The votes are in and chapter 12 of Crashland is now available at Story Time. Last time around, the protagonist William Holden was being introduced to the final member of the crew. This, he discovered, was a cybernetic being known as Simon, a breed of human being designed to monitor cyberspace at all times. He also deduced what Jacobs plan was… unfortunately he didn’t tell the rest of us what it was. Yeah, I know, but I aint telling neither!
In any case, their discussion was interrupted when one of Jacobs men came to announce that they had a problem. When he learned what it was, he conveyed to Holden that they did indeed have a problem! The only question was, what was the nature of it? I asked audiences to decide. Was it: a. a rival gang attacking their hideout, b. an unruly mob that was threatening their friends who are camped out near the entrance, or c. the tube collapsing?
Well, the votes are in and audiences have once again decided. It’s C! The tube is collapsing, and now Holden, Jacobs, and his little band of agents will have to evacuate quickly! Come and by and see what happens, then stick around to vote on the next chapter! It’s all happening over at Story Time.
william holden? i’m curious why you’d use a name that is fairly well known – at least in hollywood and amongst film actors. i try to avoid names that are too similar to names that are fairly well-known real people.
I simply use whatever name seems appropriate to me based on the character’s background, etc. I never gave any thought to avoiding common names. It just doesn’t seem like a factor to me.
oh, it’s not a common name, but it is a well-known actor from the 50′s and 60′s. well, maybe well known to someone my age. and it might not be a factor at all. i wasn’t sure if you had chosen it intentionally or just an interesting coincidence.
Coincidence, possibly a intentional fallacy.
ok. thanks.
