The Cloud Skimmer
Sign up and become CrookedCrown's buddy to see the link to this project.
An adventure story in a steampunk world where machinery runs on steamcores - a kind of pressure battery, the production of which are among the best kept secrets in the world - and logic circuits - analogue circuits that allows for construction of complex automatons. We follow Holly, an engineer on the delivery airship The Cloud Skimmer. On what's supposed to be a normal job transporting parts between cities, Holly discovers a stowaway, that seems like might be dangerous and has her own agenda. My blurb writing game is crap, so I'll see myself revising the above one of these days. I just need a general beta-reader, or editor, if you want to make the effort. The project is ~50K words. I'd also like to specifically know whether the last scene is frustrating (or rather whether it's better if I cut it) I only currently have a PDF and an EPUB format, but if you need it in a google docs link, I can set that up no problem, just let me know.
