ONLINE SHORT STORIES
The fiction content of this site falls into various categories:
Microfiction – very short stories (usually six words or 140 characters long), originally posted on Twitter.
Republished contributions to anthologies – both professional and semi-professional, paper and online:
- ‘Scapegoat’, from Emerge (2003).
- ‘Tithonus Unbound’, from Unbound Freedom (2004).
- ‘Scribonia’ and ‘Neath’, from Blind Atlas (2006).
Short stories using elements from my published fiction, and published here as online extras:
- ‘Making a Collection’ (2007), featuring elements from Nobody’s Children and Collected Works.
- ‘Unification Theory’ (2008), featuring characters from The Vampire Curse in the setting of Of the City of the Saved....
Christmas-themed short stories sent out with my Christmas cards (and generally archived a year in arrears, to maintain personal exclusiveness for family and friends):
- ‘Blitzenkrieg’ (Christmas 2008).
- ‘Polarity’ (Christmas 2007).
- ‘Sol Invictus’ (Christmas 2006).
Fiction originally posted to my blog, Peculiar Times:
- ‘A Lucid Episode’ (March 2004)
- ‘A Historian Writes...’ (November 2004)
- ‘Dave @1I8Σπ’: A Romance of the Year 2006 (November 2006)
Miscellaneous non-prose:
- ‘Contrathalamion’ (2008), my only recent poem, written for a wedding.
- My contribution of text to an artwork entitled A Quantum of Sol (Rising Sun) (2008).
Finally (and archived separately for reasons of possibly misplaced professional pride), some of my early work, including two fan-published Doctor Who short stories.
