The lovely and wise JayEm has gathered up some of my stories and put them into a zine with some outstanding artwork! It's The Ascended Archaeologist Series (plus), all in one place. Please take a look at it and all the other zines available on the Ancient's Gate website. Description and link below:

First in a set of zines by Marzipan77. A premier author of stories in many different fandoms with a great wit, tight plots, and a gift for language that draws you into a story and keeps you riveted until the inevitably satisfying payoff at the end. This group of stories originates with Ascended (TM) Daniel and his adventures while a resident of the higher plane. It spans universes as diverse as NCIS to Torchwood to HP and even the A Team. I hope you enjoy.

Daniel Jackson has ascended - now what? The Others have agreed to allow Daniel to visit other realities, other universes, on a quest to balance his own soul. Daniel wants to make a difference - and there are plenty of people out there who could use his help. Thankfully, the Others are willing to come along for the ride.

11 pt Book Antiqua, with .50 margins. 142 pages, 65775 words. Art by JayEm.

Challenge #12

In your own space, tell us who you would recast in a film, tv series or webseries, or maybe someone voicing a cartoon or videogame. Or who would you cast to play a character in a book, comic or maybe even your own fiction! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Does Michael Shanks count? Because I would have totally cast him in any number of tv shows and movies over the years. He's a stand-out actor, people! Just because he did sci-fi and is Canadian doesn't mean he's B list! I'd have liked to have seen him play a vampire. Or the president. Can you imagine Air Force One with MS instead of Harrison Ford? Yes, please.

Anywho, making "face claims" for my original fiction is common for me. I take an actor, an athlete, or an interesting person I've seen and use their physical characteristics for one of my characters. It makes it much simpler to describe them if I have an actual face to work from.

Beyond that, two of my characters are definitely Jack and Daniel from Stargate Sg-1. Or how I think they might act in a different world.

Barca - nickname "The General" - short silver hair, dark eyes, sharp and decisive and protective of his people. Strategist. Can be ruthless.
Fabius - nickname "The Seer" - brown hair and blue eyes, insightful, gifted, empathetic. He'll stand between someone and a staff blast if you know what I mean.

These two come as a pair in my writerly brain.
