Guest Writer Spotlight - DANTE

Welcome Dante! One of our mods has a prior admiration for his work, so we are happy to have him as a guest writer on the project! You can read his work here.

Favorite Stormbringer characters: Verlaine, Lippmann

Plain text under the cut!

CONTRIBUTOR STATEMENT:

"Hello! My name is Dante and I think at this point you could replace my voicebox with a pull-string doll that can only quote lines from Stormbringer and it'd take me two business weeks to notice. Sorry! (Sorry.) I'm honored to have been chosen for a guest spot; I'll work hard to make it worth your while. Thank you!"

WRITING EXAMPLE:

[...] Whatever their suspicions, the Sheep had never forbidden Chuuya from taking the first watch. They supposed that he'd feel their turned backs, their shut-eyed faces, like an indictment or a brand, a torch to keep the wolf at bay. And he had; There were nights when it felt so big, so impossible of a sin to be the wielder of greatest violence for miles upon miles, maybe from one end of the country to the other, that he choked on trust. There were nights when all the stars were good for was reminding him the only reason his hands were clean was that the light had yet to reach him.

What's something like him doing inside?

What if he forgets how to starve?
