Hi everyone, and apologies for spamming :-) It's Windhammer Prize time again - voting opened a couple of days ago. http://www.arborell.com/windhammer_prize.html For the third year running, I've got an entry in the competition, under the pen name Andy Moonowl. The competition is for gamebooks (interactive fiction in which the reader makes choices), and my entry is a transforming robot story set on a world of robots. http://www.arborell.com/mechanoidsfightordie.pdf I'm hoping you will consider voting for my entry :-) Voting instructions from the site: *A valid vote must be forwarded by email to [email protected] <[email protected]>. A valid vote must nominate the three gamebooks most favoured by the voter from the competition entrants. A vote with less than three nominations cannot be accepted.* The site also says that voting should be on the basis of reading enough of the entries to make an informed choice. So please have a look at the entries, and then send an email to [email protected] nominating my gamebook *and two others*. If you're wondering which ones to read and possibly vote for, I've not read them myself yet. Philip Armstrong, ChanSing Goh, Nicholas Stillman, Andy Wright, and Stuart Lloyd all have past records of success in the competition. Stillman usually writes dark, violent dystopias. Goh has entered history entries (with a worrying imperial slant) in the past, but this year's entry is fantasy. By complete coincidence, Steffen Hagen has also written a robot gamebook set in a world of robots. Adam Johnson and Felicity Banks have entered historical gamebooks in settler-colonial settings (South Africa and Australia respectively) - I'll be interested to see how they handle racial politics. S.A.'s entry is dystopian science-fiction. The other six entries - Jac Colvin, Richard Penwarden, John Evans, Robert Douglas, Tammy Badowski and Ivailo Daskalov - appear to be medieval fantasy adventures. Please also share this with other friends who might be interested, and on social media. best wishes/hugs all around, Andy -- Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: http://commonstransition.org P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
