Hi all: I've been at this for about a year now. It started as a kind therapeutic thing after my dad passed away, but I really got into it. I like to the think this is the way story telling should go. Bigger landscapes, more characters, longer arcs... Check it out here. I'd love to know...

I am writing a web serial right now. I'd love to know what you think. Introduction | And please consider a review or spreading the word. Thanks! Dave

Thank you for this. I fell down the Moorcock rabbit hole about 2 winters ago and it dug in so deep it forced me to finally start writing myself. The scope is what gets me. And the sense you get that he NEEDS these worlds to get out of him. For me this epitomizes good fantasy. You can tell...

Thanks Thomas! If you do read, I'd love your feedback. I really want to make this a dynamic, living enterprise with readers. I'm genuinely thrilled when I hear someone is reading it. I just put up a cast list to help, if you are interested. Cast | Dave

I have this kind of meta idea for an ongoing omni-genre science fantasy serial that engages readers' feedback to build over time. I have a long, loose arc as a framework and am looking for input regarding all the mythology, lore, history, philosophy and other material will roll in, define and...

Beyond the treasured grace of magicless Earth, probability is but a plaything of sorcerers. It’s 1986, and Andy Crowley is as much metalhead and Dungeon Master as he is sorcerer. Humble beginnings for one who — in thirty years — will rule all reality. From Corbyville to Mars, through the...

This is helpful. Thanks for taking the time to write it. I am exactly where you are at with offloading exposition to a footnote page. I guess all I want is to know that I'm not caged in and that there are others out there who are beyond the pure novel formula as end-all be-all.

Thanks for this! I hear this loud and clear. And I think you hit a nail on the head. i am writing for free -- it is a passion project. So I think I kind of resent formula and the screaming and yelling about the "one right way" to be a writer. I really appreciate these non-condescending...

Thanks everyone for responses! I am new here and it's exciting to know that people lend their ears -- and wisdom. I agree with most of what's been said, but respectfully disagree whole-heartedly that the media revolution is underway with regard to the written word. What I see is merely a move...

Thanks for chiming in. I fear this may come off as being an apologesto for hackery. I hope not. For example, I am just now thinking about using callouts or sidebars for my exposition in order to free up the flow of narrative -- because it's not print and I can! This raises another thing we need...

I feel the Internet offers an opportunity for a return to episodic storytelling on an unprecedented scale. And I believe the web serial could reorient our entire approach to writing and literature. Like 19th Century Dickens newspaper serials -- only with no need for presses, no associated...
