- Essay Writing Help Fri Feb 19 07:17:29 2021 (Review of The Road)
A few days ago, I observed by way of shock total display of lawlessness and ridiculous actions by truck drivers and I personally ask the question for my self : When will this irresponsibility, road violence and accidents end in our country? Several people look & feel the same way …

Yeah, not much happening except two jerks quoting Shakespeare at each other. Yeah. I’m sorry this wasn’t more exciting. Like I said, I considered combining this chapter with the next one for the sporking, but I had already taken way too long in getting this one out, so I figured I …

Tbh, I can predict the plot of the book already: Atticus gets into a couple of troubles which he disposes of without much effort because he’s so cool and so many deities respect and support him, and ultimately kills Thor because Atticus, unlike Thor, knows kung-fu well. During all this, …

Did you miss Atticus? Yes, but unly cause authorial fiat redirected the bullet. So we begin with Leif launching himself into Atticus’s front yard with his fangs out, which is apparently not very noticeable in this suburban neighborhood, but okay. Everyone was out grabbing a coffee, so no one was there to see …

Yeah, not much happening except two jerks quoting Shakespeare at each other.

Hmm. I am not sure if I’d say it is a deconstruction or parody, but Goblin Quest would also be a good example of fantasy done differently. … adds new title to list Hmm. I have only read the prequel/book 0. I thought it was kinda ok (but not great) and didn’t …

That sounds honestly more like a basic deconstruction (albeit a clumsy and not terribly intelligent one) of the “Chosen One” story, not a white male power fantasy. And yes, while there’s a lot of overlap between the two kinds of stories, they can also be mutually exclusive. Though I’m not …

The book is Kill the Farm Boy if you’re interested. It starts with a farm boy being told he needs to go on a quest because he’s called to a great destiny, so he goes with his magic goat and then gets killed early on, and the rest of the …

Eh, not a very good comparison. Maradonia was obvious vanity project that only got traction among caustic critics and never had real chance to reach wide audience. Whatever faults of Atticus as character and story as a whole, Hearne is actually pretty successful, up to the point of his books actually …
- The Smith of Lies Thu Jan 7 11:49:34 2021 (Hexed Sporking, Chapter 1: Ghost of Christmas Sporking)
I just checked too! I am curious, so I might check it out soon; though again, with a full time job now, I don’t have quite as much time to read as I used to. Upon further investigation, the translation might be only of one or two stories, since Amazon page …
- Juracan Thu Jan 7 07:34:45 2021 (Hexed Sporking, Chapter 1: Ghost of Christmas Sporking)
I can provide it, but I don’t think it was ever translated into English. Kłamca (literally Liar) by Jakub Ćwiek. It is actually where my username comes from. Just as I feared! Oh well. But that’s cool, it being where you got your username and all. Well, that still falls under the same …

Ok, I guess I got an egg on my face. Just after posting the previous comment I checked out of curiosity… I give you Loki – the Liar A word of warning – I remember it as good, but it was back in high school. I have since then revisited and …

FIRST: I want the name of this anthology. Now. I can provide it, but I don’t think it was ever translated into English. Kłamca (literally Liar) by Jakub Ćwiek. It is actually where my username comes from. I saw on TV Tropes (but without citation, so maybe take with a grain of …

Oh, sidenote, I am now in possession of a semi-quasi-legal copy of Hounded that I downloaded online for free. So now I can follow along with what’s happening and stop shaming myself by checking it out at the library. Hm. Well I did get the Kindle book because I thought constantly …

I am loving the fact that this spork is getting so much traffic! Reminds me of the good old times of Impish Idea [sheds a single tear]. Aw, man, those were the days, amirite? If it were within my power, I’d have promoted so many people to staff writers, but sadly …

I am loving the fact that this spork is getting so much traffic! Reminds me of the good old times of Impish Idea [sheds a single tear]. [Juracan] Yeah, see, this is how it works in Sue universes, isn’t it? All the gods were just waiting around doing nothing until Atticus …
- Juracan Tue Jan 5 23:20:06 2021 (Hexed Sporking, Chapter 1: Ghost of Christmas Sporking)
Happy New Year! To you as well! The narrative seems to be treating this as if Atticus won the lottery. Do gods get killed so often that ‘godslayer’ term life policies would be a thing, something to base a business on? I don’t know! Again, it’s just thrown at us without any context …

Hell, a terrible person who is aware of their shortcomings can be quite likeable (at least from the distance). Yes, that is me shilling for Flashman again. I mean, I first thought of (pre-character development) Belkar Bitterleaf. But I suspected you might go with Flashman. ;) Flashman is a piece of shit, …
