What is World Burners? I know, I know, it sounds like a group of paramilitary anarchists. In truth, it's something much worse: a writing group.
There are four of us - Archie, Erik, Kalisa, and Rachel. We each write (or edit) stories in our spare time. We all love science fiction and fantasy (I have hereby defined this term, from here on out, it's "sff"). This blog is... well, I'm not sure yet. Our public interface? A chat forum for our convenience? A link so that when one of us gets a story published, there's something we can direct people to for more information?
Let's begin with "World Burners". Ever played a role-playing game called Burning Wheel? Okay, well actually, neither have we. But I have read the books, and I really like their unconventional use of the word "burning" to denote creation. Character Burning? Creating a new character. We write both sf and f, and one of the biggest commonalities that set those two genres apart from other writing is the creation of new worlds. World Burning.
Plus, it was the name of an NPC from Archie's Shadowrun campaign. A really cool one.
So! We've come this far. "Where is the writing? What are you working on? When will it be published?" I hear you ask from the future, your voice echoing down the inter-tubes to my ears.
Stay tuned.
