These are collections of pieces from my Workbook. Hopefully this goes to show that it's good for something. My thought is that grouping them can imply larger narratives which weren't in mind when they were written. I think that's my thought anyway. Nowadays I need vitamins to remember what I thought this morning:

Many of these pieces have appeared in the Web's better literary magazines. Here's the publication history.

This one's different. A traditional Modernist set-piece, satirizing the theatricality of right-wing politics and generally being silly:

After the Holocaust, on Gilligan's Island, a satire.

Please especially check out TriadCity. I believe that multiuser role-playing games are an emerging form of literature. To me they seem to be particularly good at fulfilling the formal and thematic agendas of Postmodernism. Seemingly so does The Cambridge Companion to Postmodernism, which, along with other scholarly fora, sites TriadCity as an emerging new literary form. This idea is explained here on the SmartMonsters website. There's also a good Wikipedia article on TriadCity which I highly recommend.

Thanks!
