Transgendered Game Writer's Project on Kickstarter

I'm not sure how many of you play video games, but for those that do, I thought you might like to know about a kickstarter project that is about to expire (5 more days), and hasn't reached it's target goal:(

The project is led by a transgendered woman, Dani Landers, who has dreamed up a very lovely story involving a mother and her child. The artwork looks incredible, and, while the team is small (4 people, I think), it looks like it will end up being something that people who enjoy adventures will have fond memories of long after they have played the game.

Save the SciFi

I discovered this site very recently, and thought some folks here might be interest: Save the SciFi

According to their blog, they are trying to get the publishing rights to old science fiction novels that are long out of print, with little expectation to be reprinted/published in the future. What's cool, is that people can join their club and get the right to vote on what is published next (in addition to getting a free copy of one book each month in ebook format).

Beta Readers (or editor)?

I recently posted a story I had written a couple of years ago. I've been writing part two (probably of three) and am wondering if there are a couple of people who might be willing to give what I've written a read and offer suggestions/comments. I'm not completely done, but I imagine it will be done tonight or tomorrow (part two, that is).

It's current'y about 6300 words, and needs a few more pages to finish up, if that matters.

Anyway, I thought I would put the word out now so that I'll have the addresses once I'm ready to get some feedback, in case there is interest.

Thanks!

Learn to Write Better

I have tried to write many stories. Some are so terrible, that even after I've written a few pages, I don't even want to save it. I'm a programmer by trade, and I believe my "creative brain" is sometimes completely locked away entirely and my writing reads more like a list of facts. But, some read OK. It's kind of funny, because some times, when I read over something I wrote years earlier, I'm impressed and even wonder if I really could have written it.

Story Covers

I have been using poser for ages now, and I LOVE playing with fonts and graphics. If anyone is interested in a customized cover for a story they are writing, please send me a PM. If I think I can make something pretty and fun, I'll give it a shot:) Below is an example of one that I made for a story a I wrote some time ago.....ignore the typos:O

Chapter Two
Jumping Right In

Aubrey used a magic book to change himself into Aubrey, a young woman. The new woman rediscovers friendship in her new identity as well as the glories of bikinis...even when no pool is around!


As we baked ourselves inside our SPF 15, I let my mind wander back to how strange it was to be here, so close to her, without any pretense.

Wishes Fulfilled, Chapter One Illustrated

Yay!

Thanks to Erin, I have a way to share PDFs! Hopefully this won't have any browser issues. Anyway, if you want, you are welcome to have a peek. This is probably not the final version. At the very least, it will have a cute little cover and all that. Again, I would love an editor as well as general criticisms/critiques, so if you are so inclined, please drop me a note or share here:)
