Something I’ve been planning to do for a while, now:

Perhaps you’ve been reading my blog, and wonder who I am/why I think I’m all that (ha, ha). Since the only samples of my writing you’ve seen are those smutty, copyright-infringing ones I give away intermittently, maybe you’d even like to read something a bit more…authentic. Thus—

A Brief Guide to Gemma Files’ Original Writing, As Accessible on Tha Intranetz (Oldest Stuff First)
Excerpts from “Hidebound”, in TransVersions #5, here (http://www.transversions.com/issue5.html).
Excerpts from “Torch Song”, in TransVersions #8/9, here (http://www.transversions.com/issue8.html).
“Pretend That We’re Dead”, in The Three-Lobed Burning Eye #7, here (http://www.owlsoup.com/3LBE/issue7/3lbe7_story1.html).
“Villa Locusta”, in The Harrow, here (http://www.theharrow.com/journal/index.php?journal=journal&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=2025&path%5B%5D=474).
Download entire text of “Landscape with Maps & Legends: Dead Voices on Air” in .pdf form here, as part of Suspect Thoughts #17 (http://www.suspectthoughts.com/journal/suspect%20thoughts%20journal%2017.pdf).
Dowload entire text of “Spectral Evidence”, ChiZine Leisure Books Short Story Contest-winner for 2006, in .pdf form here (http://chizine.com/c-stc12.htm).(Edited to amend: This no longer seems to be available...if it is, please show me where, and I'll revise. Too bad.)

Also found, while searching: A nice (if short) new review of Words Written Backwards, here (http://www.shebytches.com/lipstikbooks.html). Score!

Well.
If I wasn't intimidated before, I certainly am now. You definitely have a gift!

You gotta get "A Single Shadow Make" up out here somewhere. You know that story floors everyone who reads it...

From: [personal profile] baggyeyes
Reading stuff like that makes me go, 'hang up the keyboard and put away the little box of ideas - there's no way I can come up with worlds like that.'

Usually that happens when I've just put my mostly dead G4 to permanent sleep, and my car decided to break down. :(

I still love the creepy, disgusting, yet strangely compelling Kissing Carrion. Maybe that inspired Rosa.
