I love the look of the ship. It's funny how an unhinged tangent from a late-night business meeting snowballed into LongShot.

I might have an inside scoop on the story beats, but I cannot wait to see how you bring them to life. This is going to be a wild ride.

Not to mention the space dwarves. 🫣

Really cool! I should make those for the Mélusine and the Bastion too.

Yes, definitely do that!

I’ve never been able to stitch together more than a short story. I’m wondering if I’ve been missing a framework like this to help ground and string my narrative together in a way that helps me progress beyond shorts

I designed the Benefactor pretty completely including engineering drawings and spreadsheet (a lot of spreadsheets) for Terran Imperium of Man or TIM for Short. The Big B is a great ship.

Nice! Drop a link to the story! :)

TIM is a whole novel that is currently looking for beta readers btw. I was going to serialize it after I finished The Fallen Years, the climate romance novel I am working my way through.
