BBA Novel In Process!

Post by RonCo » Tue Oct 01, 2019 11:31 am

All right, gang...I've put this off for too long, and the opportunity has risen its head, so I'm going to jump in.

There will soon be in existence a BBA novel. I'm planning to do the first draft this month, writing in public, as it were. My intention is to tell tell some kind of actual story while weaving in the BBA environment as much as practical. I don't expect it will be particularly commercial--but to be direct, while anyone here who wants a free e-book will get one, I do indent to make it available for sale to the general public. This means I want to be clear that if you would like to be in the book itself, I'll need to have you opt-in. It is completely fine if you'd prefer not to be referenced, there is zero concern there. In my old PEBA books I referenced GMs with their permission and did not reference folks who didn't want to be referenced. :)

I have no idea what roles I'll have everyone in. These things just kind of happen. But I promise to not be totally nasty to anyone without the Loserville aura about them [grin].

So, long story short, if you want to opt-in, please do PM here with an direct notice that it's okay for me to use your persona. If you have any specific requests, I'll do my best to honor them--but since I have no idea what the story is right now, I can't make any absolute promises.

The story of Al Hoot? Will there be charts and graphs?

After years of rejection I've determined that very few people like a lot of charts and graphs in their fiction.

After this you will have achieved enough participation points to unlock the final level.... purchase a Landis ring for 1,000,000 PP.

In all seriousness, congrats and good luck. Can't wait to read it.

I don't know if you were around in the PEBA at the time, but once everyone chipped in on a project similar to the media guide and the commish actually made a physical book and shipped it out to us. It's probably more then 10 real life years ago. I still have mine somewhere. Need to pull it out and reread it.

How cool would it be if we actually got a ring for winning the Landis? Not like a $60 ring or anything, but like a $10 or $20 ring if there is such a thing.

I think a 75th Anniversary Media Guide would be worthy of being printed...
