Ben Zwycky Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 This might be of interest to some people here who like to think deeply about the issues that sci-fi stories raise. It's a new monthly journal combining sci-fi and philosophy in various interesting ways. Take a look and see if it's something that will interest you. http://www.sciphijournal.com/ (I have to admit my bias here, I really want to see this journal succeed, and not just because I have a story published in issue 2 and beyond )
ShoHashi Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks for the heads-up, Ben. I'll check it out. -Sho
Ben Zwycky Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Posted November 7, 2014 By the way, issue 2 (with the start of my serial in it, as well as a lot of other excellent stuff) came out on the first of this month.
Ben Zwycky Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Posted December 8, 2014 You can read the first chapter of my contribution for free now: http://benzwycky.com/2014/11/14/beyond-the-mist-chapter-one/
ShoHashi Posted December 8, 2014 Report Posted December 8, 2014 That is some pretty darn good writing, Ben! -Sho
canshow Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 Aw hell Ben. I kind of really want to re-read your book now.
Ben Zwycky Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks guys, I think it's the best opening I've ever written, (and the rest isn't bad either :-P ). Chapters 4 and 5 will be coming out in issue 3 of the magazine in January. Canshow, there's a link to the novel's sales page in the menu bar at the top of the page there (Nobility Among Us), you can read up to the start of chapter 4 for free on the amazon page.
Ben Zwycky Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 For those of you who forgot what my voice sounds like, I gave a short audio interview on the story here: http://www.sciphijournal.com/meet-the-contributor-ben-zwycky/
Ben Zwycky Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Posted February 27, 2015 Issue 4 (with chapters 6 and 7 of my story) is out now, also available in paperback version
Ben Zwycky Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks, Derek! This is a really exciting time for me, and it's all thanks to roleplaying here that I found I had a talent for storytelling in the first place.
ShoHashi Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 .....and who said roleplaying would never get you anywhere! lol -Sho
Ben Zwycky Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Posted March 2, 2015 It's been a long process of learning and developing the craft (and I still have a long way to go, with new opportunities and challenges coming along all the time), but it started here with Derek's awesome sandbox that just begged you to create stories within it. I still can't quite believe I'm a published author now. It's a weird mixture of feelings.
ShoHashi Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 Well, if you ever want to brush up on your 3000AD universe RPG stories, stop on by! -Sho
Ben Zwycky Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Posted April 3, 2015 Any rapidly diminishing spare time I have is going into writing, but through the journal I've joined a group of sci-fi writers who will be holding an online roundtable discussion via google hangout tomorrow.
