Don Jolly is a writer. He starts online projects and then pathologically deletes them when they get about a thousand followers. His publications have been primarily belletristic. These include:

• A Column Called “The Last Twentieth Century Book Club” covering various religious ephemera such as L. Ron Hubbard’s jazz record and Salem Kirban’s rapture novel “666.” Appeared on the Revealer Magazine. Ran for a year. Don wrote a lot of book and T.V. reviews for this same site.
• Two articles for PENTHOUSE magazine (June and November 2015). One about the internet comedy troupe Million Dollar Extreme and one about print pornography.
• A scholarly article on the role of sexual identity in the reasons Scientologists leave the church, published initially in a journal and collected in the Brill Handbook of Scientology. Don never got his author copy because it was published when he didn’t have a permanent address.
• “Two Days in Cross Plains,” an essay for the Los Angeles Review of Books about a trip to Robert E. Howard’s hometown and the people from Niantic labs trying to turn it into a disturbing virtual reality landmark.
• An essay appearing in the Spring 2024 Issue of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, about trolling Something Awful in 2013.
• A pulp SF story about a guy who plays a guitar with laser strings for the fanzine Planetary Stories.
• A short story called “Sloth” for the weird fiction mag Kaleidotrope.
• A trap appearing in Knights of the Dinner Table magazine back in like 2003 which looks like a gold coin laying on the floor but is actually the cork on a pressurized container of ACID!
• Two articles for Boing Boing: one about the promotional VHS that appeared with the boardgame Dragonstrike and another on Shannon Taggart, a photographer who takes excellent pictures of Seances. This was optioned to be turned into a “based on true story” kinda horror movie but they never made it.
• A recording of Don and a crew of talented players doing a live play of his roleplaying game GOREFEST at the Chain Theater in midtown Manhattan. The session was called “KILL JEFFREY EPSTEIN,” and Don really hopes someone reuploaded it when he scrubbed his Youtube channel… This was performed in October of 2019. Players included classically trained artist and GM Aaron Watts and Independent Spirit Award Winning actor Tim McKiernan.
• A section of a telephone pole covered with stickers and band posters Don designed which was featured in an art show at East Side Pies on Burnet Road in Austin, Texas — this was October of 2024… The pole might still be there! Probably pretty fucked up now, though.
• Modeling in a series of advertisements for El Captain, a nail polish by the now defunct brand Floss Gloss. It was a shade of electric blue.
