Don’t do it, dude. Shoot me an email at hiroann@yahoo.com and I’ll talk to you. I could even send you some of my writings if you’re interested, or we can just talk about whatever. My nephew hung himself two years ago and it’s torn the whole family apart. He was just 25 and hadn’t seen all that life has to offer. I’m sorry you’re not in the best of health.

Hey butterfly

You have been visited by the literary gas station attendant of good fortune! Many great ideas and extra pages of finished work will come to you, but only if you reply “ding ding, fill er up, Gaskun!” In this thread

Slice of life NYC 2105 cyberpunk urban dystopia story about the life and times of a 13 year old girl navigating the rough streets of gangs, clone equal rights protests and trying to score stolen tech from megacorp trucks and warehouses. Tentatively titled “Sarah of the barricades” it’s the untold story of the mother of the MC of my spaceopera series.

Did somebody say... “Space Opera”?

She’s never liked me but when dad died I held my stepmothers hand during the funeral and even have a eulogy to which pleased everyone. Who the fuck gets buried in hitlers birthday?

The person who made me not want to live is also the person who gave me the steel resolve to navigate the world with conviction and resolve without being afraid of anyone or anything. It is a literal manifestation of the Johnny Cash Song, A boy Named Sue.

The imagination cultivated in tough times gives me the fuel to write novels, but it’s one of the few things that brings me joy. It lets me escape when i need to. So I write about space ships, and jetpacks, and fantastical things because if you’d been with me for the length of my own journey, the starbursts of rockets and make believe are far preferable to what ive been shown to be real

>maybe it’s less about the day job and really more about what you do with your free time

It’s not a huge cast.

1. adventurous girl
2. Middle aged warrior type woman
3. Robot. (No gender)
4. An older woman survived an attack by putting her own brain (removed with an auto doc) to then put it in what looks like a bubbling jar atop a “1950’s style” clunky robot. A la original lost in space. In time she has an identity crisis when the change gets to be too much and she’ll have trouble coping
5. An eyeball atop tentacles type alien that uses bipedal power armor. It’s female and with brood.
6. A fizban/obi wan/Gandalf/ type older dude
7. Tons of faceless enemies both male and female (firefight fodder)
8. MC’s best friend (sidekick and anchor to old life) kinda looks like Merida from Brave
Main Big Bad is a mass changing woman bent on killing the heroes. ( see Mass Master from the comic book Powerpack crossed with the alien queen chick from that game Starcraft. She leads a band of sci-fi “Legion of Doom” types but all their supposed superpowers are based on actual science

The genders of the characters really doesn’t mean squat except for the eyeball alien who is actually giving birth.
You could seriously flip a coin on sex but it’s the conflicts of the characters that are what’s most important. Trying to steer clear of a standard Heroes Journey template to work with more layers. Been there, done that, not looking to retrace steps

But there’s also people like butterfly and Gaskun. He always encourages others to write and he does his own thing regardless of the haters

Are the rumors true? Is Gaskun working on a new series? I like his other stuff
