A good friend of mine is publishing a pulp-inspired adventure novel in 250-word chapters

he's also they guy that pointed me toward the Pulp-o-mizer site, which lets you make some awesome little book covers :)

Anyhow, Scout's Honor is a good little read and the chapters go by pretty quick, so if you get a chance, check it out.

I did not just squee.

This is almost certainly what a pulp magazine publisher who only glanced briefly through the book would make of CoJ. (I'd much like to see a pulp fantasy version of the program, which doesn't seem to exist yet, but converting it to sci-fi actually seems to help the joke: it doesn't really matter what the content is, the cover sells the issue. ;) )

Hey everyone, I'm the friend who's writing the pulp adventure novel.  The novel isn't supposed to be anything but a fun romp of an adventure, one for which I'd love to get some feedback.  Also, for people interesting in reading the whole story, here's the link for the first chapter:

Take a look (and check out the Pulp-O-Mizer cover for the story)!
