THE 31 CHARACTERS 31 DAYS CHALLENGE DAY TWENTY EIGHT

Even though I fell down on the promised ‘One character for every day’ event, you should still contribute to RAINN.  There’s a movement to reduce women to property--the phrase ‘consensual rape’ that’s being dropped by certain Alt-Right ‘Conservatives’ to justify their anti-abortion stance both chills and outrages me.  Please donate to this organization devoted to helping women and children stand up for themselves after being violated.

This event is to create 31 characters, one for every day in May (although at this point, it's going to take until the end of June to finish this thing) , that will be featured in an upcoming project I’m working on tentatively called Strikeforce Liberty.

If you are a Domicile of Dread Patreon, you’ll get a short podcast discussing the creation process for each character.  I made one of these podcasts available to the general public here.  If you’d like to hear all of these podcasts, get other exclusive goodies like reviews and essays, and can spare at least a dollar a month to support my efforts to Make The World Stranger, go here to sign up.

Please enjoy, and please donate.

Three more to go....

THE WEEKENDER

Name: You couldn’t pronounce it without dislocating your tongue
Location: Where the action is!
Occupation: Professional Partier

The appearance of Abarrax didn’t usher in an influx of aliens.  That doesn’t mean we didn’t have other visitors from off Earth.  Take, for example, The Weekender.

The Weekender has an annoying habit of invading our galactic space at the most inopportune time, usually under the influence of some sort of suspicious substance. and interfering in her quest for A Kickin’ Party.  She has a habit of making things more complicated than they need to be and making a mess wherever she goes.  Many heroes suddenly find themselves trying to get rid of the Weekender instead of dealing with the emergency at hand as her near-limitless power mucks everything up.

While The Weekender is more a nuisance than a menace, she becomes something of a priority every time she shows her hungover, spaced-out head for every policeman, goverment agent and hero in the immediate area.

So if you know of someplace off-planet with a cool happening....could you send her there?
