Sorry for the radio silence, some IRL things came up, and I lost a bit of the mental momentum I had with this CYOA. It's not forgotten, I promise. Also, I decided to enter it into a month-long contest with Inkshares (which you may remember from me peddling my successfully funded fantasy YA novel last year). I'm not crazy enough to try to totally crowdfund Mutants: Uprising, HOWEVER I'm just crazy enough to do it for just one month. >>> Click here <<< After June 25th, if I haven't held onto 2nd place (top three get published) then all the preorders would be refunded. I am in 2nd place right now! Contest is sponsored by Nerdist. quote:Mutants: Uprising is a second person POV novel about humans with super-human abilities trying to overcome the shadowy organizations that want to control them. The story centers on Jane "Zombie" Meyers, a relatively new leader of an underground cell of the League of Mutants, a terrorist organization, who is trying to make a name for herself while rising above her enforcer roots. Along the way she uncovers a plot against the pregnant founder of a second-chance shelter for homeless mutant teens, and has to work hard to save her from harm, figure out what the ulterior motives of her enemies are, all while earning the other woman's trust. Oh, and there are horrors from other dimensions trying to break into ours, and state governments who want to register all mutated humans "for the greater good." All in a day's work. hollylolly fucked around with this message at 15:10 on May 22, 2017 |

Already backed yesterday  But I'm wondering, are you making a book based on this CYOA? Or is the story already finished in your head, ie it is based on the same premise but might diverge significantly from the story itt. Either way is cool, I'm just curious.

The CYOA keeps escalating and I need to find an endpoint for the book, which might be midway, or it might involve pulling a future event in and putting off things we've already gone through in the CYOA until later. Also I have to pare down the exposition from answering reader questions and re-insert it in a more natural way. ....if anyone has a good idea on where a story break might work, let me know.

Ya definitely allude her either not being dead or switch point of view showing the rest of the team making plans leaving the hideout which was off screen setting up for more story to come.
