MemberPraetorianOct-06-2017 12:57 PMAfter a long stretch, and considerable patience on the part of everyone here, ALIEN: Manticore is now finished and available on Scribd!
LINK: ALIEN: Manticore
As it is fan-fiction, it is--of course--available without charge.
Please take a moment to read the Dedication, as it is Dedicated to all of you here as well as those who built this beloved franchise. :)
Okay, here's the link to the story on Issuu...however I have to become a Premium publisher to be allowed to select the 'download' function for the audience.
HOWever...I have a work-around...though the formatting issue from converting from RTF to PDF are GLARING and bother me greatly, the story is still the same.
The following links SHOULD allow downloads if Scribd gives you grief.
I don't think you need to sign up for the trial on Scribd though, I think you can close that window/pop-up with the 'x' in the upper right corner and then use the 'download' function...but if not, there's the links below. :)

MemberOvomorphAug-05-2018 12:37 AMi strongly agree with the idea of an audio book . . .i have audible and got most of the alien audio books and it would not be out of place in my collection . . . . .fantastic idea.

MemberPraetorianAug-05-2018 12:59 AMI don't feel I have words adequate to properly express my appreciation of the incredible and wonderful compliment you paid me and my work!!
'Thank-you' will have to do, but I trust you know that I mean it with absolute sincerity and the deepest appreciation for what you said. :)
I'm not sure HOW to shop it around, I have tried contacting Fox and Titan books, to no avail as-yet, but then who knows what might happen tomorrow or next week?
In the meantime, until/if Fox calls, I am quite happy writing these stories for the fanbase. :)

MemberPraetorianAug-05-2018 1:36 AMThank-you for saying!! :)
I'll start looking into it. I'm going to have to be careful of copyright issues, there's only so much protection that 'fan-fiction' offers and audiobooks are big business these days.

MemberPraetorianAug-05-2018 11:41 PMThank-you for saying!!
...and don't worry, I will. :)
As for getting published, I have submitted some Original works of mine to ANALOG and ASIMOV'S, but they were turned down. However, that's the nature of the business, and I'll keep trying. Also, just because a work got turned down just means I'll make it available on my own via Issuu and Scribd and other platforms.
That all said, Thank-you again for the sentiment and compliments!! I really appreciate them and it's probably no surprise that such encourage a writer to keep writing and working on improving as well. :)

MemberPraetorianAug-10-2018 12:42 AMAh, good!! Thanks for letting me know! I tested them myself, but until someone else tests links I make, I always have doubts.
Thanks for easing my mind about them! :)

MemberPraetorianAug-18-2020 3:55 PMFor the record...Issuu works 'okay'...but unless I pay about $40 USD/Month people cannot download my works. I COULD offer them for sale---BUT...fan-fiction, and don't wanna get sued by the Mouse Machine.
SO, here's the Download Links from my Pen Name google drive.
I am still working on mastery of format and PDF...I'm getting there...ALIEN: Manticore looks a lot better now. :)

MemberPraetorianAug-18-2020 8:11 PMWell, rest assured they'll be ready for you when you are!
And Thank-You so very much for the Compliment and words of support!!!
If there's any trouble with the Links, please let me know--anyone and everyone. I'm 99.999% Sure they work alright...but just in case, if there's a problem, I'll fix it.
As I said, I'll be around a lot more--writing allowing of course. :D
New comp, new keyboard, new mouse...and new word processor software that lets me save as PDF...just saying :)
But I have returned and will be around, to be sure.
