About Rowe Writes: • Introducing: Rowe Writ...
About this project: I am writing a weekly sci-fi story to the theme of Isaac Arthur’s SFIA videos. It’s a crazy challenging timeframe to create a good short story in, and to do so publicly is even more daunting. I’m just hoping some good stories come out of this, I have fun writing them, and most importantly, the audience enjoys!
Thanks for stopping by!

Now this is my kind of story I'm seeing it play out out a certain way but I'm just in at seven the game is a foot😮
Mark CEN CA man I love this the assassin's cold-blooded I wonder if he can take transom I don't think he can I'm in 21cant wait for transom to get all pissed off in a cool way
Mark CEN CA I don't like the fact that the Yahoos came that close to our crew but this is the misfits 😎
Not a lot I'd rather be doing than listening to a PE Rowe story. I am disappointed in the world for a hundred reasons, but not your story telling. it is great . I am disappointed in the world to some degree that you don't have more subs. However, as far as I can see your stories are forever green. Which is a huge asset. If you build it they will come. and not all scifi ages well, but i think yours will.
As for the new obelisk i would lean toward some sort of biological nanotech use. which is a plausible long term possibility i think. Love your thumb nail too it is a perfect macabre depiction.
Good story and narration. Who knows maybe we will see the misfit series on the big screen as a space opera trilogy.
Thanks, David! Stranger things have happened 😆
It would be a hit. series too, and your narration is as good as any narrator or any voice actor
Except maybe Sonny Burton aka Bloody Bookmarker. he is new but I'm so impressed with his version of the" Red Rising " series( though he may have quit on the third book which would be tragic he is great) . .... but i digress as I'm wont to do. ..
You could narrate or maybe play Juice he might be easiest to play, as he seems fairly sedate and laid back., or any of the Primes. or maybe a series of minor supporting roles or all of the above. I'm not saying you couldn't play anyone you want , just saying until you get your feet wet. That said, how would you cast yourself and all the main characters in the "Misfits." Or any other stories .
p.s. how about some Primes back stories?!
Ha, if I were a casting agent, the answer would definitely be: None of the above, Rowe. Go home and stick to writing! At best, you have a basement podcast voice and a face for radio 🤣 And, truly, I'd agree. Acting live in front of people would be at least in the bottom ten-percent of jobs I would ever want to do. That said, Clem Aballi is a no-brainer for voice acting just because it's my native accent and so many people who try it butcher it. It's not in the Rs but the vowels.
Please Rowe don't sell yourself short. Your emotional tone is wonderful, i feel your characters. Voice for voice sake is a tertiary concern at best. You don't have to be great looking to act either. Is Meryl Streep pretty? Al Pacino handsome? Not really. Acting is all about emotional tone too and you ARE good at it. That said pretty man Brad Pitt might make a good Transom.
P.S.. that may date me Brad Pit was born in 63 - same as me. I am OLD . geez who are the young action star types today? I don't have a clue. about young actors.
It's what Thursdays are for. Roll on next week.
Thanks, Chaz! Already getting ready!
As always, you left me wanting more .
Thanks, David! Good thing, too. More next week!
Your stories, and narration, are top notch.
Thanks, David!
Great story. I just wish it was longer.
Thanks, Noah! Glad you enjoyed it 😃 I doubt this is the last we see of the Murkist 😉
Excellent! Glad to hear.@@RoweLit
Fabulous twist! I love how you can take a fan request and weave it seemlessly into a chapter of the Misfits. Well done 👏 🤗
Thanks, Tara! Somebody had to pick up that loose end. The Murkist was the right tool for the job 😉
@@RoweLit 💯
I love this universe you've created!
Brilliant! Thank you. Rewatching again right now.
Thanks, SWOOP1R! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
He is definitely not going to want to see me.
Flip figure/ ground
Perfect answer.
It is lines like this that you don't run into everyday.
Thanks, Martin!
Wow! Ok so our assassin next has a quiet word with the doc during a shopping expedition with metal-face - great tie ins and explanations! And excellent image from the POV of the “interviewee” too. It’s the first time I’ve appreciated that an assassin could have an emotional attachment to not only their job and where they do it, but the ramifications of it too. Just excellent Mr. Rowe!!!
Cheers, Richard! More tie-ins coming in the next few weeks perhaps 🤔😃
Thank You! Put on my airpods, blocked the noise, went for a jog diving into another wonderful story :) Thank You!
Cheers, Saulius! Sounds like a fun run! Unless the Murkist is chasing you 😮😂
Absolutely incredible Mr Rowe. You're wrightings are always a highlight of my day.
Thanks, Pat! Glad you enjoyed 😃
You almost tricked me into thinking we had a Misfits story on our hands!
I love the occasional outside POV on Transom, always goes to show how much of a badass he is.
Ha! Thanks, MJ. It is sort of a Misfits side adventure. Watch out for that rock hopper too 😃
@@RoweLitHalf man, half metal, half badass!
Great story! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thanks, MediaBot! Glad to hear it 😃
I'm always skeptical of the more hardboiled varieties.... but sometimes they simply deliver. Well done.
🙏😃 That's why you call them to take care of your most stubborn problems 😉 Just don't go poking around on Gamma-315-2D 😂
Great story. Hoping the big man and the Rex’s reappear in later stories
Thanks, Leon! Glad you enjoyed. We'll see if we see them again 🤔 Some opportunities are too good to pass up!
That was rather disturbing. And darkly compelling. I'm looking forward to the next misfits story, I cannot begin to guess where this narrative will take me, but it is an amazing journey. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Andrew! I'm enjoying it as well. 🚀
Thank you very much.
Cheers, Lady Ponfarr 🙏😃
Great story. That's a clever way for such an operator to....uh.... Operate.
Thanks, GreyGhost 😃 Careful where you park your spaceship!
Great job on the voice acting. I am loving your progression over the course of the channel. I like the new character and look forward to seeing him in future stories.
Thanks, SC 🙏😃 It's an evolution, for sure. But I listened to a story from a year ago yesterday, and I can really hear the difference. We'll see if he pokes his big head again 😂 hopefully not for business with any of our friends 😮
Fantastic. Well done Rowe. Another satisfying Thursday.
Thanks, Dave! 🙏
very good. well done. I'm guessing the assassin evolves. very fun.
Cheers, Ligurian! Don't tell an assassin he needs evolving, though. He might take it the wrong way 😂
Another winner!
Thanks, Ron!
Love the synergy. Thank you Sir.
Cheers, Gibbon! More to come 🚀
You never fail to amaze me! Thank you!
Thanks, Todd! 😃
Grizzly dude. Plot thickener...
Thanks, P
Cheers, Karl 🙏😃 The plot always thickens 😂
G,day, well done to you again my Friend!
Thanks, Daphne! Glad you enjoyed 🙏😃
Mark CEN CA you know what I'm about of course loved this story and if you just wrote storys like this i would be heaven 😅
Thanks, Mark! I knew the big guy would grow on you 😂
@@RoweLitMark CEN CA I'm no fan of the big guy he is just a obstacle to be overcame 😁
Fantastic mate, absolutely well done.
I’ve waited like 4wks since I suggested this idea and for you to build this out of it AND for it tie in with The Misfits, Mr Rowe you have outdone yourself!
Sincerely an absolute fantastic character, I’m sure Murkist will be someone else you visit now and again.
Well done bud, you nailed this one. 👍
Best from Scotland matey..
Cheers, mate! I figured you'd enjoy 😃 Curious little questions like, who the heck was shooting at Carolina beg to be answered 🤔 I doubt we'll ever here from him again, though--he's no fun 😉😂
And, genuinely, thanks for the suggestion! Awesome topic 🙏🚀
Excellent, Thank You
Thanks, Charles!
Great work PE
🙏😃
So the big guys keeping a low profile right how can someone is ugly as him and his big as him keep a low profile😮
I’m currently reading The Misfits paperback and just finished the story Target. I totally forgot about that opening scene when listening to this story, such a fortuitous little coincidence.
Thanks, MJ! BTW, just recorded the Mouse craft talk. So Rings of Floriston is next in the queue. 🥰 😃
A little dark for my taste, but interesting plot twist - I wonder how it will fit in to the overall story line! You keep us in suspense.
Ha! Thanks, Gramma. Yes, a little dark for sure, but when the poll says Deep Space Assassin, I am left with no choice but to assume people wanted a deep space assassin 😂 Now about those tiny obelisks ... 🤔
Thank you very much. I heard Wilson Fisk.
Thanks, MH! Interesting. Which one, Murkist or Mirsong Rex?
Thanks for sharing your work!
Happy to, David! Thanks for commenting 🙏
You've a twisted mind sir. Lol.
Great tale link with The Misfits.
AI and the QBit.
I'm sure a man with such an imagination as you possess could get your head around those two technologies and come up with a few twists from a pair of technologies that are well twisted.
Great story bro.
Thanks, CPD! I think one has to be a little twisted to write so many stories and put them all on RUclips 😃 A QBit story could be an interesting topic for the poll? It may be a little while before I get another one up, but I could put it on the list.
amazing .so engrossing. too short. Luckily your overall plot is like a tangled web and well see more of these characters. i hope. its like the star wars stories -side stories are everywhere . and they are amazing. You are amazing. .
Thanks, MrIzzy 🙏😃 Yup more is on the way. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing than ... hey, wait 😮
Not a lot I'd rather be doing than listening to a PE Rowe story. I am disappointed in the world for a hundred reasons, but not your story telling. it is great .

Thanks, MrIzzy! 🙏
That thumb took a little bit of doing. I'm glad to hear it caught the eye 😃
The big guys a prolific killer he has a a skeleton collection
I would love the chance to talk to you about animating some of your stories.
Thanks, Robert! I'd say your people should call my people, but I don't really have any people 😂 If you're serious, though, please get in touch through the contact form on my website.

Reminds me of Sicily 😅.
Mark CEN CA good wed to you sir
Thanks, Mark! You too 😃 Editing Misfits audio all day 🚀🌞
@@RoweLit Mark CEN CA PE I may worn and weathered but just like you I'm still bove ground 🤣😀😀😀😀
Yikes!!❤❤❤
😮🙏
The big guy Stone Cold killer
😮
Your imagination worries me sometimes. 😮
Ha! Thanks, Susan. Try living with it 😂 Seriously, though, I am, first and foremost, a fiction writer.
👍👍👍👍l😮😊 heavy metal coleones in space plus collateral🎉? interstellar intrug😢🕊️✨ Cruise Fix🤔
Cheers, G! No emoji for interstellar coleones yet ☹ Plenty for good times though: 🌌🤠
🥶👍👍🙏💜⚡
😃🙏😃🙏
A story about capitalism?
It's the principle of the thing.
Thanks, Martin! My job stops at writing and reading, dear reader 😃 The interpretations I leave to you 🙏
Ludlow Massacre
'That's why I don't like you thinking'.
Funny but also serious at a deeper level
The " Obey" poster.
On a grammatical note, check out the difference between that statement and "I don't like your thinking'. One little letter.
One is funny; one is not.
And the cops vs the protesters. "Clear the area". Yes boss.
Bouncers.
Mark CEN CA the big guy is just as bad as transom or worst
for the purposes of feedback I'll comment I didn't enjoy this one don't enjoy the sort of violent fiction at all I know I enjoyed next weeks because I've already heard it I'll check last weeks and make my decision is to remain subscribed
Hi, Verne! Thanks for the feedback. Violence of this type is neither my favorite to write or consume, so I don't do a lot of it, and frankly I wouldn't have written this story if it hadn't won the poll. In other stories where violence creeps up, I've done a disclaimer, but I thought the title and thumbnail was sufficient to indicate the type of story it was going to be so people who wanted to avoid it could. In the future, I'll try to be more explicit in the rare cases where violence becomes a part of the story. My favorite stories to produce are the uplifting ones. Thanks for listening!
Not in the mood to listen to torture.
Thanks, JoBeth 🙏😃 This week's story is definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
Not everyone in the galaxy is a nice guy..
