Novel-Length McKay Alt-Universe Fan Fiction--Futura Memoratia

[Socknitster]

Thank you. I worked really hard on that aspect. I was very self-conscious...never having written fan fiction...and hearing the MarySue horror stories. : ) I tried to make Emily as real of a character as I could. I learned so much from writing her. I learned to step outside of myself.

My original novel is about 75% complete now and it's getting very exciting as I near the end. I've got plans in the works for a series of sequels now, in fact.

I'm currently drafting and revising simultaneously.

I belong to a very active and prolific writer's group that's been giving me lots of encouragement and constructive criticism. It's a very talented and articulate group, so their opinions weigh heavily on my decision making process as I revise. Many of the members have commented they are excited to read more, so I believe that bodes very well indeed. : )

I'll keep you posted. When it's ready for sale, you will be among the first to know.

Well, I am reviving this old thread because those who enjoyed Futura Memoratia might also enjoy my recently released original novel, FLUENCY. It's been out for about a month and already has 80 5-star reviews on Amazon.

FLUENCY

You did it! Congrats!

I'm going to check it out!

[Socknitster]

Thank you! It's been a whirlwind and so exciting.

[WraithTech]

I can see why Fluency has so many positive reviews.

It would be a good read for McKay fans (respecting the math/science/engineering type team member) and sci-fi fans in general and would make an exciting 2 hour long pilot movie: while it ends satisfactorily for both the main protagonist's character development and the plot action, there are promising seeds sewn for future episodes. More please.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It's doing quite well! Yes, a sequel is in the works...stay tuned!

[WraithTech]

Yes! The sequel is up for sale and your book has been translated and made into several versions. Congrats! I will be adding this to my reading list for sure.

For anyone new to the thread, there are also 2 free short stories "The Grove" and "Symbiont Seeking Symbiont" up at Amazon. Very creative, quick, enjoyable scifi reads.

Thanks, WraithTech!

Yes, Fluency has been translated into Japanese, German, and Russian and I've got an Italian deal in the works, fingers-crossed. The sequel came out in March and the third book in the series, Valence, will be published in June 2017.

I rediscovered my love and talent for writing by writing fan fiction in the Stargate storyworld. I couldn't be more grateful!
