Maybe this would be better for its own thread, but what are some really cool/nice bottles that are filled with stuff worth drinking?

Alcohol? Or anything?

I remember hearing about that one. It's Dan Aykroyd's vodka. Do they still make it?

I'll post some pics of it soon.

They still make it. Probably still awful.

I’ll get a topic going for drinks in general. No Baja Blast talk though :lol:

Edit: Here’s the topic.

And I’m kidding about the Baja Blast bit
I own too many hoodies jackets hoodies and DS games and I’m not ashamed!

They still make it lol. Dan Aykroyd on Rogan a few years back, you can see his vodka around the 3:30 mark & hear his pitch:

Of course, they're modeled after the crystal skulls in Aykroyd style. Straight outta Ray's Occult Books 8) :lol:

Well, I'm not sure where the best thread is to post something like this, but I have been releasing a collection of short stories on Amazon. The collection is Slums of Buckhead City, a set of cyberpunk short stories covering the high and low life of the city of the future.

I'm up to 7 stories in the collection, with more scheduled and planned. Currently all are free to read and are available directly on the Amazon site or for Kindle, though after the first ten are published, Amazon starts charging for future stories.

My current plan is to release up to twenty stories in the set and then put them into a single book, hopefully with a physical edition as well as the e-reader format.

Ack, that's awesome! I'll definitely check them out.

You should make a thread in Creator's Corner...

That's so cool! I want to buy them for my mom, and put them on her ebook reader. Are rhey available in files, or do I extract and compile them into epub myself?

If you have the Kindle app, you can download them directly. Android and Fire have a "Store" tab you can use, while iOS has "Discover". Once you select the tab, you then look for the Kindle Vella link, and you can then search for the stories directly.

The alternative is to go to the Kindle Vella section of the Amazon website and pull them from there, but I'm not sure the best way to extract them.

If these options don't work, maybe we can figure something else out. I'll send you the .doc files if I have to, haha!

I was wondering the same thing. I'd more likely want to read them on my Kindle, but perhaps even the Kindle app on my phone. Short stories are great when you have a short time to kill.

I was suggesting to you to make a thread for this because I think it's awesome enough and is totally deserving of its own thread. And it'll get lost in this thread, with a lot of semi-regulars and non-regulars probably never seeing it.
