Fantastic story! Love it!
What a great surprise to see another part of this novel in my SmartPlaylist for Podcasts released in the last 24 hours.
This is a great story, and your reading is serving to capture my interest in the novel like no other book I've ever come across. Keep up the good work on the novel... and keep reading parts of it in this podcast. I personally love hearing new work while I'm out and about on my daily walks.
Thanks!!
[...] Om man gillar den typen av estetik bör man dessutom ta en titt på Cory Doctorows nya serie av podcasts. Cory brukar läsa in sina senaste SF-alster, och så även denna gång med “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow/Now is the Best Time of Your Life”. Novellen börjar i ett övergivet framtida Detroit, konserverat och bebott av en man och hans son som vårdar staden och den gamla världen som ett museum. Cory har läst in tre delar (1,2,3) än så länge. Han svävar sedan välkommet in på lite post-scarcity economics i andra delen, vilket jag brukar gilla. Får se hur det tar sig. [...]
Alright! Now this story fires me up! I love this story and i hope that Cory does not trip while rounding the bases because right now the ball looks to be over the yellow line.
THIS story is the one story I believe that should be made into a comic book! No this should be a entire series of comic books this story could be a franchise, a bloody cash cow in the f*cking box office.
I could see either live action or true japanimation in the vein of Howl's moving castle or Steamboy. Even done like Spirited Away. The fact the boy stays young for so long should appeal to the young girl audience as he does not become too threatening. Ah fuck it i have not seen the ending and so I should just STFU.
Do the remarks have to be reviewed before they are displayed??
Sorry I don't have a specific suggestion for a better editor. As I was listening to your wish list for the editor you are using, I couldn't help but think that you might have forgotten one of the cooler things about open source software: it's possible for anyone to modify it. The specific things you were missing (and the one bug) didn't sound that hard to add, and could probably be done by the application writers (or anyone else with sufficient coding chops for that matter). I'm betting that if you offer a small bounty (on the order of what you payed for BBEdit) for those additional features, someone would have be happy to do it, and probably provide the modified app in a convenient .deb package easily installed into Kubuntu for you.
All that detail aside, my point is, you maybe don't have to find a better editor, you might just have to find one to adopt and help shepard in the direction you want. Which is the true beauty of open source software.
Anyway, love the story, really looking forward to reading it in its final form. Thanks much!
Great story, really looking forward to the end. Also looking forward to when Little Brother is released -- I don't qualify as a young adult, but suspect I'll like it.
Wish I could help with the editor. An embarrassing thing for me is that I have the full OpenOffice.org open in another window and I cut-and-paste to it. I've configured smart-quotes to be dumb so that it doesn't screw around with existing text, but have never used it to un-mess-up text. Has all the word count stuff of course, but it's overkill and very bulky.
