Mahdi Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 "The Authors Project" Essentially, the Authors Project is based on a scifi universe setsome time in our future. The theme is man against technology, or morespecifically, against the machine. Several science fiction concepts gavebirth to this project, foremost being the writings of Frank Herbert, andvarious films such as The Matrix, Terminator, Star Wars, Blade Runner andyes, even Star Trek. Currently, we are looking for imaginative artists, writers, linguists,and graphic designers interested in assisting in the constructionprocess of the story universe itself. We have a foundation laid,however, it is our sincere hope to expand upon it until it is sointensive and broad-ranging, the authors and readers will losethemselves in the environments. Such is the basis of goodscience fiction and great works of literature. We will be workingwith the added benefit of modern multimedia to enhance thestories and sharpen the overall experience. This initial movement, Phase I, is the nuts and bolts of the storyuniverse, so very necessary in the overall quality of the finalmovements. And like a classic symphony, we expect the final productto be inspirational and worthy of the price we will be charging readersto download the online books and related materials. In Phase II, we will be searching for advertisers to promote the site.During this phase, we will, as a community, begin writingthe initial, opening book of the story, hoping to have sufficient momentumand enough prolific authors involved to construct intricate and enthrallingstories in speedy fashion. The larger, more imaginative and brilliant thewriting community we have, the easier the project will become. Phase III, will mark the finish of the final product - the first book.By then we should all have a good feel for how the system works, what bugsneed to be ironed out, what aspects require fine-tuning, etc. Phase IV: At this phase will come the most complicated procedures:Legalities, business and tax information, acquiring the necessary licenses,and providing an e-bookstore for public purchase of the project's products.
