The Portland Food Pyramid

A cautionary tale: this is what happens when you spend too much time on social media. On Thursday, I tweeted about my lunch at Burgerville. Technically, I guess it was a sub-sub-tweet, since I didn’t mention the name of the…

It was beautiful and awe-inspiring, and I hope to see more space flights soon. Our future is up there. Whether or not you believe all the #JourneyToMars hype, no matter how critical you might be of the Space Launch System…

I Have Anger Issues…

…and I love Superman. Those two things are related. Let me explain. Last Saturday, I rewatched Man of Steel, because why not. And it turned out to be a more enjoyable film on the second viewing, partly because I knew…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Thrilling Heroics”

Curtis Chen
July 27, 2012

For the record, I imagine Dyna-Gent’s costume as a cross between Black Lightning‘s and Union Jack‘s jumpsuits… plus a bowler hat. Also, this is my 200th 512 story. I guess that’s something of a milestone. Hooray, Zoidberg, etc. Finally, on…

Against my own expectations, I appear to have won an actual writing competition: Since this is probably the closest I’ll ever come to actually getting this show produced, I am definitely going to attend the table read next month. I…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Faster”

Curtis Chen
May 20, 2011
0

Trying something a little different here: inspired by last week’s story, “Fearless,” and driven by a compulsion to write superhero serials, I’m going to fill out that world by building a whole team of reluctant crime-fighters. You’ve already met Alex,…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Fearless”

Curtis Chen
May 13, 2011

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! If this week’s story seems familiar–perhaps even thematically identical to 2009’s “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”–it’s probably because I tend to write the same characters over and over again–basically super-powered police officers. Speaking of which,…

Friday Flash Fiction: “It’s Better to be Lucky”

Curtis Chen
March 18, 2011

If this week’s story doesn’t make a lot of sense, it’s because I had to cut out the first scene–which set up the whole bad situation–for length. I apologize for any confusion. You should really just be reading Scalped anyway….
