For those of you new to my journal, or who have somehow missed my flagrant huckstering of the fantasy novel [livejournal.com profile] dysonrules and I have collaborated on, here's your chance to find out about it! Whoopee!!

Since pictures speak louder than words, here's the cover art, drawn by the beauteous and talented [livejournal.com profile] draykonis :


We've been publishing one chapter per week free over at [livejournal.com profile] xcpublishing and our website here. Well, 38 chapters later the novel is FINISHED. *throws confetti* Also, we've just compiled it into one 342 page long file for easier reading. Here are the stats:

Title: The Gauntlet Thrown
Authors: [livejournal.com profile] dysonrules & [livejournal.com profile] twasadark
Fandom: None - original fiction
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG-13
Words: 162,000
Summary: Brydon's quest was simple. Borrow the fabled Gauntlet of Ven-Kerrick, bring it home to prove his worth, marry the princess, and ascend the throne.

He had planned for the dangerous terrain and Redolian assassins, but he did not count on slavers and werewolves. He did not expect the Gauntlet to be missing, nor to find the Kerrick royal family murdered, and he definitely did not anticipate the distractions of a sultry thief and a rescued slave girl.

Luckily, his worst enemy was there to help him out.



Click here to download the novel as a PDF, .doc, or Open Office document


It's also still available chapter by chapter at the [livejournal.com profile] xcpublishing comm if you'd prefer to read it that way.

PS - Feel free to let your friends know, too.  Oh, and if you want to friend the [livejournal.com profile] xcpublishing  comm that would make us squee with glee.

That's wonderful news to hear! I've been meaning to sit down to just read this all through and through, but RL keeps throwing things everywhere. Plenty of time since it's summer, I reckon. YAYY!
