Rollplay Swan Song Fan Novel

Hi!

I’m currently 40,000 odd words into NaNoWriMo 2016, with my novel taking place (with some strategic creative license) in the Swan Song universe.

Nearly done in terms of word count - the aim for NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words in November - so when I am happy with it, I will be looking to post that bad boy online somewhere

In short - watch this space!

Looking forward to it!

Yes please! How far are you planning to dive into the series? All the way through to the last ep?

I’ve played with the timeline a bit so that it fits in with Episode 50.

The book itself focuses on a few of the factions as they respond to the destruction of Kamna and the ongoing march of the Warmind.

Most of the characters are originals - a less-than-confident Richardson weapons technician, a member of Pfotenhauer’s Maltech Division and a couple of others who I may reveal later on :grin:

As of right now, I am 46k words in, and around 3/4 finished.

Look out for more posts about The Fretheim Phenomenon at the end of November!

Just a quick update - NaNoWriMo is over, and the final word tally is 60,033! Just the big boss battle to write, then a tweak, then I will be looking to put this up somewhere!

A quick update - the first draft of my Swan Song Novel is complete! (All 68,000 words of it :open_mouth: ) :smiley: With the announcement of the live show in Feb, I’m hoping to get this tidied up a bit and put up somewhere for people to read before then!

Kamna should have fixed it.

Kamna didn’t fix it.

And now, Asgard Sigma is dying.

The entire Sector looks towards Richardson Scientific for salvation, whilst the Warmind has returned to his destructive ways, intent on destroying the universe before the laws of nature even have a chance.

Humanity is doomed.

Unless he can be found.

Asgard Sigma is dying, and its only hope might be the brilliant minds at Richardson Scientific. At such a desperate time, even Dr Sadiq- a modern day weapon smith used to bringing destruction, not fleeing it- wants to play his part. Except the role he has been asked to play doesn’t quite line up with his expectations…

AsgaRd Sigma is dying. The Warmind is on the loose. Pirates. The pressure on the Pfotenhauer Society has never been greater. With resources stretched and multiple threats, the task of taking down the Warmind has been handed to Mr Calvin. As both a Maltechnician and a Black Ops Soldier, he seems perfectly suited to the job, if he can keep his intellectual curiosity in check.

AsgaRd SiGma is dying. With the end of the universe at hand, The Luminary has disbanded, each member keen to secure their own survival. For The Intellect, this means entrusting one of his most faithful with an important task.

With her advanced psychic powers and high calibre military training, only Élise can do it.

Only Élise can find The Rook.

ASgaRd SiGmA is DyiNg. As usual, the AI are to blame. Since L’Enfant escaped their grasp, they have been quiet. Waiting. Now they have a lead. One which could help them find and erase the most elusive AI of their time.

Agent Bo Buchler is their best. Cold hearted and stony faced, Agent Buchler embodies everything that The Perimeter Agency could ask for. It is only fitting that he should be tasked with striking the final blow.

It took me way too long to realize what the password actually was cantalope. I’ve only typed in 900 times lol. Still reading my way through, very well done.
