[@QuinnsIdeas]

Please consider backing my new Graphic Novel today on Indiegogo!: www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-lie-behind-the-star-graphic-novel/x/22779913#/ :)

[@WickedGoodBooks]

RUNNING to back!

[@supsup335]

Question, if i pledge to paperback, do guys ship outside the us?

[@QuinnsIdeas]

@@supsup335 Yes!

[@isirlasplace91]

OH MY GOSH!!! So excited!!!🏃🏻‍♀️💨

[@KodibearIndigo]

Your book sounds awesome, Quinn... I NEED IT!!!

[@ryang.5094]

100% backing up this project with whatever funds I can gather. I’m also a writer. Excellent project idea, perfect art and an engaging plot with intimate insights from your own mind and thoughts. I’m genuinely excited for this project!

[@brianstanton2721]

I agree, Quinn is one of the GOATs for sure! Glad he's developed a fan base that obviously agrees with that assessment!

[@ryang.5094]

How was your experience with the publishing process? I’ve had about five horrible experiences with different publishers , so I’m asking you because this was a success, and is a success I have been sitting on a concept for about a year now and would love to launch it. Any information or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and congrats again on this project.

[@honkykong3047]

Im 38 with moderate dyslexia. Youve been reading to me for years. This is going to be the first book ive ever bought or read. Thank you.

[@hibbidyjibbidyy]

hmm, i just got into audio books, mostly for books i have already read. i just got the prince of nothing, by bakker, the voice actor is on point

[@DanteYewToob]

I’d highly recommend comics for dyslexia. My sister is extremely dyslexic and tried reading regular books for a long time but always got stressed and irritated. There was a book series she liked though and I had the graphic novel version and she borrowed it and discovered it helped a lot. According to her, a well designed comic helps her dyslexia because the panels flow and you only have to get through one word bubble at a time with breaks in between. The comic essentially guides your eye naturally where to go next and and comics are made with clarity, ease of reading and speed in mind so everything is very clear, the fonts are bigger, and most of what is normally a bunch of written details is just art. The only bits you actually have to read are the narration, speech and occasionally effects like “BOOM” or whatever. Give it a try, I hope it helps. My sister is also in her late 30s and she really enjoys reading comics now. Also, not all comics are the same.. if you try one and the layout is bad or something, just try a different comic because quality of layout and page design is a skill and some comics are really incredible at it. Lots of books also have graphic novel versions, like I have Enders Game, Artemis Fowl and a handful of others like that. I’m sure you can find something that works for you. Good luck!

[@geminifiresnake77]

I agree totally with your statement "Science fiction is the most powerful of genres; it shows us what we could possibly be."

[@jenpowell5504]

Thanks Quinn. The book looks beautiful! Congratulations and thanks for all your wonderful work over the years. Long time listener and really appreciate what you do.

[@CorderralLewis]

Can i just say i love the Quinn's Ideas soundtrack? Despite how videos are often horror related, the "theme song" is comforting

[@readyforclarity]

DUDE! Way to go, this is awesome. I've enjoyed your videos for so long, and this one was hitting especially good. Then when you said "BOOM it's my book baby" I was so freaking excited for you. It sounds like a really good story, and I quite enjoyed your introduction to it. I grew up in a very religious and strict home, and I too am fascinated by the intersections of philosophy, religion, worldbuilding within literature and humanity. Cheers! Hannah

[@saucemandela]

This has easily become my favorite youtube channel! Your ultimate dune saga was my introduction, and since then it has been nothing but amazing content. The amazing stories you present, the mesmerizing scripts, and your calm voice are deserving of praise that’s out of this world. Another outstanding video Quinn!

[@oskarngo9138]

Sci fi has brain-washed Naive people in believing in Aliens; Space Conquest; etc.... In reality; advanced life is few and far in between...and totally dependent on its planets biome.. Space-life and travel is impossible...

[@weldor918]

Thanks!

[@owari3766]

Have you considered releasing an audiobook version? Myself and I’m sure lots of your listeners would love to hear your story in full ❤

[@jasperl.1721]

There is one.

[@bobbobby475]

In the video he says that he is voicing the audio version

[@JungleMythTree]

Been going through some really difficult times for a few years now, but especially recently. But no matter what happens, through everything, you and your amazing work bring me some of the only relief from my own mind sometimes, and it's probably one of the few reasons i'm still here, seeing that a new video is up and feeling like i can escape, even just for a minute. Thank you so much for all of it

[@LazzarrusLong]

05:51 I can relate, having grown up in the south myself.

[@michaelmurray2728]

Got it! Can't wait to see it! Even if I don't love it, the $ is worth it for all of the great entertainment you've given me over the past couple years. I love your obvious enthusiasm for the genres you cover. Best of luck to you Quinn!

[@michaelmurray2728]

The only downside is the projected release date, but I totally get how these things work. It's kind of awesome, though. By the time it's released, I'll have 1/2 forgotten about it, so it will be an amazing surprise present to myself. 😁

[@onepunch-n7t]

Id love to buy your book! Can't wait for it to come out!

[@Erik-ri3gz]

Splurged on a signed copy. You’ve given me so many good book recommendations, I owe you. Thanks, Quinn.

[@LuxionPL]

I love how the video starter like any other, got myself fully into your narration only for you to suddenly tell that's yours novel. wow, congrats!

[@Gubbug]

Quinn I am so happy to see that you are releasing another wonderful piece of work! The visuals and the story are all so tantalising! I wish I was able to spare some money to support this! Still, I hope you are very proud of yourself and the same to the rest of your team!

[@bigbadwolfstudios1]

This sounds soooo good. I love horrifying philosophical science. I've watched your channel since back when it was Ideas Of Ice and Fire. I remember seeing a channel called Quinn's ideas talking about science fiction and had no idea when I'd subscribed to it...took me a solid two videos before I realized the name change😅 either way, I love your content and this has me incredibly excited to see where the story goes

[@false_guru]

The darkest secret of the universe is that Victoria doesn’t have one.

[@БранимирНиколов-ж7ф]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT DUDE! WHAT THE FUCK!?

[@elricofmelnibone425]

I spit out my coffee, thanks!

[@CAPSLOCKPUNDIT]

Now you know too much. Remain where you are. Victoria's Secret Police have been dispatched to your location.

[@matthew2531]

She's an old man living in Ohio making money off of girls like me.

[@Fabdanc]

I love the internet.

[@BlackMoonHowls]

This sounds so cool, congrats Quinn. Had I had money I'd buy myself a copy. Also, I'd support the Audio Drama of your graphic novel as well. Love me some great voice acting and atmospheric story telling.

[@lsjocto]

I would definitely buy the audio version

[@badscrew4023]

Oh, Tadya was yours!!! I've read it! Didn't realize you're the same author :)

[@jaybain4337]

Wow I’m excited to have caught your video on the morning of its release! Thanks for sharing Quinn, and *Congratulations*!!!

[@humanity600]

Did not expect this to be yours. This sounded amazing. 😳🔥🔥🔥

[@pierrechildress8875]

I love the concept that the psychedic effects of mushrooms are a byproduct of communication between a cosmic alien intelligence and humanity. Fantastic concept brother and thanks for all you do for sci-fi fans w this channel. Incidentally, I tried buying your graphic novel, and my credit card didn't go through. I checked to make sure the info was correct, but still no go. Just letting you know there may be an issue there.

[@XecuttioneR]

Same, says my card couldn’t be recognized

[@dylanhaynes9995]

I am a huge comic and gn collector i am getting a deluxe hard cover for sure. And i cant wait to read along with quinn’s audio. That’ll be so awesome. Amazing job man.

[@MuantanamoMobile]

Yes!!! Thank you Quinn for ALL you do, your work brings immense joy...not just to me, but every single person I share it with.

[@griffinfrysinger]

this looks so amazing, from the story idea to the art to the biological aesthetic. i am absolutely getting this when my next paycheck gets here

[@Chris-es3wf]

This is really awesome, Quinn and Team. Looks incredible and will definitely be checking this out.

[@mokasaam1819]

Just wanna say Quin, you have come along way and I hope your novels sale like hot cakes. GODSPEED AND GODBLESS!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Dr.Gainzzz]

Okay two QuinnsIdeas videos in two days in a row? Yeah I could get used to this. I’ve said it once I’ll say it again man you easily put out some of the best content on KZbin. You Reignited my passion and love for sci fi books. I know it’s considered a waste of time by many academics to read science fiction but it’s my favorite genre. No other books get my mind racing and ideas flowing like a good science fiction book.

[@techticianlarsproductions6180]

I kept going "I know that name, why?" And then as soon as you said it was your book I got really excited. I'm definitely grabbing a copy when I get the chance.

[@nobbynoris]

Hey man, good luck with the book. It was through your videos I discovered Cixin Liu and since then I've got at least one other friend onto them, so the word is spreading.

[@xxPARAMOREFANMANxx]

The concept sounds amazing my man when you were describing it at the beginning I had no idea this wasn’t an old sci fi book I’d never heard of, I’m definitely going to pick up a copy

[@petrey5]

Backed! So excited for this project. You are a great reader, thinker, critic, and now a great author. Your vision is important and I appreciate you!

[@nc1901]

Quinn. Never stop making videos man. The way you must narrate and talk about shit and nerd out is just refreshing. And your voice is like butter dude. Also holy shit i didnt realize your story has similarities to one i kinda have running around in my head. Definitely has a fungi theme along with some space horror and other shit. I love it! Now i need to give this a read. Mushrooms are the best (;

[@SaphoSheep]

I literally squealed with excitement when you revealed that you wrote this! This sci-fi concept is so cool!

[@winningjubbly9712]

I owe quite a lot to your channel, Quinn. Over the last 5 or 6 years I've had a number of traumatic experiences that robbed me of one of my life's pleasures -- reading a good book. Try as I might, whenever I've tried sitting down to have a good read I've felt like I'd lost my reading mojo -- "I've lost me mojo!" This upset me significantly. I've kept buying books at a prodigious rate, and since I discovered your channel, watching your videos has helped keep enough interest in reading that I've began regaining my reading mojo once more. Some of the books I've bought due to your channel are Peter Watts' Firefall, the Three-body Problem series and Off Armageddon Reef by David Weber. That means more to me than you could know. Thank's, Quinn, you're a star! Keep up the excellent work!

[@jb400years4]

Intro hitting hard as ever

[@peterxyz3541]

This channel ❤️❤️❤️. Love the videos on dark, pessimistic speculative stories.

[@JoelDanowitz]

Signed copy purchased! Love what you do here!

[@zalseon4746]

That's pretty cool seeing you get into making your own stuff, and the art in both is astounding. If you want someone for more energetic techno for some portions if you go forwards with the audio-drama, Mothership Loudspeakerz makes awesome tunes.

[@Saintious]

The only truth of the universe is that Quinn was born to summarize and read science fiction to the masses with his distinguished voice and stellar delivery.

[@jasonjudson]

Awesome, Quinn! Congratulations on the new novel! Cheers! Love your chanel! Thanks for the always excelent videos!

[@OllamhDrab]

Yay! Been waiting for this. :)

[@rosannamatraviyalv]

I remember watching u a really long time ago, then lost track of ur channel for quite some while and re-discovered it back in 2020! When I heard the intro music.. it seemed like a missing part from my early yt years had finally had finally found its way home. Thank God for your channel.. its so interesting and intriguing af. Knowledge and fiction combo at its best

[@ryans3001]

Great video as always, Quinn!

[@peterb9038]

I hope you find great success with your Graphic Novel. I like the premise of the mycorrhizal network and access to it, as well as the bio machines which removes the need for advance tech to be introduced for the story. Also do you know that the structure of the universe and galactic clusters with their networks of filaments of plasma and dark matter are studied by the analogue of growing mycorrhizal networks in the lab? This makes a nice connection to actual science study going on today.

[@shayanlostflash]

"If i pretiet your content" Quinn you the only youtuber i actually watch your videos without wasting time ❤ Unless three body problem because didnt read the final book yet 😂

[@lesSylvains]

Quinn, I hold you directly responsible for awakening my inner (sci-fi) kid through your videos. I never collected shit like figurines or star trek stuff. But since this week, as a full grown adult, I get to drive my car around with my custom, oh-so-geeky "3BODY" license plate, registered legally in Quebec! Your mushrooms messed me up hahaha! Might as well buy your new novel and deep dive in the quasar! The world building and the artwork all look amazing. Congratulations

[@vircervoteksisto5038]

The concept alone is intriguing enough that I want to hear more. Can't wait to hear the audio drama because I already believe this will hit its stretch goal.

[@johnsmith8562]

I get paid this Friday and will be backing up this project. Thank you for everything man

[@GlobTheDabGlob]

Hell yeah. Had fun with your last book and I’m sure this one’s gonna be great too! Keep up the hustle Quinn.

[@PeculiarNotions]

This project sounds pretty interesting, and I'm totally on board with your analysis of Octavia Butler. She was a real luminary.

[@JohnPaulBenini]

congratulations. i adore you for creating this and wish you and your team luck with the lie behind the star. long time fan of the channel and if even a fraction of the same care and passion is poured into the project, then we are all in for something special.

[@mehyubu]

When I get paid, I'll definitely fund. I love science fiction and comics and this looks amazing

[@r0kus]

Extremely interesting. Heading to Indiegogo.

[@agoodun11]

Wow. Really excited for u and this project. I will be backing later today. Happy for u and cant wait 👍👍👍😀😀

[@JohnBrown-lk9ml]

I'm in!!! I've always had this sort of existential fear of the vastness and age of the universe, how there is possibly SO MUCH out there that we cannot even begin to fathom as human beings. You put all of those feelings I have to words so well! I cant wait to read this one!

[@Jayscoble]

Quinn! Keep doing this! I'm definitely going to be getting the paperback work! You are one of my favorite content creators!

[@RiderOfKarma]

Ebook ordered! GL with the campaign, it looks awesome so far.

[@kariduanimations]

This looks amazing!! The storyline is very compelling. I definitely want to buy one

[@RyanDunn-we9yx]

Sounds awesome. Can’t wait to get a hand on it. Your dune videos have been my life blood for a while now. So happy for you man.

[@flexygoo1295]

Just saw it on your site! Congratulations my dude

[@PyroManiac944]

Super excited. I just ordered!

[@theirnameiscole]

Ahhh this is so exciting, the synopsis captivated me! Thank you Quinn, absolutely will contribute to your Indiegogo 🙏 I have you to thank for my intro to Dune, I never would’ve read or understood the series without you ❤

[@microfino]

I have been 'shadow watching' your excellent video for a couple of years now... and never felt compelled to write a note- until now.... This story snippet is so damn intriguing I just HAD to write something. This is the best story hook I have heard yet on your channel- and that is saying a LOT... consider me a supporter!

[@ToshMatsum]

Good luck, Quinn! I wish you success! I'll try my best to get a copy. :)

[@BlazzingZealot]

Will be getting one for sure, said it before but your voice is so amazing makes it so fitting for the genre.

[@christiankernstock5411]

The best science fiction channel I know of. Hope this and all your future works come to great success!

[@nathanseverson2636]

You provide such a cool perspective on all the best things. Thanks for making the world a better place!

[@CCowleyMedia]

Congrats again on the launch. On another note, so nice to get so much content lately. Thanks for putting in the work!

[@loszhor]

Congratz on the new book! Those shrooms are one gnarly trip!

[@charliebrown3579]

Wow Quinn that's fantastic the story has alot of interconnected aspects that can/will create possible outcomes to what I just found out is your book. Wish you the best to your labour,team,and for financial fortune. Perhaps when I can I will pick up a copy and offer my support.

[@adamnhobbs5545]

This looks really great and if it is in the same vibe has your brilliant KZbin channel should be an excellent read.

[@Rudi1984]

Amazing work! The way you organize and present it! keep doing it!

[@heinricho]

6:25 that is Sci-fi's greatest strength! Getting you to think of an issue in a different way so you put your biases aside. the OT Star Trek did this so well!

[@lucky_luck5411]

Thank you for this channel man!! you got me into sci-fi books 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@jordonleigh174]

This book looks AMAZING, Quinn!! I very much look forward to getting this!!

[@TheCaptnHammer]

Backed it and can’t wait for my copy. Thanks for the countless hours of superb content. I salute you good sir!

[@rustymuckybottoms]

Oh shish!!! Gotta get this fast!!! Digging the podcast too!!! Thanks for all the great content!

[@blixx66]

The story is very intriguing, and the manner of this video’s end was excellent. Backed!

[@stonefish1318]

4:36 best plot twist ever 😂👍🏼 must have been a great feeling to do this video about your own creations!

[@teviston7288]

Dude, this is exactly the kind of book i like, i was just waiting for the authors name. You got me, im pledging for a physical copy.

[@markjmacrae]

You are a marketing genius, I am absolutely intrigued by this story and can't wait to read more! Congratulations on publication of what sounds like a fascinating book

[@jamesparr2050]

Love the channel have to add more books to read lol but have you read The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross? A fun cyberpunk/horror lovecraftian novel. It's a great series you should check out

[@Scorpiosguitar]

You're great, and I'm sure your work will be too! Looking forward to purchasing physical copies and HOPEFULLY an audio drama!

[@SalariaStudios]

Not going to lie Quinn you may just be my new favorite Sci-fi author you got the gift

[@tarazzzs]

It looks so cool, I hope the Indigogo will work well for the project.

[@Theorphan81]

Definitely getting this. Love your channel Quinn!

[@NickyThepiz]

Beautiful. I've been watching/listening for a few months now. You really do have excellent taste. The way you appreciate certain things, is very much like my own taste in philosophical stories, like dune. I haven't seen part two yet, I wonder if, Paul Atraedes will be painted as a protagonist like in David lynch's version. Which while inaccurate in many ways, I do very much like the way he portrayed the harkonnen. The barons diseases, cared for by a doctor. The heart plugs. I think Dennis villenues adaptation has a much less sophisticated take on the harkonnen they're supposed to all be redheads, not skinheads!

[@jacobneil135]

You are so cool Quinn! I have been subscribed for a long time and it's been awesome to see your channel grow. Keep doing awesome work.

[@botiszekerczes8646]

It's amazing!!! What is the music's name on the end of the video?

[@jollyredgiant203]

This looks dope. Going on my Xmas list

[@xMJOBxFISHx]

You're awesome Quinn, I really hope you're successful with this book.

[@chaust_]

i’m guessing the audiobook/script version also obv includes the graphics right? and if the audio drama does happen it will be apart of it?

[@leafittobeavis321]

Another great production. You have a very lovely reading voice and tone. Always so fun to learn about these amazing reads I might've otherwise missed. Keep up the awesome work 👍🏻 Also, the theme song is a pleasant little tune

[@Waishwhw72i19sjx7]

Hello Quinn! Can you please please tell me where you got your bookshelves that I saw in your Halloween creepy/spooky episode? Thanks in advance!

[@as242006]

This story sounds amazing!

[@dimentoplexitronum4923]

Nice stealth ad haha. The video genuinely does make me interested to read it though so good job
