Fiction Elite: Lave Revolution

[Allen Stroud]

Finally, as mentioned in the podcast I've managed to get this launched.

Massive thanks to Michael Brookes, David Braben, John Laws, Andrew Gillett and all at Frontier for giving me the opportunity to write what will be a lifetime dream if we get funding.

Lave deserves a fantastic story. Here's hoping I get the chance to do it justice.

 

[JohnStabler]

I wish you good luck. Although I already know this will be a great work by the Tolkein of the Elite universe!

EDIT: Of course, I've already pledged.

 

[Selezen]

This is gonna be AWESOME!

Looking forward to this one. I still think you're a brave man, playing in the spiritual home of nearly 30000 people...

Very good luck.

P. S. pledged.

 

[fozza]

Pledged and can't wait!

The story will be excellent of that I have no doubt.

What I want though is to push on for the film.
How fantastic would that be!

 

[synchromesh]

I hope you pull it off......This sounds brilliant :smilie:

Love it

Please do an 'in' joke about the Lave Revolution causes new pilot's to crash!

wouldn't that be a 'trying to get in' joke?

read lostisagame.com

from the moment I found the above website everything made sense (although you can't just 'skim' the intro page)

"It's all in the details" Sawyer S2E13

sadly no TV programs engage me as Lost did

edit:
although this page does allude to the premise

I didn't wanna make it that obvious

 

[Styggron]

Fantastic Allen.

I was blown away when I heard what your book was about at the end of the first LAVE Radio podcast ! I've always wanted to know what happened on LAVE.

Best of luck with the KS campaign, I'll be backing this one shortly.

I've just added it to Ashley's writers list summary post for easy access. http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5186

PS: I gather the ebook is DRM free ?

 

[Allen Stroud]

Yes, the pledge e-book is DRM free. I will update on this.

 

[Styggron]

Brilliant Allen.

 

[Susimetsa]

I trust the e-book format refers to .mobi as well? Not just .pdf or something non-Kindle friendly like that?

 

[Allen Stroud]

I've just clarified this on the comments page. Mobi and EPub are the formats I'll offer. Worry not, I'm a Kindle nut myself.

 

[Ashley Barley]

Good luck with this! I'll make sure to post it to the Elite Facebook later today.

No PDF? Shocking.

Incidentally, what will the photos at the £35 pledge level be used for?

 

[Allen Stroud]

Thanks Ashley that would be fantastic.

No PDF? Shocking.

Not my favourite format for a book, but I may be persuaded.

You want me to give away all my secrets? There's an element to the book that can include them as part of the fiction. James Bond needs a briefing file, right?

 

[Selezen]

Damn you, Kropotkin!

I will have your secrets!

(if anyone gets the Kropotkin reference I WILL be impressed...)

 

[Cody]

Not my favourite format for a book, but I may be persuaded.

I have no mobile devices, no e-reader etc... only a PC. A .pdf version would be very handy.

 

[AnnuverScotinExile]

I have no mobile devices, no e-reader etc... only a PC. A .pdf version would be very handy.

A kindle reader app for a pc (and lots of other platforms) is free, and downloadable from Amazon.
