I don’t like their odds

A comic where an armored man says “come, men!” He raises his sword, yelling “let us defy the odds!” His army bellows a war cry, facing an army that marches under the banners 1, 15, and 317

My strange, hopeful little story is out for Banned Books Week--as long as there are books, there will be Readers! I hope you check it out!

I think the closest I've come to that so far is that when I started writing THE LORD OF THE WOOD, Charlotte was a few years older than me, but by the time of publication she was only a year older than me 😂 otherwise I've never caught up yet!

REALLY DAMN GOOD LET ME TELL YOU

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:43 AM

thank you this is extremely exciting on both counts 😂

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:42 AM

actually me finishing the story was going FINISHED in a server in which I'd made a deeply inappropriate edging joke not two hours before, so that's. uh. well,

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:42 AM

LITERALLY ACTUALLY ME FINISHING THE STORY

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:42 AM

mmmmmm 😌

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:41 AM

I love this!!

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:40 AM

side note, if only the world were really only ending as much as it was when I was 13 😅

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:40 AM

I'm the odd one out, the first story the big danger was an outlaw who came to take some ponies and then tried to kill the protags when they were like "um no" and the second story did admittedly involve a war (between 2 countries) but it was mostly the backdrop for the love story 😂

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:38 AM

omg I love him 🥺

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:37 AM

...well that's,,,,,,,,,,

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:36 AM

omg I'd be so here for it

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:36 AM

big deal both because I actually finished a short story (and so fast) AND because it's a svelte 3500 words, instead of the last one where I had an actual maximum word count but blew past it and wound up with a novella lmfao

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:36 AM

oops sorry for vanishing from #LateNightWrite but I was LOCKED IN with the result that I finished a first draft of a short story for which I had the idea *yesterday* fuck yeah

@elizmanderson.comOct 11, 2026, 3:34 AM

for me the weird edgelord bit was 12yo E writing a character who's like "I can't be with you bc I love you but I feel trapped when I'm with you" which has me like "what the FUCK Baby E" bc Baby E was very much not even interested and hadn't had a crush yet so like. where the fuck did THAT come from
