Soulsong

Soulsong, featuring the bard Elinor, is now up at Mindflights! Read it here.

This is my second published Elinor story (here’s a link to the first one, for those interested). Elinor and I go back a long way. In her first incarnation, she was my twin-sword-wielding, monster-bashing bard in the Hellfire expansion of Diablo. Diablo was my very first RPG, which my now-husband introduced me to in college. Alas, Elinor’s electronic existence was subjected to the whims of D’s roommate on whose computer a bunch of us played the game. When F decided to clean up his hard drive, Elinor got deleted in the housekeeping frenzy. Too heartbroken to resurrect her as a game character, I promised that someday she would get her very own story.

At this point, a series of her very own stories. *grin*

I have the first draft of a third Elinor story written, and a fourth nibbling away at the edges of my mind. Also the laughable first chapters of the Elinor novel that I started and abandoned nearly six years ago. I hope those never see the light of day (they’re really that bad and I keep them around to keep me humble), but expect to see Elinor make her appearance in some other shorts!

    Congratulations on Soulsong! I enjoyed it but am more worried about poor Elinor than I was at the end of the first story. Please don’t leave me hanging too long!

    I read both stories and loved them. Really neat, and I really like Elinor. Can’t wait for more!

    Thanks for starting my Saturday out right!

    Robin, I’ve got lots of other nasty surprises in store for Elinor. Good thing she’s a tough little cookie!

    I’m glad you enjoyed the stories, Deb!
