He lives in an alternate history version of our world, circa Elizabethan era. The main difference between Daniel's world and our own is that the fae are real, they're back and they're pissed. So they've covered the British Isles in a magical forest, taking back what they see as being their birthright. Only seven cities survived. Daniel works in one of them as a thieftaker, a proto-private investigator / policeman / bounty hunter. </p> <p>Interested? So far I have the first two chapters up, with a good forty or so in backlog waiting to be posted. My current goal is to post an update every Monday and every Friday, French Time (GMT + 1).</p> <p>I would love to get some feedback on it, so if anyone is interested, please don't hesitate to check it out - you can find the story over on DigitalNovelists.com or at this direct link - <a href="http://mirrormaskfiction.digitalnovelists.com" rel="nofollow">http://mirrormaskfiction.digitalnovelists.com</a></p> <p>I'm really new to this whole adventure, so a bit scared as to what is going to happen. Any advice, pointers or even vague encouragements would be most appreciated!! :) </p> <p>Looking forward to being a part of your wonderful community,</p> <p>James </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/that-sudden-spots-the-space-marine-thing#post-4714 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 14:07:08 +0000 M.C.A. Hogarth 4714@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>I just wanted to wave hello and explain the sudden appearance of Spots the Space Marine, since I saw a couple of questions about it on Twitter; I feel a bit sheepish!</p> <p>I've been writing Spots twice a week for about a year now on Livejournal, which I like because it makes threaded conversations easy for brain-dead new moms with no sleep (that would be me). I never had the chance to list it here or on Muse's Success because its website linked to the LJ entries and didn't have proper interior navigation. But a couple of weeks ago my web-admin and I got together and did a one-day transfer of 73+ episodes, plus illustrations so we could put together proper navigation. I submitted the serial to both sites and told my readers... that's how it showed up so abruptly on the Top Web Fiction site and on Twitter's WebFicWed tag.</p> <p>The serial's my current crowdfunded endeavor. Some of the episodes are illustrated, either with directly embedded pictures or with links to exterior sketches, both by me. It's about half-finished, and I donate some of my profit to a couple of charities that benefit active duty and wounded soldiers.</p> <p>I'm hoping the new (proper!) navigation will help new readers get into it!</p> <p>--Maggie </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/anyone-in-michigan#post-3329 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:32:40 +0000 allantmichaels 3329@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>I find my real life will have me in Ann Arbor for the next four weeks. If there are any others in the general area, I'd love to arrange a get-together.</p> <p>Let me know if anyone is interested. </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/introduce-yourself#post-35 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:01:38 +0000 allantmichaels 35@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>I've seen one of these on pretty much all the forums I go to. So I figured it'd be best to help start building the community.</p> <p>Sure, most of us know each other already, but as we grow, that won't always be the same.</p> <p>I'll start:</p> <p>I'm Allan T Michaels. I write An Empire of Law and Superstition. </p>
