I always enjoy these. Thanks for hosting!

Nothing super recent to pitch, unless you're an agent looking for some cool sci-fi :)

Pele was a partial inspiration for the creation myth of my fire elementals. The "Mother Below" created a lover out of molten lava and then gave them life with the magic of a fallen star. She controls the eruptions and lava flows in the country of Calor.

A curiously conversant troll discusses the nature of his species in my WIP, "Oath and Memory." #SffChat

“Of course,” Phaedo said, “I was not born at all, for we trolls do not bear young, except if you count the supplementary selves we carry. No, like the rest of my kind, I was made by the elves in age past, as a beast of war. We have a deep hunger, trolls, that overwhelms all thought. We cannot resist the urge to feed…all the stronger if the meat still lives, though in fact we do not require the sustenance.” He yawned, showing the gape of his outsized jaws and his rows of teeth. The gesture was as illustrative as it was unintentional. “What they would do is drop us out of the air in cages, from some kind of huge birds,” Phaedo went on. He was becoming animated now, as if describing a fascinating historical episode, rather than a collection of atrocities in which he had participated. “Naturally, some of us would be destroyed entirely by the fall, but others, such as I, recovered enough to wreak havoc on the enemies of the elves. We would be recaptured if whatever unfortunate bastion we descended upon was taken. I believe my last…assignment, so to speak, was in the Draegar city of Vazed’gar.”

The biggest believers are from my short stories.
Drifting Waves has James trying to convince the narrator, Eli, about his encounter with the siren.
The Deeper We Go has the main character, Ashley trying to prove the creature her dad encountered exists.

A bit of conversation about the husk: #SFFChat

“Something’s changed though. More activity and more husks.” “Husks?” Jordan asked. Meeco shrugged. “We’re not sure what they are. By all appearances they’re human with super strength and stamina, but they could be intricate robots.”

#SFFChat Q4:

Here's a sneak peak from For One Night Only, featuring Raccoon Lady!

Inherent, general *SPOILERS* for TETK

Josh ignores me. He’s got pages of material so far—a whole conspiracy board on the episode’s monster-of-the-week. “She’s freakishly tall, but no one’s ever seen her face.” He sucks his teeth. “Well. No. Not never seen her face, but people don’t remember her face after they see it. It’s like this blank space man, in people’s memories. They know they saw a face, but something about her makes them not able to remember. And her legs are like . . . broken, or bent the wrong way. She has these hands that are so burned-up they’re black as charcoal and they look like claws, almost like little—” “Raccoon hands?” I offer. “How’d you know?” asks Josh. It’s depressingly genuine. “Reading comprehension.” “Josh isn’t lying,” says Greg. Christ. “I’m not saying he’s lying. It’s just obviously something terrible that probably got twisted till it resembled this . . . bullshit.” And besides, if I started to believe in Josh’s weird little beasties, our show would lose its schtick. “Fun bullshit, but bullshit.” Besides which, the bent legs, black hands, and impressive stature make her sound like every ghost or monster out of post-Ringu horror cinema. It’s an image so ubiquitous at this point it’s ceased to be frightening. “People leave stuff outside their houses for her,” Josh adds. “Cause if you don’t she’ll get you. Burn your house down.” Shonda jerks upright and twists round. “Wait. Burns houses down? Like the Constance house?” Greg stares at her, aghast. “They don’t care about all that. The Constance house was just an accident.” - For One Night Only, Steve Hugh Westenra

#SFFChat Q4. Speaking of the elbhyr, this is a nice one, I think:

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms

And then the “human” shed its stolen skin, baring its true, savage nature as it slaughtered the scholars. An elbhyr. Kitana still remembered the nursery rhyme that seedling-sitters loved to scare children with. In moonless gardens, the purple-eyed With gracious tongue, inspire your pride. A glamorous smile, a coveted prize Beware the curse in disguise. Leave not, seedling, the forest of your kind Or within your heart, a place they will find. Your voice they crave, and your name and your skin For among us to walk as if they were kin. Hold to your chest close The gift of the primrose And do not, seedling, surrender to pride Or to the Hells you shall go with the purple-eyed. Mileena used to like it, while Kitana always thought it silly. But it was a different story when the tales trespassed into reality.

The cult community is set up on the idea they are the last pure humans. So yeah, collectively they believe it, though there are skeptics which gets into the plot :)

From one of my horror short stories in space called The Hive.
No one wants to meet one of these in the dark.

Shlurp shlurp. The wet slimy glob writhes through the doorway. I close my eyes tight. It's a drone. Thinking about them makes me shiver.

At the moment, it's just because he's into that sort of thing.

However, once I figure out more of his life history, there's a chance of some kind of incident in his life taking place that is the origin of his beliefs. 😁

#SFFChat Q4:
The intro to chapter 17 of Serenity. My favorite creature, and yes Dane named it "horse" in French lol

Under the cover of night, Danenth rode towards Flamehaven. Inside the caves lay treasure, and Dane wasn't one to pass up more wealth. Cheval, his serix, carried him without strain. He’d bought the skeletal stag off a sailor who couldn’t afford to feed and board him anymore, and it had been one of the best purchases Dane ever made. He loved the beast, more than any horse he’d ever met. Cheval was strong and sturdy despite his skeletal appearance. Brown skin hung off his bones, displaying the muscle beneath. His form was dilapidated, deteriorating beyond repair. Yet Cheval ran at near-top speed since the Wengther crossroad, and he only slowed when the ground became uneven. Dane hunkered low on the beast, ready to tuck and roll should Cheval lose his footing. The mountain went up, jagged and steep. Then down into a canyon far below. Cheval had a harder time climbing down than he had going up, but they arrived without any injuries.

Content warning: dark magic, torture witnessed by a child

Tristan realized the stories were true. This was real power—this was the Grey. His mother’s face contorted as her breath gave out. Still, she silently screamed. His sisters sobbed in the corner, and his father begged and pleaded. The mage raised his left hand, and Tristan’s father stopped begging and began roaring out in pain. The stranger had called this ‘mercy.’ If this was mercy, how did they define torture? From his spot, Tristan couldn’t see his father’s face, but his mother’s was all too clear. Blood streamed from her nose, and her face began turning from red to purple. Sweat formed on her brow, and a drop of something wet fell between the floorboards and landed on Tristan’s hand. He wasn’t sure if it was sweat or blood, and he didn’t look down to find out.

In THOSE WHO SPEAK FOR GOD, the religious cult we meet at the beginning, tells tales of "husks" - half machine / half human hybrids who's minds have been subsumed by AI.

They are technically correct, the best kind of correct! #SFFChat

Hi, Im Ron!
As for my favorite urban legend it has to be the story of La Llorona. I dont recall if I was told the story by my mother or grandfather, but it was the scariest story I was ever told as a kid.

Welp, since I brought up the baby griffin already...

#SFFChat

"So, it's a bunch of winter trappers? What's wrong?" Liam was about to walk away when Codie grabbed his arm and shoved a pair of binoculars into his hands. Looking through them, Liam finally saw what had angered Codie. To one side of the camp, a dead mountain griffin had its limbs attached to a large stick. It was obvious the trappers planned on taking their haul back to Hozar and harvest its parts. However, it was the thing next to the corpse that drove home the point. The griffin's cub. Trapped in a cage. Screaming at its parent to wake back up. It wasn't certain what would happen to the griffin cub, but the odds of it finding a happy ending at its next destination were quite small.
