Hello, my name is Seth! I'm an as-yet-unpublished writer with too many stories to work on and not enough time. But then again, that describes most tropers.
Current Projects
- Players in a Strange Land: A group of costume-wearing teens attending a gaming convention get drawn into a LARP session by a very serious lad in a rather convincing elf costume. Surprise! He's a real elf, and he's just transported them to a very stereotypical fantasy world. The elf had thought he had found a magical realm full of heroes when he arrived at the game convention, but instead he ended up with a group of seven kids. But it quickly becomes clear that, because of MAGIC, all of the teen's costumes have suddenly become real, and they are in-fact the heroes they were dressed up as. Another teen drama/angst story, but with more Rule of Cool and a bit of Magnificent Seven Samurai. If Sky is sword and sorcery, then Players is high fantasy.
- Lighting Lanterns: After 2/3rds of the industrialized world loses all power and technology after a series of terrorist EMP attacks, the world is plunged into chaos and ruin. This begins to turn around when various steampunks from around the former united states start building a new world from the ashes of the old. A steam-driven world. Kinda-sorta, at any rate. The story follows a few groups of people from around the US, from regular folks to mad scientists, as they make the apocalypse more awesome. A much more light-hearted take on the end of the world.
- Prelude To War: Long ago, generation ships crossed the void from Earth to a new world. Now, thousands of years later, the world powers are plunging headlong toward a war waged with flying battleships. The story jumps around between a very large cast of characters, while painting a picture of the political intrigue and, in a sense, explaining the events that eventually culminate in a world-wide war. The entire thing gets even more complicated when the time-loops start happening, especially since very few people remember the previous loops. It's one of those "you wouldn't believe the kind of flow charts I need to draw up just to keep track of everything" kind of stories. Also, there be dragon(s).
