I'm Looking for Collaborators

Hello. C J here. I’m still taking a long, probably years long, break from work on the card game and the video game trilogy based on it. The math required to make the card game and video game trilogy has to be done slowly and I need a break from math for the time people. Quantum Dragon is what I’m doing in the meantime. Quantum Dragon is still going well and I hope to at least load and lay eyes on one of the blank level maps for it today.

I had a thought. I’m going to have money coming in from the Patreon once the Patreon becomes popular. I also am going to sell books at conventions. I’m happy about this, obviously. Most companies with this scale of productivity reinvest profits in their industry. I think I’m going to have to do the same. Once I’m fully rested and am ready for new projects I’m going to start hunting down collaborating artists to make things for me.

I want more graphic novels in the fandom. I want more novels in print in the fandom. I don’t know who pays whom here but if I work together with other fandom artists or authors to design a product we both like and then pay them to make it in their style and buy publication rights off them then we get more products more quickly, my setting gets new ideas in it forever and the fandom gets money from another fandom member. The setting I own in particular has only just been mentioned a few times compared to the depth it can have.

I’m going to start hunting down people to work with on Facebook soon. I’m not exactly sure how to word the advertisement but the idea is that I want people to pitch me a product or work together on a script and then have one of us write it and me buy rights off them. All artists and authors keep print rights forever though. I only need the digital ones. Then we all win. I might even end up collaborating on the art by doing the backgrounds and not the characters. We’ll see. If anyone reading this wants in I’m starting with the Canadian Furries Facebook group first a little while from now.

Four New Recipes for January

Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Recipe - Lemon-Lime Soda

Hello. C J here. I have here a recipe for homemade lemon-lime soda. This beverage is just as sweet as the original brand it’s based on but has actual lemon juice and lime juice in it. It tastes similar but not as acidic. Strangely this recipe worked the first time I made it. It’s mostly glucose syrup, which any chemist with my knowledge of food could make in a home kitchen. The recipe makes four cups, each one to be served over ice. One cup is mostly enough for one person. Ingredients One Cup Sugar One Half Cup Water One Tablespoon Lemon Juice Three Tablespoons Lime Juice Two and a Half Cups Soda Water For the Glucose Syrup Mix the sugar and the water in a medium saucepan. Put over medium heat and stir frequently until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is clear. It should still be thicker than water. For the Soda Measure out two and a half cups of soda water. Pour into this the glucose syrup in a heat proof one quart measuring cup or other heat proof vessel. Add the lemon juic...

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...
