He forgot

"Software engineer turned author, self insertion, the novel, the series, coming soon to Netflix."

(I love me some Dennis E. Taylor, and I'd love for a Netflix series, but all his stuff comes off as super Marty Sue, and since I am the target audience thatmeans I can relate to his main characters, which I then sort of feel bad about because reading his novels basically becomes a form of self indulgence.)


Bobiverse and Murderbot are both in desperate need of a movie / series.


If you believe wikipedia, the Murderbot half your wish is coming true:

  On December 14, 2023 Apple TV+, announced that it had ordered a television adaptation of the Murderbot series. Alexander Skarsgård is set to star in and executive produce the series with Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz directing.

I think Apple announced recently they're doing Murderbot: https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2023/12/apple-tv-lands-murd...


I do love the Dresden Codak reference ("Me am play god", which refers to Caveman Science Fiction: https://dresdencodak.com/2009/09/22/caveman-science-fiction/)


Me am sheltered life, found a new word ('findom', sigh).

Also, too many names, already or soon to be obscure, not that this is everlasting prose.
