Welcome to Kevin (and why hasn't Karen checked in? :D). Your Gazette looks like a neat site! It appeals to my old west heart. Pass the Colt 45 please---but only if I can shoot it! I'll take a helping of silver bullets though at this point in my life.
Again--welcome to both of you! Meg
(So did the tornado take you to Oklahoma? --via Oz of course?)
Would love to see some of your photos of the old steam engine!

(Grin),
Alas, the only western influence is that Grantville was transported from "West Virgina" to 1630 Germany. It is actually a Shared universe created by Eric Flint when he wrote 1632, originally a standalone Y2K novel, that popularity pushed in to 3,500,000 of "paid for" words of fiction. It expanded into seven novels, two hard back anthologies, and 15 (currently, published bi monthly) collections of short stories. As a market the Gazette pays 6 cents a word, and prefers stories of 5000 to 15000 words. Also 25% of each Gazette is made up of "Fact" articles (my main contribution) about making things work with the limited tech base that came back through time.
However here is a link to the club site for the 2926, our photo section goes from the original move out of the park, to last week.

Enjoy,

Hrm...Author's in progress...yep thats me...lets see how many 'projects' I have rolling that I can never seem to finish;
(listed in order started)
"Arkestone" (tm) and (c)
Fantasy with Magic-Tech elements and people descended from bargains with Otherwordly Powers; Element-blood, Animal Blood etc...
Starts following the end of the Overthrow of the King of one of the largest Kingdoms. Story centers around the Fleeing Princess of said Kingdom, the Drug-Addicted Captian of Her guard and the Captain's former lover and Fallen king's Champion.
"Idol City" (tm) and (c)
A Super hero story that explores a world where heroes and viallains are treated like major Celebrities and the inevitable fallout form a Fall from grace. Also covers the Conspiracies that both created them and try to manipulate them. Story centers around a Young and popular Pop-singer/healer, her old friend with a Sad past whom she loves dearly and a Young, Arrogant Reality TV star who is secretly in love with her.
"Nevermore" (tm) and (c)
A modern day Faerie tale revolving around the "Nevermore Home for Wounded Myths, Legends and Faerie-tales". A Hospital/Sanitarium/Sanitorium for Supernatrual creatures. Most of the action revolves aorund a group of young students and friends who get lost on their way to elsewhere and eventually make their way 'Home' and on their way become involved with the return of an Ancient evil and their destined roles in those same events. Through the course of the story their own personal demons and backgrounds grounds are revealed and dealt with for better or for worse. No one comes Home who doesn't need to be there...
"The Tao of Od" (Tentative titles) (tm) and (c)
Actually a children's story series about a very Od man. I may post 1 of the stories labor. Funny and sweet.
"Living Dead Girl" (Tentative title) (tm) and (c)
My current project about a Xombie girl from the 1940's who awakens in the 2400's trapped between Life and Death by her own Willpower. The story I've so far come up with is that she is ultimatley ona quest for vengeance against the Corporation that revived her from a 400-year slumber then abandoned her when she became a Liability. She is accompanied by a Soul-eating Saurian Alien and afaithful and freakishly intelligent dog-like creature named "Phydeaux". It's eventually goind to involve her very odd romance with a Blood-morph bounty hunter...(simplest explanation I could come up with for him)
...now if I could ever actually FINISH one...8P
Dante Inferno:
Heh, I'm probably quite a screwed up case of an A-I-P.
Trying to write a novel based on Arthurian legend and failing. Miserably.
meg_evonne:
so where are you messed up? recently completed something with a nod to the same. Glad to help you talk (or write :) ) through it! Love puzzles---and needing a challenge. I'm in between projects. Working on something that needs a lot of behavioral/isolation psychology research--so I'm booking the internet. I'm not even sure if the science is grounded enough that I can make it fly. First time ever I'm putting together the outline first--if it doesn't fall in place than I'll start something else.
