Benje dit Bellefleur loves good humor, maple trees, and Realism Invictus. He is our lead contributor, drafting weekly installments of "The Agoraphobist" through the first weekend of advent. Reach out at the contact page to sign up for our newsletter and get early snapshots. (The completed work will be released on Dec. 1 as our debut novella.) [UPDATE: dit Bellefleur will not be writing this novella until he goes on leave from RTC comp (sometime in December). He aims to finish it in time for his return Feb. 15.]
C. S. Grupe is our beloved side-kick: part publishing assistant, part chameleon, responsible for everything from basic document processing to keeping our detractors in line. Grupe owns an 80% share of Loui Bonaparte, Cavalier Spaniel and Grupe's own personal daemon (a la Pullman's universe). The rest of Loui is owned by Meghan Bonneville.
[NOT YET NAMED] is not actually contributing a submission (as far as we know). We list her here as a token of our respect.
Howard Atkinson showed up briefly in Erie, PA exactly two years ago and disappeared almost as quickly, but not before attempting to steal a Roma tomato from Walmart. He paid only 19 decimultiples restitution and then, to top it all off, broke parole (by ceasing to exist). Although he clearly does not understand the meaning of the law, we will probably still publish his submission if he (a) reappears somewhere, anywhere, other than Erie, Pennsylvania; (b) convinces the poor-hearted library staffperson to still give him more than one hour on the computer despite defaming her and without reentering Erie, Pennsylvania; and (c) sends us a manuscript NOT lifted shamelessly from Victor Hugo, that we are able to irrefutably document was not written at a library in Erie, Pennsylvania.
The Drunkard. Well, his name pretty much says it all. Drunkenness is a good cover for insanity.
Phillip Bonneville, grandson of the infamous Gerard Bonneville (from Pullman's La Belle Sauvage), is a toddler with a temper. Never satisfied with the limitations of not being his own legal guardian, lil' Phil has been known to cast whole universes into the void... just for the heck of it. He has sent us numerous submissions, but they were all AI-generated. Regrettably, because he has technically met our publishing requirements, we are contractually obliged to list his name here (though we are keeping his workmanship in a perpetual state of "review"). Three pro tips for spotting his new top alias at a distance: (I) His mother is known to have prayed the prayer of 1 Sam. 1 ahead of his birth. Oops. (II) His first crush was named after one of the Fruits of the Spirit, which made poor lil' Phil blaspheme the Holy Spirit before he turned 1 year old. Ouch. (III) He wishes his last name were more... common. Forgery? Family.*
