I highly suggest "The Longest Night" it is a good story with a great ending! Now onto the "Nucleus" series... will update once finished
I'm very glad you guys are enjoying! And my additional thanks, Palmsugar, for proofreading Nucleus for me. Didn't realize how derpy my fingers had gotten retyping it all. Also, good news for you sci-fi fans, I have published a new book tonight! "3rd Strike" has been added to the sales list.
Can you set up an area where I can give the book back once done reading it? Im just paying to read it, not for the copy (I'm the person who will not read ANYTHING more than once )
I could, but honestly I don't want to encourage people to toss them back. I mass-produce with Bookz so that I can replace purchased ones - I'm selling the item, not just the right to read it. But you are more than welcome to give / loan / resell it to your friends, if you wish, as long as it is not marked up beyond the original sale price. I made this shop mainly as an outlet for my writing, so people could enjoy it, not really for the rupees.
Well I'd like to think it's at least decent. 27 pages, so not the longest I've ever written, but for a short story it stands up well enough on its own.
Thank you for the visit, had a great time with both you and Bunkerllama. And in shop-related news: Typos have been fixed! Nucleus Pt 2 has been revised and those naughty little errors sorted out. I'll correct Pt 1 tomorrow (and Pt 3 is coming some time this week as well).
Spent most of the morning writing for Pt 3. Barring unforeseen catastrophy, it should see print sometime tomorrow.
Less sci-fi than I expected, but the story is still sexy, because aircraft are sexy. This book is pure eye candy in written form. (I wish a movie would be made based on the book so I could watch the aircraft.)
The reason it's classed as Sci-Fi is mainly because of the Helios. The story was inspired by the old PS1 game Einhander. The overall shape of the Helios was, at least in my head, modeled roughly after the Astraea, sans the gunpod arm and upper cannon. Of course I didn't really do a good job of describing that...
As a celebration of my upcoming 500th day, I've added a new book: "100,000 Meters" But this is no ordinary book! It is a treasure hunt, of sorts! See details in the event thread here. EDIT: Well that was fast. "100,000 Meters" is currently being rewritten as a result of the original journal's recovery. It will go back on sale sometime tomorrow.
Just a quick update to let everyone know, the recovered version of "100,000 Meters" is now on sale, in its proper place. To you folks who have the Treasure Hunt copies, you may exchange them for the Recovered version any time I am online, if you wish, or hang onto them as keepsakes if you prefer Also a special announcement: Tomorrow (7-11-2013) is officially my 500th day! I will be hosting my first ever (and likely only) drop party at 16087, in the Lavafall room, at 7:00pm, EST (GMT-5). Among the usual handouts of precious gem/ore blocks and enchanted gear are some particularly special bits: 1 Beacon - Thank you Duskblades for cutting me a deal on this one! 4 Rupees Vouchers, in 500r and 1,000r amounts. Simply sell them to the chests in the room to redeem your rupees 1 Tiger Mask Certificate - If for some morbid reason you're aching to get your hands on my head, this item entitles you to your very own Tiger Mask. I don't give my head out anymore except under very special circumstances, so this may be your only chance to obtain it (if you care).
