If you're a fan of my music and a fan of literary fiction from authors like Ayn Rand and Victor Hugo, this new Google group may be of interest to you. The group is called Fiction Writers for Romanticism. The premise behind it is to form a group of writers to write fiction that appeals to that rational and passionate sense-of-life shared by so many who are Objectivists. Although I don't write fiction myself, I'll be keeping close tabs on this group as I may start a similar one for composers and musicians. Here's an excerpt from the blurb on the group's main page:

Welcome to Fiction Writers for Romanticism, where Objectivists and students of Objectivism, who also seek to write fiction (and are probably already working on something), can chat.

Beginning writers and amateurs and professionals are all welcome.

I created this group because I think that one of the ways to create a more rational culture is to encourage the creation of works of art that reward the rational elements in people -- works that ultimately create a feeling that rationality ultimately works and will lead to joy. Just like in real life.
