The UFOFic project thread.

[Bonzo]

If you didn't see H-Hour's post on the news feed, one of the professional writers from Firedance, Gary Bonn, has written some short stories inspired by playing UFO:ai! Gary and I will be collaborating to produce a new five-minute piece every two weeks, and when the story is complete, publish an actual UFO:ai inspired novel. The segments are available to read (for free) at Writerlot.net, and the novel/novella will be available to download for free in few days window, which we will warn you about ages in advance.

According the poor bloke who monitors the analytics we've had a good few hundred (!?) readers from the UFO:ai folk. This thread is to keep you all up to date, and to receive your feedback and critique.

*News*

Gary's away at a meeting with the Writerlot/Firedance crew - hopefully putting in a good word for the books.

[DarkRain]

I'm an avid reader, and always enjoy a good novel, so I definitely will be looking forward to it.

Oh wait, that means I have to wait two weeks for the next part

I'm not trying to hurry you, I know writing a good story must take its time

[vagol942]

Very nice, i like the tone you guys give it kudos to you two

[Gary Bonn]

Hello, people!
Bonzo has twisted my arm and applied forks to me eyes until I agreed to work on a piece for every sunday. Actually, we're having a laugh - I've never worked in collaboration before and he's absolutely bursting with clever ideas.
Thanks for the feedback - and for this whole, inspirational project.

Grins: Gary

[Bonzo]

Pah. "clever ideas" indeed. All I did was play 2.4 through! By the time we're finished the game will be complete with a zillion mods and be the biggest thing on the internet. THEN will you promise to play it through?

Oh the readers are going to be in for quite the experience... heh heh heh.

[Gary Bonn]

Hello people!
Bonzo and I have worked like mad... You have 17 more chapters to come - one every sunday on http://writerlot.net/writerlot.htm
We've had a ball and the ending surprised even us. We've loved doing this - and I'm currently talking to my publisher. If they go ahead - it'll get full editorial treatment, and be published as a book.
This will be a free Kindle etc, download for all of you, (I'll negotiate how long they're prepared to do this - but keep you informed and forewarned) and then be published as a paperback too.
If they like it, if you like it, it could go on and on.
Thank you so much for your comments and this opportunity to create some really kickass battle scenes.  Oops, no spoilers now... 

[DarkRain]

Herp derp forgot to update last week like a fool, fixed now.

Oh, I've meant to post about this for some time, but I always get distracted reading your great work and end forgetting: this forum doesn't notify when a post is edited, if you also made a post when you update, it would be better, we don't really mind some double posting

[Jae]

I'm new to the site, drawn here by the story telling.
Episode eight http://www.writerlot.net/gary0058.htm is up today and even though you've gone from fortnightly to weekly, I'm still tapping my foot waiting for the next one.

[Painkillers]

Another one who found his way here from WriterLot. Good stories those, now to investigate the rest of the site.

[Unisol]

These stories get more and more awesome as they go. Can't wait for next one as soon as I end reading previous =)

[Bonzo]

Part nine is up!

[Jae]

The easing of the craving is very short-lived. As soon as I read one episode I *desperately want* the next one.

[Bonzo]

Part ten's up - apparently yesterday... nobody tells me nuffin'

[maackey]

These are pretty fantasfic. (hah, get it, fan-tas-fic?)

Terrible puns aside, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming chapters.

[Bonzo]

Maackey, you're hilolrious. (see I put 'lol' inside the word... what have I become)

Revelations is up on writerlot!
