The first-ever 7th Son fanfic!

March 29, 2006 in All Posts, Gratitude with 0 Comments

7th Son fans are the coolest people in the world. Just check out this flash fanfic sent to me by WarHamster40k, a listener with a wicked sense of humor. Consider this a “deleted scene” from Chapter 6, when the clones stared out at the mammoth MemR/I Array hypercomputer system….

Kilroy 2.0 gazed at the gargantuan holder of zeroes and ones that housed the first 14 years of his life, of their lives. He turned to Dr. Kleinman and asked: “Please tell me this doesn’t run Windows.”

The doctor stopped, wondering if he heard what he thought he did. “Of course not,” Kleinman immediately replied. It was too soon for them contemplate the concept of having a folder marked ‘Solitaire’ buried in their subconscious.

“One day at a time,” Kleinman thought, as they moved on.

Hah! Brilliant! Thanks so much, WarHamster40k, for the support … and for this wily fanfic!

In the past week-and-a-half, gobs of podcasts have played 7th Son promos or bumpers — and I’m grinnin’ like the cat that ate the canary! Dig this list of podcasts that have supported 7th Son:

Now THAT’S an epic list of propagandy goodness! If you’re enjoying 7th Son, your tastes might be compatible with some of these shows … so be a sport and click a few links, to see what they’re all about.

But before you do, feast your peepers on this 7th Son-related quote from TWiG, the co-host of the Audio Pandemic podcast. He recently talked about the novel on his show, and raved:

“I am so glad that I heard about this before it was all over. … Man, I’ve listened to the first couple chapters, and it’s frickin’ awesome! … Just listen to the first few words of the first chapter, and I swear you’ll be enthralled in that story.”

Thanks, TWiG, for the review! And 7th Son listeners: Thank you so much for staying subscribed and spreading the word about the novel. Chapter 7′s coming next Tuesday, so watch your podcatcher for more info!
