- saaaam 11y agoHey - I made this. Lemme know if you have any questions or suggestions. Tune in tomorrow at 1pm EST for the live experience.
- jmduke 11y agoThis is great! Having worked with serials a lot in my day job (and finding the history of them interesting as a publishing platform in general), I love this project. What was the inspiration behind the project? Did Joshua reach out to you and @leyawn?
- saaaam 11y agoI run this thing called Useless Press (http://uselesspress.org http://uselesspress.org) - we publish interesting/unusual internet things. We came up with the idea of a real-time novel and then asked Josh and @leyawn if they wanted to participate.
- rpug 11y ago@saaaam, As a tech leader working in the publishing industry, I'd be interested in connecting with you to hear more about what you work on. My email is my username @lp0.org. Maybe there are opportunities for us to collaborate!
- jastanton 11y agoThis is really cool! I really love it when authors take a stab at new ways of writing / integrating tech into writing in unique ways! A friend of mine is doing something similar except less realtime than this. Instead his take on it is a chapter is published for every time the main character writes in his journal (usually every night). It's an action / adventure / fantasy so it's really fun and climactic when the main character thinks he's being pursued by an enemy and then the next night the journal entry is missing, and then the 2 or three nights in a row there is no journal entry! Oh the suspense! If anyone is interested it's called Into the Nanten[0] [0]: http://intothenanten.com/ http://intothenanten.com/
