Hamlet, I've just been catching up on the chronicles of the Walk Across the World you've been posting on your blog site. Fantastic! You've written a story that is hilarious, entertaining, and best of all...based on real events. To anyone who was on the walk and haven't been following Hamlet's blog, he's been telling the whole story of the walk. With plenty of artistic embellishment.

Good show, old bean.

Yes! Great idea Cybin.

Hamlet, bundle it as an ebook as well as something in RL..please!

What a great way to introduce people in RL to the amazing potential of SL. And what a simply entertaining story, to boot.

I would love something like that for my coffee table. With pictures!

Great idea Cybin!! I would get one in a heartbeat!

I am very much loving reading about our journey Hamlet. So many witty and hillarious happenings. I love how you are piecing this together! Thank you so much for this wonderful adventure and for the Chronicles!

I did spurt my coffee all over my monitor when I read this part though so wanted to mention it:

""ALL IS HELLFIRE DOWN HERE!" I say, entirely forgetting Miss Thomspon, concerned now only for my own survival. "I AM CONSUMED BY MAGMA THE HEAT OF THE SUN!"

"I must save him," says Fairchild, without much conviction.

"I'm staying by Brad," announces Miss Lorentz.

Lupis stands by the edge of the crater, watching my flailings for awhile.

"Alright," he says, "shall we continue to Davenport now?"

hahaha.. Poor Hamlet..

more on publication...

just to let you know, there is a cheap and easy way to do this in RL..

CafePress!

..i'm planning on releasing a journal i wrote (half fact, half fiction) about my adventures when i went to Amsterdam.

only problem is that the books are only allowed in black & white, except for the cover. not sure if they plan on offering color at some point or not.

the point is, it doesn't really cost you ANYTHING! just set up a PDF file, choose a book format, upload it and offer it at whatever price you want (either at or above cost to them).. anything over the base price is your profit.

...does anyone else know of an easy way to do this AND allow for color pictures in the book?
