Show off your projects, ask about others, talk about mine, whatever. Ask for help, or just say, Wooo, thats cool.

Do books count as projects? Sci-Fi Novel for the nerds! =D

Okay so as you probably seen in my links bar at the bottom of my posts, I run a space RP website called Space Chaos, this is the third incarnation(?) of this style of website I've run. Over the years we've gone from SRP to SC. On the first site I formed an 'alliance' of sorts with one of the other players and before long we came up with the idea of sorting our posts into chapters and eventually we sorted them into a book. After much editing and chopping and changing we're at the point of it being a full almost complete book. Anyway here's the vid.

Enjoy! thanks for taking the time to read/view this! =D

Writing a book is definitely a cool project.

Aw cool, I'm glad you think so! It certainly was a very difficult thing to bring to life, I just hope other people get to enjoy it soon too =D

Ah a man after my own heart! writing is right up there for me with building robots and watching Mythbusters (which btw is a epic show...) got offered various scholarships from some secondary school's/colleges/uni's to take english/writing but instead studying engineering...and music for some reason. Looking great Knux! any chance of it getting published? would like to see a familiar name in the local waterstones... could be the next hitchhikers guide :lol:

Aw man, I would love that to happen! But I don't even know if Jamies into Sci-Fi, or if he'd even be willing to read it all! Would be too epic if that were the case but to be honest I think the SRP should take priority first =P Besides if he reads this one it might mean he'll have to read the four coming out after it too! But I guess that all depends on whether or not the first one gets published, I reckon having someone like Jaimie or Ben Heck reading the audio book would mean it got to a larger audience, people who like things that they do are probably inclined towards Sci-Fi-ish things, I dunno. Would be too funny if we could get Isiah Mustafa doing it. "Hello Ladies, Look at your space-ship, Now back to mine, Now back at your space-ship, Now back to mine. Sadly it isn't mine, etc etc" =P It would be cool if jeri Elsworth and Ben Heck got together to do it, there is a pretty big spread of characters =D Maybe we could even get cameo roles =P

Hahaha sorry I loved the "I can't flip pages to save my life..." hahahaha

That was great.

Cool idea though, I'd love to read it.

Jaimie IS into sci fi :-) we have had numerous discussions about his love for Dr Who for the wiki (my grandad directed some of the old school episodes)

I LOVE Dr. Who!!!

I've only watched it sporadically though. Always good episodes though.

Haha yeah I'm a bit of a flake when it comes to filming and doing other things, the super-bus videos are testament to that enough! =P
I'm glad this has been well received! I can't wait to get some actual copies in my hand to get out to people. I don't wanna blow my own trumpet or the trumpet of any of the co-writers but it seriously is a thoroughly enjoyable read, even in its current format.
I never saw any Dr.Who I wasn't really a TV kid although Red Dwarf was more my thing. People have said the book is like a mix between Red Dwarf and Serenity with a little alien life thrown in for good measure =P
Hey, in all seriousness if Jamie takes an interest in reading the audio book then I'd be more than happy. (In fact, I'd be so over the moon he'll need to build something epic to pull me back down.) I don't wanna start setting things like that up until I know how its gonna be received. And I won't know that until a few copies have gone out. And like I said, if it is a success then I plan to complete the other books in the series which will also need putting onto audio book, sounds like a LOT of work, but would hopefully pay well enough to help who-ever read it to live a slightly more comfortable life-style. I still shot-gun reading some bits though, like one of the characters is called Knux (imagine that, original huh? =P) I'd love to do the voice for him. And Jack I imagine you would suit the role of London down to a T, he's the teenage Robot nerd of the crew =D
Now that I've said that, I imagine the book reading process to be more like a fun day out! If we could find someone for each character and then have someone narrate it we'd be laughing! Omg toooo epic. I'll get planning and let you know how this goes. Anyone who wants to get involved lemme know, I'd love to hear from ya! =D Peace guys, and thanks for the boost!
