i concur. you can add as many lightsabers as you want but if the reader doesnt care about the person weilding it and where they're going in their life then it really doesnt matter if i'm your horribly disfigured dad in a black suit. BTW that EMBASSY video on the right hand side of the screen is really pissing me off. everytime the character running through the streets starts running in double time, i want the white box truck to pin him to the import parked in front of it. Take that, bland character running man! and that business card with the bleeding letters? I've seen harry potter dammit and i know what the marauders map is so you can go right to hell! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/228951-what-s-your-opinion Andrew made a comment in the Goodreads Sci-Fi/Fantasy Authors group:

i'm finishing the sixth book of a science fiction series.

has anyone ever simultaneously released an entire saga all at once? good bad? too much too soon?

what's the largest series that's been released in its entirety at once?

brave move or stupid move? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/228511-good-group Andrew made a comment in the Goodreads Sci-Fi/Fantasy Authors group:

i'm a budding writer in lexington, ky.

for the past 5 years i've been writing a science fiction series called the Incredible Adventures of Captain Taylor
or T.I.A.C.T for short. there are 6 books so far

Flight of the Lazarus,
All Stars Fade,
Call of the Starkillers,
Days of Danger,
Where Robots Fear to Tread,
Taking Back Tomorrow

as of 10/21/09 im 390 pages into the last book.

it's a old fashioned adventure tale updated with lots of action and gadgets to appeal to younger readers. i've really grown as a writer during this, my first attempt at writing.

experienced readers will notice that my saga, consisting of two trilogies, is built upon Joseph Campbells outline he expounded upon in Hero With A Thousand Faces.

While the story is sound, ultimately, i will need a seasoned editor with both positive and negative criticism to make these books the record-breaking, tour de force i think they can be.

after initial reviews of both younger and older readers, the feedback has been overwhelming. when i ask them what they think, the first thing out of their mouths is, "do you have any more?"

feel free to contact me if you are an EXPERIENCED editor with credentials that can be confirmed.

hopefully, sample chapters can be made available to you in the near future. i'm very busy right now.
