On July 11, www.dustrunners.com
launched a new game with a very special prize: the
chance to be a criminal.
Dustrunners is an animated series coming to the web
this fall. It’s about asteroid
pirates. It’s about government police forces. It’s
about dogfights and covert operations.
And if you’re clever, it can be about you. Six
skilled players will actually become
characters in the show. They will work with ship and
character designers to make
their ideal personalities, and will be integrated
into the story. How do you play?
That’s the tricky part.

Bulwer-Lytton Awards Given
The annual Bulwer-Lytton awards, given to the person
who writes the first sentence of the wosrt imaginable
novel, were awarded yesterday. The winners in all
categories (including the sci-fi and fantasy
categories) are given here.
I love the sci-fi dishonourable mention: Rodney
knew that he was going to die a horrible, screaming,
unspeakable death, when he arrived on the bridge in a
uniform that did not match the others, was referred
to only as “yeoman” and was to be sent planetside
with Captain Kirk and the regular away team.
