For the last little while, I have been working on a joint writing project with six other authors, planning, mapping and building a world that we all shared, and that we all wrote within. Well, the first evidence of that is now here, as each week, the six of us will post a series of flash stories, serials, and essays in and about the Splintered Lands. Eventually, these stories and others will be collected, polished to a bright shine, and published in an anthology.<\/p>\n
And now, to Splintered Sunday<\/a>! This week, we feature stories from me,\u00a0Lisa Stull<\/a> and Walter Shuler<\/a>. \u00a0We’d love to have your comments on this.<\/p>\n If you’d like more after this, you can up with\u00a0Lisa<\/a> and\u00a0Walter<\/a> on Twitter. Since you’re reading me, I’m sure you know where to go, but you can find me\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the last little while, I have been working on a joint writing project with six other authors, planning, mapping and building a world that we all shared, and that we all wrote within.
