Warm Stone - Chapter 4

Admittedly, progress has been a little slower on Warm Stone than I expected. I'm going on a trip, visiting home, in a little over a week. On top of that I am apartment hunting, and trying to make time for people. Basically my writing has taken a significant hit.

That said, I am still fully committed to getting 50,000 words down by the end of November. That's 13 days! So if I manage to achieve my goal, there should be more Warm Stone soon, and at a very rapid pace.

Mass Effect: Babel - Chapter 1

 And now it’s time to start Mass Effect: Babel, another piece of fan fiction!

Ever since the release of the first game, I have been thoroughly obsessed with the Mass Effect franchise. I’ve read every book, every comic, uncovered every secret and corner of the games, and even made it a point to absorb any and all behind-the-scenes information I can find. Simply put, it’s one of my great and passionate fandoms. It was only with the greatest of care that I’ve crafted this story set in a universe that I so thoroughly love.

If you are new to this universe, and do not mind the spoilers, then it is very important to know this - I have included all the information a newcomer would need to hop right into this universe. While there will be a fair amount of information to take in, you need no prior knowledge of previous Mass Effect games to grasp the majority of this story.

If you want to avoid spoilers for the Mass Effect series, then this is probably where you should stop reading.

It’s set during Mass Effect 2, after the Suicide Mission and Lair of the Shadow Broker, but before Arrival. I’ll be using my own Shepard’s choices (as many do) for the story, although I’ll be using Male Shepard’s “canon” name and appearance. Any decisions relevant to the plot will be explained in some form or another within the context of the text itself, I promise! If it weren’t obvious, here is the final disclaimer – there are large spoilers for Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 peppered throughout the entire fanfic. With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy the story!

Mass Effect Giveaway

To celebrate the impending launch of Mass Effect: Babel, it’s time for another contest! Starting today (November 15th) and going until the end of the month (the deadline will be December 1st), see how many of your friends you can get to subscribe to my official Facebook page (a link to which can be found at the bottom of the page)!

Do you know people who love fan fiction? Then sell them on Spiderman: Revenge and Mass Effect: Babel!

Or maybe your friends are the types who like to read dramatic books? Well, tell them about Warm Stone, my half-finished novel following the parallel lives of a ranch hand and the characters he creates through writing.

There will also be original science fiction coming sometime in 2013, along with blogs that are (hopefully) fun to read. Basically, there are tons of reasons to get someone involved! Lots of ways to sell!

And what prizes are involved this time?

The Mass Effect Trilogy box set, for the system of your choosing (Playstation 3, X-Box 360, or PC). One of the greatest sci-fi epics in gaming, and you’ll get the whole thing for free!

 Also, a Mass Effect poster created by Henry William design (link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/WilliamHenryDesign).

These will be yours, and all you need to do is get your friends to subscribe. Just like the Avengers contest, the person who brings the most new subscribers to the page will win. Be sure to have them tell me that you sent them, otherwise you won’t be able to get proper credit.

But there’s more! If we get over 100 page likes by the end of the contest, then a runner-up will also win a copy of the box set! If we get over 120 page likes, the person in third place will receive a copy of the poster from Henry William design.

Thank you all for your support! Let’s see if we can’t get the page beyond 100 subscribers before the end of the year!

Spiderman: Revenge - Chapter 3

Things grow a little more complex as chapter 3 of Spiderman: Revenge rolls up. This chapter marks the end of character introductions (with one very notable exception), and is definitely a chapter of transition. The said, there is some big action on the horizon, and so I hope you're still with me as the intensity begins to ratchet up!

Chapter 4 will be arriving the first week of December. In the meantime, there will be Warm Stone and the upcoming Mass Effect: Babel to keep you entertained. And next week I will be announcing a new contest, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Warm Stone - Chapter 3

Here is the first of two story uploads for the day (the second will be Spiderman: Revenge chapter 3, sometime later on tonight).

As this chapter will make clear, I am definitely juggling a lot of balls in Warm Stone. Just go into it knowing that I have a very definitive ending in mind, which means it’s all leading somewhere. This includes the oddness that was chapter 2.

Chapter 3 brings us back to a more traditional storytelling structure. From here, you can also see a fair amount of what to expect from the novel. It is, in fact, told from a number of narrative perspectives. How they are all relevant to one another will become a bit more clear on each rotation of characters, although the complete picture won’t be formed until the very last few chapters. Still, hopefully you’re willing to go along for the ride, because it will only be getting stranger from here.

I’ll see you later on, with more Spiderman: Revenge!

Warm Stone - Chapter 2

Apologies for the slightly late upload. I promise it shall not happen again anytime soon!

Here is chapter 2 of Warm Stone, my NaNoWriMo novel. It’s a little on the short side, but with it comes the first traces of what makes this novel simultaneously unique and very strange. Chapter 3 shows how it all gets even weirder, as well.

Speaking of which, Chapter 3 will be going up on Friday! To find out exactly when, follow my official author page (linked below)!

Thank you for the continued support, and happy NaNoWriMo!

Warm Stone - Chapter 1

Here it is, Warm Stone’s first chapter!

I will be uploading several chapters each week, depending on my progress on the novel. This is very rough shape. I’ve only taken a cursory glance towards editing it, and it has not been to visit my actual editor. That said, I’m quite proud of the work I’ve done on this book so far. While my original goal (to avoid this piece being anything except a drama) has gone up in smoke, I can still honestly say that I’ve never written anything like this before.

Chapter 2 will be going up sometime on Wednesday, and Chapter 3 will be hopping onto the internet Friday. The odds are you won’t see the full shape the novel shall take for a while. The story hops around a lot, and the first few chapters barely scratch the surface of what I’m doing. Still, the writing feels solid, and I have a firm grasp of the characters.

Be sure to let me know your thoughts! You can reach me via my official author blog, linked below.
