《Incubators》Session Zero - 11/1/21
Advertisement
Heya reader,
Thanks for taking a chance on Incubators (previously, Untitled Alien Project).
I just want to take a minute to let you know what to expect here.
This story is a dual entry for both the Royal Road Writathon as well as National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo - https://nanowrimo.org/), and it's inspired by my love of sci-fi horror of the type found in the Alien franchise.
With that said, please keep in mind the following about the content and the structure of Incubators:
CONTENT:
If this story were a movie, it would be rated a hard "R" for language, violence, and gore.
Now, I don't love gore for the sake of gore or violence for the sake of violence. To that end, I promise to keep any body-horror/"squick" elements horrifying instead of glorifying (or should it be "glorrorfying"?)
I do love me some good swearing, though, so be prepared for that.
STRUCTURE:
I've always clung to the hope of "traditional" publishing, and I've got a history of perfectionism when it comes to writing.
So you probably won't be surprised to discover that the vast majority of my work never sees the light of day.
Entering this piece in the Royal Road Writathon as well as NaNoWriMo means I'm taking a different approach. I want to complete a big writing project, I want people to read it, and I'm trying not to care about the fact that I haven't put it through a whole bunch of edits. So:
- Each "Chapter" contains the words I actually sat down and wrote on the date in the chapter title.
- Each "Chapter" is unedited, outside of any egregious issues I catch while reformatting for Royal Road.
- Each "Chapter" has a high likelihood of awkwardly ending right in the middle of a scene.

- Later "Chapters" have a small likelihood of breaking continuity, introducing incompatible characterizations, etc.
My intention is to write a lot, get feedback, and hopefully entertain some people along the way. If this goes well, I'll put the finished piece through a few rounds of edits, pay for a decent cover, and throw it up on Amazon/Barnes&Noble/Smashwords/etc. If it doesn't go well, then I'll just keep it here for posterity and move on to something new. Hopefully something better. Dear God, please.
So. Incubators. Here we go.
Thanks for reading,

ERROR BOUNTY:
One last thing.
As I've gotten older, more and more embarrassing errors have started creeping into my writing. I'm not talking about typos - I'm talking about basic stuff like using "their" when I mean "there", "effect" instead of "affect", etc.
Yeah, I kinda hate that? So if you find any egregious errors - most likely homophonic ones, or inappropriate possessification of a plural noun (e.g. "alien's" when I mean "aliens") please let me know.
FOR EVERY EGREGIOUS ERROR READERS FIND, I WILL DONATE $5.00 TO CHARITY AND PROVIDE THE RECEIPTS.
I'll keep a running list of any errors found and the charity bounty paid right here at the bottom of this page - check back often!
ERRORS FOUND:
None so far!
