Duel of the Fates - the weeks ahead
I plan on doing one more exhibition Duel of the Fates segment for The Dragon Page Wingin' It show (not saying yet who the combatants will be), and then getting into the 8-character elimination tournament. The number one seed in that tournament will be President William Sterling the Black, from my forthcoming e-book and podiobook podcast, "Spherical Tomi". The remaining seven seeds? They will be determined by you, the listeners. Cast your votes for your favorite (or least favorite) SF character by sending a quick e-mail to FatesDuel@yahoo.com. Feedback is ok at that e-mail too. The voting results will be tallied, and the top 7 vote-getters will get to compete alongside William the Black for the Duel of the Fates Crown.
Here's a long list of suggestions, but feel free to deviate and be creative with your votes! And please remember that the whole thing is meaningless. . .
