Short stories


Ok, I'm STILL not happy nor finished with a short story dealing with Krampus I starts LAST YEAR prior before seeing the movie. So many scene I have almost mirror the movie now that I've seen it, but not really... My short story deals with a family in a large historic home where... well I don't want to say too much in case I ever get to put it online for sell. And if I do it would be CHEAP! Anyway... after seeing the movie multiple times since that rabid Easter bunny came and saw us and left us the Blu Ray of Krampus...

I've recently come up with ANOTHER Krampus story. This one really has NOTHING to do with this movie. I'll just say... Santa is NOT the jovial character we see ALL the time... one of his workers gets loose and makes it back home... and where/how he GETS his workers involves Krampus (already said too much...) and well... if I EVER get the time to write/type it all down and make a decent story out of it, it should be MUCH better than the silly somewhat spiritual short story I've pretty much already written.

I'm still debating about putting the first story out yet, since I can always update any additions/corrections at any time... I guess I could... I'll admit it's not very good, it's 'ok' and a fun and easy read. I guess. There's one conversation I need to add in to actually explain everything a little better. And I'm always adding descriptions and correcting some minor continuities errors too. Unfortunately there's flatulent jokes... well, not JOKES, just a character that keeps breaking wind almost uncontrollably, that everyone continues to complain about. So yeah, it's pretty stupid... and I interject Christianity which some might not like (in a very unlikely/impossible way - akin to magic only because of what night it is...)... but there it is.

I can 'see' it... but trying to write it all down has been... interesting and someone re-educating me somewhat too. (Never did well with creative writing nor writing in general. My Krampus is a standard looking Krampus.... thing just wearing a cape/robe sort of thing... (think Alucard with horns I guess...). Though what the Grandfather calls it... will have you running to the internet to look up what heck he's talking about if you're younger than say... 40 or so. I like the story I cooked up ok... it has an odd and unique charm even if it reads a bit uneven.

So anyone have any fan fiction ideas based on the movie or simply something brand new to the table concerning Krampus at all?
