upcoming novels.

A big jump, but here I’m giving out pieces of my life! I never realized before how many items I produced beyond simple writing. Sketches, [crude] comics, maps, cards, pamphlets, even the occasional fake magazine! I couldn’t just play a RPG or board game – I created my own boards, cards and characters with 3" x 5" cards and Sharpies.

In olden times a writer had only one original manuscript that was marked with notes and corrections; these unique items were often auctioned off. Besides the access to the previous two tiers, you in this tier deserve unique artifacts of your own, mailed to you in plastic baggies with a short description of what you’re getting. They are more substantial than a simple autograph, and they’ll probably be worth something after I’m dead!

Which won’t be for some time, however – I have to produce more and ever more stories, essays and reviews for the Fantasy World Project!
