    Works in progress is a good way to describe it, or maybe projects in progress. The draft stage lets you post your excerpts and synopsis so you can get feedback and reader engagement before you start funding. It’s a great opportunity to tweak your project page to best effect so that you don’t have to sweat over that stuff while crowdfunding.

    And there probably will be some beers, lol!

      I’m also a bit hung up on "HiveCoin." I’m assuming it’s like bitcoin? Some kind of future currency or credit needed to cover interstellar transportation fees? If I’m on the right track, it’s probably not even needed in the description, it’d be enough to say "Treb must compete with 40,000 transhumans in a final contest to secure an immortality he’s not sure he wants."
      I do really like the premise, though. The idea of a cosmic energy crisis never occurred to me, but it makes perfect sense. It’s a way to bring current, real-world problems into a sci-fi setting, on a new scale. I’m intrigued.

        I was lost with HiveCoin - I can’t grasp what it might be.  I think your rework here is much better.

          I feel like the synopsis is a little too long/heavy. I’d also try to avoid terms that we can’t relate to without reading more (HiveCoin). Keeping about half still gets the same message across: "The sun is dying. Treb must compete with 40,000 transhumans to secure an immortality he’s not sure he wants. Get ready, they are about to reset the system."

            Every fusion core, regardless of size or mass, or the outside will or desires of any entity, will eventually cease to be. It will burn up in a calamitous explosion or go out as a faltering flame in the darkness. One way or another all existence has its end. Every being with consciousness that has ever existed, whether born or made, has drawn this conclusion. This inescapable realization may cause fear or a sense of freedom. My fate cannot be any different, nor would I wish it. I have existed l. . .
