Hitherby Dragons
I feel the absolute need to point out this fantastic writer's efforts, which have been hilarious, especially in blending disparate themes. My favourites so far are Rainbow Noir (Care Bears meet film noir) and I Remember All My Life (a Witch-King of Angmar and perky teengirl superhero buddy story).
Not convinced? Try out some of these snippets from "Rainbow Noir":
[Nihilism Bear says] "My motto is, 'Stop crying -- start dying!' You look like a girl who needs a fresh dose of nihilism. Have you been imagining that life has a point? That's a good dream, but all it does in the long run is make you hurt more. When you realize it's all a futile, endless cavalcade of pain, it makes all that struggling you did kind of stupid. Doesn't it?"And from "I Remember All My Life":"I saved the universe once," [Wisp] says.
"Tsk, tsk." He points his fuzzy paw at her. "Bang."
Wisp slumps.
Nihilism Bear relaxes the black glow, and turns to face the other two. His hand goes out to them, palm up, and he wriggles his fused furry fingers in invitation. "Nihilism Bear is hot today. Who else wants some?"
The Witch-King of Angmar points his finger at her. It has a thin gold ring on it.Courtesy of Doyce"What are you doing?"
"I am trying to use my magical ring to make you shut up."
"Does that work?"
The Witch-King of Angmar sighs. "Evidently not."
