Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #16 – Manuscript found at -85.517813, 97.356019

Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: The author of this piece respectfully declined the opportunity to post an author comment or biography, preferring the work to stand on its own. So it is presented here as authored by “Anon”. A uniquely hard-edged look at a possible envisioned end to Doc’s career. AdditionalContinue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #16 – Manuscript found at -85.517813, 97.356019”

Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #14 – The Shy Man

Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: Leslie is an old comrade of mine from my days writing erotic thrillers — it was interesting to see that given total freedom of content here, she chose to dial down the intense erotic content of that genre of fiction. Instead, she has approached the topicContinue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #14 – The Shy Man”

Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #13 – Forged in Bronze

Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: Scott Cranford brings us another look at a younger James Talos, with a look at the crucible within which the most enduring metal can be forged, both inside and outside. Comment from author Scott Cranford: I’ve been a Doc Savage fan since I was twelve yearsContinue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #13 – Forged in Bronze”

Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #12 – There is a Perfection

Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: A fascinating piece of pastiche detective work by Joan Lee, who links the notorious stories and poems by Anais Nin, Henry Miller and George Barker, commissioned privately in the 1940’s by an individual known to them as “The Collector” (later revealed to be Oklahoma oil manContinue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #12 – There is a Perfection”

Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #11 – Daughter of the King

Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: When I invited short story author Marissa Sarno to take part in the contest, she expressed two wishes: one, to write something that would potentially fit with existing Doc Talos canon, and — after reading the Princess Monja posts here on the Forbidden Pulp blog —Continue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #11 – Daughter of the King”

Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #10 – In Cold Blood

Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: Dick Lawrence’s meeting between James Talos and author Truman Capote — an interlude discussing subtleties of crime and emotion, is one of the more unique takes I’ve seen on the concept of Doc’s “crime college”. No answers are forthcoming at the end of the short tale,Continue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #10 – In Cold Blood”

Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #9 – The Professor

Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: Daryl Morrissey, creator of the huge Refractions in Bronze project, displays his virtuosity in the world of a renowned 20th century adventurer, as well as his fascination for the untold stories from the youth of the man who would come to be known as Doc. InContinue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #9 – The Professor”

Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #6 – Esperanza

Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: Grace Ximenez is something of a celebrity in adventurous corners of the internet — she has, for the past ten years or so, run a highly successful adult fantasy/peril forum, which is filled not only with roleplayers, but writers, artists, and filmmakers. She has authored independentContinue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #6 – Esperanza”

Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #5 – Silver Legacy

Note from Doc Talos author/contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: Atom Mudman Bezecny’s story is an ambitious weaving of elements from across a spectrum of Doc Savage works. She blends the pulp and comic worlds, and infuses them with a powerful explicit tone of eros/thanatos in the style of A Feast Unknown. The result is aContinue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest Entry #5 – Silver Legacy”

Talos Fan Fiction Contest WINNER – Man of Tomorrow

Note from Doc Talos author and contest judge R. Paul Sardanas: There was always something special about Doc’s small humanitarian gestures. The globe-spanning adventures were breathtaking, but he would also never fail to take the time for simple acts of caring. The recipient in Don Murphy’s tale of a very different Maximus the World’s FairContinue reading “Talos Fan Fiction Contest WINNER – Man of Tomorrow”
