Has anyone listened to the Fantasy Fiction Podcast? http://fantasyficpod.tumblr.com/ geometry dash liteThis is my first time listening to a Fantasy Fiction Podcast. It's full of ridiculous stories and I don't like topics like this.
It's full of ridiculous, irreverent, hilarious, usually vulgar stories in a fantasy setting.
I just wanted to know whether anyone else is into this, and what your thoughts were.
This is one of my favorite CSE Cooney stories, and you guys did a fantastic job with it. The dual narration was perfect, what a great touch! my location

Sperm whale tooth, lampblack
The first scene depicted is the whaling ship Henry Charles Morgan, beset by a storm. The waves are stylized curls, the wind traced as spirals battering the masts and tearing the sails. A series of dots arranged diagonally across the image stand in for rain. The lampblack is worked most deeply into the ocean bearing the ship up and tossing it around. The ship itself is second in darkness, with the spirals of wind touched most lightly, giving them a ghostly feel. Spaces of blankness within the waves suggest the presence of hands, shapes of absence rather than definitively carved things. It is possible the artist meant to metaphorically represent the storm, the ocean as a malignant force actively trying to pull the whalers from the ship and cause them to drown.
