Thanks for your latest offering! Great stuff! I don't think any other superlatives from me would be necessary after all this time - as a regular member of your audience, we all know why we're here!👂👏😊😊😊🤓
So you're saying that after your next stories will be on another platform? Will your stories be accessed from your website? ( I'm not very "techy " aka old)
@@barbaranestor1997 No! Sorry, Barbara. This confusion is only one of the many frustrations I have with UA-cam Podcasts. I know it's confusing. There is UA-cam (here), but they also had Google Podcasts. They decided to merge Google Podcasts with UA-cam, which in theory would be great, but instead of segregating podcast episodes from ordinary videos, what UA-cam Podcast does is simply generate a video for each podcast episode, which in my case meant an identical video for each story, because my podcast episodes are the stories that I post here on UA-cam, but they go out to other platforms like Spotify and Apple. The only thing that will change if you watch on UA-cam is that there will no longer be a duplicate video for each story. I'll be posting every story on here as usual. Hope that helps to clarify!
@@RoweLit Whew! Thank you! I have loved sci- fi for over 50 years, But your writing is beyond compare. You are so talented, I'm so glad I came across your stories ♥
I have gotten so involved in this universe of yours that it sometimes permeates into my dreams so deeply that I awake not quite knowing which world I am living in for real.. but that doesn't last long. Each story is so full of excitement, fear and love that I have to listen through again to fully comprehend the subtleties that is intertwined in each episode. Thank you for all your wonderful work..
God damn dude, that one went hard! It is by far my favorite one so far, now that i am well and truly familiar and invested in the characters. Looking forward to the mini movie collab. Good luck!
Cheers, BB! Glad you enjoyed it 😃🙏Just in case I wasn't as clear as I should have been, the collab will be an audiobook novella (at least for now), but we'll see if it goes anywhere from there.
Dude, you're not lazy for not putting out a new story every single week ever ever. Who the hell else even tries, let alone consistently makes quality, let alone hard SF? U do good, man.
Cheers, Wes! The funny thing is, I feel like because I can do it and want to do it every week that I should do it every week. I don't want to leave any stories unwritten 😃Sometimes, though, you do have to come up for air.
Thank you, P. My guts feel like a sack of marbles coming to rest at the end of a Maytag spin cycle... You are a merciless driver of visceral perturbation.
Every time I see that you have posted a new story on your channel I have the "The new phone books are here! The new phone books are here!" reaction that Steve Martin has in "The Jerk".
Everyone thinks it's all about the yellow pages, because of all the pictures and fancy fonts and advertising, but the real connoisseurs go all in for the white pages. That's where you'll find peak phone number density 😂
I assume Field will return when he finally " ascends" . Thus his humanity finally dies . I'm running out of superlatives. So brilliant and believable. Extraordinary. I'm a Patreon (?) now mate .I would have done it ages ago but things were tight . Cheers Robdog
@@RoweLit That was soooo good It’s crazy how invested I am in these characters. (Fieldstone needs to dump the younger chick. Just saying’…) Great story!🐥
I feel you. YT notifications are unreliable. I just keep a browser tab open and reload it. Happy Thursday my dude. Love your work and I've suggested it to several people.
Ive got you on Patreon . It's basic but I'll raise it when im working again. I've never done that before, but I feel that you are that good and that you must succeed. Robdog @RoweLit
HOLIDAYS!! HOW DARE YOU 😂😂😂😂. Trust me have been missed but we ALL need to recharge The Batteries once in a while❤️. Welcome back and I'm waiting patiently for whatever comes next. FYI several of the people i follow are having such issues with UA-cam so take heart. Unfortunately several have given up and moved to other platforms, PLEASE DON'T DO THAT 🙏❤️
Cheers, Peter! I have no intention of going anywhere till they throw me off the platform 😃 All of my favorite poets eventually got exiled, so I'm hoping that someday I'll be worthy of that honor as well 😂 Seriously, though, I hate to grumble about YT and I have no intention of leaving. I love that I get to share my work here with so many people all over the world (and I would love it if the podcast feature worked in the channel's favor nearly as well, but it hasn't worked out that way, unfortunately). For all it's many faults, UA-cam is seriously one of the most amazing technical advancements of my lifetime. Pardon me, though, my car has a broken shock that needs replacing, and I think I'll listen to Bach on lute, a neurology lecture, and some stand-up comedy from the 80s while I do that. This place is amazing!
My friend I was worried you want to far on the first one and this would have been rushed. But you blew my mind. This was absolutely awesome! One day when you are on top of I will be able to say I was here at the genesis of it!
Thanks, Todd! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure where this whole process will take me, but I'm going to keep writing regardless of where I end up. In this case especially, it's all about the journey(s) 🚀🚀🚀
Such maturity in the story here……I was riveted all three listens, so yes I hold by that. New stories coming in hot! I really do look forward to new stories, thanks man..🤝
Ps. Had to endure the paucity by reading Greg bears eon again, and the scope of your parallel existences available thru the artefacts with the assurance that death is merely the means to return to ‘real space time’ is wider in my humble opinion, you have created the never ending story.
Cheers, Philip. I look forward to sharing them as well. If only I had a clone or two we could get probably about half as much done 😂 My house would be cleaner, but there'd be nothing but bickering in the writer's room 😂
@@RoweLit my problem to progress is once I open the gate to one idea it grows tentacles that reach out and grab a dozen more in a split second….and it’s not possible to write that fast. Great news that you are knocking some episodes into shape for a visual series….i won’t use tv or film to give it a name because heritage media for storytelling has its days numbered. Years ago at film school I wanted my film to be projected on multiple screens, each screen showing the same scenes from different angles, I figured that the narrative for each viewing would change in the viewers mind according to the order of sequencing their eyes followed….i was reading Sergei Eisenstein at the time, one page a day! Dense. So in this non linear digital world we now inhabit it might be interesting to play with method and form… the way you covered the shoot out in the mall anyways I look forward to it
Nooo! I'm all caught up with every story, and it feels awful! Being we don't have an Artifact, does anyone know a good doctor that could put me in a hibernational state for awhile?
You never fail to get me thinking about the brain, the soul, and the human experience. I eagerly await Fieldstone’s return. Glad to hear you have big plans in the works! Good health in good growth!
Thanks, MJ! Those are the big questions 😃 I love that fiction can ask them in ways that allow people to grapple with them differently. Plus, sci-fi is so fun to write!
The stories would adapt well to live action cinema but it would take an equal creative talent to cast it and hold it true to the source material. Until then, I really enjoy the current format.
Crumbs both deep and very dark! Definitely challenges one to ponder what the minimal human is needed to be human. With just an organic brain stem left, I guess that level maintains some vestiges of the animal machinery for wakefulness and sleep meaning I suppose although awareness now lives in a synthetic substrate, the patterns copied from the organic original are not yet ready for a sleepless existence. Moving to that final level would I further guess leave what it means to be human behind, a consequence being a certain number of subjects failing to adapt (going mad in the process) and presumably being “deactivated” before any kind of fighting is even considered. Mr. Rowe, wow! Just wow! Maybe a dystopian world as dark, if not darker, as anything from Aldous Huxley!
G'day to you again my Friend! Intriguing very intriguing , once more a very good tale, I am trying to work out where it will end up, thank you once more, looking forward to next Adventure! Armadale West Aust.
I meant to comment on this last week but its been busy. It was a great story to relax to after finishing midterms. 1/4 the way done the academic side of primary care paramedic. Its rough being back in school after this many years lol. The story was oddly relatable. I have had to rebuild my way of treating patients from a military perspective to the civilian world. Also we have mandatory jiu jitsu, where I have learn to not use as much force as I would have in the military lol unlike your characters lol. As always thank you for sharing these wonderful stories.

Dude you really hit a home run with that one.
I was in college class listening to this and pretending to pay attention to George Orwell’s life. 😂😂
Cheers, Eedjit! Awesome and poetic 😂 I wonder what George would have thought of Yaal.
I reckon George would approve fellow Rowester .
God damn dude, that one went hard! It is by far my favorite one so far, now that i am well and truly familiar and invested in the characters.

@@RoweLit that is the truth. .Got to rest that brain most of all.
Captivated. these artifact chapters are amazing.
Glad you're enjoying them! Another on the way next week 😃
I am so happy that Ren got some focus. She's a character that I have been curious about.
Thank you for your stories.
Cheers, Brian! She's been doing her best to hide in the background, but that only works for so long on the Y-C!
This one was scary for me as it is one of my biggest fears-- losing my humanity. As always, I love your work. ❤
The good news, Nicki, according to traditional hymns, is that if lost, it can be found again 😂
Thank you, P.
