Channing: Some of you may have seen this document already, as it was featured on my blog for a couple of months, but for those of you that haven’t: for a while there I was noodling around and practicing writing the Skin Horse cast in prose format just to keep myself in shape. I ceased posting it publicly once I began considering the possibility of an actual published Skin Horse novella, a question I am still knocking around in my mind. Anyway, just because it might be of relevance to the larger Skin Horse community, I present the link for the first small portion of a Skin Horse short story/novella thing. If it ever becomes more than this, I guess this counts as a preview! If not, well, enjoy me writing fanfic on my own property. Check out: “Sensitivity Training Day.”
Squeeee! May i have some more, please?
Well, that’s pleasingly mad. More, please.
I guess even Skin Horse has to put up with sensitivity training—last time it came up, we sat around and heckled the video we had to watch.
Hee. But is it really “fan”fic? That would imply it’s also non-canon…
Technically, anything that hasn’t been crosschecked by the both of us can’t be considered formal canon, and that includes my side writing projects. I’m having difficulty conceiving of a situation where this matters all that much, however!
I think the more interesting thing is Jeffery still uses Office 97.
This is my old laptop. My new laptop has a shiny “new” version of Word 2010 on it which I never use because I hate it.
Meh, most of my writing is done in a text editor anyhow. I have seen the thing called “features” and I am intensely suspicious.
Elves are boring, Unity. You should play as a goliath! A goliath barbarian! I think you’d fit the role well!
Unity would like to Rage.
Fun! Most excellent fun!
I’d be willing to pay about $3.99 for the rest of this novella, more if it turns out to be a full novel.
Thank you, this sort of information is useful in helping me decide what to do with this.
I can see it now:
“Skin Horse!: Government BlackOps Inaction by Shaenon K. Garrity & Jeffrey C. Wells” forcibly scrawled across the top of the glossy hardback book cover. The lower two-thirds of the book cover displaying the Skinhorse team in a typical action pose, discussing the latest goblin romance in the break room.
Available on the clearance table at Barnes & Noble for 75% off.
Put it on Kindle so I can have it with my Rex Stout and Jane Roberts collections. Then rerelease it as a graphic novel with Shaenon and follow with more. No publishing costs and they will sell plus I want ’em.
My Android phone won’t open an rtf file. Anybody know a free lightweight ap I can get from Google for that?
It may be easier in the short run to just visit the version that was posted on my blog: https://scrivnarium.wordpress.com/category/writings/short-stories/skin-horse-short-stories/sensitivity-training-day/
Any office file viewer or word processor app
Please keep writing this! I just have to find out how well Unity [SPOILERS] does at being a photocopier. I’d imagine she would eventually enjoy it. Just as soon as she figures out that she can annoy her coworkers by randomly “malfunctioning”, that is.
my god is that critical role?
I am so happy to know that you guys watch it
It is! And yes, CR is my tertiary fandom jam after Narbonic and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
