More Jet Pack Fiction from Wood Ingham
Robot Viking comrade Wood Ingham and his fellow writers over at Jet Pack have been steadily filling the world with intense bursts of strange fiction, and Wood’s latest, “So I caught up with Dennis,” is no exception (though it is, to be sure, quite exceptional).
“So I caught up with Dennis” is not the type of story susceptible to a one sentence description, so you’ll have to take my word for it (until you read it yourself) that it’s good and creepy (and was written for Halloween, and it is only my fault I am so late in pointing it out). Wood himself described it as a ghost story, and I’ll leave it at that. It’s not game-related, other than that Wood and his fellow Jet Packers spend a fair amount of time writing for gaming books, which is good enough for me.
I’ve been considering opening Robot Viking up to fiction submissions, actually. There should be a full official post about it at some point, but hypothetically speaking, if I started publishing short stories or serial fiction, is there an interested readership, and authors interested in submitting? The only real limit would be genre (it should have a sci-fi, fantasy, horror or otherwise “weird” angle to it). A specific gaming connection wouldn’t be needed. Let’s knock the idea around in the comments and see if it has merit, shall we?

You are too kind.
I do like the picture you have there. So appropriate and suggestive.

I had to crop it aggressively to as not to give anything away. I wonder if anyone can guess where it came from.

Nope I don’t recognize it though it does look like teeth.
I am a fan of the idea of publishing fiction at the Viking! Huzzah!
