Analogs are Antiques

I’m supposed to be prepping for a mini road trip to San Diego in two days (making a return appearance at Comic-Con on behalf of Runes of Gallidon), but I can’t resist writing this before heading out of town. I just cleaned out my RSS reader, twitter, and Friendfeed updates, and I was struck – […]

Building a Renewable Entertainment Franchise

I recently finished a presentation called “Building a Renewable Entertainment Franchise”  for Brain Candy, LLC that discusses a new model for building and managing entertainment content/franchises. The presentation highlights the current challenges facing content owners in a digital age and touches on the more critical approaches to use when implementing this model. The renewable franchise […]

Erth Chronicles

Just stumbled on an interesting site, Erth Chronicles, where Richard (James Johnson) is allowing artists to submit their original works for posting on the site. He’s the author behind the Erth Chronicles fiction (Book I, The Enemy’s Son, is available for purchase now), and he’s inviting artists to submit their works to him for posting […]

Scribd v. Rowling

Math, Magic, and Storytelling Shell Games

A writer walks into a doctor’s office. “You gotta help me, doc. I keep hearing about everyone making money from self-publishing, and everywhere I go, someone’s trying to sell me their book.” “I see,” the doctor says, nodding. “So what seems to be the problem?” “Well, I figure if everyone’s writing a book, I should […]

Shared Story Worlds

A History and Future of Collaborative Storytelling

This is my (un)scientific, (non-)comprehensive, and (not at all) objective overview of the rise of collaborative storytelling: how we (more or less) got here, and where we may (kinda sorta) be heading. No particular axe to grind or agenda to sell, just my observations after watching this space for a few years. Buckle up, this […]
