Great Prose Exposed: WordCount Feature #9

~WordCount:iconWordCount: reports, March 31, 2008
Whew! A lot has happened since our last feature. In less than two months, we saw two of our members promoted to Gallery Directors: ^GeneratingHype, our founder, and ^LadyLincoln, our industrious Romantic & Erotic staff member. On behalf of *WordCount, we'd like to congratulate them both on the promotions.
:w00t!:
As for *WordCount, we haven't really disappeared--we promise. No, in fact we have a great excuse for our missing March feature: April Fools! We've got new prose to expose, and we're excited to make our full comeback. Next month is our birthday, after all. :D

(And what do we want for our birthday? :whisper: Some new staff members!)

Published Works

:pointr: The Abandoned by `mooncalfe

Campbell...adds color—in this case red—to the OEL manga format, the better to highlight zombie gore. Actually, the red keeps the reader's eye on Rylie, a red-headed black lesbian in a swampy Southern town. She's trying to start a relationship with her crush, Naomi, while the world ends around them. Campbell beautifully captures the decaying grandeur of the South, with the palpable weight of its languid air. Wearing little clothing isn't sexual; it's survival in the heat. His characters are solidly fleshy, realistic and with presence. There's a thin line between sex and death, and the characters deal with both in nonsentimental, practical ways as they talk about life and what they want to become and finding someone to love.
-- Publishers Weekly

Available now through Amazon.com! Also be sure to check out Ross Campbell's other work: the serial, Wet Moon (vol. 1-3 currently available), and Water Baby (Minx).

Meet Our Contributors: ^LadyLincoln

^LadyLincoln joined the *WordCount staff in November 2007, but she has long been a highly regarded figure in the deviantART literature community. If you've ever visited the literature boards (if not, you should) or contact with any of the many clubs and projects ^LadyLincoln dedicates her time to, you know what we're talking about!

As for her recent promotion, we don't mind repeating ourselves: there could be no better choice for our fourth Gallery Director. We are proud to have ^LadyLincoln on our team and fully expect her to make even greater contributions to the community as our new GD.

(Did you know she's a Lincoln scholar, too?)

I recently heard about a mass murderer who killed seventeen people in three days... they say he was a loner. Well, of course he was. He apparently killed everyone he came in contact with!
