Loglines (Taglines and Blurbs to Follow)

This post is another that initially started out as one, then multiplied into two like some ever-divvying amoeba newly-enamored with mitosis. So let’s start out with Loglines before we delve into Taglines and Blurbs next go around. Now there are loads of articles out there defining what all should go into loglines, and a quick google search will give you much more in-depth info than you’re about to get here. But I’m all about maximum effectiveness for the minimum effort, so ho

Superman VS Wolverine: Best Superhero

Well, we lit a bit of a nerd firestorm as to LOTR or Star Wars being the greatest trilogy of all times. And in the process we uncovered another diametrically opposed avenue, and that was of the comic book superhero. DC and Marvel battle it out for superiority in their separate paneled universes (and movie screens), while the independent comics hunt for sustenance in their scraps. And while these indies usually eschew the superhero, comics themselves were (and are) cemented ar

Unicorn Burgers

Ah, another day at Bugbear BBQ and another request on how to prepare unicorn, this time in burger form. Due to our decision to only serve ethically-sourced, non-sentient animals, coupled with our fear of divine retribution for slaying such a beloved beast, unicorns are decidedly off the menu at our restaurant. Because to serve one is so obviously a sin. However, as Oscar Wilde once said, “there is no sin except stupidity,” and since the subject comes up so very often, we thou

LiGoAke (Chimera Turducken)

Every pitmaster worth his or her salt knows a thing or two about stuffing (and probably salt). At Bugbear BBQ we’ve been known to stuff a troll burger patty full of bacon, cheese and jalapenos before stuffing it into our mouths. After the cooking, of course. But over the last few years the idea of stuffing one meat inside another meat inside of another meat has really exploded, the patient zero of this plague being the infamous turducken. And though this meat-monstrosity (and

The Origin of the Mudbird (Auld Lands)

[excerpt from Dobra Tales and Lore, collected by David Hooper] Long ago in the days before glass, there lived a man named Anders, who wished to become a sanct and do the will of Sol. So Anders went to the nearest monastery where he prostrated himself and begged to join their number. And so they made him one of their own, teaching him to read and write. There Anders spent all day copying the Biba Sacara, from the first word to the harvest itself. But the words never touched

Myers Briggs Your Characters

This is totally a cheat for my new blogging schedule (now twice a week!) in that it's really a guest blog I did for the amazing Jo Zebedee back in December of last year. But I did want to get it cataloged in my own blog. Because I'm weird about that sort of thing. Good news: I should hopefully be doing a lot more guest blogs in the near future. Also, there will be a giveaway soon for people who join the monthly newsletter. Also, I'll be doing a monthly newsletter. So check ou

Lord of the Rings VS Star Wars: Best Movie Trilogy

“There’s only one Return, okay, and it ain’t of the King. It’s Jedi.” Randal from Clerks II. (Warning: Link NSFW) Ambiguity is a terrible thing, which is why we get so opinionated about what is actually “the best” in any category. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd cannot possibly share the position of best classic rock band ever; no, there must be a definitive winner. DC and Marvel cannot peaceably co-exist in their paneled pages; there must be a clear victor in their crossover spe

Barbecued Fairy: Bugbear BBQ Recipe

We at Bugbear BBQ firmly believe that the best barbecue comes from the best ingredients, and so we prefer our meats to be ethically sourced; consisting of wild-caught, free-range, or battlefield-harvested creatures. Because of our stance on ethically sourced meats, we ALWAYS avoid humanoid creatures and anything approaching sentience. Because we’re not monsters after all. No, we prefer to eat monsters! This rule does not apply to fairy folk, however, which have been plaguing

Gerjet and the Greedy Woodcutter

[excerpt from Myths of Old, collected by David Hooper] Long ago when glass was still new, deep in the woods there lived a poor man with six daughters. The oldest was Gerjet, a Shaper who should have brought her father great wealth. But Gerjet was a willful girl that refused to use her Shaper strength in the presence of others. Since she would do no work for the family, her father took her to his nearest neighbor in the morning, a greedy woodcutter. Hearing of Gerjet’s Shaper
