Well, Glottis's Garage appears to be in nearly perfect working order, the Grim Fandango Network main site is 95% good to go (still toiling with the hosted site update thingie), and GFC is about 80% back. The news script is still messed up, and won't be fixed until Zaarin gets back so he can access it's admin section and make the necessary fixes.

Here is a tip to anyone wanting to print this out and save the environment at the same time: don't bother. You will try to print on both sides of the paper. Your printer will print the first side and then eat the paper when you feed it through again. Your printer hates you. You have been warned.

 

And that is my excuse for never reading this thing, despite the fact I downloaded it when it was first unleashed. Honest! :)

That's why I locked the PDF version so it couldn't be printed. It's easy on the eyes on screen, but it's almost 400 pages long.

 

Have you read The Sprouting of Don Copal, venom? Probably not. It sort of got lost during the long server switch.

 

Which reminds me. The thing needs better exposer than it's getting. There's Helios' site, but the novel page hasn't been updated to include the short story (and it's his site so I can't pester him) and he doesn't seem to be active any more. My briefcase isn't exactly high profile. Maybe someone with an active site would be willing to mirror.

 

There will be a new 'installment' tomorrow, a Valentine's Day-themed piece.

I wonder if, some distant day, any professional novelists will emerge from the fan-fiction thing. It's possible; look at Star Trek. On the other hand, unlike the ST fan fiction of the '70s, computer game FF writers seem to be more or less isolated from each other. Computer games as such aren't much of a unifier, and there doesn't seem to any equivalents to the fanzine.

This is an interesting thread, so I'll delurk.

 

You're right, there isn't anything resembling a network of computer game fanfic writers. The best resource I know of is this website, and it's basically dead at the moment. There just aren't enough active writers: Monkey Island fanfiction has maybe five, estimating very generously.

 

Also, Niko: there is another :D
