I’m Aktor Kadz, and I’m an alien.</h3><h3>Actually, you’re the alien here, but I won’t argue the point.</h3><h3><span style="font-size: 19px;">So when I found my Earthean agent, I was told to get my platform ready.<br></span>“You need a platform, Aktor,” she said.<br>“What’s a platform?” I asked.<br>“You need to put yourself out there,” she said. “Before you’re published.”<br>“Out where?”<br>“In. The. Blogosphere.”<br>“The <i>what</i>?”<br>“It’s sort of like a virt platform,” my agent told me. “So people know who you are.”<br>“Half the known galaxies know who I am. I’m the big AK. <i>You</i> know. The virtscripter of &nbsp;<i>Doomworlds,</i>&nbsp;and <i>Instaglius Burns</i>. And now, <i>The Pirateers.”<br><o:p></o:p></i>To be honest, Earthea is pretty primitive compared to Stoliz, my home world. Stoliz is a firstworld, in the Atakin galaxy.<br>Your world isn’t even in the three known galaxies. It wouldn’t even qualify as a fifthworld in the Atakin galaxy.<br>&nbsp;“<i>The Pirateers</i> will be published soon,” said my agent. “Your audience here needs to be introduced to you.”<br>“I can upload my virts,” I said. “I’ve got the whole set I did for InterGal Net.”<br>“We don’t do holo,” she said.<br>“What? No holo? No 4D sync?”<br>“No.”<br>“No virt interviews from a galaxy light years from you?”<br>“<i>Especially</i> no virt interviews. &nbsp;We don’t do holovirt. Not yet, anyway.”<br>“So why don’t you do an Earthean interview on your earth TV?”<br>“People have funny ideas about aliens. I don't want to scare them off.”<br>“But you’re the aliens here.”<br>“No Aktor. <i>You’re</i> the alien.”</h3><h3><br>So here I am. Aktor Kadz. Alien, and proud of it. Blogging about my series of books called <i>The Pirateers,</i> coming soon to a holoscroll store near you. And life in the three known galaxies. And anything else you’d like to talk or hear about.</h3>
