Y is for Your Feedback

I’ve been talking for 24 letters and 7 months now about myself and the things that are important to me. Before I get to the end, I thought it would be fun to leave my own opinions to one side and focus on what other people say about me. This is open to feedback too, from […]

Rewatching Blake’s 7 – Season 2, Episode 5

After a summer consumed almost entirely by my return to Twin Peaks, and after my trip to the UK Fest last weekend, I decided to get back to something I’ve left alone for quite some time: Blake’s 7. Over the past few months, however, I’ve gathered a few more followers. It seems only fitting that […]

Twin Peaks UK Festival 2017 in pictures

They say never meet your heroes. So why is it that every time I meet people from the world of Twin Peaks, they turn out to be lovely, genuine people. It’s been the case every time I’ve attended the UK event. For me, it started with Sheryl Lee and Dana Ashbriook in 2014, continued with […]

X is for Xenodochium

What do you mean, you don’t know what it is? It’s a guesthouse or hostel, or any similar stopping place for travellers or pilgrims. It’s a bit of a stretch, but X is going to be all about the best hotels and hostels that I’ve ever stayed in. Each one has a story to go […]

I’ll See You in the Trees – Part 3

Hi there, Well, here we are: the final part of my short story. If you’ve come back for more, I can only assume that you enjoyed part 1 and 2. Either that or it’s like a car accident that you can’t turn away from. I just have to repeat a few words before we start. If […]

Twin Peaks UK Festival – Day 1

Hi there, Here’s an update from the Twin Peaks UK festival. I had a chat with Cameron at Obnoxious and Anonymous about some of the stuff that’s going on. Including lots of donuts. Better photos are coming. They’re on my decent camera. Also, Amy Shiels liked my story!

I’ll See You in the Trees – Part 2

Hi there, Welcome to Part 2. If you haven’t read Part 1 yet, go read it first. It’s here: https://richardaustinwriter.com/2017/10/06/ill-see-you-in-the-trees-part-1/ I’ve never written fanfiction before. I’ve never had the motivation. After the great summer I’ve had thanks to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s fantastic creation, however, I just wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the […]

I’ll See You in the Trees – Part 1

Hi there, I’ve never written fanfiction before. I’ve never had the motivation. After the great summer I’ve had thanks to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s fantastic creation, however, I just wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the world of Twin Peaks. I came up with an idea for a short story about something that might […]

W is for Writing

When I started this website, I think one of the first things I wrote was about my life with science fiction and what I used to read and write about when I was young. I used to love writing stories when I was young. They were usually based on something I’d read or seen on […]

V is for Vampires (and Val)

I know, the picture above is not a vampire. It’s James Mason. He’s playing Mr Straker in Salem’s Lot. I just couldn’t resist having James Mason up front. So, here’s V, and this might end up reading a little bit more like one of my Taste of Cinema articles, although I’m allowed to give my […]
