When Florida-based science-fiction novelist JC Hutchins finished his first book in 2005, a dark techno-thriller about genetic engineering entitled 7th Son, like many first-time writers he found himself without a literary agent or publishing contract. So, like a growing amount of unpublished writers have been doing in recent years, Hutchins started releasing the book serially on the internet, although in his case through audio format rather than text (known as 'podiobooks' among enthusiasts, because of the chapters being released in a podcast-friendly format).
It was them that made a radical suggestion to Hutchins -- that instead of the usual cocktail-party environment for his release, that they actually build a series of sets that are crucial to the first book, including the original secret government chamber where the main-character clones were first created. And not only that, but to even create special avatar versions of the main characters, ones that fans could put on and wear throughout the party.
