I’m always interested in good fantasies, and I’m always interested in cool new ideas to get them to the folks that enjoy them. \u00a0In this particular case, I think we’ve found a really cool intersection. \u00a0Up until now, I haven’t heard about Inkshares. \u00a0But it’s a crowdfunding resource for writers that seems pretty interesting. \u00a0Just like with Kickstarter, nobody gets charged unless a book meets its preorder threshold, so you’ll never be screwed out of your reward. \u00a0From what I’ve seen, it’s still a bit of an uphill climb, but if you’ve got the talent, the drive and the ability to be personable, you can really hammer away at this new resource.<\/p>\n
Jamison Stone, the author of\u00a0Rune of the Apprentice<\/em> has all three in spades. \u00a0In what I’d call pre-production, he’s already delivered an awesome amount of supplementary material (the maps of Terra, Vai’kel and Devdan are pretty spectacular). \u00a0Of course, more importantly, what Stone delivers is a solid story. \u00a0Some free chapters of\u00a0Rune of the Apprentice<\/em>\u00a0are\u00a0up on Inkshares already.<\/p>\n With a deftly written story, Stone leads his characters\u00a0into and out of danger, weaving a\u00a0thrilling thread that connects things with a lot of poise. \u00a0His story is clever, too, with ideas that you don’t see too much of these days.<\/p>\n
