Working on new surrealist sci-fi story

I'm currently working on an aleternate history of England, where the Nazis successfully invade England in the 1940's and capture the Inklings writing group. Tolkien and Lewis are executed in the story, but without giving into the ubermensches of the Reich. At the end of the story, the Nazis find a graveyard of centaurs and fauns and can not explain where the skeletons came from. Anyway, that's my idea. Tell me what you think.

C.S. Lewis: Reappraisal

I'm going through C.S. Lewis's letters right now, and frankly I find myself appalled at some of the things Lewis said. Lewis seemed to have a fairly virulent dislike of homosexuals, which was only matched by his disdain for communists and the laboring classes. I do understand that Lewis was tormented, possibly in homerotic ways, in his British boarding school experience, and frankly I would not be surprised if Lewis struggled with some sense of sadism or homoeroticism himself (not that I'm equating homosexuality with sadism, just saying Lewis might have.). But I don't think there's a similar excuse for his position on labor.
I'm going to an Episcopal church right now, and so you'd think I would feel closer to Lewis than I did before. And I still do have a certain fascination with the Inklings' charm. Whatever one might say about them, they were great novelists. But I can't escape the feeling that Narnia and Middle Earth were corrupted in some sense, by the very real prejudices Tolkien and Lewis exhibited in their works.

Inklings article done

I just submitted an article to Mythlore on the Inklings, focusing on the graphic novel Heaven's War and James Owen's Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica. Basically, I'm talking about the mythopoeic elements in both works, as they relate to the Inklings. Wish me luck with this one guys. It's the fourth essay I've sent out (I've had one accepted and I'm waiting on an answer for the other two).

Ray Bradbury, Madeleine L'Engle featured in Imaginarium Geographica?

If you haven't picked it up, I highly encourage you guys to check out the Imaginarium Geographica, which features Jules Verne, C.S. Lewis, H.G. Wells, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams as characters. I may be reading into things, but I'm pretty sure the authors of the series also wants to introduce Madeleine L'Engle, Ray Bradbury, and perhaps Lloyd Alexander as well. It's a highly entertaining romp that is surprisingly philosophical for a children's series, as well as an excellent pastiche.Take care! I'll try to post more sometime later this week. Sorry about there being no posts yesterday. I was getting an article ready for publication.

Inklings Fiction Call Out

Hey guys, I just wanted to send a call out to anyone who knows of fiction written about the Inklings. Note, about the Inklings, not by the Inklings. I am currently writing a paper on the Inklings (Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, etc.), so any recommendations would be most welcome. I hope to share the paper with you guys once I get it published. Like any former evangelical, I hope to eventually write a novel about the Inklings, albeit somewhat more critical than the standard evangelical text.
