That is so cool!
Speaking of old LJ stuff I was looking through for other old writing bits and found 3 lil microfiction art/writing hybrids from The Archives of the Ahistorical Society that I'd totally forgotten about. Have you ever thought of going back to LJ and reposting stuff somewhere else?

I seem to remember something about white British ninjas not being the most culturally sensitive of ideas?

Holy shirtballs, I was just remembering the Regency Ninja/Druid posts again while making the retrospective, was thinking of trying to hunt down the old LJ posts for a fun reread, but it's actually still alive??

I wanted to call it Camp Jackalope but they thought kids wouldn’t know what a jackalope was.

I think this one is sadly permanently abandoned, though, since iirc Ursula said she didn't want to have to write the horrible tedious middle bit she knew came next in the story

Well, y'all were so nice and encouraging about the rough draft on Nanowrimo, so...err...have a chunk of rough. I don't know if it works. It may be insipid or dreadfully cliche. The problem is that Myr...

I adored the non sequitur lil paintings - I had a Balthazar Disdains the Lemon tshirt I wore until it wore out.
My current DnD character is an elderly half-orc barbarian who is largely inspired by this piece (with a healthy dose of Nanny Ogg in there too)

A few are on her old deviantArt account, others on the old livejournal (both as UrsulaV). Cryptic Stitchings was a video game, The Book of the Gear a different livejournal, and Hidden Almanac is a (now finished) podcast you can still listen to

The old deviantArt days! That's where I first saw Ursula's stuff too! With all the wonderful descriptions on the art - I would buy a hybrid art book/microfiction anthology in a heartbeat. I think my fav of the art stories is Glibmark's Reclamation

The 1950 pickup truck that's over 100 years old gives a lower bound at least =P
I did wanna ask, what made you decide to set this one in the near future rather than present?

I know! I'm hoping with the Nine Goblins reprint next year there'll be enough renewed interest to mebbe get it going again

Gods, yes - I was on my semester abroad in Australia junior year of undergrad and would try to hit up internet cafes when in cities so I could catch up with the comic (I missed a lot of the first Boneclaw Mother scenes cause we were camping in the bush, lol)

Hope y'all had a fun walk down memory lane, or perhaps learned of some older books by this fabulous author you didn't know of before. Maybe see you back here for the 100th book retrospective (which at the pace Ursula's been writing should be in just few years at this rate =P )

Irrational Fears
Elf vs Orc
Barbarian Gynecologist
Nameless Sheep
The Book of the Gear
Cryptic Stitchings
Little Creature
The Hidden Almanac
plus enough short stories to fill out another anthology or two, and probably many others I’m forgetting

And that's it for Ursula Vernon/ @tkingfisher.com's currently published books of fiction! I believe there are at least two new books (Wolf Worm and Daggerbound) scheduled to come out next year (plus the Nine Goblins reprint, and maybe the next Paladin book)

Book 50: Snake-Eater. And here we are at book 50! To get out of a difficult relationship a woman moves out to a small desert town, only to run into some trouble with a local god. Who wants to be (also very reasonably) scared of roadrunners?
