Anders is here with a couple of stories and artwork, and also listed
in the inspiration part too (yay!)

http://www.orionsarm.com/stories/Angel_of_Doubt.html
http://www.orionsarm.com/stories/The_Passenger.html
http://www.orionsarm.com/gallery/Imhotep.html
http://www.orionsarm.com/gallery/emergence.html

Most of that gorgeous artwork is done by Juan Ochoa.

I'm very impressed, and completely delighted about this discovery.
I'm not a gamer, but something like this could almost convince me
to try. Here are people building what they want, putting their
ideas and inspirations into the mix. Even topics like politics
and religion are handled in a nonaggressive and nonconfrontive
way. I love it.

Take a look here:

About the authors (you will recognize others you know here too)

And who inspired them

I strongly encourage people here to take a look.
