Announcing -- not an interactive game but an interactively developed novel
series. Appologies is only interactive games are in keeping with this newsgroup.
I could not tell for sure from reading current messages.

I am seeking authors with similiar interests and feed back on the content,
presentation model and web presentation of my site.

We are experimenting with the model of presentation. The site is a workshop
open to visitors not a finished product.

A game, to me, is something without thematic or artistic control. I am groping
toward presenting fictional development as an art form with some blurring of
the roles of creators and audience, and material in various stages moving toward
a more, rather than a less, finished product. But, perhaps, reserving the
possibility of variations.

My models are personal experience with my own creation, informed by a lifelong
interest in frameworks such as the Star Trek universe and Authurian legend.

Please feel free to repost this message anywhere you feel it belongs, or to
inform me of (possibly more approrpiate?) means of reaching people who may
share my interests.

Thanks for reading my announcement.
