Take Back the Sci-Fi (and Fantasy). June 5th, 2009. You may have noticed that you can't post topics to this community yet. This is because. And I are concerned about the possibility of trolling. We'll gradually be giving posting access to community members who request it and have proven themselves to not be trolls, but not for the first week or so, so hold those requests, please! And I will be posting topics. You can suggest topics at the rules post. 2009-06-05 12:04 pm (UTC). I was actually interested i...

Seek simplicity, and distrust it. Flash Fiction Online Update: Freivald Clarifies. Still Queer-Unfriendly. Mar 2nd, 2010 at 9:49 AM. The original linkdump on this situation (with background) is here.

Freivald discusses his stance a little further with Rachel Swirsky here. 27 have spoken Speak. Mar 2nd, 2010 04:26 pm (UTC). Do you have a...

A slushy day in NYC. Jan 8th, 2010 at 4:55 PM. I was able to meet Ellen Datlow for a wonderful lunch at my favorite neighborhood restaurant and I was home by 3:30! So this is blogging? Kind of boring, I think, but if people want to read about their friends' haircuts on Twitter, maybe someone wants to read about my drive into New York and my nice lunch! Stay warm and happy, people! 15 comments Leave a comment. Jan 8th, 2010 10:00 pm (UTC). Jan 8th, 2010 10:31 pm (UTC). Jan 8th, 2010 10:40 pm (UTC). I'll h...

Fate loves the fearless. The odds of faith in the face of doubt. An Introduction to Erin. Apr 11th, 2015 at 2:19 PM. If you're here, it's probably because you know me from something writing related like Viable Paradise, Clarion West, Writers of the Future, or sff.net. (Or perhaps it's from general con-going awesomeness or my intermittent long term internet writing/blogging presence. ;). I don't mind the company, I just prefer to keep it behind closed doors ;). Apr 21st, 2007 03:17 am (UTC). Hi Rachel - i...

Susan's Musings: 04/01/2011 - 05/01/2011
http://susama.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
A little bit of everything. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Look, it is yet another article. Expressing great surprise that the ladies like anything other than insipid romantic comedies! First, this quote cracks me up:. Traditionally, networks — especially broadcast networks — have attempted to grab young women viewers with romantic comedies, keeping the mindset that fantasy is for boys and romance is for girls. You can hang out on the Feminist SF board at LibraryThing. You can go to a convention. I have been...

An economy of words. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Doing the Limbo – How low will you go? December 8, 2009. Inspired by John Scalzi’s “ In the Spirit of Pulps, and Paying Even Less. 8220;, there has been a slew. On the topic of pay rates. Backs that up: 52% are non-paying, 16% only pay occasionally, and 6% offer payments up to semi-pro rates (usually a flat rate per story). Two markets do pay professional rates but only accept twitter-length stories. Guest blogging on Jeff VanderMeer.

Orthogonal Thinking

For fun and profit). 03 March 2009 @ 08:33 am. A friend asked if there was any benefit to taking writing classes in college. I thought I might as well post my disorganized thoughts here as well as in the comments to the entry. What do the rest of you think? Fiction is going to assume that it is. It'd be like explaining that the main characters were people instead of bricks.). 11 January 2009 @ 03:19 pm. I'm about at that stage with. Questions, questions. I may just try to finish. Year of the Rabbit.

Den in the Living Room: February 2010
http://dylan-fox.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Den in the Living Room. A little south of sense - writing, rambling, and flights of fancy. Now keeping a blog over at www.dylanfox.net. Still writing, still finding problems with great ideas, and now trying to fix them! View my complete profile. Of Mice and Journeymen. The 14:08 From Liverpool Street. The Ugly Truth About Wimmin. We had to walk up hill both ways, too. A rather nebulous discussion. My idea of Heaven. A Question of Ethics. The best ideas always seem obvious afterwards. Ruth, 43, deliberate...
