BOPPIN's Monthly Day Off

Once a month, Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) calls an all-too-brief ceasefire in its kamikaze commitment to daily public posting, and instead preps a private post shared only with its cherished paid patrons.

This month's private post for patrons is a brand-new short story, "You Will Be Judged By The Hearts You Broke." This story was written very quickly, and its idea first occurred to me just a few days ago. As I write this, it's awaiting one final edit before I declare it complete. It won't be posted on the blog any time soon, and it doesn't feel like something I'd offer to my friends at AHOY Comics. Its first public appearance will likely be in my proposed short story anthology Guitars Vs Rayguns!! Short Stories And Other White Lies, which I hope to publish in the first half of 2026. The story's only immediate audience will be my paid patrons.

Wanna be one of those patrons? You can join those hallowed ranks for a mere $3 a month, and membership in that little club gets you one private post each 'n' every month: Fund me, baby!

My new short story "You Will Be Judged By The Hearts You Broke" will post to patrons on Wednesday. Regular public posting will also resume here tomorrow.
