Roadkill Camp Tales
The Best of (the old) Matera's Madhouse and then some...
Welcome to the Paleolithic. I am Matera the Mad, headperson of Roadkill Camp.
After a long period of scribbling fits and starts during which nothing worth reading ever got finished, I got rolling with - ACK! - fan fiction. I had enjoyed reading Jean M. Auel's Earth's Children™ series (though I am rather sick of it now), and I enjoy writing parodies. Hence Roadkill Camp Tales. The beginning of this series of utterly ghastly short stories and novels was originally posted at the AuelBoard at ECfans.com (which I am also sick of), in a thread entitled "Matera's Madhouse." (I have recycled that title for my LiveJournal blog.)
Most of it is rough and unedited by my standards. It was all written for fun. The "real" fan-fics, non-parody extensions of the lives of Durc and Frebec, served to loosen me up when I got hung on other writing projects.
Some original characters developed in the later novel-length parodies have gone on to live their own lives. I have removed the stories in which they were "born" and grew.
The Stories
Parodies:
Jondalar and Thonolan Meet the Tonkatoi - what you didn't get to read in Valley of Horses ~ Part 1 ~ Part 2
Another Mamutoi Game - a few more scenes that J.M.A. left out - Part 1 ~ Part 2 ~ Part 3
Jondalar and Ayla (and Whinney and Racer and Wolf) Visit the Tonkatoi - Part 1 ~ Part 2 ~ Part 3 ~ Part 4 ~ Part 5 ~ Part 6
"Serious" fan-fic:
Durc's Run ~ 1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 ~ 5 ~ 6 ~ 7 ~ 8 ~ 9 ~ 10 ~ 11 ~ I wrote this to loosen up some tight writing muscles. Sorry foax, no sequels.
-- All right, I lie like a grass mat, here's: Durc In Love (short story, one long page). Now I am done with Durc, okay?
I lied again: Dreams And Memories goes between the other two Durc tales.
I am a consummate liar, though Durc's Thanksgiving is more hors d'oeuvre than feast.
Frebec's Sorrow -- a "prequel" to the Durc stories -- 1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 ~ 5
Other Scribblin's
Dead Sentences ~ a Nick Wortschatz mystery
Your roving critic throws some light on what makes writers do what they do...or at any rate, on what they do. This is not fan-fic, although it has the flavor of a classic mystery story. It was inspired by some very bad writing.Character Assassination ~ another tale of writing gone awry. The working title was "Who Killed Mary Sue" -- draw thine own conclusions.
You know writers are getting too involved with their characters when they bring them home with them...
