Another poll question - Alien Cameras!

[mary_j_59]

My sister and I are having a bit of a debate. She hates the word "holocam", which sounds, to her, too much like something from Star Trek I rather like it. At least it makes clear that it's a camera, and from the future. But what do you think? Should I change this word? If so, to what?

Thanks for your tuppence worth! I think it would probably be ideal to call it some alien thing and then explain later that it's a 3-d video camera, but my technique doesn't extend to figuring out how to do this smoothly and easily. So holocam it is, for now. I may put up my "new" first page so people can see how it flows now (and, hopefully, get interested in the book, if I manage to get it published!)Do you think that would be a good idea?

And, btw, would you like me to shoot you an epub file of the latest version?

Yes, I think you should put the first page up - it is a very strong start and would get people interested, I think. And I agree that stopping to explain everything would probably hold the book up.

And yes, I'd love a file of the latest version.
