Because You all Rule.

Posted by Steven Savage on October 25, 2009

The b-movie generator isn't even out of BETA and I'm getting people doing art from it.

I married Jack the Ripper (tell me if this doesn't look like something Hammer would do if they tried comedy?)

And of course out of the TEST DATA we had Medusa and Marie Curie go to Shangri-La. Of course we KNOW how many Medusa/Marie Curie shippers there are out there. OK we don't, but still.

I'm now leaning to making this generator the centerpiece of the next contest. With some very special rules to make it more interesting . . .

A friend pointed this new online fiction out, Steampunk with a more Eastern flavor.  Interesting idea!

The REALLY final contest entries – I’m sure!

Posted by Steven Savage on October 16, 2009

Looks like even more entries came in for the contest – right after I posted the last batch. So here's one more batch of art, from our first photographic entry, to a mysterious lady, to a pretty well-armed doctor!

Contests updates and more!

Posted by Steven Savage on October 9, 2009

First the updates to the latest contest:

Secondly, this is being done from my new computer – which was part of the reason for the delay in updates!

Yes, I've gone Mac.  I figure right now reliability is more important than variety, and Macs let me do what I do now – writing, web editing, internet, etc.  I need that and the more friendly security right now more than the options Windows gives me.  I'll probably add a dual-boot to Windows 7 too in time.

On that note, since my web development setup is moved, I can return to the B-Movie generator now . . .
