Back to Journal  « 2008 Submission Log Weeks 1 and 2 | The Dumb Man as Machinima | Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award: Semifinalist » The Dumb Man as Machinima January 16, 2008 A few years back I narrated Sherwood Anderson's The Dumb Man, released it free with a Creative Commons License. I did it because it was interesting, because I was never sure what to make of something so strange and elusive, complete with a mysterious form (riddle? prose poem?). Of course I got a bunch of emails asking what the hell it was, and I never knew what to say... Except that if I ever thought it was a silly exercise, then today I'm reeeaally glad I did it anyway. Multimedia artist Lainy Voom contacted me last week with what she was working on: she's used it in a Second Life machinima, and it's astounding (and I'd agree with Cory Doctorow's comment: "the most beautiful machinima I've seen to date"). Love, love, love that I could be a small part of something like this, and that a seemingly incidental CCL-licensed work could have such a life beyond what I did with it. Thanks, Lainy!
