Besting the Beast - A Transmedia Story

3/29/2015

0 Comments

 
     I recently collaborated on a Transmedia story for school! It's pretty cool, so I think you should check it out when you get some time. The amazon link to the left is the book we used as a textbook for this class. 

Here's an excerpt:
“Besting the Beast” is an immersive, interactive, transmedia story based on Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game,” designed and produced by students of Full Sail University’s Creative Writing for Entertainment BFA program.
If you get a chance, you can start here: Besting the Beast

Explore, have fun!

Until next time...

Have you guys heard of SaveUp? It's a really cool site on which I've already won $200.00 from in previous drawings! I'm a real live winner on that site, so I know it's legitimate. Anyways, check it out if you get a chance!

Here's the link: https://www.saveup.com/

Hope to see you there!

Complete! (Submit a Super! (Hero or Villain))

3/14/2015

0 Comments

 
As some of you know, I'm going to be attempting Camp NaNoWriMo next month and I have a good story in mind. Unfortunately, it requires a large amount of various Supers, be it Super Heroes, or Super Villains. So I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse (See what I did there?):

You may submit a Super Hero, or a Super Villain.
1. Any submissions will become my property, and you will lose all rights to it. (Legal Mumbo-jumbo)
2. If I choose your Super, you and your hero will be immortalized at the end of the book, in a special thank you section.
3. If you happen to submit a hero that falls into the main group (Top five, max), then you will receive a physical copy of the book when it's published. This won't happen until the end of the year most likely, but I will email the top five then for addresses to mail them out.
4. I already have some Supers in mind. Regardless of your submissions, mine will come first, so if you submit something similar to the ones I already have, yours won't count. I won't be emailing you to tell you that it won't count, it will just be discarded.
5. This is first come first serve, so if someone submits a similar Super before you do, theirs will count first.
6. I reserve the right to do anything I want with your Super submissions (Meaning I may change your Super to fit a need).
7. I will NOT give your E-mail to ANYONE. You will receive one email when the book is released.  I will also only be using your name in the thank you section of the book, and no where else.

Instructions:

Please put the exact First and Last name you would like in the thank you section of the book.

In the "Super's Details" section, please include as many details as you want your character to have, such as, but not limited to: Powers, Weaknesses, Hero or Villain, description, etc.

**Please note, I do not need copies of Heroes or Villains already in the market, such as Superman, Batman, etc.


Have fun with it!
-Jeff

P.S. I'll be leaving this form open until March 30th, at which point I'll go through all the submissions. Thanks!


30Mar15 Edit - This is complete! Thanks!

Camp NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is coming up in April, and I'm planning on being a participant! If anyone wants, I believe we have some extra room in our cabin at the moment, so join me if you will! There are plenty of winnings to be had by way of special offers! So get out there and write, write, write!!

If I win, I'm going to treat myself to a little of this! Camp NaNoWriMo Care Package


You can also donate to them, which helps a lot! This is from their site:

When you donate to National Novel Writing Month, you help bring free creative writing programs to nearly 500,000 kids and adults in approximately 200 countries, 2,000 classrooms, 650 libraries, and 600 NaNoWriMo regions every year.

You not only support people’s novel writing dreams, you help transform people into creators who see new possibilities in the world—and act on them. You spark a creative revolution.

“Storytelling is a powerful act. Stories have the mysterious power to widen hearts and change minds. The psyche is never quite the same after receiving a story,” says author Mitali Perkins in NaNo’s 2013 Annual Report.

Your donation spawns NaNoWriMo’s unique brand of transformative magic. Ponder this infographic that shows the impact of your support from the annual report. (Or, download it here.)

The Cinder Spires: the Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher

3/11/2015

0 Comments

 
If you haven't already heard, Jim Butcher (Author of The Dresden Files, which is my favorite series to-date) is putting out a new series called The Cinder Spires September 29th, 2015. I'm completely looking forward to this! Pre-order today! (I know I did!) 

This is directly from the Amazon.com Page:
Jim Butcher, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Dresden Files and the Codex Alera novels, conjures up a new series set in a fantastic world of noble families, steam-powered technology, and magic-wielding warriors…

Since time immemorial, the Spires have sheltered humanity, towering for miles over the mist-shrouded surface of the world. Within their halls, aristocratic houses have ruled for generations, developing scientific marvels, fostering trade alliances, and building fleets of airships to keep the peace.

Captain Grimm commands the merchant ship, Predator. Fiercely loyal to Spire Albion, he has taken their side in the cold war with Spire Aurora, disrupting the enemy’s shipping lines by attacking their cargo vessels. But when the Predator is severely damaged in combat, leaving captain and crew grounded, Grimm is offered a proposition from the Spirearch of Albion—to join a team of agents on a vital mission in exchange for fully restoring Predator to its fighting glory.

And even as Grimm undertakes this dangerous task, he will learn that the conflict between the Spires is merely a premonition of things to come. Humanity’s ancient enemy, silent for more than ten thousand years, has begun to stir once more. And death will follow in its wake…

Hang out with Robert Downey Jr. For Age of Ultron? (Money goes to charity) Yes Please!

3/6/2015

Have you seen this? 

http://www.omaze.com/experiences/robert-downey-jr 

I have to say, first off that anyone donating to help kids is good in my book! Kids are great! I have two of them, after all.

So here's what you get:

Indoor sky diving, breakfast at Randy’s Donuts, a helicopter around LA, and that’s just the beginning. Got your attention? Great. I’ll be flying you and a friend out to LA to spend a day like Tony Stark before my motorcade picks you up en route to the World Premiere of Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. And since we’ll be walking the red carpet together, I’ll make sure my team hooks you up with a tux or gown ahead of time. We’ll watch the movie, have some caviar, and if it all goes well, maybe I’ll even reconsider that whole ‘no sidekick’ thing. See you soon.
They also have collectibles for different prize levels, but I really can't afford any of them. A t-shirt for $100? I think my wife would break my mouse hand...

Come on fellas, make some prize levels with swag for us broke people too!

It's a chance of a lifetime to be sure! But since I'm a fan of the new Marvel movies, I would love to go, so if someone wants to invite me as part of their nine friends in the $50,000 donation, I would not say "no" to you! Or, if someone wants to donate me your moneys, I'll go and invite my nine friends! (You can donate to me here:)

A little bit tacky perhaps? Possibly, but someone might be cool enough to donate so me and my nine friends can go. Most likely not, but you never know! The internet may hold one person who would do it... um, right? 

Anyways, just thought you all should know about this great thing RDJ is doing!

Until our next little adventure,
Jeff
