A Short Story Is Mine!
Feb. 2nd, 2011 05:36 pmKiller-Kate and Luke Lackland: 360 words, of comradeship and Bonecold Refugee.
The Wave That Broke on the Ingerfell: A complete 2,400 word Kateverse short story! An earthy folk-tale from Cauldale of how Kit Fox tried to scam a penny bag of nails from somebody, and everything got completely out of hand. Chicken Little meets Rudyard Kipling for a story which reflects nothing that ever happened or nearly happened in the 'historical' Kateverse at all, except that Kit Fox happened to it.
I didn't foresee the actual climax of the story until just before I wrote it. This was just pure fun in motion, all the way through.
Very little redrafting needed. This I can handily do in time for International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day, to which The Wave That Broke on the Ingerfell is now scheduled as my contribution. I wondered what I was going to be able to whip up for that!
