Roundbottom: Prof. Welterschmidt & His Manservant Spirit
Filed Under: My Writing, Photography
This week, Dr. Roundbottom’s friend and expert on the supernatural arrives by train in the city to help with the ruse to solve the war crisis. Here’s a taste:
“Are the faculty and students accustomed to the sight of your manservant at the University then?”
“Quite. Why do you think I took my position there, instead of here in the city? And no, not just for the wealth of local breweries catering to the students. Prauygis University is the most haunted in the four worlds! One does not bat an eye at such things there. A student in my 302 lecture is a lost soul, actually. Much more actualized than this poor fellow.”
“Actualized? Is this why he has no face?”
He nodded. We began to walk away from the station. I had passed a tavern nearby on several ocassions, and even though I never have the time of coin to enter such places, I had made note of its location. Professor
Welterschmidt has always done much of his thinking with a pint of stout in his hands since we were students together.
“Indeed. Spirits are merely echos in the ectoplasmic frequencies of the aether. This poor echo has little mind of its own, little motivation other than to work. I provide it that opportunity. With time, its actualization requirements will be satisifed and it will fade into the background energies. Anyway, you may note that most ‘proper’ people pay him no mind. Transparent and faceless he may be, but he is still dressed a low class laborer, which might as well make him invisible in these streets. ”
So, go check it out. This week, you can converse not only with Dr. Roundbottom but with Professor Welterschmidt as well. Where can you find such amazing entertainment? Why, click this link of course!
Roundbottom Foundation Membership Packets
Filed Under: My Writing, Photography, Writing Process
Yeah, I know you’re probably tired of hearing about all this, but it’s all I am working on right now. You definitely don’t want to read about my work or politics. Anyway, I’m working on the Roundbottom Foundation membership packets. So far these packets include:
- one 8×10 print of either the Curious Mycoid, Another Clockwork Curiosity, The Common Maned Sprite, or Regarding Moth Pixies and Browncaps. These prints will printed on Fuji Luster Pro paper. be stamped on the back with the official City seal and will be signed by Dr. Roundbottom.
- A specially addressed formal membership card with your steampunk name on it. Or your real one, whatever you want.
- A letter of thanks from Miss Watkins
- Access to the members-only area of the site, which provides a behind-the-scenes look at how Dr. Roundbottom’s photonic captures and podcasts are made. Will include hilarious outtakes from podcast sessions and discarded photos. Basically, fun stuff. This area will update monthly.
All of this for a $35 “donation”*. All images not listed above will sell in limited editions of 50 in a 16×20 size for $125 per print. These will signed and stamped as well. If you buy a larger print, you will receive a free membership in the Roundbottom Society.
I’d be more than happy to hear suggestions for other membership perks I should give. Leave me a note in the comments. I still need to make the membership cards.
So there are the near finalized financials behind the Clockpunk project. I won’t even go into how much bloody money I’ve spent on this thing. It will take a very long time to recoup my expenses, if I ever do. I’m doing this because I really enjoy it. Money from memberships will mostly be turned right back into props, materials, and photo equipement. Maybe I’ll sell a bunch of limiteds and I can rent that studio space down town. I really need an indoor place to shoot soon with winter approaching.
*Not really a donation. We’re not non-profit. Not that we’re actually making a profit, mind you…
