Hey, guys... at this point, I'm pretty much going to declare this Livejournal abandoned. I've been posting announcements here both because there's hundreds of people with it on their friends list and because I have a sentimental attachment to it, as this is where MU started, but at this point, with all the different stuff I'm juggling, it makes ( Read more... )

So, I took a story series that I started writing looong ago and put it on this site called Storiesonline, which is a free platform for syndicating stories... online (you'd never work that out from the name, would you?). Now, the more people read and vote on the story on Storiesonline, the more publicity it gets within the site, which means the more ( Read more... )

Want to really help MU take off? A lot of people have told me they can't figure out an easy way to describe the story to their friends but if they can convince them to read the first chapter, they're hooked and it ends up speaking for itself.

With that in mind, I am inviting people to post the entire first chapter (text reproduced below) on their ( Read more... )

Well, I've made a couple of additions to the site... at a reader's request, I added a row of buttons to the page which can be used to submit MU to various social bookmarking/sharing type sites (stumbleupon and the like)... if you use any of those services and haven't yet shared MU, now you have no excuse...

Speaking of excuses for not telling people ( Read more... )

Click here to buy. Or even just to look at. In addition to the chapters 23-52, there's a foreword (the entirety of which can be viewed in the preview), and a section with background on several characters' names at the end of the book.

I've got the manuscript and cover for book two finished, but Lulu.com's file conversion system is giving me problems. If everything clears itself up, I should have book two available for sale by midnight (CST) tonight. The book is 374 pages long, and includes a foreword and a bonus section describing where some of the characters' names came from. ( Read more... )

For people who've missed my mentions elsewhere, I'd like to announce Tribe: Fantasy In Miniature (formerly referred to as "The Tribe", changed when I realized that nobody in the story referred to the titular organization with the definite article in front of it)... this is a micro-fiction serial I'm writing, in 333 word chunks every day. Kind of an ( Read more... )

I'll be cross-posting this on the MU forum. Because it's not, for instance, a general election, feel free to register your opinion in both places... and to elaborate with a comment, if you feel the need ( Read more... )

I have all the existing material for book 2 compiled and ready to go, but I think I'm going to hold back on offering it for sale another week. I'd like to be able to offer something in the way of extra material (supplemental information, for instance) to people who buy the book... nothing that would be required to enjoy or understand future stories ( Read more... )

Whee... I kind of like being able to talk about what I'm doing, MU-wise, without worrying about it interrupting the flow of the story archive.

I have finally made a proper gallery to showcase the excellent fan art I've received to date. It includes the first drawing of Mackenzie, a cartoonist's interpretation by the artist of Swedish FishI've also ( Read more... )
