‘Star Trek: Zero Point #1’ (@idwpublishing.com): Advance Comic Book Review by Fanbase Press Contributor @ingrediments.bsky.social

Happy Let's Colonize Mars Day to all who celebrate! (Me. I'm the one who celebrates, because it's a holiday I made up. But if anyone wants to have a party - or just eat a Mars bar - feel free to do so. Someday I'm going to remember soon enough to have actual Mars-related festivities.)

Repost with 4 random facts about me. -I've done impromptu photo shoots in two different airports, in two different countries. -I'm a great singer but a terrible dancer. -I used to be a poll inspector, running a local polling place during elections. -I own a globe of the moon.

And if you use the app at a UC school in Northern California, you and your potential match try to mount a stage show and engage in a series of super elaborate dance numbers together. It will be called BuzzBee Berkeley. (But seriously, Bumble has just shot itself in every available foot.)

‘MIND MGMT: New and Improved #1’ (@oni-press.bsky.social @mattkindt.bsky.social): Advance Comic Book Review by Fanbase Press Contributor @ingrediments.bsky.social *Today is the FOC for preorders with your local comic shop!

The show was a hit! It was hugely stressful - but it was a hit! And a lot of fun! Even though my #TimeTravelAuthors friends were all too far away to attend, you'll be pleased to know, you were still represented, as I donated a copy of The Accidental Time Travelers Collective Vol. 3 to our raffle!

Day 31: My show is coming up! Less than three weeks! There's food, there's songs, there's sketches, there's puppets... Seriously, it's going to be so much fun. I don't know if any of my fellow #TimeTravelAuthors are local to L.A., but I wish you could all join. I'm super excited.

Day 27: Depending on your point of view, within the lore of the story, we may all be living in an alternate timeline right now. But our heroes are working to prevent a much worse timeline, wherein the villain takes over the world. #TimeTravelAuthors

Day 21, a day late. Interestingly enough, the only time the word "step" appears in my script is the same scene that I described in the previous prompt. #TimeTravelAuthors

Day 19: I think the closest thing to a servant we have in the show is a robot who does dishes. He's supposed to be part of an "Automatic Dishwasher" demonstration, but he finds the whole thing quite demeaning. #TimeTravelAuthors

Day 17, a day late: I've got one group of characters on a spaceship together, on an 18-month voyage to Mars, which tests all of their patience. And another group of characters who open a 5,000-year-old time capsule, which also takes a fair amount of patience. #TimeTravelAuthors

Day 7, a day late. Somehow, in 50 pages, the words "quiet" and "loud" don't appear in the script at all. However, here's an excerpt of announcements over a loudspeaker. From the song "200 Million Miles to Mars," about the first Martian colony's voyage to their new home. #TimeTravelAuthors

Day 5: The story is full of apologies - mainly because things keep going wrong. The first one is when the cast tries to time jump back to the beginning of the show to fix something and end up accidentally taking the entire audience with them. #TimeTravelAuthors

Day 3: They're not so much protecting things as trying to get them back, because they didn't realize the things needed protecting until they were already gone. Things that may or may not include a cookbook, some paper masks, and an assortment of campaign buttons. #TimeTravelAuthors

With a new stage project I'm working on, seems a good month to return to #TimeTravelAuthors. In "All the Time in the World," a ragtag theater troupe performs shows across time. If you're lucky, you might win a raffle prize. If you're unlucky, a madman from the future may try to take over the world.

If you see this, post a knight.

Implore is a strong word, but if you see this, I would wish you - or, I would request you - or, I would entreat you - to post a picture from whatever device you're using, without explanation.

I got an anthology for Christmas, "Best Time Travel Stories of the 20th Century." And they're great. But you know what? The stories in the Accidental Time Travelers Collective trilogy are every bit as good as many of them, and in some cases better. #TimeTravelAuthors

At some point, hopefully soon, I'll get back to #TimeTravelAuthors prompts. But in the meantime, I want you all to know, I'm working on a really cool project - a time travel dinner and variety show! If any of you happen to be in L.A. at the end of March, you're totally invited.

I wrote a bunch of cool scripts this year and did table reads of two of them - including one I've been wanting to write for over a decade. I also had a short film of mine produced, and I learned and performed a couple of songs that nobody has heard in over 150 years.

Time flies! I can't believe it's December 23rd already! Which means it's time for my favorite December 23rd tradition! Saying, "Merry Christmas Eve Eve, Eve!" to @eveyjacob.bsky.social.

I tried to tell a joke about the Minotaur, but then I lost the thread...

Seven Year Boots Chapter 2 is now live! See what happens when our hero visits a rock festival in 1969. No, no... The OTHER rock festival in 1969. temporamore.substack.com/p/seven-year...

'Twas the night before <spoiler>, and so MC knew He couldn't yet get there with his special shoes He counted the hours, all snug in his bed 'Til he could skip forward, just seven years ahead. Seven Year Boots #TimeTravelAuthors

To paraphrase Dr. Frankenstein... It's live! It's live! Chapter 1 of Seven Year Boots is now live and available to read on my Substack. Check it out! And then stay tuned for more! open.substack.com/pub/temporam...

Hey, #TimeTravelAuthors! And everyone else! It's finally coming! Seven Year Boots, my serial time travel story, is premiering this Wednesday, 11/26, on Substack. Would love it if you all subscribed, to see it unfold! temporamore.substack.com

Day 23: MC feels like a bit of a turkey at the end of chapter 1, after making a boneheaded mistake. In fact, he makes two boneheaded mistakes, one of which has him inadvertently traveling to Thanksgiving Day, in a random, future year. #TimeTravelAuthors

Day 3: MC travels forward frequently, even when he's actually trying to travel backward, as transportation in the 23rd century is easier and more convenient than in most other eras. He also does a fair bit of exploration and time tourism. #TimeTravelAuthors
