PodCastle Stories July 25th, 2009
PodCastle has a few other shorts which are non-furry but wonderful examples of anthropomorphism.
The Orange (general audeience) is a neat story that feels like a modern fable.
Loose Drawers (mature content) brings the dynamics of sexual and relationship politics to the auto garage.
The Desires of Houses (mature content) lives up to its title and is a wonderfully fun and creatively-bizarre idea.
PodCastle Story – Captain Fantasy and the Secret Masters July 23rd, 2009
PodCastle’s story Captain Fantasy and the Secret Masters is a wonderful piece. It’s non-furry, but a great story and I think people in the fandom would appreciate it. It’s a fantasy piece with super heroes and special abilities that’s equal parts actiion and adventure, alternative history and character drama and it’s a wonderfully human story. There are bits of it which make it slightly mature, but nothing explicit nor really shocking and I appreciated the way those elements were used.
It reminds me of the Union Dues stories in Escape Pod, which also have mutant superheroes, living in a world awash in shades of gray and dealing with politics and corporate restrictions as much as super villans.

For Thomas, a college drop out looking to find his way, it was a chance meeting with the gypsy fortune teller at the carnival, but Ishandra the dragon exotic was more than she appeared. He would learn that there are immortals who walk among us, old gods who are looking for something. He soon finds himself caught up in the search of the mystery with four unique traveling companions. It’s a road trip with the gods, a strange and possibly dangerous quest, and a journey of self discovery. Thomas faces many challenges, large and small and he’ll find friendship and romance as well as intrigue, but how will the adventure change him?
Cover and illustration artwork for this book is by Heather Bruton.
