DAX FANS!
Hey, readers!
I was planning to save this upload for our 4th Detective Sunday, but I believe I should let you all know early from a solid source. In my previous Detective Sunday, I explained that I had joined the co-event between Drinkshares: Last Call and Inkshares, but I didn’t give all the details. This update will be covering all of that. Also, go check out some of the other authors such as myself. They need your support as well!
Get ready, because Draftshares is about to begin!
When: May 30th - June 4th
Readers: Check out as many drafts (projects currently in the Draft stage) as you can during the week of May 30th - June 3rd, and participate by opening and commenting on your favorite drafts’ excerpts.
Why: To encourage community engagement...and, PRIZES!
Prizes you say?: Yes! For every Draft (or synopsis*) you critique, you will be entered into a drawing for the following:
Prizes for Anyone
Prizes for Authors
Drafters: Let us know if you’d like to receive a soft critique or a hard critique by messaging a member of the DLC cast or tweeting your project link @drinkshareslc with either the #critiquemekindly or #critiqueme hashtags. If you want your synopsis critiqued, include the hashtag #critiquemypage too.
Soft Critiques (#critiquemekindly): This is the default critique if the author has not specifically requested a hard critique. The tone should be supportive and curious. Point out things you like, comment on the broader story ideas, and ask questions.
Hard Critique (#critiqueme): Only give a hard critique if the author has specifically asked for one. This is where grammatical errors, typos, and oversights can be pointed out. It’s best to include elements of a soft critique too, but you can unleash your inner editor a bit more here.
*Synopsis Critique (#critiquemypage): Interested Drafters should create a thread in the Inkshares forum (https://www.inkshares.com/forum_threads?topic=promo), linked to their book draft, titled “Synopsis Edits: [Book Title Goes Here].”
Throughout the week, fellow authors will browse these threads and offer help with editing and improving your project page synopsis so you’re better prepared to switch over to funding with a fantastic, compelling, error-free introduction to your book!
Not sure where to start? Check out these Drafts first!:

Watch: Tune in at https://youtu.be/82ged3xwwew on Saturday, June 4th @ 4/3 Central to watch us discuss the drafts and announce the winners!
Until next time, Sixth.
Keep up the hard work promoting Tantalus Depths, my friends. We’re making definite progress. As a reward for your hard work getting us this far, I’m offering a special promotion:
If Tantalus Depths reaches 250 pre-orders by June 5th, I will make my original short story, The Perspective Machine, free to download for everyone for a short time. Unlike Tantalus Depths, which you’ll still have to wait until the campaign ends and the editing process concludes before you can read, The Perspective Machine is finished and already published online. It’ll be free to download the instant we hit 250 orders!
The Perspective Machine
When a secret society dedicated to perfecting humanity’s flaws develops a machine capable of granting one person full omniscience, they believe they hold the key to mankind’s salvation in their hands. The mentally handicapped brother of one of their members seems to be the perfect subject to receive the machine’s power...but is he? What will become of the world when the power of a god falls into the hands of a man?
