An Erotic Graphic Novel by Dr. Faustus

Writer's Journal: Almost done with drafting The Adjusters #23. I was hoping to get it done before this weekend trip, but not quite. If all went according to plan (I'm writing this mid-week, and scheduling it for posting on Saturday—we'll see how well that works) I probably finished the last scene in my notebook right about now. File this one under "fun with time warping." [Turns out I couldn't get the automated posting to work, so I'm posting it manually tonight. Sigh. And yes, I did manage to finish the last scene of #23.]



There was a pleasant surprise for me in my RSS feed this week—which some of you probably already know about, but in case not, I am here to share the wealth.

Dr. Faustus, of the blog EroticMadScience.com, has just published an erotic graphic novel based on his screenplay The Apsinthion Protocol, illustrated by Lon Ryden. It is available either as individual volumes in PDF or CBZ or as a single PDF file. And it's free, as we like it.

The Apsinthion Protocol is the first part of a series called Gnosis College—which as the name implies is a weird mix of philosophy, academic research, and sex, with a generous vibe of mad science thrown in. I've read it, enjoyed it, and also read the sequel, Study Abroad. It takes some time to get used to reading screenplays, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty much like any short story, except with more dialogue. I haven't read the third and fourth parts yet, Progress in Research and Invisible Girl, Heroine, but they're next on my list.

I'm pleased to see that Dr. Faustus and Ryden are now producing a graphic novel based on Study Abroad, and the pages are posted on Dr. Faustus's main blog as well as here as they appear.

Have a look, it's worth it.
