twenty thousand battutas cry out in exultation!

today, gathered in joy, we are all battutas
My novel 'The Traitor Baru Cormorant' will be - uh, well, it's going to have an agent (once I select among the offers I've received), which is a huge step on the road to publication.
And pending any awful disaster, I'll be moving to Seattle to start work as a writer at Bungie Studios, creators of Marathon, Halo, and the forthcoming Destiny.

My work on Blue Planet was the centerpiece of my application, so I owe this one to the BP crew, everyone from the SCP who's helped out, and the community.

Godspeed you magnificent bastard. Farewell.

I'll come visit when I'm in Seattle in October. :P

Grats!
Now you need to tell us everything about Destiny. It's not NDA if it's anonymous, amirite.
-
'gratz, Batts! this may be the best news for AAA video game stories in a long time.
-
Hey, congrats Battuta!
So, if you are near the convention centre, can Zacam and I crash there for PAX Prime 2014? ;)
-
Hellz yeah, Battuta! Go and make us proud!

Congratulations!
Everyone should remember that they can put their work at HLP on their resumes. It can significantly enhance your credentials, as this and other examples have shown. :nod:

Wow, I am speechless. Congratulations Battuta!

I don't think I've really had any experience with Bungie's games before, but it looks like you secured a great position! Congratulations! :)

Keep an eye on Enemy Starfighter, by a Bungie alum. It looks amazing.

Congrats! Didn't realize you were novellizing Baru. Let us know when it does get published; I certainly enjoyed the short version. Also, hope this doesn't mean your BP work gets put aside ;)
FYI, I will now be PMing you whenever there is a plothole in a Bungie game :P
Lastly, Seattle ain't that far from me. You may need to drag your ass northward sometime.

I've read it, and it's a really good can't-stop-turning-pages story. Unfortunately, given the vagaries of print publishing, even if it were sold to a publisher today, we wouldn't be seeing it in stores for another year or two.
-
Yaytutta!
-
Congrats and good luck! :yes:
-
You deserve it battuta. Go make something good.
-
Congrats, Mighty General! :yes: :yes2:
Looking forward to reading the Baru novel (original short story (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/the-traitor-baru-cormorant-her-field-general-and-their-wounds-by-seth-dickinson/) for those interested), although as The E said, it'll be a ways off.
Since you're now in the industry, let me know if you end up going to GDC next month. :D
My work on Blue Planet was the centerpiece of my application, so I owe this one to the BP crew, everyone from the SCP who's helped out, and the community.
A second congrats to the BP Team is in order! :yes:
Also echoing Goober with a reminder that work at HLP has been known to be the critical factor in getting people jobs., sometimes even in the game industry. :nod:
-
Major congrats, Battuta! Rock on! :yes:
-
Chieftutta!

Congratulations Heir General. I will be 30 miles from your new address to pick your brain! :lol: ;7 :lol:

You live in Washington, too? Maybe you should join us for celebratory drinks.

Grats Tutta, we need MANY more writers of your caliber to makeup for the legions of dimwits staffed at various companies.
Teach those dimwits the power of Blue Planet!

Welcome to Seattle, home of the 12th man! (Go Hawks!)
The Bungie office is actually in Bellevue right? Above the Rock Bottom brewery? Or do they have multiple offices in both Seattle and Bellevue?
I work just two blocks away at Bellevue City Hall, and we go to Rock Bottom a couple times a month for lunch.
