Hello all my FRC peeps! I'm dropping in for my once a several years visit. Well I've written a novel and am getting very close to publishing. The first official rough draft is complete and I'm looking for a couple giddy test readers who would like to give it a go and shoot me some feedback. This book is not D&D related, however I drew heavily upon my NWN (especially FRC) experiences when writing it, so you'll see a lot of familiar characters in the pages. It's a sci-fi/fantasy novel and so far the feedback has been good. This is the first of the series and I owe it to FRC for planting the seeds to make it possible. I've attached the cover, let me know what you think, and if you'd like to be a test reader for me, shoot me a PM or reply to the thread and we'll talk turkey! Cheers!

Thanks, you too. Some day I'll resurrect Manshin and make you pay for that "Manshin sucks eggs" comment. haha.
I've got my first two test readers, let me know if you're interested! I'm hoping to be published on kindle and amazon by mid next year.

Okay, I've got 3 test readers. Any other takers? Where are you Grozer? You're going to love reading about Manshin slapping Ranan around silly and revealing his pink lingerie...

It is quite the accomplishment to write a book. Well done! I have done a few small efforts to take in-game events and compose a small tale about what happened. It isn't very easy to do. I would be interested in reading the tale. What sort of feedback are you looking for?

Yes it was quite an endeavor. Over a year to complete the rough draft, but a lot of ideas came from my nwn days so that helped. I was able to enter the project with a host of likeable (and dislikable) characters already fleshed out because of it.
I'm looking for a critique and general feedback. I am on a mission to write professionally and I need to know if I've got at least a passable and entertaining book here. If not, I guess I need to know why. PM me your email Gathera if you'd like to test read. Thanks!

Manshin, I'd be interested in being a beta-reader. I currently have two other things I'm beta-reading so it may be a bit for feedback. (I'm 45 pages into one and just need to jump back into it. The other one I haven't started yet because I only have it in digital format and I want to print it before I read it.) I've almost finished a manuscript myself so I'll be looking for beta-readers eventually. (Hopefully sooner than later.) Anyway, I can beta-read. Anything sent my way should have a pretty large time window on it. PM me and I'll drop you my email.
