Bang! Zoom! It's Barsoom!

24 hours charging got to 73%...didn't check this morning.

I agree the anunnaki (at least I believe that was an anunnaki relief) should stay somehow. 

Full disclosure on this next, I am kind of a one track mind, so it might not fit your style, but Pyrebound is a good name, and if I were to advise someone of a font, I'd suggest HorrorMaster or even Nosferotica from Sinisterfonts.com.  Free fonts, you get the license to use in the file.

Ideally I'd probably want something vaguely suggestive of cuneiform but I don't imagine you could have that and still be legible.  The cover that mockup is from would be primarily for Royal Road, which has different priorities from a Kindle cover; it would need to be distinct and eye-catching at a fairly small size.  Much as I love my winged-sun-dude.

Kindle SAYS it's charging but is going back down...

Okay, so my buddy who did the mockup ran it through an art AI and got results which, uh, might make it more appealing to Uno?

I dig the burning temple/altar, not terribly sure of the dead/dying dude with weirdo spear or random sky thing.  I’d say burning altar centered and title would be my favorite.  Bonus points to work flying sun nan relief onto altar.

Just popping back in to let y'all know what I'm up to when I'm not doing overtime at the hospital: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/58715/secondhand-sorcery
(the independent serial scene is pretty much dead now, plus Wordpress's new editor is frankly terrible)

...At least I didn't post this over there...

[Elok]

... I'm not totally sure why you made that?  But yes, true enough.

Also 2Sor has 74 Royal Road followers (ie people who signed up to be notified every time a new chapter drops).  Yay.

I made it because I was getting ahead making nasty ones for someone else, just-in-case --- and had a whim.

-I really need to catch up with Pyrebound and start this, now that I'm in the mood to bother doing anything...

[Elok]

I don't want to get hopes up, but ... I am working on a side project.  Just part of the first chapter so far.

[Buster's Uncle]

This gets my hopes up.

As it happens, I only recently finished lazy-editing 2Sor for print/kindle (Shelok's gonna try to make covers, releasing it as a trilogy since PB was way too big and 2Sor is substantially longer) and resumed the Spring Break project, preserving the original paragraph I wrote like ten years ago.

Early this year I stumbled over an old email from Mylochka about a Sulu story she'd half-written about ten years ago -and forwarded, since what the heck, w/ some encouragement- all written since, and pretty good.


Now, she told me last week she's resuming the Gary Mitchell and young Kirk on the mugatu planet adventure she was thinking about back then, and I happened to stumble over an email about THAT Saturday, and sent it back, just a coincidence.

Everybody's got a Potsie, y'know, and Mitchell was Kirk's...
