Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
So I wrote a book...called Zombie Titanic

Hello!
So obviously this is my first post, and I apologise in advance (and will happily delete this) if I'm in any way spamming. But I'm a big fan of Penny Arcade - I think Tycho's writing style has had a serious influence on my own - and I've just written my first book for grown-ups, which I think PA readers might like.
It's called Zombie Titanic. It's 35,000 words (ish) long and I think it's pretty funny. Last year I read a Chuck Palahniuk interview where he jokingly floated the idea that Titanic would have been better with zombies, National Novel Writing Month was coming up, and I thought it would be fun to see if I could get a comedy zombie book written in 30 days. I couldn't, obviously - I don't write that fast. But I ended up writing something that I enjoyed putting together, and then I realised it was the anniversary of the sinking and spent a month going of late nights and early mornings trying to finish it.
If you're a fan of the Jack and Rose blockbuster, bad news: it doesn't have a love story, or a youthful male lead, or a nice old lady. What it *does* have is a horrible old lady, a Victorian strongman, suffragettes, gatling guns, Darwinism, sharks, jiu-jitsu and an absolute shit-ton of zombies. You can read the first three (short) chapters on its Kindle page, which is here. I hope at least some people like it - feedback would be much appreciated.
