MeddlingMonk Posted December 27, 2001 Author Share Posted December 27, 2001 Originally posted by Helios The novel kicked some ass. Very bony ass. Now, if that novel page would just get re-updated there'd be a pair of asses to kick. Poor Mojo. Three months down and it'll probably take at least that long for every hosted site to get back in form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 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.

MeddlingMonk Posted December 28, 2001 Author Share Posted December 28, 2001 World of Monkey Island is back now. The Scumm Bar is still in Mini form. LucasFans is 404. Others are back, others Mini, others MIA. I wonder how many sites will stay gone? Will Plunder3D ever see the light of day? What is that thing crawling up my leg?

Huz Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted February 12, 2002 Author Share Posted February 12, 2002 That's what digital photocopiers are for. Actually, that's what monitors are for, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venom378 Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Monk, I love the work you did with the game making it into a novel. It freakin rules. I printed out the novel a few months back a read it on a road trip. I didnt even bother trying to do it on both sides lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeddlingMonk Posted February 13, 2002 Author Share Posted February 13, 2002 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.

Metallus Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 I'll be glad to host/mirror it once GFN4 is up. I'm going to launch wednesday of next week, done or not. The design is complete, but I'm still sorting out the techincal stuff. A lot of that can be worked on without readers noticing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallus Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 I just need your eternal soul wrapped in a manilla folder. Seriously, I don't think there's much else I need besides the files, but I'll let you know when the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeddlingMonk Posted March 5, 2002 Author Share Posted March 5, 2002 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryback Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
