2024-08-04 13:09:15If you listened to yesterday’s podcast about Dragon’s, Plato, and Socrates, you know that I’m starting up another Flash Fiction Marathon. Starting August 1st, I will be doing a flash fiction podcast a day for 30 days, just like I did 29 in February. I hope you will subscribe and join me for this challenge.
Ovals is a series that came out of Flash Fiction. I’m going to be tightening it up and making it a separate podcast. This is something that can happen with Flash Fiction. I think of Flash Fiction as pressing one’s subconscious into duty.
What is OVALS? It’s the tic-tacs the flyers saw over San Diego.

I’m not going to go into a lot of detail about what the OVALS are, how they were created, and the roles they serve. I want you to listen to the series, so I’m not going to get all into it here. There are two different types, and it has turned out to be a pretty fun story. FF s good for that. Sometimes things come up that you want to develop and run with, so, this is the OVALS series.
This is something that would make a great TV show, or maybe a movie, I’d love that, of course. The first episode is the pilot. It will tell you everything you need to know.
I have a villain now. That will be introduced in the second episode, which is really the 9th one that I’ve done, but I need to introduce the villain origin. It’s not really a villain, it’s just a rule breaker, that continues to do things that piss people off, but it is a villain in a sense, I think. Regardless, once you have a character like this, that’s when you have a real story. That’s when you have a real series.
You can find all my stuff, my FF, my other developing series, and all my weird thinking at my Substack. Substack is like a workspace, it’s a lot of finished ideas, unfinished ideas, dead ideas, and notes. That’s what it is for me. I hope you’ll be interested in getting yourself a paid subscription to my ‘stack so you can see all the old work I’ve done. But if you want to see all the fresh stuff, that costs nothing at all. Good for you. You’re welcome.
Again. There are a lot of things I have to get tightened up to make it a cohesive series. But the core concept is unique, and now, there is a villain, and it will have an origin story. But the biggest clue, is that Ovaling is a preferred state. There is your big tease.
What I’ve done below here is to give you the old podcast version of what will be the pilot of the OVALS series. It explains all the important, unique details about what they are. I un-paywalled it so you can listen for free.
