AHATPOLS sequel: Check!

by Alex

I’m very pleased to announce that I will be running the sequel to “Andrew Huff And The Pool Of Lost Souls”:http://www.lulu.com/content/128306 over the winter break at “alwaysblack.com”:http://alwaysblack.com/. Alwaysblack is the author of “Bow Nigger”:http://www.alwaysblack.com/blackbox/bownigger.html, the short piece which I start out with in my Virtual Worlds class. As one of the key proponents of “New Game Journalism”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Games_Journalism his site helps push some of the best writing about video games available today. I’m very proud to have my work appear under his masthead.

Currently the piece is 19,000 words and roughly half-way done, so I expect you’ll see a drastic drop in quality as I publish rawer and rawer stuff. The stuff that is not raw is, I feel, _much_ better than AHATPOLS. I still don’t have a title for it yet, but it is set in — wait for it — Honolulu and is loosely based on the idea of a collision between the Starwars fandom and Massively Multiplayer Online Games. The main characters in this one are Rex and Kathy, although appearences are also made by Ambi (their dog), Bjork, Michel Foucault, and Senator Daniel Inouye.

Since I am now writing at Thisline, Savageminds, DGI, and now Alwaysblack, this blog will be a more personal center. I’ll alert people here when new material goes up on Alwaysblack so they can keep up w/the story by coming here. Eventually when it’s done I’ll post it here in its entirety.
