Any idea when Atomik Age will be done?
 
Well, Mr Brian? Are you even far enough that you could hazard an estimate as to when we can read the glorius sequel? Oh yeah, and any idea if this one'll be large enough to qualify as a WMD. It had damn well better. Or I'll complain some, get banned and dedicate the remainder of my life to poking you and/or your relatives. Repeatedly. In the facemobile.

Okay, I'm done now.

I've gotten about 40 pages done so far. No idea how long it will be or how long it will take me. As a point of reference, Nuklear Age took about 4 years to write.

Freeq 01-10-2005 01:42 AM

Four years, eh? I can wait that out!

God damn it, Pratchett better write more Vimes in the meantime. You've actually managed to compete with him for my favourite author and that's quite an achievement for a first novel.

One thing's for sure, Pratchett writes faster. Then again, he doesn't write a webcomic on side.

Dammit, but he should.

Seriously, yo. It would be the second greatest ever made.

MFD 01-10-2005 01:46 PM

Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!

It'll be done when it's done.

Freeq 01-10-2005 03:26 PM

What'll be don... eh, whatever. I'll hold ya to that.

But then again, I think Nuklear Age would have been done in 3 if it wasn't his back luck with editors. But since after the sucess of his first book, the sequal should be done about a year faster. Maybe... hopefully...

I was just pondering.

I know, Brian, that you mentioned a publishing agency contacted you because of sales and then turned you down because...they didn't think .... it would sell well.

But still, even though they turned you down, do you think that with the sucess of Nuklear Age under your belt you could convince a traditional publisher to go for Atomik Age?

Or do you think you will stick with iuniverse?

Or will you assemble a ragtag group of former soldiers/prisoners, don the mantle of Hannibal and throw together a plan for getting the book published that somehow involves a bus, a few wire cutters, and Mr. T, culminating in saying the magic words, "I love it when a plan comes together." ?

Kurosen 01-10-2005 06:16 PM

The plan is to use Nuklear Age's relative success as leverage to show that Atomik Age would be worth picking up by a traditional publishing house. And, by extension, get them to also pick up Nuklear Age. No idea if it'll work, but I'm giving it a shot.
