OK, i keep missing these <.<
no errors found in blackglass, a nice little story but if it has a point, it is lost on me right now due to sleep deprivation i am afraid x.x
i like your spirit shorts, but i found one error in this one:
vast thing wings < = i guess you meant thin.
and vast . . well, as vast as a 10cm phoenix can manage i guess ^^
i don't get the last line of the punchline, but it's probably what our society is graudally steering towards i guess . .
printing/type setting can lead to errors such as this one:"1427 when the Triple Alliance was formed, over forty villages were engaged in papermaking as part of the Aztec Empire by 1427"
Another error:" if not with the conquest of Tenochtitlan than with the spread of disease among the Aztec trade routes and path of Spanish conquest and conversion" then, not than please
the story itself is good and interesting too.
Wonder if somebody will cite this in a thesis or something too ^^
an unexploded copy of the book of the mad arab without a surname?
this smells very much like hellboy. i like it o.O
yay for more no nonsense iven task!
first error found:"hough most mornings the one-armed near-human would lay awake of mornings," no no no
"and the mossy sprigs felt back" < = fell, not felt
"Their came a sound like an electrical discharge" also quite no!
i still love the task character, even if i do not like prequel stuff much.
and E.T a massmurderer? priceless! and oh so fitting too x.x
No such a wicked woman after all.
And not an error to be found with my eyes right now either.
Interesting Character-Piece?

I can fix that.i like your spirit shorts, but i found one error in this one:

Another disappointment. It's the punchline to "the Aristocrats," a classic sort of joke for-comedians-by-comedians.i don't get the last line of the punchline, but it's probably what our society is graudally steering towards i guess . .
I can fix those. I actually wanted to go a bit further, but it felt long as it was.printing/type setting can lead to errors such as this one:"1427 when the Triple Alliance was formed, over forty villages were engaged in papermaking as part of the Aztec Empire by 1427"

y u disappoint? ._.
also, isn't the trask things right now just after he had lost his arm as a young fool before he got his artificial one and became an old fool? so this is like a prequel to the character . . or flashbacks but these would be intermitted into stories in the time where he has his metal claw with the light sabre wolverine claw in it i guess . .
i actually did not manage to squeeze the last story into my workday i am afraid.

A Piece of Art this wasn't, but it will probably go nicely with your other cthhulhu stuff that people actually use for research it seems ^^
also:"A plastic blow-up doll hands on the wall" hangs, otherwise no errors to be found in this one.

"The human's left arm and was long gone"Yet another Eiven Task episode: http://www.the-unpublishable.com/2014/0 ... abers.html
does not compute? O.o
"Eiven vision"
he, she, it, s must fit
"playing and replay the battle-to-come from every angle"
this looks gramatically wrong to me somehow.
"'walking ahead of each step, bring his blade up to catch of the blasts as he could"
no time jumps!
"a slim human woman with filed teeth held up both her hands as came in for the killing blow"
who or what?
you also forgot the n in dantooine . . and why is there a big fat large ocean there in the first place? isn't dantooine the desert planet where luke grew up?
"These quotes have been compared from several sources"Lazy Friday on the Unpublishable! http://www.the-unpublishable.com/2014/0 ... succo.html
not compiled?
and what was supposed to be lazy about this?
""Haiyore! Hasuta-san" by Ken Asamatsu looks at the development of Hastur in Japanese interpretations, focusing primarily on the bisexual love-triangle that develops in the light novel/OVA series Haiyore! Nyaruku-san between the characters of Nyaruko (Nyarlathotep), Mahiro, and Hasuta (Hastur). Illustrated with sample pages from the shota doujinshi starring those characters."Just a bit of fun on the Unpublishable tonight: "Introduction to The Hastur Mythos."
http://www.the-unpublishable.com/2014/0 ... ythos.html
*snickers*
i actually watched that series ^^
no typo or grammatical weirdness to be found, but i guess i just don't know enough about the mythos to really judge this entry.
elbonia? really? o.O and dogbert was actually the leader? *snickers* ^^Today on the Unpublishable: "Adam's Ruritania" http://www.the-unpublishable.com/2014/0 ... tania.html
"all others are have the same value as livestock"
can't tell if that was on purpose O.o
i don't get the title reference though
*looks at story length* that one got away from you in one direction and came back from the other side eh?http://www.the-unpublishable.com/2014/0 ... saber.html
Another Eiven Task story. This one kind of got away from me, but it's build up for the /next/ story.
is that still from the mass fight of the last story, or why is he suddenly again gripping the hilt of that force sabre?
"prosthetic organs to replace those damage or lost when he had been dissected"
the damage wants the d!
"Don't worry," the brown alien said, mopping Task's brow with a wet rag. "Reaper calling home."
i still think this is genius ^^
"but at her hilt was a curve-hilted grey-metal lightsaber"
i guess you meant to write hip there, not hilt
"Taskclenched and unclenched his stiff right hand."
the first word needs to be two words
"and he made the mistake of staring for too long before he realized she probably didn't blink"
*snickers*
"She called herself Droideyes"
really? bit unimaginative don't you think? O.o
"Datooine"
n missing again
and again
i still love this character.
it's basically wolverine in star wars!

Dantooine
Klatooine
"Ruritania" was a generic placeholder in English literature for rustic, underdeveloped foreign countries - usually in Europe, and later in Eastern Europe. The creator of Dilbert is, of course, Scott Adams. So Elbonia is Adams' Ruritaniai don't get the title reference though
Mass fight.is that still from the mass fight of the last story, or why is he suddenly again gripping the hilt of that force sabre?
It seemed appropriate."Don't worry," the brown alien said, mopping Task's brow with a wet rag. "Reaper calling home."
i still think this is genius ^^
If the shoe fits...and she probably doesn't want him to know her real name."and he made the mistake of staring for too long before he realized she probably didn't blink"
*snickers*
"She called herself Droideyes"
really? bit unimaginative don't you think? O.o
They have some differences. Next story will be a more reasonable length, for some reason this one turned into a hideous exposition-fest.i still love this character.
it's basically wolverine in star wars!
I'll fix the rest at some point.

It's a...very elaborate and multi-layered joke. Back in the '70s the science-fiction author Philip José Farmer created a "biography" of Tarzan which at once presented a unified chronology of Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan stories, was a fictional biography of Tarzan as if he was a living (if extraordinary) person, and in the appendices expanded Tarzan's family tree to incorporate many of the other great detectives and pulp heroes of the era, such as Sherlock Holmes, the Shadow, Nero Wolfe, etc. in the "Wold Newton" family tree - you can look it up on the internet. So this small addendum ties Lovecraft into that family tree, referring to various pieces of real scholarship and fiction involving Lovecraft to fill it out, and then it ties Arthur Jermyn back into Tarzan.
