Stuff that I am doing 26/5/17
Added 2017-05-26 09:15:00 +0000 UTCKay: I've finished the script for the Thin Ice Review, recorded it, gonna edit it tonight and get started on pictures and the edit over the bank holiday weekend - so five buck patrons, get your pictures in if you want a caricature in this one (stubagful@gmail.com) - will probably have it released 1 week today, so 2nd of June. I am hoping to get reviews of Knock Knock and Oxygen done in June too so if ya miss this one, there's always more.
Will probably end up posting some stills from Class#5 here in due course. I've recorded the audio and got most of the first scene drawn.
I've also been thinking about setting up an alt channel called "Stubaghalful" for random vlogs, shitposting, patreon exclusives and livestreams - basically stubagful but more casual, off the cuff & relaxed on quality. I think this is a good idea cause it might help me refine my material and come up with new ideas for . I've been thinking about a series of livestreams where I watch shitty TV and comment over it and invite guests on.
....yeah I have too many ideas and not enough time to indulge in them as is kinda obvious.
I've also been thinking about livestreaming brainstorming sessions for that short story anthology of speculative short stories I told everyone about in my last boring update video at the end of the year and having a chat feed so I can talk to you guys about it.
Anyone interested in my progress on Broken Systems (just noticed the acronym of my working title is BS)
I've had to cut a story since I mentioned it at Christmas and have written 2 more since.
I've submitted to a tonne of contests since then, so watch this space. A rule I see time and time again is that the story I'm submitting cannot have been published anywhere else prior to submission, so I probably won't be doing another short story video until/if something bites.
I've currently got 11 stories, word count is 32'535. I'm still trying to weave the stories together so one flows into the next in terms of themes, tone, etc.
Current table of contents looks like this:
1. Be Brave, Printer Old Friend
2. Cutting Edge
3. The Internet Always Remembers: A Cautionary Tale for the Digital Age
4. Automated Incompetence
5. A Beautiful Industry
6. Erased Data
7. I'm just a Character in a Broken Video Game
8. ???
9. ???
10. Shiny Paper
11. The Man Who was 51% Broken
12. ???
13. ???
14. My Body sends me Warning Signs
15. ???
16. Death Imitates Life
So yeah, got a fair bit of work to do on that front as you can see, but its coming along. I'm trying to take easy and take my time with it, if I force any of this, its not gonna come out right and I want this book to come out right. Been working on it since late 2014, I'd hate all this time to go to waste.
Anyway, s'all for now, I'll try and make these posts weekly
Thank you everyone :)
