[pink]A futuristic tale that mixes sci-fi with ancient mythology, as a band of ragtag friends try to protect Earth with the use of alien technology. [/pink][/b][/i] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The one-line synopsis makes it sound like Stargate, but trust me, it isn't. I'm finally getting somewhere with this story. I just finished the first chapter. So after surviving a small explosion that cripples the prison ship. Brad(POV), Speck, and the Commander have crashed on the alien world. 22 pages, but it's done. Il started the second chapter today, and it would be nice to have it done by Friday. We will see....

It sounds intriguing.... I am curious about something...will a publisher still publish someone if they have posted thier works on the internet? I often wondered about that....

Thanks Enchant. This and several other stories constantly buzzes my brain.
I wonder about this too, which is why I'm careful. I don't mind publishing the little stuff (short stories and the novella's) but not the novel. As for forums like this, I don't know. I guess it could be consiered a 'reprint', but since only a selected amount of people can see....I just don't knwo.
I should ask my workgroup.

Please do and let us know, I am curious about this aspect. I wondered if placing it within a forum would be considered works already in open domain....and now giving the publisher exclusivity.

Well I sent off the question, and it's sort of uncertain territory. Some publishers could take it as being published, and therefore not print it, but I guess it depends on who you submit to.
At any rate, I"m not taking any chances Enchant. I removed my stories. I don't want to give anyone any reason not to publish me.
Sorry.
