The Mr. Nightcrawler Trilogy: Book I

Not open for further replies.
Favorite Character: Hmm... Tough one. Hawk's pretty cool, of course. Ling's all hot and scary.:p Hard to choose.

Favorite Scene: Austin cracking that guy upside the head with his bat. I like it when "normal" people do that kind of thing for their friends. Of course, I always get a kick out of "Hi, welcome to Applebee's!"

Favorite line: "Mike, I am never going anywhere with you again!":D

You wanna be in the story, you gotta take your lumps. One solid rule about the 'Crawlerverse is that everything breaks, gets shot, explodes, or has something happen to it eventually.

I dunno, I think those cows survived just fine. :neener:
 
My favorite line in this one was easily "Everybody's good at something."

In fact, I've already quoted it at other people.

I'll have to re-read #2 to find a favorite part from that.

Don't be so sure... ol' Bessie may've had a heart attack after seeing a yellow sports car hurtling toward her at ~100mph.

At the very least, she'll never give fresh milk again.;)
 
Favorite line from #2?

This was it. I put my hand out, palm down. “Thanks, guys.”

Reaper put his on top of mine. “Anytime, chief.”

Bob followed suit. “No problem, bro.”

Nightcrawler looked at us incredulously. "What the ****? What is this? Oh my God. You're serious, aren't you?" A moment later, grinning, he stuck his hand on the pile. "Power of HEART!" he exclaimed. "Go Captain Planet!"

MHI we are going to ask for a special thread for Larry's daily update and reflections on what the wait is doing to us.
 
One of my favorite parts is when they do the knife check and and Valentine, Jeff and Corwin take out their knives and stab them into the table.
 
The best scene ever will be in Book III, when the time machine malfunctions, and NC has to save the princess from the dinosaur people, while Lorenzo is being DNA tested to see if he is Anna Nicole's baby daddy, only to be interupted by the terrorist group CAREBEAR and their rainbow-love puff bomb.

Just kidding. Lorenzo has way too much pride for that.

Hold on there chief, the Carebears are not a terrorist organization. We... uh I mean they are just a bunch of guys who enjoy a good shoot after work.


ETA.

Rainbow-love puff bomb? Excellent i've been wondering what I should call that thing. And they thought I was mad when I spec'd peeps in the design doc. Muahahahahahahahah.

More! More! Does Geraldo Rivera appear? Does Valentine turn out to be Gecko45? Is Hawk really Gunkid (whose recent arrest was a government conspiracy to recruit him again)?
Tell us more!

Thats also my favorite line from these stories:D
 
AWESOME!

Well done. And well worth waiting for. Of course, I got it all in one chunk, as I've been gone since the beginning of Lent and just back this morning. And yes, NC, I read the whole thing in one morning.

I too thought the cow was hilarious. It's the mundane things that will get you, every time.

BTW: Larry, the plural of "fly"... is "flies". I can't comment on the Spanish vs. Portuguese linguistics, as I am hopelessly foreign language disabled, but English spelling, yes. And where the heck is MHI anyway?????

Again, Nightcrawler, well done. Whatever else you do with your life, keep writing!

Thank you.

I know about flies, flys, but that is the beauty of internet fiction where you crank out 1,000 words in 30 minutes and slap that sucker up. :)

MHI is being revamped to the specifications of a really big publisher that has shown quite a bit of interest. They like it a lot, but want a few plot points changed. So it is still out there, and if they end up rejecting it, then off to the self-publisher.
 
I know I am not the only one who has been bugging the *&^% out of Larry for a date this is available.

NC wrote a lil teaser in here somewhere after he read his own personal autographed copy of MHI. He put his own flavor into it so I am sure the scifi, fantasy buffs among us will have no problem immersing into the story and characters.

You mean the gangly, double-spaced .doc file Correia e-mailed me? :D

Yeah, that was my halloween story. Just a little blurb 'cause I was bored. :cool:

I'm not giving ANY teasers for Book III. I gave plenty for Book I. Book III will shock and awe you, my friends. Just you wait...
 
Very nice. This absolutely killed my productivity at work for the last two days. I can't wait for the Book II rewrite and book III. :)
 
No set date for the rewrite of II, or the serialized unveiling of III.

III isn't written at all yet. We're going to write it on the fly again, but this time we're going to at least plan ahead, because it is the end of the Nightcrawler Trilogy, and we don't want to screw it up. :)

MHI is being rewritten to the specifications of a big publishing house. They like it, but want a few things changed. Fingers crossed, and if rejected this last time, it will be self published.
 
I know I have told you before. Larry, You need a few more people to proof read it before you send it out.

Consistently persistent bordering on badgering.
 
Oh man, I just got all this in one chunk, and have effectively been rendered enitrely ineffective for one day's worth of work. Thanks. :)

The more I read your work NightCrawler, the more I want a FAL just like Valentines!
hmmmmmm... :D

His works better than mine! :cuss:

(Since being converted from a standard STG-58 to a 16.25" franken-carbine, I've been slowly but surely working the bugs out of mine. One trip to a smith fixed most of the problems with gas pressure and gas piston binding, but I'm still having some reliability problems. I can't figure out of it's the ammo I'm using (I have a bad lot of South African; inconsistent recoil is never a good sign) or something else, and it's driving me up the wall.

All the same, everyone who shot my carbine at the FBMG shoot really liked it. I'll get it running like a singer again, I've just got to keep tweaking it. :cool:
 
I scanned the last few pages, and didn't spot if someone had consolidated this story into a document as yet. Someone have it that could either post a link or have available to email? With appropriate approval, of course!

:)
 
I don't think anyone has, other than just cut and pasted it into Word.

NC and I are working on Book III now. It will be posted here. Then we're going to put the whole thing out there. The downloadable version will be free. The one with the extras, deleted scenes, art work, etc. will cost a little bit of money.

Why? Because I've always wanted to release a DVD. :)
 
Well I have read all of it in one sitting, can't believe I missed this thread for so long.

I loved the Applebees scene, I was expecting this total badass dark parking lot theme and boom! I can say for sure that I did not see that coming at all. I really liked Hawk, he reminds me of Shannon in The Dogs of War. Maybe you didn't intend that, but all really smooth mercenary types make me think of him. It was a very awesome read!
