Another day of cool freebies, and even though it has been a rough week here at QD (too little time and too much fatigue), the freebies must go on.Some cool free fiction, including two complete 'zines and an Electric Velocipede classic. Continuing serial fiction by greats Jeff VanderMeer and Robert E. Vardeman. The start of an audio serial at StarShipSofa by also great Rachel Swirsky and a continuing one by Jules Verne (I think I might have heard of him) and Star Trek fan audio. And for the icing on the cake - some very fun classic comics.
Today's illustration is from "Plow and Sword" in the fiction section.

Serial Fiction
@Author's Site: "The Journals of Doctor Mormeck (Mountain)–Entry #12" by Jeff VanderMeer.
"Everything that rises must resolve. But when I drift, I drift, and a mountain can drift for a long time. A mountain can drift and still function. This language cannot convey the concept so I must repeat, must keep trying in different ways. I drift, I resolve, I fold inward while turning outward. No, it’s no use."@Paizo.com: Pathfinder Tales "Plow and Sword - Chapter Two: The Lord's Due" by Robert E. Vardeman
"Rorr exploded through the wall of flames and stumbled past, finding relative cool beyond. The fire arrow had not yet spread its fury deeper into the granary, but he knew that the building and its grain stores were already far past saving."
Serial Audio
@StarShipSofa: "The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers Beneath The Queen’s Window Pt 1 of 3" by Rachel Swirsky, read by Amy H. Sturgis.
"My story should have ended on the day I died. Instead, it began there. Sun pounded on my back as I rode through the Mountains where the Sun Rests. My horse’s hooves beat in syncopation with those of the donkey that trotted in our shadow. The queen’s midget Kyan turned his head toward me, sweat dripping down the red-and-blue protections painted across his malformed brow."@Drama Pod: Journey to the Centre of the Earth - Part Fifteen by Jules Verne
