James Maxwell 🔪 Witching Metal Prod.

Our latest call is now wrapped! Big thanks to @cterlson for editing and curating this call! Stay tuned around June for the next one!

“My name is Trent Trent, and I’m a Time Adjuster.” “So, what do I call you?” “Trent Trent.” “But which one?” “Which what?” he asked. “Which Trent, the first or the second?” Love the absurdism of @KennethMGRAY2. Samuel Beckett, eat your heart out.

@mattxweltner But if their "name day" is when they turn one, it wouldn't make sense for "first name day" to be when they turn 2 like we do with birthdays. It's not like we say "second birthday" when a baby turns 1 yead old

One of my un-supported headcanon/copes is that Westerosi don’t name their kids until a year after birth, so all the 13 year olds are really 14.

@RegalRhetoric I'm pretty sure Sarah J. Maas is on record saying she pulled Hand of the King from ASOIAF, thinking it was a historical title lop

Judging by all the comments, y'all have clearly never heard the term right hand. Eg. The trusted right hand of the king. It's just a fancy way of saying advisor. It's nothing GRRM would get up in arms about

The authors in this series took a wonderfully unhinged prompt and turned it into thirteen absolutely incredible stories! Oh and mine was in there, too 😂 Vote for your faves and thanks @PistolJimPress and @cterlson for this!

The fact this is verbatim from the book😭😭😭😭😭

@girldrawsghosts might have to steal Lee Grinner as a character name, it's top notch

A delight to be a part of this.

That's a wrap for TIME IS A DOG'S BREAKFAST! api.omarshehata.me/substack-proxy…

Great finish, Jared! This whole series was a blast of fun!

Why I chose this: When I first read this I had no idea the writer had done other stories that featured a Duck. At first I thought it was a typo. But then the story started to flip and spin in the most fascinating way. It was Douglas Adams snorting Burroughs’s stash. It also started to make sense. Infinite time lines and possibilities. On the edge of losing my mind as I reached the end of the story… have I gone mad or am I just back in a pond? Freshest piece of fiction I’ve read in some time. Accepted with zero notes. “Each of these bullets travel through the waterfall of possibilities, trace toward the man, through the man, past the man, and out the other side. Paradoxical bullets flutter and thread forward, collapse into a particular moment, and concur that something, somehow, happened.”

These stories are just the best.

So you can buy my first novel, THAT OCTOBER, almost everywhere: $24 from Amazon, $22.37 from Bookshop, etc. (The ebook is $6.99 on Kindle.) But if you could order a signed copy of the limited first-run, would you be interested? Let me know. If there's enough interest, I might.

THE DRAMA is maybe one of my most minimal scores I have done. Entire soundtrack was recorded on just three flutes at @AbbeyRoad in one day. Really enjoyed the process of those types of restrictions as they can help create a more original and unique sounding score..

Grand story here by @jaredleys ! Glad we FINALLY got some ducks in the mix!

Doing my happy dance. At home. In the dark. In my pjs.

People whose whole thing is like I'm bitchy and mean. Cool I'm happy for you I want you as far away from me as possible though

I have a special affection in my heart for horror movies that had a great concept and terrible execution. Here’s is a thread of a couple that squandered amazing ideas.

For today’s Pistol Jim (the last one from me), I’m thinking ducks.
