Sylum Advent 2016 – Sign Ups

 

Yes it is that time again.

Advent is just around the corner, I’m not even sure where the year went.  No really I’m not.

I’m again sending out the call, *poking*, pleading, COME ON GUYS!  There are over 1000 characters in the Sylum Wiki, not all of them are being used in stories or have stories.   Join us crazy people who do this every year!  Write a story, doesn’t have to be epic, small time stamp is good.  Produce artwork, either drawn or digital – could be for characters, a particular story, clan, Bob.  Fanmix – put together a list of songs for a character, story or clan.

There are many great opportunities to participate!

What is Sylum Advent? 

Sylum Advent s is our Annual Winter Event.  It will start on December 1st and go through to Boxing Day, December 26th.  It will focus on Sylum Stories, but we also accept Sylum Art, fanmix, and videos.  It’s not uncommon to see stories that are set up that will relate to major Arcs.

What do you need to do to participate?

You will need to sign up and state what your interested in doing.

REMINDER:  All Sylum Stories will need to be approved by Bj Jones – It’s not difficult to work with me for storyline.   I’ll be honest it’s best if you focus on stories that aren’t attached to main characters being used in Arcs or stories by other authors.  If you’re interested in doing a Sylum Story contact me (sylumclan@yahoo.com).  DO NOT write the story then send it, seriously guys – not a good idea.  Drop me an email … we’ll talk.

How do I sign up?

Reply to this Post.

Sign Ups close September 1st.  If we do not get your request, by then it will not be included.

Is there a deadline of when the Fic/Art needs to be Finished?

Yes!

– Check-in will be on October 1st, 15th & November 1st.

– All Fic/Art will need to finished and emailed to (sylumclan@yahoo.com) by November 25th.  No exceptions.  I understand life happens, if you realize that you won’t be able to make the deadline or get the story/art done, please let me know ASAP so I can adjust posting schedule.

I have questions?

– Drop a reply to this post with a *FLAIL* *HELP* with contact info and we’ll get back to you.

Personal Post: Review of Conversations in Real Time

conversations-in-real-time1500x2400-120dpi

 

Quick Announcement!

When Barnes & Noble posted the book a few weeks back, they kinda forgot to add: the synopsis, about the author, and generally everything about the book.

It’s been fixed!!

So once again, you can find Conversations in Real Time at Barnes & Noble – this time with all the relevant information!!  So if you went and checked out earlier and wondered why it was pretty much blank, this would be why.   Take a second look, now that it’s complete!

I want thank everyone who’s bought the book, please if you enjoyed the story – please leave a review or rate it on where you bought it from – it will help get the word out to other readers.

If you don’t have a Nook and are interested in the book you can find it at these locations:

Kobo

Itunes/Ibooks

Smashwords – (Has Mobi format for those with Kindles)

***

Now for the really cool announcement!  Love Bytes did a review of the book!  Check it out Here!!

***

Second cool announcement!! I’ve added a section under General’s Office for my Published works.

Sylum Wiki4

Admin Post: Sylum Wiki

maintenance-1

 

WordPress updated.

Themes did … ish.

At the moment the theme we use has been updated … sort of.  The problem is if you’re using Safari, if you click on the links in the tables or the bios – it will show the non-updated version of the theme.  If you click on tags (actors, actress, or clan position) it will showcase the bios in the new updated theme.  If you type a name, clan, or position into the search field it will showcase the bios in the new updated theme.

As you can see it’s being a pain.

Now if you use Chrome it’s perfectly fine.   If anyone uses Firefox if you can check the wiki blog and reply to this post to let me know that would be awesome.

I did try to use other themes including WordPress own personal themes and they are all having the same issue with Safari – any time you would click a link past the front page it went to your previous old theme.   Hopefully this will be fixed, and we can move on.  If not … the screaming you’ll hear will be me.

Sylum Clan War: Inspiration

This particular chapter of Clan War has been a problem child.

Between Bob.  Bob 2.  Everyone who is in the damn Chapter.  Bob.  Bob 2.  Warrick.  Bob.  Bob 2.  Nick.  Bob. Bob 2.  It’s been one of those pain in the ass chapters that is never ending and mocks you – all at the same time.

Oh and there was Bob.  Bob 2.

Character Introduction / Knight Clan0

Sylum Inspiration: Roy Hicks

20345713.jpg-r_640_600-b_1_D6D6D6-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx

Knight: Hunter

 

Roy Hicks grew up out on the Western Frontier. All he knew was his father died at the Battle of Shiloh, and his mother took him out West seeking a job as a nanny for a wealthy land owner.

Roy grew up running around the deserts, learning to live on the land from his patron’s cattle ranchers. He learned to shoot, herd cattle, speak Spanish, and a few native languages from the local Priests at the Mission that settled in the area.

He ended up the small town’s Sheriff.

Roy was prepared to ask Thomas Pace for his daughter’s hand in marriage, when everything went to shit.

Rogues rode into the town, destroying and killing everyone. Roy was able to grab Lucy and escape to the Mission, hoping to hide her so he could go get help.

Only to have the monster follow him.

Roy held Lucy as they watched the Priest fight off the Rogues, one by one they each went down. Until the last one stood, a man in a black hat.

Hicks doesn’t talk about what happened after that.

Sylum Story: Re-work in Progress

madnessorbrilliane

 

It’s been one of those things, I knew with all the additions and updates this particular series would have to be looked at.

I’ve been avoiding it – for obvious reasons.

Due to a weekend of OMG  Bob REALLY!  It would seem now is the time.  As these changes will need to be shown for other stories.

And I’m not going to mention a certain character who inserted himself into storyline where he didn’t belong … and for once I’m not actually talk about Reese *snorts*.

No panic!  The originals are not being removed – they’ll stay in the Archive until this is done.

POTC

 

Lately with Bob off on a tear.

And working on putting all the story threads into the right places to set up future events.

I feel like ….
