Also, it should be noted that it was 92 degrees today without a cloud in the sky so there was no chance he was using the umbrella as... well, an umbrella.

I kind of like her but she demonstrates the 'umbrella' aspect of the Samurai Umbrella.

There's a nice collection of fedora-wearers where I live, but somehow I never have my cellphone with me when I see them out and about. One guy even has an umbrella that has, I kind you not, a handle that resembles a sword hilt, and a back-sheath. So he can carry his umbrella on his back and pretend it is a sword, I guess.

Fake edit: found it. Think Geek, of course. The customer images are a goldmine.

I know it was posted earlier in the thread, but can someone repost the videos of the guy who thinks he can stop gunmen with his sword?

THE BLACK VAMPIRE PROJECT: BIRTH OF A DARK NATION

African Vampires come to America during the transatlantic slave trade!

My name is Rashid Darden. In 2012, I was the Director of Development at a Washington nonprofit organization. After 11 years in the nonprofit sector, I decided it was time to stop being miserable and start fulfilling my destiny.

I quit my day job to invest in my career as a novelist.

Now, in 2013, I have written a novel in a new genre. I have created a world in which African vampires have come to America during the transatlantic slave trade and have been imbedded in the New World since colonial days.

I’m no stranger to writing. While an undergrad at Georgetown, I wrote my first play and participated in poetry readings on and off-campus. Over the next several years, I wrote and independently published three novels and a book of poetry: Lazarus, Covenant, Epiphany, and The Life and Death of Savion Cortez. Each of my books averages no less than 4.8 of five stars on Amazon! You can find out more about my career so far at https://www.oldgoldsoul.com and https://www.rashiddarden.com.

Your investment will help me publish and raise awareness of this novel. It will also help me to inspire the next generation of novelists.

My goal is significant, but realistic: $3890

$220 for the cover designer, Charlis Foster, who has provided an extraordinary discount for services which could easily be over four figures.

$413 for greatly reduced copyediting and editorial development fees.

$220 for printing and postage of promotional postcards.

$606 for printing of review copies.

$616 for shipping costs of review copies.

$1815 for travel and lodging for free writing workshops at 20 colleges and universities.

Birth of a Dark Nation posted:

Justin tensed up and peered out of the window. A uniformed security guard and another woman walked out of the house. The small white woman wore a long black coat, a Baltimore Orioles baseball cap, and ear buds in her ears. She locked the door behind her. The guard got into the company issued sedan and sped off. The woman got on a bicycle and rolled by us at a moderate pace.

“Follow her,” I ordered.

“I got this,” he snapped back. He made a quick U-turn and stayed about half a block behind the woman as she pedaled through the neighborhood. She never looked back once.

We followed her through Rock Creek Park as she neared Georgia Avenue, pedaling slightly harder and slightly faster.

“She made us,” I said.

“I think so, too,” Justin said. He accelerated as she sped across Georgia Avenue onto Missouri, pedaling furiously.

“She’s gonna make that left on Fifth Street,” Dante said.

“I know,” Justin replied. “Relax, we’re in my territory now.”

Justin was right behind her as she turned onto Fifth Street. She pedaled as fast as a superhuman could and we were on her tail. We both ran through red lights.

Justin’s fangs began to elongate as he concentrated on the road.

“You hop out as soon as I go past her,” he instructed.

“What?!” Dante and I said in unison.

“You hop out of this truck as soon as I pass her!”

“That’s crazy!” I said.

Justin ignored us and put his pedal to the metal just as we reached Coolidge High School, a large colonial style building with red brick and slanted green roofs. A huge, modern gymnasium was attached to the building on its far side.

We passed the woman just on the other side of Coolidge and she hopped off her bike, running through the parkland next to the gym.

“Get her, bitch!” Justin screamed at me.

Without argument, Dante and I bailed from the truck and hit the ground, tumbling a few times but hopping right back up in pursuit of the vampire. Justin sped off down the street. Our stakes were in our hands, ready for action.

If you ever looked at the old PYF thing to mock on the internet thread, you might remember the Arkh Project. If not, it's an indie video game development project that supposedly "focuses on queer people and people of color as main characters... made by queer artists and programmers, and PoC artists and programmers, supporting them in their craft amongst an industry that discourages them from applying," but it is actually a scam with traced concept art that has taken thousands from naive SJWs on Tumblr.

Well to no one's surprise the Arkh Project still has nothing to show beyond concept art over a year after they achieved funding. In lieu of actual progress, the official blog has become the dumping ground for a bunch of Kickstarters and Tumblr "signal boosts", all begging the few fans the Arkh Project still has left for even more money. An example:


Oh? What do his other books look like?
