Storyblogging Carnival V
Welcome to the fifth Storyblogging Carnival! Once again we gather stories from around the blogosphere for your reading enjoyment. The previous Storyblogging Carnival was hosted at Doc Rampage. Meanwhile, if you want to see links all of them, try this page. Today, I broke a rule and included two entries of my own. I try not to include more than one entry per person, but I'm lenient when there are less than ten entries overall. In any case, here we have a total of seven stories, with, I think, a higher average word count than usual.
...And Two Socks
by Queenie of Rolling My Eyes
A 429 word brief story rated G.
Socks. Lots of socks.
[Like most of Queenie's stories, this is funny, short, and sweet.-DSC]
Breaking and entering
by Donald S. Crankshaw of Back of the Envelope
A 709 word non-fiction brief story rated G.
"So I broke into my sister's home the other day. I bet this has happened to you."
A Meating of Mines, scene ii (Beginning of the story)
by Dave Gudeman of Doc Rampage
The next 1,414 words of a 2,737 word story in progress, rated PG.
Rolf and Zantar meet Loan the Ranger and discuss debate points.
[Doc's sense of humor is always fun. His original idea was to turn these screenplays into a computer animated show based on a computer game engine. Any enterprising soul interested in giving it a try? -DSC]
Welcome to the Pack
by Andrew Ian Dodge of Dodgeblogium
A 3,136 word short story rated PG-13.
Parks in London are not just for the priveledged and the drunks...some of them hide interesting secrets. Have you ever wondered why many have high shrubbery so you can't see in?
A Brief Respite, Chapter 3 of the nameless story (Beginning of the story)
by Donald S. Crankshaw of Back of the Envelope
The next 3,601 words of a 9,799 word story in progress, rated PG.
Having made it to relative safety, Ryan quizzes Emily to figure out whether she knows what's going on and, more importantly, exactly how crazy she is.
Cast Out
by Robin Jones of Beyond Salvage
A 5,652 short story rated R.
A cuckold comes to terms with life after betrayal.
[The psychologist in this story is one of those characters you love to hate. I like the protagonist, though.-DSC]
The Child (Parts 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) (Beginning of the story)
by Sheya Joie of Tales by Sheya.
The next 6,032 words of a 6,413 word story in progress, rated PG.
She could not remember her past - how she came to be in this house under the Mountain of Spices, where she was resting and growing and healing. The Master, she was told, had brought her here. But who was he? And when would he return for her?
And why did the one taking care of her shine with an unearthly light?
[We had a bit of trouble figuring out how to navigate this story, and we eventually figured I'd just post links to each part of the submission, 2 through 9. I recommend you just go to part 2 and navigate through using the links at the bottom of each part. If you missed Part 1 (which was in the last carnival), you can find it here.-DSC]
I'll be hosting the next carnival, followed by Sheya Joie, and then Andrew Ian Dodge, assuming the scheduling works out. If you want to join the Storyblogging Carnival, send me an e-mail at dscrank-at-alum.mit.edu, or use the web comment feature.
