Fanbase Press' @barbrajdillon.bsky.social Interviews @arcbeatle.bsky.social on @arcbeatlepress.bsky.social's Celebration of ‘Doctor Who’ with the Release of ‘Cwej Odyssey’

Featuring a story from me, as well as from other brilliant people!

The past is a dangerous place--literally so if you're a time traveler! In today's issue of the Cwej30 Zine meet ghosts, search for little green men, and discover the dangers of silent filmmaking in four new stories--plus new interviews and poetry! www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

We've been working on greater accessibility for our free series Cwej: Odyssey, and we're happy to announce that every story so far is now available to read directly on our website, no PDF required, with a link to the next story ready at the end! www.arcbeatlepress.com/cwejodyssey....

Cwej and Sang Mi continue their adventures across the Midwest encountering lost loves, 80's pop ballads, goatmen, anomalies, and mysterious Melonheads! Plus... Baseball? Cwej30 Zine Issue 3 is out now! www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

Cwej: Odyssey follows Chis and his friend Sang Mi as they search for cryptids across the American Midwest! Editor James Wylder talked to the Goshen News about bringing a monster from his hometown of Elkhart to the series, and now it's free to read on Yahoo News! #scifi www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

We get a mention in this article too!

If you want to jump in, here's a fresh introduction point to Cwej and Sang Mi's adventures. No knowledge of anything needed. Enjoy! www.arcbeatlepress.com/cwej-shutter...

But initially I didn't want to do a follow up to And Today, You. But doing so has been wonderful. And if you love WARSONG, Decipher's WARS, Doctor Who, or Chris Cwej.... well you're in for many delicious treats. I look forward to you reading them.

Equally, having the sort of deep crossover we've had with Cwej: The Series is also something I'd have never planned for or expected. But it's also worked. And it's brought WARSONG to a new audience, with Sang Mi and Chris about to have some amazing upcoming adventures.

It's weird, if we hadn't had the limitations and setbacks we had, I wouldn't have even considered making one of most popular series, Academy 27. As a spinoff from WARSONG / The WARS TCG, it's far from what you'd expect from that universe. But it worked. Sometimes limits are blessings in disguise.

With the news of the new Pope, time to bring back this classic story of a future Papal Conclave on the planet Gongen... www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

Really happy with the response to this story so far--we took a risk with this one, and I'm really glad to see folks liked it. Just drop in and read this, you don't need to know anything, and you'll have a wild fun ride along the way. And maybe even some discoveries ;)

It's not in our universe, but if you enjoyed "And Today, You" you might enjoy this (free!) story as well...

Academy 27 Volume 1: School Days is now available as an epub ebook on the Arcbeatle Press online store! payhip.com/b/hdFpM

You are cordially invited to the first ever Arcbeatle Press writing workshop, hosted by the greatest of all auteurs... Auteur. Please bring any materials that you need, and an open mind. A free ebook, on this April 1st. #aprilfools www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

Welcome to the Decipher Family, Cryptozoic! We're excited to see all the wonderful things you'll bring to "How to Host a Murder".

If you're looking for something to read today with the purchasing boycott, you can always check out @arcbeatlepress.bsky.social's 10th Anniversary Novel I wrote, which is free to read as an epub or PDF. It's a standalone story, but Chris Cwej is there if you care. www.arcbeatlepress.com/ap10.html

With the "Vanishing of Jhe Sang Mi", I've now written 33 stories in the @warstcg.bsky.social WARSONG universe. It's strange, when I came in, I never thought I'd write the most stories or most words of anyone in my favorite sci-fi universe. It's a cool but strange milestone.

Hugo Award nominations have opened, and for your consideration, "The Vanishing of Jhe Sang Mi" is eligible for best short story, but most importantly, "Apple Tree Yard" is eligible for best novelette. And you should never leave best Novelette blank if you can help it.

Voting for the Locus Awards is open, and if you would consider writing in a vote for our works, we'd be truly honored. t.co/UeJRbhhtCW

Voting for the Locus Awards is open, and if you would consider writing in a vote for my novelette "Apple Tree Yard" I'd be truly honored.

My Story "Apple Tree Yard" is eligible for best Novelette, and I'd be honored if you'd consider nominating it for the Locus Awards when voting opens up on February 1st!

With "Apple Tree Yard" as my submission for the Scribe Awards, I'm crossing my fingers this will be my year. It's my strongest and most notable submission, and I hope folks give it a shot :) . Also eligible for other awards in the novelette category! www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

We're celebrating some of our favorite stories from 2024 with new interviews with their writers! We're starting with Elizabeth Tock's story "Stage Blocking" from Academy 27! Learn all about her and its creation, and what makes it special. www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

DAY 20 - "Our Finest Gifts We Bring", Part Seven. Our abridged, newly-illustrated version of the 2023 serial takes a detour by the worlds of @arcbeatlepress.bsky.social with this lovely WARSONG (@warstcg.bsky.social) vignette from @arcbeatle.bsky.social! www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We'll have something bigger when the actual day comes, but for today we have a special treat: a vignette about a magical Christmas for two kids, on Mars. Enjoy! Thank you to @aristidetwain.bsky.social for the wonderful art. www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

And we gave Academy 27 and And Today, You there as well! Come say hi!

And if you're curious about that world, you can dive in with one of my most popular and well-loved story series, Academy 27, set in the world of WARS TCG / WARSONG but on a high school on Mars. People tell me its good. I'm inclined to agree. www.arcbeatlepress.com/a27

With Academy 27 Season 2 now at close, what do you think of the journey so far? We're excited to hear your thoughts! www.arcbeatlepress.com/a27.html

Got some DM's today praising my writing on the Academy 27 Season 2 finale "A Wasps' Nest of Ghouls" saying it was the best story I've written, and I gotta tell you, getting that kind of glowing feedback makes all the hard work that went into that story feel worth it in a way that's hard to explain.

Fanbase Press' Barbra Dillon Interviews @arcbeatle.bsky.social on the Sci-Fi Anthology, ‘Academy 27: School Days’

0.0 apparently I've gotten printed. Feel free to check out my short story in this new book! Woo woo! www.amazon.com/Academy-27-S...

Today on Eruditorum Press, the Chibnall era reaches its end. Strap in; this one’s good. www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/like-an...

I'm happy to finally announce that the audio book for WARSONG: Preludes is officially out. www.audible.com/series/WARSO... Working with @arcbeatle.bsky.social and @arcbeatlepress.bsky.social the past months has been wonderful and I'm so excited to share my first narration work!

In the far future, a fractured humanity is spiraling towards war. But each side has their own viewpoint, and everyone is their own hero. WARSONG: Preludes is out as an audiobook for the first time! #scifibooks www.audible.com/series/WARSO...

Arcbeatle Press makes free serial fiction, like Academy 27 and Lady Aesculapius, and fantastic books like Cwej, 10,000 Dawns, WARSONG, and SIGNET. These projects give voice to many new and underprivileged writers. We do that with your support. www.patreon.com/jameswylder

Happy Halloween from Arcbeatle Press, and welcome to the Season Finale of Academy 27! Step into a story of Urban Legends come alive, criminals in the seedy underbelly of paradise, and one girl finding out she can sting. You won't want to miss this one. www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

Due to a family crisis I've had to deal with, we've decided to push back this week's Academy 27 to next week. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your understanding. I can't wait for you to see how things turn out from last week's cliffhanger, and we hope you're excited too!

We'll give you some treats this week to tide you over. If you missed last week's story, then you have some time to catch up and, spoilers, see the return of Starhawk to WARSONG fiction.

I wrote a novel that ended up being an emotional exploration of how struggles with mental health can lead to a self-defeating fear of abandonment. And it has the legally licensed use of a Doctor Who character and one from a trading card game. Its a wonderful ride. www.amazon.com/Today-You-Ja...

Writers: repost a random story you're proud of My grandma died while I was working the Academy 27 Series. Consumed with grief and confusion over not being there because of the pandemic, I channeled it into my writing. Might be the best thing I've ever written. www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

Writers: repost a random story you're proud of. "Hall Pass" is sort of like if the movie "Chopping Mall" was a Goosebumps book. Had a lot of fun escalating the chase, especially when I figured out how to get that evil robot up the stairs... www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...

We're here from the future, and ready for adventure. The universe of WARSONG is ready to bring you fun, fear, and fantastic tales. Good to meet you all!

Sang Mi is obsessed with urban legends. But when she runs into the monster from a tall tales, the universe will start closing in. Sang Mi has been living a peaceful life at school, but this is a world of WARS and things are about to get dangerous... www.arcbeatlepress.com/news-and-upd...
