Death is Hungry; A Tale of Gluttony Death is Hungry; A Tale of Gluttony By Megan Cutler | July 14, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment This is sort of an indirect follow-up to the story I posted last week, Blood for the Dead. When I sat down to do this second round of Seven Deadly Sins prompts, I had a hard time choosing a second candidate for Gluttony. I was starting to think I would have to leave the series … Read More Read More
Top Six Prompts from the First Year Top Six Prompts from the First Year By Megan Cutler | July 10, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment On the thirty-first of July, 2015, I posted my first ever writing prompt. It kicked off a weekly tradition of taking time to write for myself, for fun, for practice and for personal development. Today I wrote prompt number ninety – hard to believe I’ve done that many! I’ve had a lot of fun responding … Read More Read More
Blood for the Dead Blood for the Dead By Megan Cutler | July 7, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment As I mentioned in my blog post on Monday, where I introduced Azmih and explained some of his history, I wrote this story for a class I took in college. The only requirements for the story was that it be less than ten pages and that it say something about the human condition. My teacher … Read More Read More
A Fatal Flaw A Fatal Flaw By Megan Cutler | June 30, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment I like to write stories for my friends. At the end of last year, I wrote a tribute for a friend who was grieving a lost pet. This story was written for a member of my regular RPG group (the one which spawns all my Dark Space stories). The incident it depicts happened near the … Read More Read More
Childhood Bliss Childhood Bliss By Megan Cutler | June 23, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment A long time ago, I wrote the prologue for what I hope will one day be Rose’s story. I really liked the concept at the time so I’ve kept it squirreled away on my hard drive. You may have noticed that a little while back I went digging and found a bunch of old writing. … Read More Read More
The Shadow Creature’s Mark; A Tale of Pride The Shadow Creature’s Mark; A Tale of Pride By Megan Cutler | June 16, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Here’s another character that I haven’t written about on the blog before, but one I’d love to start using again. It’s also the next installment in my second round of the Seven Deadly Sins series – Pride. . . . Trails of sparks shot from the firebird’s tail as she glided through the air, a … Read More Read More
Mourning the Monster Mourning the Monster By Megan Cutler | June 9, 2017 | Comments 2 comments This is an older scene (you can probably tell by how rough it is), another one I found while poking around on my hard drive. I wrote this for a now defunct super hero-esque role playing forum my husband used to run. There was a long run up of events before this scene, but the … Read More Read More
For a Small Fee; A Tale of Greed For a Small Fee; A Tale of Greed By Megan Cutler | June 2, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment Way in the long ago, when D&D 4th edition came out, my husband and I decided to test it out with a short one-shot. We recruited my brother-in-law and a friend of his and set up a small group. I decided to try something outside my norm and created a Paladin. According to the rule … Read More Read More
The Blue Rose The Blue Rose By Megan Cutler | May 26, 2017 | Comments 0 Comment This is an old piece that I found while digging around on my hard drive (so it may be a bit rougher than usual). Several years ago (probably close to a decade now), my husband and I were coming home from dinner out on Valentine’s Day and we encountered a flower seller in the subway … Read More Read More
Very Few Are Left (Revisited) Very Few Are Left (Revisited) By Megan Cutler | May 19, 2017 | Comments 3 comments A while back I decided to re-do a prompt with the same character in the same universe, but at a different part of their life. As usual, Domerin had a lot to offer. But I thought his idea was rather cheaty – since it actually involved a different version of himself (even if he does … Read More Read More
