This is so cool!

The story is going to the publishers as soon as I get it at least 250 pages long, or less depending on font size. What size do authors usually use? I am using size 12 right now.

You and I will both need to check it over a couple times to see if it is worthy, and I will make copies to give to other adults I know to see if they have any suggestions, and I will give you some to give out too.

I can't wait until it's accepted, even if it takes a thousand tries, I won't give up (maybe at 10001)

In the meantime, just put any of your awesomest ideas here so we can both read them, and make suggestions

Hi!!

I have a concern. Completely mind-blowingly awesome as all your action scenes are,i am afraid that we need some sort of plot. It might explain how Matt and Tom met in the first place or there might be some sort personal-life sort of thing about Tom. For instance, Tom might be Holly's boyfriend and they might have met before they were recruited to Atlantis. What were Tom, Matt, Holly, and Scarlett's lives like before Atlantis? Should that be included in chapter two: Flashbacks? For some reason just the whole "I'm Tom and here i am in all these awesome action scenes with an assault rifle on the island of atlantis and yay, look! There's matt, my best friend. Lets go fight! For some reason i know holly and scarlet who are at the head of an elite squadron..." you get my point: we need a plot!!!!!

Also, on another random note, instead of the atlantis escapade, book 1,2, and 3 how about (for the title)

The Atlantis Escapade: Part I

The Atlantis Conspiracy: Part II

The Atlantis Ultimatum: Part III

Oh, and by the way also, i finished the front cover illustration!

New idea. Again, another minor one.

What about Holly carries a H&K XM8 and a FN P90 (search for google images if unfamiliar w/ the p90) as well as two bayonets in her pockets? Maybe, if we wanted to push it, we could give her some sort of 12 gauge shotgun too and a Glock 20

As for Scarlet, what about she carries some sort of sniper rifle (i dont know many names of them), grenades, a knuckle knife, a beretta pistol(sorry, handgun, whatever), and either an uzi or an MP5k

let me know as soon as you can!!

Also, to keep you getting more and more also's, until they never end, i'd like to know what other illustrations you'd like me to do.

I finally came up with another name for telescape. What about Atlantis: the game?

What should chapter 1 in The Atlantis Conspiracy be about?

How about tom and matt are together, doing something, when they get the message that Holly and Scarlet's squad has gone missing?

The only question is, what are tom and matt going to be doing before they get the message?

Then chapter two through chapter four will be tom and matt following where holly's squad went, getting captured and using kenesis powers to free themselves of the prison.

I might need some help (urgent) on the action scenes so far, because currently they are pretty dumb.

I know you wont be able to respond for about the next week, so i wont be expecting anything for a while.

And, with my help, of course, we need to aim for each book more about 500 pages, because, since it's a trilogy, not a neverending series, the books need to be fairly long.

See ya!

I've started to try my hand at illustrating some of the American soldiers. Do you want them to have the same helmet as Tom?

I just got an idea for the covers of book 2 and 3. For book two, what about it shows Dr. Shang with a murderous look in his eyes, katanas and glocks and such ready to kill. In a fade-ish background, it would show Holly and Scarlet with handcuffs or something. As for the cover of book 3, it would show Tom closest to you, with Matt, Holly and Scarlett right behind him but still completely visible (you know what i mean; sort of like the cover of the Eragon movie). Then, again in a fade-ish background, there would be the Queen T-Rex roaring. Like the idea?
