BACK to your future as legend...

What course will you choose to build your legend? We have existing models, leads, and/or ready-made presentation platforms for the following paradigms at the moment:

Real life supercar projects, and/or fiction and non-fiction tales regarding same.

Present-day unsung heroes, and/or both fiction and non-fiction tales regarding same.

Redeemable geeks

Wholly or largely undocumented events of the past or present-day, and/or both fiction and non-fiction tales regarding same.

Significant personalities, entities, and events past, present, or future suggested by the possibilities presented in the signposts perspectives, and/or both fiction and non-fiction tales regarding same.

Alternative or parallel universe versions of events described in the novel The Chance of a Realtime.

Real life supercar projects, and/or fiction or non-fiction tales regarding same.

Some possibilities for your own supercar-related endeavors here include:

Tell the world about your own supercar, real or imagined! Show us design sketches or project notes, or tell us a story about your car, and have your account linked to from a box like that below displayed in Me and my Shadow supercar (http://www.jmooneyham.com/me-and-my-shadow-supercar.html)!

(note that the links below are for illustration purposes only: actual links will only be posted in the box seen in the page indicated above)

Prefer to spin tales about the mighty Shadowfast himself? Then put yourself into the role of a post-1975 owner of what remained of Shadow after the events in Nowhere to go but up! Re-design and re-build him the way you think best, using the newer materials and equipment available then (Heck, you might be able to build a better Shadowfast than the original)! Then have your brainstorm linked in a box like that below displayed in The Shadowfast supercar driver logs (http://www.jmooneyham.com/shadowfast-supercar-driver-logs.html)!

(note that the links below are for illustration purposes only: actual links will only be posted in the box seen in the page indicated above)

If on the other hand you decided to build a Shadow clone from scratch (possibly improving on the original design in some ways) you might take note that you'd enjoy a considerable headstart doing so if you begin with a 1969 Shelby GT-350.

But heck: a second Shadowfast wouldn't necessarily have to be an old Mustang pony car: it could be something completely different. Just inspired by the original.

If you should get struck with an idea for such a beast, whip it up and get it linked in a box like the one below to be seen in The Shadowfast supercar project (http://www.jmooneyham.com/super_car_project.html)!

(note that the links below are for illustration purposes only: actual links will only be posted in the box seen in the page indicated above)

After you've spun your tale or completed your design, don't forget to come back to get a link for it at Your future legend!

Present-day unsung heroes, and fiction or non-fiction tales regarding same.

In the novel The Chance of a Realtime the software entity Ovizatataron from the far future leaves behind in Staute's mind a list of unsung heroes existing among humanity during Staute's own 21st century lifetime, in the hope Staute may be able to help one or more of them at some point-- as they are unknowingly stalked and stymied by the awful Beast and his minions.

Make yourself or your fictional character one of these heroes battling against humanity's greatest unrecognized nemesis, then have your tale linked in a box like that below displayed in the main contents page of The Chance of a Realtime (http://www.jmooneyham.com/chance-realtime-toc.html)!

(note that the links below are for illustration purposes only: actual links will only be posted in the page listed above)

Redeemable geeks

So you might say The ultimate science fiction novel for geeks is my own 'Redeemable geek' page. I was surprised by how well it seemed to turn out. So it occurred to me there might be other true-life geek tales out there as good or maybe better than my own.

Keep in mind it's not all bad to be a geek. There's some high profile geeks-who-shook-the-world out there like Leonardo da Vinci, Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, and Dean Kamen, to name a few. Likely most popular novelists are really geeks from way back, too.

So why not share your own geek tale with the world? Besides helping build your own legend, it might help give hope to some younger geeks out there as well (you do remember what your own early days were like, right?).

After it's ready you can get your account linked in a box like that below, displayed in my own geek page (http://www.jmooneyham.com/ultimate-science-fiction-novel-for-geeks.html).

(note that the links below are for illustration purposes only: actual links will only be posted in the page listed above)

Wholly or largely undocumented events of the past or present-day, or fiction or non-fiction tales regarding same.

In Nowhere to Go But Up and Notes from the actual owner/driver of the Shadowfast super car I make references to a real life event which was apparently completely ignored or covered up so that no mention of it was made in the news media. Have you too witnessed such events? Then write about them and have them linked here!

Your own account can be purely documentary in nature, or entirely fictional, or a mix of both. When it's ready, have it linked in a box like that below displayed in the supercar finale Nowhere to go but up (http://www.jmooneyham.com/shadowfast_mustang.html)!

(note that the links below are for illustration purposes only: actual links will only be posted in the page listed above)

Alternative or parallel universe versions of events described in the novel The Chance of a Realtime.

In The Chance of a Realtime the immense living starship Thantia shocks Staute with the revelation that there exist on-going time anomalies such as his own in both the Sol's present and past, involving alternative vessels and crews to that with which Staute is familiar, many with their own but different abductees from various time periods (including Staute's own). Thantia speculates that Staute's abduction may have initiated all these.

Thantia offers up a list of such abductees to Staute during their conversation...

What does this mean for you? That you can create a completely different version of the novel's events to include yourself or fictional characters of your own making! Your own vessel and crew can make its time stops anywhere you wish across the entire span of universal history, from the beginning to the end-- as well as skip across dimensional boundaries to parallel realities...making almost anything possible!

And once your tale is complete (or sufficiently underway so that readers can begin following the plot) you can have it linked in a box like that below seen in the contents page of The Chance of a Realtime (http://www.jmooneyham.com/chance-realtime-toc.html)!
