M-Brane Science Fiction, Summer 2010… (3rd Acceptance!)

Posted on May 4, 2010

In about a month or so I’ll be returning for a third time with a weird SF/alternate history tale of sorts to M-BRANE SF. Edited by Christopher Fletcher, M-Brane Science Fiction is not just a monthly, speculative magazine dedicated to the pulps in PDF format. It’s also only $1.00 per electronic issue ($12.00 per year), and you can download it to your Amazon Kindles and other digital readers. Christopher Fletcher provides a daily blog site, complete with hardcore news, reviews, and insight on subjects of science fiction and science fact. Hard SF, Sociological SF, Cyberpunk, Alternate History, authors new and old can all be found at M-BRANE SF. A LULU version is also offered, I believe.

Lawrence Dagstine: “Historical Works in Progress…”

Posted on April 2, 2010

On Alternate History, Historical Weird Tales, and SF Serials…

In the next couple of weeks I will be continuing my bimonthly series of Free Fiction. This time I will be serializing a science fiction-themed novella about two orphans that get stranded during an interplanetary adoption. It takes place on the largest planet in the universe — The planet Ragnarok (aptly named after the warring Gods of Norse Mythology, which later supposedly caused a lot of catastrophes concerning Mother Nature and the like for Mankind). You’ll understand why as you get into it over the course of the year. There are even a few flashback sequences similar to the series LOST. On Ragnarok, Quadrant 4, located on the outer rim of the Cat’s Eye Nebula, like most of my worlds, there are eighteen seasons. Unlike Earth, which has only four. The good guys are a bunch of giant lizards with chest communicators. Think the Silurians from Doctor Who, only bigger, stronger. Bad guys are a bunch of elemental wind creatures who harvest meat by “shadowy” & “vampiric” means. These guys are the horror element to the story. Main orphan characters are Chelsea and Blake, and you are sure to fall in love with these two kids. Mind you, this serial is FIRST DRAFT, so if you see the occasional typo or a bit of redundancy, I don’t plan on publishing this anywhere but my homepage. Entertainment purposes only. I could best describe the early portions as a cross between Lord of the Flies, the movie Pitch-Black, and Living Amongst the Lizards (short story). Serials shall run between 2,500 and 5,000 words in length. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Once again, all first draft.

Name of planned Bimonthly Serial: “Orphan’s Prey” – Stay Tuned!

On The Great Depression and post-Civil War era…

I already have a batch of finished short stories and novelettes set in these two eras. Some accepted, too.

Story One: “A Town of Crows” – Killer Scarecrows after the Civil War now appearing in Steampunk Tales #6. See eBooks & Kindle.

Story Two: “A Time and Place for Monsters” – a very long novelette with vampires and werewolves during the Great Depression coming to Cover of Darkness. Also, a bit of back history concerning President Hoover and The Monsters. Never before done.

Story Three: “The Two-Sided Market” – Dedicated to H.G. Wells/Parallel Piece.

Story Four: “The Great Martian Depression” – Scifi currently appearing in The Martian Wave Issue#1.

Story Five: “FDR and the Locusts” – Franklin D. Roosevelt and BIG Insects, with a plot twist.

Cleopatra VII - Brooklyn Museum of New York 2008 - 2009

On Cleopatra and Alternate History…

There are two finished stories, finally edited, featuring Cleo as a fourteen-year-old. They take place between Ancient Egypt and Rome. Alternate History meets Historical Fantasy, and there will also be mages, sorcerers, the undead, gods, and demigods! Also, the stories begin with Mark Antony as narrator for the first page and ends with him conceptually. Here, I decided to experiment.

Story One: “Young Cleopatra and The Whispering Ancients”

Story Two: “Young Cleopatra and The Eye of Horus.”

Story Three: UNTITLED (coming 2011, and concerning the suicide of Mark and Cleo).

On Pompeii and Rome…

Next, later in the year off to Pompeii and some more fiction in Rome. Introducing the Children of Ash short stories/novelettes. All stand-alone tales, which I often prefer.

Story One: “The Children of Ash” – After Volcano Day.

Story Two: “The Nightmare Lair” – Inside the Volcano.

Story Three: “The Vampires of Pompeii” – The Romans have some neighbors. 😉

I’m also thinking up a totally “messed-up” Caligula-style crossover piece as well. Of course, this is still not a guarantee that a market will accept all of them. Never is.

I also noticed that a lot of Fresh Blood PDFs were sold. Like 40 or 50 in the first two, three weeks. At $3.50, yeah, it’s a great price. If you own a reader, click on eBooks & Kindle and treat yourself to a copy. You can also now read PDFs on the Amazon Kindle, or download the free iPhone/iPad application off of Amazon.com as well. I’d like to thank all of you. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. The same with my scarecrow story in Steampunk Tales #6 (www.steampunktales.com).

Other than that, there are ten brand new short stories and novelettes completed, my first novella is in the editorial screening stages, and ten brand new acceptances for 2010-2011. I wish I had the time to blog ten times per day, but life does not permit me such luxury. I’ll try and fit what I can. Historical stories take two, three weeks alone. However, some acceptances are to print anthologies. So stay tuned! SF serial starts Late April/May 2010. It’s gonna be fun!

Cheers,

Lawrence Dagstine

Lawrence Dagstine: “A Day at the Brooklyn Museum…”

Posted on February 17, 2010

The following series of pictures were taken a little over a year ago, when I went on a research trip to The Brooklyn Museum of New York. During that time, between 2008 and early 2009, there was an Ancient Egyptian/Assyrian Exhibit. They also had an “Old School” Graffiti Art exhibit on the 5th Floor. It was a lot of fun. I got to see some real mummies (which you’ll see below), tombs, statues, canvases, masks, and a whole lot of other interesting stuff from the days before Christ. I finally got around to resizing some of those other photographs. The results of this visit would be a short article for an archeological magazine and an alternate history tale featuring Cleopatra (novelette-length). Here they are, finally, in all their glory. Historical and artistic pics.

Assyria * Ancient Egypt * Mummies * Tombs

The mummies were the freakiest…

(There were more pics for this exhibit, but those were sold along with the article)

Asian Artifacts * Age-Old Trinkets * Masks * Molds

Doctor Who: Series Five Monsters…

Posted on March 16, 2009

New Monsters! It’s about time… Hmm, am I making any sense? I don’t know, I might not make any sense ever again. Fanboy-ism aside, and as a science fiction writer to boot, I’m here today to declare my love yet again for one of the longest running shows in TV history. That’s right — Doctor Who! Torchwood would probably come in second or third for me. And, as we all know, David Tennant regenerates after this year and becomes The Eleventh Doctor. This role will go to the then 27-year old Matt Smith.

regeneration_stunt

Now I will admit, at first I wasn’t too keen on the idea of Smith taking over the role; I had fingers crossed for Paterson Joseph, Adrian Lester, or even Colin Salmon. But I guess it’s only right that we give the boy a chance. After all, Stephen Moffat is a remarkable writer and it’s as if he were born to lead such a fantastic show. Also, Matt Smith promises to bring a lot to the role as the Doctor — retracing the 70’s show model, Matt and Stephen? — and you know these newbies, one night they’re nobody, the next they’re a guaranteed success and eating the pie from the Actor’s Guild. Matt Smith you have my attention. I will give you a chance, I promise. But what adversaries will you face? What monsters will you go up against? What surprises does Moffat have in store for us in 2010?

Official BBC Doctor Who Homepage:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/

I know the one monster I don’t want to see anymore is The Daleks — NO MORE! They’ve been done to death. Russell T. Davies abused them enough, I think. I love the Cybermen, don’t get me wrong… but please exit right. And it’s safe to bet that the Sontarans were just a “one-time” gig. I want monsters that harken back to the Baker years. Or they should be, at the very least, considered.

matt-smith-doctor-who-1

I have read rumors (and they are only that), that the “Weeping Angels” will be making their return. I’ve seen The Sea Devils being tossed about the Net. The Troclafane were mentioned on one “source” forum, but I hope they weren’t serious. And like the Sea Devils, my money is on the Ice Warriors all the way! I wouldn’t be surprised if they are a major villain in Series Five.

There are so many monsters that haven’t returned, that should. I mean, what about the Nimon? These were Minotaur-like monsters who could shoot you down with their horns. In the insect department, you have the Wirrn, who are most memorable from Baker’s second story, The Ark in Space. A Horror of Fang Rock-like story involving the Rutans would be kind of interesting. Or how about using CGI to remake The Gravis and a new sort of Tractator? Perhaps The Zarbi? No, even better, how about the Rani?

nimon

As I get ready for PLANET OF THE DEAD, I wonder what surprises are in store for Matt Smith. And us…

What monsters do YOU want to see return to Doctor Who? Would you like to cast a vote?

Come, take a Doctor Who poll with me…

Lawrence Dagstine: “Dagstine does Egypt…”

Posted on February 12, 2009

Ancient Egypt that is! Minus the Scifi novella, a look into one of five upcoming projects between 2009 and 2010 that should wet any reader’s appetite. This should give my fans and peers a look into what I do for inspiration and, at times, research. From the ashes of a New Yorker’s mind, a non-fiction and fiction tale is born. Think of an article or story like a work of architecture — Like any building, it needs a foundation drafted, then crafted, in order to stand. A good story can also be like a work of art. Colorful and priceless, depending on the artist. With any dedicated and enthusiastic study, life experience also plays a major role in creation.

Lawrence Dagstine does Egypt

Whether it’s freelancing pre-dynasty non-fiction or fantasy, alternate history or occultist horror, Dagstine will do it! That’s for sure. The hints to one of my next tales sits on this screen — well, rather yours — in front of you. Will it have lots of mummies and real mystery? Will it involve Cleopatra? Will it showcase ancient gods and pyramids in an adventure the likes you’ve never read? I guess you’ll have to wait and see…

Lawrence Dagstine does Egypt

By the way, there’s tiny scarabs and children’s remains — mummified, I might add — in that tomb behind me (just kidding). Coffins such as these were used by pharoahs or kings for royal pets, such as cats. Lots of times they were mummified and buried with their owners. Personal belongings were included for their long journey into the next world.

Sound juicy so far? Well, you better stay tuned then…

Posted on January 13, 2009

And here’s a quick appearance from over two months ago to THE RANDOM EYE: An Ezine Dedicated to Alternatives. You can find a lot of cool stuff here (from alternate history to parallel universes). SFWA member Rick Novy is also in this issue, and I believe we’ll be appearing in some other stuff together later in the year. Great writer, and an even greater fella to chat with. In the meantime, be sure to read the premiere edition; it’s only published once per year.

The Random Eye, An Ezine Dedicated to Alternatives…

Posted on November 22, 2008

I’ll have a story appearing soon in a new and interesting ezine called THE RANDOM EYE. Published Annually, they seem to accept work which is dark and speculative, but borders on the alternative, parallel (like universes), and the overall bizarre. More than just “weird fiction”. Be sure to check them out.

THE RANDOM EYE

An E-Anthology Dedicated to Alternatives

http://therandomeye.says.it

From their homepage: The Random Eye is a yearly anthology of horror and speculative fiction that focuses on the possibilities of parallel universes. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Rob Zombie became president, or if the Titanic was used for space travel, or if television was invented for communicating with the dead rather than entertainment? The Random Eye takes a simple theme for each anthology and encourages authors to imagine an existence far removed from our own, where a myriad alternate universes reside and where these strange possibilities exist.
