Wizard: automatic fiction in nineteen parts (so far) by Greg Bunch. New installments sporadically appear here.

Third sentence on the site:I call it automatic fiction because I don't edit it before I post it.
Reading for content is hard, kids. Don't do it without adult supervision!

Awww, poor dude.
You may want to hurry up if you're contemplating whether or not to click through and read the entries.

I'll be very surprised if he deletes any installments of the story. I did ask his permission before posting the link here. Dude's a friend of mine.
Automatic or not, it's the beginnings of a very good story, if you care to read on.

I'm sorry I don't have anything interesting to contribute, but man does Courier render poorly in just about every browser. I suggest Courier New.

I'm pretty sure the guidelines say not to link to friends' sites.

Shit. You're right. How did I not know that?
Apologies. I meant no harm, only to share what I thought was some good writing with readers of the blue.
Admins, do as you please.

That shit is not automatic. He's totally writing that shit himself. Man, fucking bullshit artists on the web.

Am I the only one who thought, based on the headline, that this would be about D&D?

So automatic fiction is a fancy way of saying he's posting it unedited? Wow, self-aggrandizement much?

I really was too busy this last week to write anything and will be so through at least Tuesday as some things get put together for a friend to take on the road as it were.
Isn't the idea behind automatic fiction that you don't actually write the thing? You write the algorithms that write it? How then is this an automatic fiction?

Based on the headline, I was kind of expecting the KKK kind of wizard.
