Begin project:

L1V3S (thirteen lives) will be a collection of thirteen original short stories. Each story will focus on one character-one life-that is somehow connected to the world of video games.

Each story will be written by a different author and, across the project, a variety of writing styles and genres will be encouraged. As each story is finished, it will be uploaded to the web site as a post (as an extract) and as a downloadable rich text document file. When all thirteen stories are finished, voice talent will be sourced and the stories will be recorded as audio (mp3 format). These recordings will then be turned into an audio book and burnt onto DVDs or uploaded as a series of podcasts.

The first two stories in the project will be ‘L1V3S: GameGirl_19′ and ‘L1V3S: Tony Klausen’, both of which were commissioned for issues of JumpButton magazine.
