    Would you be interested in a scribblehub for visual novels?

    In the 90s I tried to write one (using a cheap photoshop knock-off and MetaCreation's Poser software). I think I finished a single page in two months of trying... Tapas pretty much started out as something like this and grew to include traditional fiction, so that should tell you something.

    SH and censorship

    Personally, I prefer to write and read "adult" material (with some sexual situations but little or no explicit scenes) myself. Well, it seems to work that way in real life (at least back in high school and college...) WHAT US ban? I know two or three STATES have removed "adult" content from...

    Do you understand the mavity of this statement?

    Resolved My Story not appearing on the search

    I didn't go by tags but by keywords. Strange turns up seven titles. Awakening nine. Strange Awakening only one - mine, which is not on either sub-list. There is something a bit off with the search engine, I fear. Even stranger - search for Diamond turns up seven titles - both of mine (Blood...

    How I See Five-Man Bands

    Hmm. Jack Diamond usually has a partner - and does about 75% of the heavy lifting himself. Sparrow can run with zero to five partners in her team, depending on the needs of the story at the moment (and because I've found five side characters is the most I can follow effectively). Since they...

    What do you think about writing not to be popular but to be remembered (eternal)?

    If I am to be remembered, I would prefer it to be for helping heal a wound rather than making it scream across all of time and space, personally.

    Another self-promoting wannabe panhandling for fame...

    That was the late sixties to early seventies version of Hal Jordan, back when he was willing to be a little goofy, before he became the Conservative counterpoint to the Liberal Green Arrow in some award-winning stories in the late 70s.

    What do you think about writing not to be popular but to be remembered (eternal)?

    Never heard that about Hunger Games (and only heard Battle Royale had one movie, not two - have even heard a few scenes from it but never saw it... though from what I did hear, it was kind of a future version of Game of Death, a fun little Bruce Lee movie)

    What do you think about writing not to be popular but to be remembered (eternal)?

    Maybe since 2000 but before that a lot of people read them because they were different, or because "everyone else was." My dad wore out a set of the paperbacks reading them, and my earliest memories include "clips" of him reading those books to mom while I was a baby (he started with The Hobbit...

    Since it's August...

    Pretty sure I read that one a long time ago. If not, I've read most of the stories in it in other collections (though I've also read every Craig Shaw Garnder book I could find except his novelization of the Catwoman movie).

    Since it's August...

    It was made into a movie... I think I did read one of his collections, a long time ago, but just vaguely remember the title and not much else: The Misadventures of Athelstan Digby

    Done killing myself for my story (for now)

    You're a WRITER. Of course there's something - probably several somethings - wrong with you!

    Never heard of the story or the author before. Interesting.

    Writing The Art of Silence

    Hard to use in prose. One of the most effective uses of silence on television that I've seen was at the end of the final episode of the "Earthshock" serial of Doctor Who. Instead of having some big speech or sad music, it just goes straight to the utterly silent credits. Made the scene far...

    What do you think about writing not to be popular but to be remembered (eternal)?

    It would be nice but I won't KNOW if I do, since I'm not immortal, so it doesn't really matter. As long as I can entertain a few souls (including myself) it's all good, no matter how long that entertainment lasts.

    Done killing myself for my story (for now)

    Only 2000? That's what I'm at the point of needing to do. I usually do about 1100 The late James M. Ward had a system: In the morning, he would re-read what he wrote the day before, making any corrections. If he took the day off (which he did for one day every weekend, any time he had to do...
