Exigent – The Fae Liaison Initiative
25 January, 2012
On Reddit.com, the fantasy writers’ subreddit began a monthly short story writing competition in December 2011. I thought I’d give it a shot and entered with a new piece called ‘Exigent’.
‘Exigent’ ended up becoming the inaugural winner of the competition but I was intrigued by the setting that I had put together. It seemed such a waste to leave only 6000 words in there — the setting deserved more.
For the past few weeks, I continued work on further stories – these will form the background of ‘Exigent’. There are going to be 12 episodes in total for the first season, including ‘Exigent’. If my outlining has been consistent, the 12 episodes will form enough material for a novel-length work. I’m writing these as fast as I can.
In the meantime, ‘Exigent’ is available on Amazon for Kindle. It’s fairly similar to the version that won the short story competition on Reddit but I intend to revisit it someday.
