First story! Woo! · 3:42am Nov 17th, 2014
I'm not sure if it's been accepted or not, but hopefully, somewhere on the ether of this site, "An Act of Random Kindness" is available for reading. Thought I'd drop some notes on this for your consideration.
I wrote this story back in the summer of 2013, for a number of reasons. First, I got into the fandom late into Season One being aired, catching all the episodes on Youtube and enjoying them very much. Being a writer myself, I wanted to tell a story in this universe, but nothing really clicked for me. Season Two came along, and again, nothing. By this point (late fall/early winter of 2012, almost two years ago now), I got a temp job at Amazon.com, and that and Season Three finally got the gears turning. "An Act of Random Kindness" was the result.
Suffice it to say, Quiver Quill is very much inspired by myself, and much of his backstory is drawn from my own life, with significant liberties taken in some areas. I've never met anyone of serious importance in government, save for the former mayor of my city during a school function and a fleeting glimpse of one of my state's senators...but I did have the pleasure of meeting Tara Strong at a convention back in 2008.
I'm already working on my next story to feature him, but the other two stories I have ready to go focus on other characters. Those, however, are in continuity with this, hence the "Alternate Universe" tag. I'll elaborate on that in a later blog post.
Anyway, hope everyone enjoys!
