New SF and Fantasy Website

[Iron Budokan]

Hey, guys, I have a new website for submarine fans who might also happen to be interested in science fiction and fantasy. Could you give it a look if you have any free time? I would appreciate any suggestions or opinions you may have about the site.


I'm still working on the links but I definitely will include them to this site once I receive Neil's permission, of course.



Even though I'm a professional writer I always value feedback from everyone.
If you like it feel free to either bookmark it or drop me a lne via the email application, only if you are so inclined. Thank, and keep your periscope feathers low!

I like it. Easy to navigate around and has nice colouring. :yeah:

[Sailor Steve]

I like it!

I gave up on SF years ago, and mainly stick to history and biography these days; but now I'm going to have to find a copy and read it.

Right after I finally read Kingmaker! :rotfl:

(Not laughing at you, or Brag - just at myself for all the things I keep promising to do)

:yeah: I like it. Well designed with interesting content.

Hopefully, there may be room for this http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/subsim_icon.gif among the personal interests Around the Net :D

Nice site IB :up:

I'd have to know a bit more about the types of stories you tell. As a rule, I'm not a big SF/fantasy fan, but I'm always open to new experiences in literature.

If you need hits, I will visit your page 100 times, or until I get bored. Just let me know.

Thank you, Neil, that means a lot to me coming from you. May I have permission to link subsim to my site under my hobbies/interests?

Thank you for volunteering for the hits. It would be nice, and I certainly wouldn't mind if you did, but I can't ask you to do that unless you really care about visiting the site or like the content. If that's the case, I would be flattered!

I write mostly hard SF and dark fantasy. My new story "Haxan" is a dark fantasy Western soon to be published by Beneath Ceaseless Skies and I'm working to make it into an ongoing series. I'll provide a link when that goes live on March 26, I don't want to clog up the forum with stuff.

Oh, I apologize, Neil, I didn't see the banner you included in your response. I'll add it right now! :DL

Nice site IB :up:

Thank you, and thanks to all the guys who commented.

And the Subsim.com icon is alive and kicking on my interests/hobbies page. Woo hoo! :woot:

[UnderseaLcpl]

OK, here I go, 100 hits.
Ok iclicked the refresh button about 105 times by my count. Did it work? Or do I need to click the link?

[Iron Budokan]

yep, the count went up, thank you very much! :)

I always enjoy a good science fiction read. Some of the indie or unpublished stuff is better than what the so-called professional authors write :yep:

[Iron Budokan]

I agree. All too often many writers get stuck in a rut and are no longer willing to take thematic risks with their fiction. You even see it from SF writers who should know better. Given that SF is by it's very nature a genre of ideas they should know better. Heck, I even know some of them personally.

All this is starting to manifest itself a bit in the closing of several Old Guard print SF/F magazines. I think in the long run this will be good for the industry, however. Magazines will have to modernize. I don't see as how that can be bad for either the publishing industry or writers in general...and it's nothing but a boon for readers who love the genre. :yeah:

[AVGWarhawk]

SF writing has it place because sometimes the writer comes up with ideas in the stories that become a reality down the road. Foresight perhaps? Not sure. Take for instance, the SF thriller "The Terminator", just yesterday in the news reports were made about robots possibly revolting in the future. One mans science fantasy becomes another mans reality. Nice site Iron:up:

The hardest thing for Scifi/fantasy-writers is getting reviewed. Lots of moaning and threats will do the trick.:) It seems a lot of writers hang out here at subsim. My three fantasy novels have been published in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and soon Finland.

Nice site, Iron!

I didn't know that you wrote as well. Are the books available in English? Got a link?

[Iron Budokan]

My novel, Fevreblau, sold out its first print run and Five Star never renewed it, unfortunately. There might be a few copies floating around on the Internet, however. It's also in a lot of libraries, too.

Yes, my work is in English. :)
