Fireside Yarns

Everyone’s A Critic

I thought I might post here bits of a Sci-Fi thing I’ve been trying to get off the ground for a bit. See how it fares. It has aliens, space ships, cheeky mutant bacteria, grand villains, car chases, smart-ass animals and even a bit of romance. We’ll see.

Meanwhile, say hello to The Rats. They’re almost my favourite characters.

Miraculous Update! 06/09/10 Well, it’s not the promised Sci-Fi story I promised, but, hey, who’s keeping tabs? Here be a wee account of how the Shoggoths came into my life and of the wonderfully successful partnership we entered into & all that. I hope you enjoy it.

    Wow girl===== this is fantastic. You spin a mean tale. I love it and would like a couple of shoggoths to hang with myself.

    Absolutely brilliant, DD! I knew that shoggoth would turn out to be who he did! And it has to be said, I love your writing style as much as I love your art! Brava!!!!!!!!

    Darling, shower of thanks for your visit, the comment (oh, there be life on my Souk!!!) and for liking the mean tale. The Shoggoths say you can hang around with them as much as you jolly well like. H.P. Lovecraft, on the other hand, is well pissed off. He says the Shoggoths were never that nice to him. I say, You should have been nicer to them, Howie… :-) Big hug, baby. XXX

    Thanks by the bucketful, Mary (have you got a little lamb or are you the contrary kind? :-) ) It always thrills me to the bone to have people actually dropping in on my Souk and leaving comments. Wheeee!!!! I’m also thrilled that you liked the writing. I’m even more insecure about this than I am about my illustrations. Blast our female socio-genetically-engineered insecurities. Pah… Let’s pretend they’re not there, shall we? Big rubbery hug from the Shoggies and a bear-one from moi. Stay groovy!

    Oh you make a miserable old lumps day you do!

    Our wee bully Bella, she loved da cake! Whenever we gave her a piece she’d poke it round the kitchen floor before shovellin’ it down, it was kind of a wee cake dance ritual, enhancing her French Fancy pleasure…whenever she did it her nose would squeak on the floor…

    So this is me, squeaking my nose on the floor before n after devouring your tale of the Shoggoths…cos I love it so much…SQUEEEEEEEAK!

    (I believe we should form some sort of movement against the whole whiff of insecurity thing…cos it’s just chicken oriental that one as mighty of imagination n talent as you, with not only the fantastical artings but the wordy worms, should have any doubts or wobbly bits over your gargantuan talents)

    You are a nose squeaky enducing star in the t’interwebby firmament you are, and there’s big Mimi Loves happening all around your fine self…innit!
