With The Arrival launching soon on @storycohq - I get to talk about my absolute FAVORITE feature on the platform: CoCreates!
I love that the platform has created a seamless way for creators to collaborate with their communities.
You don’t need to be a professional to submit and many of the shortlisted co/creates so far have actually come from fans/people who just wanted to try it out 😄.
The “applications/submissions” are designed to be really simple, not take up too much of your time (e.g. for art/music, you can choose to just submit your portfolio) so dont be intimidated!!
Put your favorite voice talent on game by tagging them in the comments👇🏾

The Arrival’s origins date back to about 8-10 years ago when I started rewriting Dragon Wars as a novel called GemSearch.
The prologue detailed the crash landing of an alien species from another galaxy. In that version, Patrick and Dolores were 16 years old.
Standing ten toes down on the power and greatness of The Arrival.
After seeing this come to life in so many formats, I think I’ve finally found the one that works best for the experience I want to create. Big thanks to @storycohq for seeing the potential (see what I did there) in this story and for putting resource behind bringing it to life on your platform!

It made it all the way to 205Z’s early drafts. But was edited away during one of the developmental rounds, because the editor advised that there was a disconnection between that event and the events of the story. So I rewrote it to focus on Allister.
Let the building / rebuilding begin.
I recognize that maybe I was trying to push through before, and that my heart really wasn’t in it.
I had a ton of great opportunities come up that I wanted and appreciated, but wasn’t ready to see through.
Happy to be 100% all in again

My journey with @LCOA2052 inside and outside of technology as a tool for innovating the storytelling experience, has been nothing short of a lesson in resilience, consistency, and imagining a future I can’t see yet.
People see potential in me. I’m starting to see it too ☺️.
So I’ve been sitting on this news for MONTHS, & y’all know I can’t keep my mouth shut.
I’m excited to (finally) announce that the multimedia version of [The Arrival] is coming soon to @StorycoHQ ✨
Thank you so much to @StorycoHQ for the opportunity to reimagine THE ARRIVAL as a truly immersive, multimedia story.
@LCOA2052 has been chosen as part of a cohort to transform their stories using the incredible technology developed by the team.
The Arrival, coming soon!!
Integrity can always be reclaimed. But it can take diligence to be maintained. Perfection can’t be sustained. Make your mistakes, and leave space for faith.
A lot of thank you’s are in order. Still processing how special last night was. Congrats to all of the exhibiting artists from all over the world who were part of this. Congrats to everyone who sold work.
And thank you to everyone for coming. More to say, I just don’t have the words right now. I love y’all. I love Solana.
Writing is a beautiful, never-ending journey. Growing up, I love absolutely LOVED Mythology. I got lost in so many of those epic adventures, watching film adaptations and reading books.
Here's my attempt at breathing new life into these myths:

The artist was obsessed with the goddess Hecate, and had conceptualised this cover art with Hecate, Demeter, and Persephone on the front. They were played by Viola Davis, Whoopi Goldberg, and Zendaya, respectively.
I thought, why not? It's been a slow moving project, but I finally published the first section. Tinkering with it got me very excited to continue. It's a 10 minute read - have a look and leave your thoughts! Thanks to @t2wrld for giving writers the space to create and share!
