About this project: I am writing a weekly sci-fi story to the theme of Isaac Arthur’s SFIA videos. It’s a crazy challenging timeframe to create a good short story in, and to do so publicly is even more daunting. I’m just hoping some good stories come out of this, I have fun writing them, and most importantly, the audience enjoys!

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I now have a speculation as to who is the mastermind and villain of the Misfits' storyline.
    I do not want confirmation or refutation. I just want to express my speculation… just to be clear, upfront.

    When Micon Prime was messed with so that whats-his-name could get into the vault and become immortal, his ethical subroutines were damaged. Micon prime is not just "an agent of chaos" but is actively malevolent. These wars have been created and guided at a distance by him. That is the mystery the misfits are tracking down.

  2. Thank you for another story in this amazing universe that you've created.

    Your worldbuilding skills are phenomenal and it has been fascinating watching you expand and flesh out what I've been referring to in my head as "The Roweverse" (which sounds much better in my head than it looks in print).

    You've created all of these factions, a coherent intermingled history, and a long history (albeit with some significant gaps in it).

    But as good as your macro skills are, the micro–the characters, the dialogue (which is enhanced by your voice acting) is even better.

    You write characters that are compelling and likable.

    My absolute favorite is Transom. As an irredeemable asshole myself, I have a special appreciation for a well written antihero).

    The conversation between Micon Prime and Transom might be my favorite bit of dialogue that I've ever read/heard. Thenk you again for all of your hard work.

    It is difficult for me to comprehend how you can generate the quality that you do and be so prolific. Do you ever sleep?

  3. The misery of human sadness and loneliness. At the same time the thought of how little can make a person feel fulfilled and happy.
    I have a question that is almost rattling me since you mentioned that TR&SP book. Could you expand on that topic in some future time.
    Because the ‘sudden’ divide(war) between the guild and the protectorate is really intriguing to me and perhaps to someone else who follows your works.
    And as usual thank you for the great story. I did really enjoy it.
