Joseph Terzieva liked an update for Asteroid Made of Dragons

We won. We won again. We double-won. If winning the first time was like meeting a unicorn, this is like that same unicorn wants to take you to McDonald's and swears that it won't eat your fries and only wants to talk about Kurosawa films and Stephen Universe.

Okay - I'm not making sense. You should be used to it by now.

Our campaign was selected to be in the Sword & Laser Collection - Asteroid Made of Dragons won the grand prize. Don't believe me?!? (Wise.) Watch this video and listen to Veronica Belmont announce the winners.

S&L Collection Winner!

Big congratulations to the other grand prize winner The Life Engineered by JF Dubeau. Only proper that Sword & Laser make two picks! 

I have a lot more to say, but right now it's all melting down into plasma-gratitude. You guys did this. Your support got us here and I am so beyond excited to deliver. Once my heart stops flamenco dancing I'll start updating you - I will update you within an inch of your life. Updates on the progress of the draft, the projected schedule for writing, that artwork I want to get for you guys, pant pant, audiobook?, what HAVE I DONE. It's going to be an amazing ride, and you are the best cadre of scalawags and sorcerers I could ever wish to take it with.

Just thank you. Thank you all so very much. I am borderline guaranteed to be sobbing in my tub tonight, my obsidian heart splintering and shining forth a gentle glow the color of lilacs.

If you're not getting enough of me here - come find me on Twitter @gderekadams or at my regular blog spell-sword.com .  This is the last scene of Rudy, y'all. This is the stupid, stupid end of Independence Day - let us swagger across the internet desert, smoking cigars with Jeff Goldblum. Squires and Wild Mages you are officially instructed to party down.

    Hello sentients,

    I didn't expect to have to make this announcement, but here we are. When I got onto the Inkshares platform to crowdfund The Life Engineered it was because of the Sword & Laser Collection contest. However, despite having a very attractive grand prize of a full publication run with Inkshares, coaching from Gary Whitta and an interview with Sword & Laser, not to mention being part of the Sword & Laser collection of course, I had no aspirations to reach such heights. Even the concept of finishing in the top five and getting published seemed like a challenging goal but at least that was attainable.

    So I entered and I campaigned and through the patience and support of, well, you fine intelligences, we managed to get The Life Engineered into the top five and I was ecstatic.

    Then this happened today.

    Go head and click on that link. Watch the video and come back. I'll wait.

    So there we are. The Life Engineered will be one of two books, along with the awesomely titled 'Asteroid Made of Dragons', to premier in the Sword & Laser Collection. Dear readers, give yourselves a high-five, shake your own hand and slap yourself on the back because you did it. My congratulations to you for succeeding in this and my thanks for what you have given me. 

    Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go have some chocolate to celebrate.

    JF

      One more thing!

      I promise not to send too many updates, but in the last email the writer links were scrambled. It is important you have access to these writer's works.

      These Old Bones by A. J. Ainsworth

      Ghosts of War by Paul Robinson

      A military sci-fi thriller, 'Ghosts of War' is a planet hopping tale of revenge and retribution, born out of a love of Star Wars and science fiction.

        Hello Everyone, 

        Have you seen the emails yet? You did it! Thanks to your support, Inkshares will publish Lost Generation. Your support places an incredible faith in me, and I will give all that I have to deliver a product worth of the opportunity. In this update, I describe what is next, but first I’d like to give some thanks and recommendations. 

        I feel incredibly lucky for the support of my amazing wife, Brenda. She was my inspiration when I doubted myself and a key supporter for spreading the word. I look forward to continued success with you in my life as we grow our family together and pursue our dreams. 

        Thank you, D Kirschling, when I was uncertain you used your connections to expose a whole new set of readers to my work. You were the microphone that spread the word when I needed to focus on writing. 

        Dan Rooney, you were a madman. You believed in my goals from day one, edited draft after draft, and always gave good feedback. You were up late with me, attuned to the heartbeat of the campaign. My work would be less without you. Take a breath and then maybe take your fiancé out to dinner for putting up with it all. 

        Angela Antinucci, when I first took my campaign online, you pre-ordered it immediately, no questions asked. I had not even mentioned it to you yet. The world could use more people like you. 

        I am so lucky to be a Sword & Laser winner, but before the project ended, I already won. The bonds and friendships that grew between me and the other writers are greater than any prize and will produce fruit for years to come. As we all fought for the coveted top five positions, nothing was certain, and some of us would not make it. As we celebrate this victory, there are several equally worthy writers that did not earn this chance. I would like to highlight them and ask that if you have remaining credits, or feel generous, that you support their dreams as well. They provided invaluable companionship in the late nights, and I hope to share self-space with all of them in the future.

        These writers deserve your attention and share my dream. Please consider them. 

        In the weeks and months that follow, you will receive status updates on the project and updated drafts. I welcome your feedback and hope you will enjoy the journey to Lost Generation’s official release. Thank you again for your support. I will take this opportunity and create something truly special. 

        PS. My wife has some free time from work, so I’m not proofing this. Sorry for any mistakes, but you have to enjoy life when it is available. Have a wonderful night!
