Storyblogging Carnival XII
Welcome to the twelfth Storyblogging Carnival. I hope you've enjoyed our Carnivals so far, and that you'll keep coming, and consider participating. And now, on with the stories:


Non-Automated Biography
by cbeck of Feeding the Habit
A 209 word brief story rated PG.

For a young man, the curve of a soft neck, the smell of her air, it all eludes the immediate understanding.


The Prologue of Fire
by Donald S. Crankshaw of Back of the Envelope
A 1,412 word excerpt of a 90,111 word novel.

The spectators to what seems to be an ordinary event are most decidedly not ordinary.


aliens
by Dave Gudeman of Doc Rampage
A 1,684 word short story rated PG.

Old-style, hi-tech, sci-fi adventure. Short form.

[The frantic pace reminds me of some computer games I've played. -DSC]


A Little Vanity
by Wichidude of Storyman
A 2,090 word short story rated PG-13.

Technology changes, even for the oldest of things. Yet, there is always a little vanity and pride involved in a job well done. Some things change, others remain the same. No matter what you get hit with.

[This one is oddly appropriate for Valentine's Day. -DSC]


Chapters 32 through 34 of The Child (Beginning)
by Sheya Joie of Tales by Sheya
The next 2,739 words of a 27,019 word novella in progress rated PG.

They have been chosen; now, they must make ready to go. And that can be more dangerous than it looks at first.


A Sinking Feeling
by Andrew Ian Dodge of Dodgeblogium
A 4,500 word short story rated PG.

It's called a sinking feeling and it involves Cthulhu & his minions...


Thanks for coming by. If you'd like to join the Storyblogging Carnival e-mail list, just drop me a line.

Storyblogging Carnival XI
The eleventh Storyblogging Carnival is now up at Tales by Sheya. Check it out. I will be hosting the next storyblogging carnival myself. After that it will be the thirteenth carnival, which, since the Carnival is every two weeks, puts us at the half-year mark. Time sure flies, doesn't it?
