The Superguy Dreamwidth community

happy trails and all that

In the interests of reducing my social media intake, I've started axing some of my old accounts, and Dreamwidth's is among them. I don't own the Superguy community on Dreamwidth (that would be Demiurgent), but I won't be posting Superguy updates on here any longer. And since I was just about the only one who ever was posting here since 2016...

If you are reading this and are interested in staying connected (or re-connecting) with the Superguy community, please check out the Superguy/Sfstory LinkTree.

If you're *super* interested in staying (re)connected, join us on the Superguy/Sfstory Discord! Current and former writers and readers, all welcome!

As for little old me, all my surviving social medias and such are on my own linktree. Ciao!

(Edit: So as to not see all my entries in this community disappear, I've "un-axed" my DreamWidth account. It'll stay around; I just won't be coming back to it.)

Not doing notes this time around. The story is what it is.

(And what is it? Oh, no, I was hoping you could tell me...)

Note that Superguy's email page is a bit different now, so the links are different. I'll update the links in the Superguy/Sfstory linktree soon.

I just posted an Administrivia announcement to the Superguy list proper: https://lists.eyrie.org/pipermail/superguy/2022-October/000294.html

Basically, I set up a shiny, new Discord server specific to Superguy and Sfstory readers and authors, where we can shoot the breeze and hopefully reconnect. If you're reading this, you're invited:

https://discord.gg/xuhYChvAPK

I've also set up a Superguy / Sfstory twitter account to post notifications for when new stories are posted:

https://twitter.com/superguysfstory

Hope to see you all there!

The Superguy logs for 2011-March 2017 (1334-1345) are now included in the Superguy ftp site:

http://archives.eyrie.org/superguy/

SG: Adjusted League Unimpeachable #110, plus notes and cast list and prologue

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 17:25:31 GMT

Posted by: demiurgent

Yeah. It's 1996 all over again, and yes, this is Part the Tenth of "There Are Those Who Call Me Bruce" from The Adventures of the Adjusted League Unimpeachable. Smell that Clinton! Who ever thought we'd smell that... funk... in....

Huh.

The League is still a going concern, mind. It's locked to 2007, however, so... yeah. Eleven years after ALU, currently.

Here are the posts of note:

Rough Cut #2 (Previously on the Adventures of the Adjusted League Unimpeachable

The League #7 (Post and Notes)

Posted by: demiurgent

This is the League #7, because what's 8-9 years between friends, right? It exists because of The Mason Kramer, my friend and collaborator, who unfortunately isn't in a position to write and likely won't be in the future.

Now, of course, we just need the Notes!

SG/SF: Trail Boss #1

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 16:51:49 GMT

Posted by: demiurgent

Just in time for... um... nothing in particular... new posts! At the moment, it's coded as both Superguy and Sfstory because the main action's taking place in Superguy but the characters and style's very much Sfstory. It's called Trail Boss, starring Stetson Tyler: Space Cowboy and his extended cast, along with some old friends. The Sage makes an appearance as does Galaxy Hunter and some Xolchipalians.

The story takes us back to the halcyon days of 1994, not long after Satan and the Yesj nearly destroyed the Earth in Bill Dickson's "Yesterday's Hero." Sometime after this, the former Yesj -- now the Pretty Damn Fine Ol' Hellacious Ship 'Alamo's Revenge's Revenge' -- became a significant power in the Superguy universe, but when "Yesterday's Hero" ended it was something of a wreck.

This is how it went from A to B. Or... B to A, I guess.

The story largely stars characters made by Frank "Manly Man" Orzechowicz, handed over to me back in 1997 where they've languished. Since Frank's death back in October, I've wanted more and more to get these character back out to stretch a little bit. I have no idea if anyone's even still on the list, mind.

Notes a little later. Peace, out!

Artwork and Vignette: Momentum and Healer

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 16:37:03 GMT

Posted by: demiurgent

Momentum-and-Healer by demiurgent on DeviantArt

A picture of Healer and Momentum, dating about eighteen months after the genocidal wars, which means it's still some time before the A.L.U. disbands -- thus "Healer." Yeah, this is a thing I've been doing lately.

There's a short vignette on the Deviantart page, because sometimes it's fun to write Mlle. Tirkoff.

(For the record, I'm taking commissions for pretty cheap rates, and I'd dearly love to work on other Superguy characters as part of it. Let me know if you're interested. End of commercial!)

Sad News

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 16:34:58 GMT

Posted by: demiurgent

It's sad to bring sad news for the first post here for a long while, but for those who may still be following this... SFStory and Superguy author, Rabbi of Thor and Large Manly Man in often Wet Clothing Frank Orzechowicz -- Rabbi_Thor on LJ back in the day -- passed away painlessly and peacefully yesterday, October 29, 2015, at his home with his family, after a very good day. Frank was the creator of Stetson Tyler, Space Cowboy and various and sundry other stuff and things. He was an excellent person, a good man, and my brother. He could also bowl, cook damn good fettucini alfrado, and expertly apply a figure four leglock. He was a photographer, a writer, an artist, a husband and a father. He sang well and played bell choir, but didn't dance.

I may post the lyrics to the Stetson Tyler: Space Cowboy theme song I wrote a while back, but it won't be tonight. Right now, I'm going to go to bed and sob.

Universal Solvents 25

This is the finale of my Universal Solvents serial, and most likely the last thing I'll write for Sfstory (though not necessarily for Superguy). As always, in addition to being archived with all the other Superguy-multiverse material, you can find this and the as-complete-as-possible Sfstory archives here: http://sfstory.garywolson.com.
