Just added to our archives: Karen Roberts reads an excerpt from her short story, “Making Strings.” It’ll make you think your awkward teen years were walk in the park.

And now Rina Slayter reads the riotous opening chapter from her novel “Otherness:Rift.” Note: contains naughty words and stupid, stupid boyfriends.

Slowly, but surely, we’re getting stuff uploaded from our reading at Loscon 32. Here’s Rick Waldholm with an excerpt from his novella, “A Miracle Every Day.” You’ll never think about familial relations and monetary policy in the same way again.

So, we did our reading thing at Loscon on Saturday. I’d hoped for a dozen people; we got eleven, but I’ll take it. That’s a few more people who haven’t heard us before, and only a few of them left before we were done. What the hell.

The entire reading will be up on the Fictionados site as soon as we’re done rebuilding it, but here’s the bit I did. It’s from “The Right People,” the novella about high school politics I wrote earlier this year. I’ll probably start podcasting it as soon as I finish turning it into a full-blown novel, but I think this part’s good as is. It has the naughty words, so don’t go crying to me if you have nightmares about furries.
By the way, I’ve now put PlayTagger into the site’s template, so you can listen to mp3s without monkeying around with the downloading and such. Enjoy!
