I Want Your Novel

Bob Hayes — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:27:56 +0000

I am part-owner of a little website called The Daily Novel, where we serialize novels and make them available for free online. (We also plan to sell PDFs in the near future.)

It’s one of those Internet deals where there’s no real money in it at first (maybe a few nickels, literally) but you can get a) exposure for your work and b) have the potential for sales as the site develops. We’ve run about seventeen novels so far, in a variety of genres.

We’re looking for more, however. You keep the rights to your work, giving us only the right to put it on our site (and later, by arrangement, the PDF thing.) If you have a novel and you want to get some exposure for it, drop my partner-in-crime Cynthia an e-mail and she’ll get you set up.

This is an outrage. An outrage, I say!

Syfy Blatantly Ripping Off SJGames

SyFy, the abominable new name for what used to be the Sci-Fi channel, has a show out called “Warehouse 13“, about secret agents who work to discover strange artifacts and weird magic.

SJ Games, several years ago, put out a GURPS sourcebook called “Warehouse 23“, about secret agents who work to discover strange…hmmm.

Even the titles have a similar graphic design.

There’s homage, and then there’s ripoff. If SJ Games isn’t licensing SyFy this intellectual property, I smell another happy funtastic lawsuit for the boys in Austin.

Adolf Hitler, Disney Artist

This is just kind of weird: sketches of Disney characters done by Adolf Hitler.

What the hell category do I even put this item in?

I Can’t Believe That Was On Television

Liberal feel-good theology gets slammed onto the sidewalk in this powerful scene from “ER”. And we’re reminded what religion is here for in the first place.
