The new shred group... Whose function is clearly to punish one particular member would appear to be quite debilitating. No one to see your posts... Can't see others... It'd be hard to survive long in there. Hard not to fade away...

There will be other crews to pick from when I'm done
I'm trying to figure out a point-buy system to allow people to build their own crew (I mean tng had two doctors) so that people can customize their entries.
Unfortunately, Star Trek Enterprise and Discovery didn't make the cut, as I've never seen them and wouldn't be able to judge. If there are volunteer judges, I will add them. I plan to include non-ST series on a "would-like" basis such as a Luke-Leia-Han_Chewie team, And a Sinclair-Delenn-G-Kar-Garibaldi team. Sadly, I was disinterested in Firefly but a team of that is feasible - just don't expect fair judging.
This contest should be ready early to mid spring

I thought I'd drop a teaser about this. It will be crew-vs-crew.

No active marketing occurring at this time, but when there is, it's [K w a n] doing it, which is why I'm a little hard to find. Just Google her name plus her home town (H i l l v a l e) or some other identifier for Google to latch onto, and you should find her fb, her G+, her blog and other goodies.
Marketing is down to the occasional passive "I'm still here" post. Will spin it back up once Book 4 (K i m b e r l y) is around 6 months from the press (So, probably October).
Yes, I live in Hamilton. No, that address Google gives you is wrong. I don't know where that's cached from but I'd hardly want it to update to current, so I'm ok with it as is

I'm not sure either the original title nor the new will snag your target market.
I wouldn't worry too much about the target market... they will find you if you market right.
There is a market for every story - just need to find it. Tolkien ate 20ish editors telling him there was no market. Look at where he is now. Hmm. Ok he's dead ,so terrible example, but if he was alive, he'd shout something like "Those movies are terrible!"

K, is there a service in Canada like Amazon Video that allows you to rent videos for a few days and stream them? I don't mind paying $4 occasionally to see a film that I don't want to own.
Dunno much of that stuff. I don't consume very much video media. Yet to see any of the Pirates or Transformers or anything, but I did finally get to the live action Beauty & the Beast.

Pretty toasty here in Ontario. I had a bottle of OJ last week that I pushed into the snow on a table at the local watering hole and the snow finally thawed enough that I found it again today. I've been defrosting it for a bit now and can almost drink it

Meesa thinkin youza is crazy for likin Jar-Jar
I was ok with Jar Jar's speech patterns, however I found he brought excessive levity to the story. I mean the story already has tons of comedy (eg the chain of bigger fish eating each other) and here you have a main who can't sell your serious scenes.
He's like WWE Wrestler Doink the Clown who gets occasional matches to lighten the mood in longer events. But imagine you're stuck with this clown in every match. No matter how desperate or dire the match-- or emotional the foe, there's this clown standing there in the background.

The critics LOVED Phantom Menace. Within one day of its release to the norms, Jar Jar was the most hated thing on the planet, momentarily eclipsing Justin beiber.
Then the critics loved Ep2 because Jar jar was muted, but they forgot ep2 was so unmemorable most people need google to tell you the central villain.
It stands to reason that the studio only allows critics to publish favourable reviews (By the way, books do that with Kirkus and similar reviews).

Indeed. The AlphaOmega group's system would appear to be quite stressful. People like me who can go moths between reviews would get booted quickly.
