New Fiction Collection

The Wildcat — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 01:59:05 +0000

Tonight I have updated the Text Fiction page with a new sub-category or sub-section layout. Now, original works will be separated from fan-fictions unless a part of a “collection”.

Basically, there is a section for novelized original stories, novelized fan-fictions, collections of original & fan-fiction shorts, original shorts, and fan-fiction shorts .

This will help divide up the page so that viewers may tell if they are about to read an original work or a fan-fic based on a game, TV show, etc.

The exception to this new format is the Collection group. Collections are several one-shot stories that have a binding similarity. For instance, my collection titled Mod Fiction is thus far two fan-fic stories I wrote based on our own mods GargArena and Cat-Life. And I might add more shorts at a later time.

The second Collection are two new submissions by Syrus Rayne. Untitled Stories is a collection with, at this time, two original one-shot stories.

So if you’re looking for some good fiction, stop by our text fiction page.

Featured Fic

The Wildcat — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 02:35:59 +0000

As some of you may recall, before the change-over I would occasionally update a widget with some featured story. These updates were sporadic at best… but they were a means to show off some of our older stories or point out one of the newer additions.

Well, with this new site I would like to include a feature from time to time as well. But I don’t really want to use the old widget. Instead, I’d like to make a new monthly or even bi-weekly feature.

That said, here is our first edition.

——————–

Tonight’s feature is our first text-fiction, an entry from almost five years ago. Barney Calhoun’s Birthday Party by Ghost Calhoun.

Originally posted on the PHL forums, this story is a script style short fiction. It still stands as a fairly humorous story about Barney Calhoun’s 30th birthday and the Black Mesa/Xen surprise party.

When this story first appeared, Friendly Garg had started to seek potential fan-fiction authors to add to his website. At that time, Friendly Garg’s Stories was a PHL hosted site and home to image stories. He had started to expand his interests and over time, the site would move and become known as the Garg-o-holics, but the fan-fiction aspect would be dropped.

This was one of his first findings during that first expansion. FG quickly posted an offer for Ghost Calhoun to join the story team as a text fiction author and other stories were written and scouted.

Unfortunately, any and all of the other text fictions of that era, there were only a few, have been lost. But thankfully, this little gem still exists and was restored to the site. BWL Development presents… Barney Calhoun’s Birthday Party.

Conundrum Updated – Chapter 16

The Wildcat — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 08:15:32 +0000

Finally, after about 2.5 years of delay… I updated Conundrum tonight.

Chapter 16: Illuminating Darkness is up and available for your reading pleasure.

View it on our site or on FanFiction.net

I delayed posting this chapter due to the work needed in rebuilding this site after I took over. I then had to make some new content which included HL2 stories and Disorientation. Finally, I have updated and hope to make the next update much sooner this time.

Also, I am planning to make all of these chapters available as text files soon. I will likely include them in a zip file and update it as new chapters are added. This way, when someone wants to print off the story, they can have a nice clean text document.
