Storm God Rising
Edited by Richard Salter and Jason A. Miller
A History of the Project by Rich Salter
Storm God Rising was compiled over a period of several months in 1994
in response to the publication of Stammers and Walker's Decalog by
Virgin Publishing. We decided we on the net could do something
similar, and so Jason and I set about creating a theme and compiling
entries from the net. It was intended for publishing, but Virgin
rejected it, despite Daniel Blythe, Kate Orman and Craig Hinton
agreeing to contribute had we been accepted. Thus, Storm God Rising
now appears on-line for all to enjoy for free.
The collection deals with the Doctor's encounters with Achmael, a
Storm-Demon, who begins life as a violent but naive creature, eager to
hate and destroy. He grows, and matures as his life goes on, and
slowly becomes an altogether more dangerous adversary for the Doctor.
The tale of Achmael's life begins at The Beginning, in a story I wrote
to start off the other contributors. It also formed part of our
original submission to Virgin Publishing. Looking back on it now it's
not that surprising they rejected it, but it was certainly fun to write.
