#TimeTravelAuthors Oct 31:
Author's choice: a little snippet, from the raid on the Vatican -
“Come along!” Ninkasi had the clone by an arm.
The clone shrugged his shoulders and followed along. “You guys seem like a lot more fun than these bozos,” he complimented us.
“You have any idea who you are?” I inquired.
“Leave that to us!” the most important-smelling of the red-and-black tide before us instructed.“You know, there’s a question I’ve always wanted to ask one of you higher-ups…” I reminisced.
“We are under no obligation to answer your questions, foul…” he began.
I cut him short: “This Jesus of yours died and returned from the grave, is that right?” I guffawed a little.“You know it is!” He looked smug all of a sudden.
“So – doesn’t that count as his second coming? When he rose from the dead?” I asked.
“NO!” he cried aloud.
“How does that NOT count?” I demanded to know. “I mean – he came back from being all the way dead for DAYS!"A couple of the important-smelling guys huddled together briefly. One of them finally looked up and meekly informed me; “We weren’t counting then.”
I burst out laughing.
“Let’s get out of here, before I have to teach these pinche cabrones how to count to 2!” I suggested to my traveling companions. We all had a little chuckle over that.

the photo accompanying this article makes me wonder if Rapid Response just doesn't show up and kill homeless people in their camps, then carelessly load them in the trucks.
i wonder how many human body parts are to be found in Rapid Response's warehouse?

this is for anyone out there who doubts me when i say homeless people are being hunted down and murdered for sport in portland:
'Police said that while the ME is still waiting on toxicology tests, the remains don’t show specific injuries or “abnormalities.”'
human remains found in two locations, 15 blocks apart, were parts of the same person.
https://www.kptv.com/2026/10/21/remains-found-2-downtown-portland-locations-idd-man-38/
no abnormalities? how about the same person's remains were found in two different locations? is that not 'abnormal' in #portland anymore? isn't being torn into at least two pieces not somehow a 'specific' injury?
ME's office - 'well, this sort of thing just happens, you know?'

i guess i shouldn't claim to have invented much of this stuff - my characters are mostly gods and goddesses, and i try to be as true to their own stories as i can, while giving them new adventures and personalities.

#PennedPossibilities 1170:
Do any of your characters possess frightening or scary abilities?
the MC's two goddess daughters can navigate through time fairly easily.
Autonomia, because she cannot be bound by anything, not even time.
Savannah just hangs out with her half sister a lot and learns by osmosis. then again, she was the grim reaper as a teenager, and the reapers also dwell in Autonomia's Everywhen realm. that's how they are able to reap so many souls per diem.
the MC can also trip though time at will, eventually. but he tries not to do it any more than absolutely necessary. he's easily confused, and oftentimes finds himself in situations he does comprehend.
sometimes, reality shifts and changes around one while hanging out with the three of them, as they re-arrange the past to get rid of troublesome events or Beings.
the thing is - no one notices, or they would be terrified of them.
it's not uncommon to hear someone ask "what was that annoying...
whatever...it seems like something is missing, but it's okay, because it kinda sucked?"also - the gods and goddesses have terrifying aspects that pop up now and then, when they loose control.
like when Inanna went insane with grief and got all slaughtery.

What tiny detail about your world or a character will probably never matter to the plot, but you created it anyway?
the MC was once the scribe of Quetzalcoatl, but humans were not permitted to learn how to read and write, so Quetzalcoatl turned him into a rabbit.
he mentions it now and then, but no one seems to be interested.

The Democratic Party is being devoured by an ecosystem of consultants.
Fundraising costs gobble up most of the funds raised. Billions are spent on TV ads that have virtually no impact. Candidates may win or lose—but the consulting class always wins.

Democratic Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, offered those remarks at a Middle East Institute panel on Wednesday.
“I will just say this: Their plan is insane.... It will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law,” Murphy said. “There’s been open reporting as to what we may be planning, and the civilian infrastructure that we may be targeting.... They have been asked by the president to develop a plan. Whether they believe it will work or not, I do not know. But the plan that they have developed will lead, in my view, to a prolongment and an escalation of this war that will be devastating for our security interests.”

How do you feel about alliteration?
it just happens.
i don't often try to enhance it when i see it, though there are times i can't help myself.
i dunno - i think it's kinda fun. and not even in moderation.
i mean, if piers anthony can work in around seven or so puns in a single paragraph, i feel like i can amuse myself through any writing contrivance i stumble upon.

Do you incorporate comic relief into your story?
my stories are sorta slapstick, nonstop.
even some of the battle scenes are comedy.
i think it makes it al the more dramatic when there is no attempt at humor during the more 'sober?' moments.
there's lots of drinking. and some weed smoking. and the mushrooms...

Pass along a book which came with a personal recommendation.
oh - back in the 80s, a gal i was dating let me borrow her collection of the Watchmen graphic novels by alan moore.
in the 90s, a housemate recommended Judge Dread, also by alan moore.
my best friend at the time - who my housemate was dating - recommended Promethea, also by alan moore.
i try to read everything i can find by alan moore now.

Your MC is dead and haunting you. Where and how do they show up?
the MC's dead for almost the entire Hereafter series.
he doesn't let it get to him, though.
and he can go anywhen he desires.
if he's hanging around with me, it's likely because he needs to recuperate after being sexed within an inch of his immortal soul by his wives and mistresses.
we'd very likely play music, drink beer, and just chill with some weed.

#TimeTravelAuthors 10/29: Scary moment
The language thing still wasn’t quite getting the job done for me. There was something I was NOT getting.
"The three of us; you, me, and Eris - we're married." She pulled my face down to hers and kissed me on the cheek.
Then it hit me like a proverbial shit-ton of bricks.
"Marduk..." I began. Ninkasi’s face receded from mine.
She was crying through a beaming, big smile.
"The mightiest of all the Immortals, even the Truly Ancients,” she exclaimed. “So powerful, no one dares stand against him! And you knocked him right the fuck out!”
She swung a fist between us to illustrate.
“No one dares stand against Marduk, not even to slightly disagree with him. They’re all so afraid of him since he killed my dear, sweet brother.”
“And you laid him right out! You! A Mortal!” She sniffled a little and blew her nose.
"I can't remember ever feeling this happy." She turned to follow Eris.
"Oh, you are sooo gonna get it, mister!" she threatened over a bare, round shoulder.
I looked back to Marduk, still on his back, one foot a-twitch.
"I am sooo gonna get it." I took a long, deep breath. Zoë offered me another flagon.
“I’d get good and drunk if I were you,” she advised. “You might not be around much longer.”
"I am so doomed," I exclaimed to myself...
