The Unpublishable

I'm going to have a hard time smothering my snickers when I hear someone mention troubles talking with children. It made me think of my oldest son except for the administrator. And the other bits.

I will admit I never have any idea which stories are going to resonate with people and which will be ignored. Some of the stuff I consider my worst and most hackneyed is the most well-regarded, and some of the stuff I consider my best goes up without comment. It has nothing to do with how much time or effort I put into the idea, plotting, or writing. I was going to write this one up last week but my Spanish fortune teller wanted a happier story.

That was uncomfortably sweet somehow O.o

I know, right? My test subject said it made her sad. I will never understand women.

kinda reminds me a bit about the short bit of fiction about the ghoul wife and husband in one of the shadowrun books . .

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:20 pm

Ugh, are you talking about Psychotrope?

Well I'm a guy but that story definitely made me a bit sad as well.

uhm . . no . . that was a novel where a ghoul had a normal wife who then gave birth to a ghoul baby which promptly bit her in the tit . .

i was talking about a one or two Din A4 pages short piece of fiction in one of the rule books . .

Ghoul-husband can still rationally think, acts like a frigging british gentleman while he and his mindless ravenous (american? *runs*) wife are eating a corpse in the sewers and stays with her to the end, when an extermination patrol comes around and she won't leave the corpse there . .

Hmm. Not ringing any bells.

Now on the Unpublishable, something guaranteed to offend someone. "The Racist." NSFW. http://www.the-unpublishable.com/2012/04/racist.html

Maybe it's because i am german, but i don't see anything offending in there O.o

"“Some people might say that I fired Andy because "

I think that was supposed to be Art, not Andy.

[edit: unless that was an unintentional slip of the tongue by the speaker...]

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 5:34 pm

No, that would be an oops.

Stahl: Some people might take offense to the racial and gender slurs and stereotypes. Not entirely sure what the German equivalents would be.

Stahlseele · Post by **Stahlseele** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 5:59 pm

Kaffer < = for example.
But somehow, stuff like that does not get too much of a reaction anywhere . .
Well, aside from those "cool" street toughs maybe . .

This was marvelous - a precision-tuned slice of thought, disquieting without being disturbing.

Ach, quitcher bellyachin'. You get what you pay for.

Not quite.
I get more than i pay for in your case.
The Hexslingers reminds me of Deadlands a bit.
I really like that short story.

I only kind of understand it... was Andy a racist?

RiotGearEpsilon · Post by **RiotGearEpsilon** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 3:54 am

Andy thinks Omar is a cocksucking c(word)-eyed Christ-killing halfbreed n(word)-kyke fa(word)got.

But he will not say that. Because that isn't okay.
