The Astral Chronicle Updates - Proofreading is Done

Hello. C J here. I've just finished proofreading the first The Astral Chronicle novel for print. It's 130 letter pages long with two columns for easier reading. The whole document is ready to be sent to the printer for mass production. I'm still working on the book bindings but the document is ready for when I have those ready. The bindings will be done by me by hand using high quality report covers off Amazon.

I'm going to remind everyone that I have an industrial quality home printer with 2000 pages worth of ink on one refill. It's an hp 5101 if anyone wants to look it up. My family and I acquired it together. It will be using that 2000 pages of ink frequently with the job I have lined up for it. I'm using it to print the final novel for sale. One copy will cost $35 and I do accept bulk orders when I have the time. If anyone wants a class set the novel is at all times appropriate to children and I'd be extremely happy to provide any number of it for that job.

I own the PDF document I'm printing it out of and the printing technology so I can manufacture an unlimited amount of these. I'm thinking print batches will probably be in the hundreds once I get it set up. I'm planning on selling these at comic book conventions, furry conventions and also at public book readings. I'm going to be scheduling the book readings myself here in Kingston, Ontario through Facebook. I'm hoping to have this all set up by the start of next calendar year. See you then.

The Tunnels Under Haven

Hello. C J here. Walking down the streets of Haven is not always as safe as the city would like people to think. Yes, they have curbed the banditry that plagues the Southern half of the Coastal Road. The Desert Princes whose cities dot the Southern coast of the Southern Continent if anything make the problem worse for themselves with their constant rivalries and politics. So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...

Fantasy Plus Minecraft Server Project Update One

Hello. C J here. I thought I’d do a Fantasy Plus Minecraft server project update. Here’s the current state of the server. I’ve realized that you can cook over a campfire so I never need ovens. I have installed Blockbench and the Entity Editor Plugin. I have made stats, equipment lists and loot tables on paper for the gold skeleton themed enemies. Most of this will be run off three or four spawn eggs as the skeletons only need to go up in tier rarely and can have armour and weapon options including my spellbooks. I’m assuming this can be done in the entity plugin. I know zombies can spawn with armour sometimes. I will be recolouring the default skeleton to make my version, the sand skeleton. They will be run using mob spawners in the dungeons and in monster camps in the overworld. You cannot destroy them so get used to combat in these regions. I’ve spent a couple days learning Minecraft Bedrock Editor and I have the system of building worlds on the scale of tens of kilometre square...

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...
