Thank you, thank you, thank you very much for all the views, adds and new follows! I'm humbled! If you're a fan of the Free League "ALIEN" RPG, I'm about to unveil a new website containing alternate rules, art, tech, items, skills, space craft, starships, vehicles, weapons, etc. for the game along with new fiction and art. If you liked my "Terminator 2029AD" site, I think you're going to like my new "ALIEN" site. Update soon!

I use AI for art. There, I said it. Fight me. Now, I'll tell you why. The honest truth is that I LOVE art but I can't draw worth a damn. I can, however, as a popular amateur author, write stories better than most of you, if you even can write stories, and I've found that AI is a magic box. It is a magic box that I can put words into and the most amazing pictures come out of it. I've seen a lot of ignorant people say that "AI art isn't art". I beg to differ and I'll tell you why. If you can slip a crucifix with Christ on it into a Mason Jar full of human urine and call it "Piss Christ" and have that be considered "art" then you have no room, the art community as a whole, has no room to decide what is and what isn't "art." For me, imagine that as far as making art, I'm handicapped. I am physically handicapped when it comes to creating art of any kind (video, paint, drawn, music, etc.). I can't draw or paint, yet I am still an artist because I understand art and recognize art

Well, my website, www.goingfaster.com is back up. Some of it was logistics (a debit card expired and auto-renew was cancelled) and I was lazy enough to just let the site de-rez for a few months because ... life ... lazy ... didn't think anyone really cared about my site. I was ... wrong. I've had a vast amount of email from fans the past six months asking and begging and pleading for the site to be reloaded or, if not, could parts of the site be mirrored. People offered to pay for webhosting (not a problem, actually) or host the site on their own domain space. Reddit and other assorted social media posts were lit with posts about "Is Christopher T. Shields still alive?" and "What happened to going faster? I've had several published authors contact me about my site and my health and offering assistance in hosting or rebuilding the site. It's quite humbling and I had NO idea my site was in any way as popular as I now understand it to be. I apologize for letting it slack and
