Participate

So you've landed here and skimmed around — and it's actually all quite interesting. You'd like to be in the loop. That's excellent. We'd love to have you in the loop, too! This is a shared creative process — all the more beautiful with you in the loopy loops.

While there's one person holding the pen, a shared momentum is moving the hand and heart that author these tales. Not only can you help us out with your reflections and feedback in refining what is — you can be a living part of all that follows. We (probably) won't add in a supporting character modeled after you — but your essence will influence the characters and situations we explore.

— That's all great, let's spin and roll! What's next? Where do I start? — We start with the basic lay of the land. We have an orientation letter for our beta-readers. Please read it. Obviously read all the other stuff on this website too. We didn't craft it all just for our own amusement. There's also an intro video you should check out: Mooland Beta Reader Orientation (ICU 001) 📺

If all of that makes sense, then please contact us ▸ and drop in a short intro of yourself. We'll get the cosmic wheels humming for you. For the meantime, we've also churned and turned up eight rounds of inspirations, a sampler of the "Mooland Model" of operations, to help you grow more familiar with the threads of our hybrid operation — where our narrative world and process meet. Read on.
