I'd like to share one of the reviews of my short story that has me blown away. I never knew that a story that I wrote as a creative outlet to destress would entertain so many people. If you don't already know, this isn't Flicks first adventure. The Intergalactic Videographer was first published in OnSpec, Issue 115 Vol 31 on January 2021, and now a 3rd instalment will be published in a few months. I have a few other mis-adventures planned for Flick Gibson, so who knows where it will take him! Now back to the following review:
"This is a pulp-like throwback to old-fashioned science fiction adventure-humour. No serious extrapolation intended. Just an amusing premise with a silly screw-up that ultimately gets resolved with an unexpected solution. Loads of fun throughout. A relaxed, pleasant read. Kind of an antidote to the previous two stories. I know I ranted about โsilly, senseless pleasureโ earlier, but only if that were the permanent state of affairs. Small doses serve a useful purpose, a psychologically sound purpose. Doesnโt hurt to chuckle once in a while. Keeps you sane. This story is good for you."
"This story is good for you".... That alone will keep me going for a while ;)
Wishing everyone a lovely spring, for those with allergies, I'll wait to wish you a happy summer when the pesky pollen season has passed. We will connect again next month!
