Batman Batmobile Hotwheels Shorts and Reels No. 7
Though I’ve expanded my hotwheels passion to other types of cars (namely muscle ones), below are some more shorts and reels showcasing the various batmobiles in my hotwheels collection. I especially dig the chrome one.

The Great Patreon Dilemma
The Great Patreon Dilemma
As you know, I once had a Patreon page. With it, I’d air articles and essays, behind-the-scenes stuff, serialized novels, and exclusive stuff for my patrons. The problem was, for the amount of work I was putting in, it didn’t do well monetarily, so I shut it down as I was basically making a buck an hour working on it.
However, and in a bit of a dilemma, I’m thinking of bringing my Patreon page back but under a new, simpler model.
It would basically be this to start and, no doubt, would evolve over time.
Two tiers:
1) A mere tip jar for a buck. Just a simple way of saying thanks for all the content.
2) 5 bucks flat fee per month. This would get you everything I share publicly plus content just for patrons, like a serialized novel, one to be read before anybody else.
That’s it. The content would be regular as I’m producing stuff all the time, but by sharing it behind a Patreon paywall, then I get something out of it too, and also have an avenue to share stuff I don’t share with the general public. This could be special videos, special commentary, special thoughts, excerpts of my work, and more.
I still have my page but it’s inactive at the moment. I just need to flick the switch and under this new model, folks would have a chance to check out all the back-content plus the new stuff to come.
It’s not a question of if this will happen. It’s a question of when.
My only fear is it’ll flop again. But maybe not. I do know I can make it work. Just need to give it some time to grow.
We’ll see.
The Canister X Transmission: Good to be Back
It’s been two issues since THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION went on a temporary hiatus . . . for a long time. It was needed. Not so much a break from the newsletter itself, but a break from the writing world in general. But now I’m back and am feeding you words every day. Videos, too, but those are fun.
THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: YEAR FOUR and THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE LONG YEAR FIVE are at the printer’s and distribution is already underway. Since it’s not fully underway, I haven’t officially launched the books, but I will. Soon.
People might wonder, “Why should I buy these collections, even a cheap eBook, when I get them in my inbox every Saturday?” Good question and a fair one. My answer is two: 1) You get a bonus issue in each collection, one not available anywhere else so if you enjoy the newsletter, it’s something extra for you. 2) It’s a way to show support for free content. Three bucks for the eBook where all issues are in one place and you don’t need an internet connection to read them. Sort of a way of putting a few bucks in a busker’s guitar case, if you want to look at it that way.
Anyway, more issues to come. More content to come. More [hopefully] amusing items to read.
Besides, you get my killer clown novelette free as a thank you for subscribing. Funnily enough, the same question about the collected editions of the newsletter can be asked for THE DANCE OF MERVO AND FATHER CLOWN. But my answer is the same: Supporting free content and supporting the creator who made it for you.
But enough about sales. It feels good to be writing THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION again. It’s sort of a way to air out my head plus also introduce you to stuff that you might’ve missed during the week. You can read over two hundred back issues for free here.
Speaking of which, I don’t post every video I make to my blog. Lots of shorts and reels go out during the week so to ensure you get them, head on over to YouTube or TikTok and follow along. This way you won’t miss anything video-related.
Crap. I did it again, didn’t I? Just pitched you on something. Bad habit.
ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY is about to enter the editing stage so I can make my end-of-October deadline for release. I’ve been through the book a few times already, just not the new stuff I wrote to complete it. It will be an easy edit for both myself and my editor. Then it goes into production and the cover is made and ta da! Book.
Hope you check it out once it’s released. I’ll be making a big stink about it so you’ll probably hear about it somehow.
Anyway, time to get back to work.
Enjoy your day.
One step at a time.

1988 Burger King Justice League Cups
1988 Burger King Justice League Cups
I had these toys when I was a kid and they were the successors to my worn-out Super Powers action figure versions. Burger King did a good job with DC in terms of the characters chosen. You have the main three: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, and then the main bad guy, Darkseid.
These aren’t the originals I owned. These were bought a comic con when I was shocked to see them at a dealer’s table. Had to have them. They have a special spot in my superhero collection because they’re a piece of my childhood.

Axiom-man: Doorway of Darkness Book Spotlight
Axiom-man: Doorway of Darkness Book Spotlight
One night Gabriel Garrison was visited by a nameless messenger who bestowed upon him great power, a power intended for good. Once discovering what this power was and what it enabled him to do, Gabriel became Axiom-man, a symbol of hope in a city that had none.
A mysterious anonymous letter promises to reveal he is Axiom-man unless he bows down to the sender’s demands.
And the timing cannot have been worse.
Redsaw has become more powerful than when Axiom-man battled him on what has become known as Black Saturday, and he has determined to attain unstoppable power through the only means he knows how: murder.
Chaos ensues and as the air is saturated with the stench of blood, Axiom-man must find the means to stop Redsaw before the whole world is swallowed in a web of death.
Complicating matters, something strange is happening to Axiom-man’s powers. The abilities he has put his faith in have changed.
As time runs out and city streets are overrun with carnage and fear, Axiom-man is pushed to his breaking point as he tries to stop the madman’s reign of terror, while also trying to discover what is happening to his powers and how they tie into a supernatural event that took place over five hundred years before.

Batman Batmobile Hotwheels Shorts and Reels No. 6
Some people prefer watching shorts and reels to longer videos so that is why I am posting my hotwheels shorts via blog entries here.
These are cool cars. Imagine them life-sized? I mean, not the ones we’ve seen in live action already, but the animated ones? Now THAT would be cool!

Status Report – 091823
Status Report – 091823:
It’s official. It’s done. As per this blog entry, ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY is complete. See the entry for the next steps in the process.
Also what’s done is THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: YEAR FOUR and THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE LONG YEAR FIVE. Those went off to press late last week. Now it’s just an issue of the printer processing the files, sending me a proof, me approving it then getting it into distribution. Like the other collected editions, they will be available in paperback and eBook and contain a bonus issue of the newsletter exclusive to those collections.
We’re programmed until the end of November thus far in terms of Book Spotlight Videos and the REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME podcast. Other stuff is complete behind the scenes but not uploaded yet.
For those who missed it, THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION newsletter is back. The new issue went out this past Saturday. Subscribe here for this Saturday’s issue.
Other than that, I’m pleased that I finally was able to share the FREDRIKUS animated short with you. I’ve been wanting to for the past couple of years but needed the adapter to connect my very old VCR to my also-old computer. I finally got one and the video was shared. There was some additional brief animation on the reel as well along with a few pieces of artwork. I’m not sure if I’ll upload it or not. I’ll have to think of a way to make it longer because the segments of animation and the few pics last all of twenty seconds. But they’re cool pics. Three-point perspective, some modern, some sci-fi.
We’ll see.
Anyway, I’m pretty tired and I still have work to do.
A.P. Fuchs signing off.
Peace.

Zomtropolis is Finished
On Sunday, I finally finished writing ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY.
It is a study on heartbreak, zombies, a broken post-apocalyptic metropolis, and a man descending into madness where the line between what’s real and what isn’t has become blurred.
Next steps:
Here’s a clip I recorded Sunday, tired and haggard a very short while after finishing the book.
Thanks for watching this old dog talk about his accomplishment. To watch more, please subscribe here.
While we wait for ZOMTROPOLIS, why not check out my other stand-alone zombie book, ZOMBIE FIGHT NIGHT: BATTLES OF THE DEAD? Great reviews. Everything awesome between two covers.
