    Sounds like a vore tag to me! I’d like to see someone do that idea. Not the vorey cheeseburger one, but the people turning into their costumes one. Sexy cop/Dracula or something! Or like one of those ‘who would win, swamp thing vs frankenstein’s monster?’ with a sexy twist. 

    Nice.

    Cheeseburgers...drools...

    Well I mean a cheeseburger is a cheeseburger even if it talks. Turns it into straight horror but its technically your fault for dressing as food.

    What power do you get if you’re dressed like a hamburger?

     

  8. Why do you write?

    in Writers' Corner

    Posted

    I write because its fun.

    In a weird sorta way.

    Its like I’m putting symbols together and those symbols enable communication to other minds. Other intelligences with different perspectives and different thoughts.

    Its frightening and exhilarating. These sigils of mine are communing with others that I may never get to met and if I’m lucky will do so long after I’m gone.

    So I guess in a sense. When I write I’m praying.

    I mean hell Grand Inquistion started on here and somehow became a blend of sci-fi and high fantasy with a male couple. The world maybe isn’t ready for such a thing. But ya know what? I’m going to try anyway.

    the easy way to explain what happens, would be that he is contaminated with something that adds to his disposition towards some people, but because of this stuff, it makes him react more to it.

    so he isnt “innocent” in the idea that he felt X ways about things, but the normal him would never have done it, I think would add to the world breaking feelings that happen to him.

    Sounds like he’s being corrupted.

    Bobbing for apples is a favourite autumn pastime in the realm of Bob.  During winter, it's more commonly the bob sled.

    Yes. Truly a test of skill to see which Bob is capable of Bobbing for apples the best. Usually around Boboween. Or All Bob’s eve.Many casualties can result as many Bobs try to out bob one another. Same for Bobmas.

    Santa Bob typically unleashes Krampus Bob on foolish Bobs bobsledding around this time. Survivors get gifts. -Other Bob

    word choice? like what?

    Word choice as in are you disguising things. Are events transpiring openly or is there more going on that what’s readily being presented on the surface. Context can paint a very different picture of whats going on. A single well placed clue can do more than a ton of less subtle hints. How are you disgusing things if things are not as they appear.

    Ex: It seemed as though a trick of light but the ruby seemed to have an inner fire all its own for an instant. (A set up that the ruby isn't normal) 

    Ex: Is it really the ticking of a clock or is it a timer steadily ticking down? What kind of tick is it? Is it a tick tock. or is it a steady tick tick tick… BOOM

    Ex: Molly felt uneasy being locked in this room. The grand father clock’s ominous ticking didn’t seem quite right it was as if the ticking wasn’t perfectly synched.

    The obviousness of the sudden lack of sound brought attention to its sudden absence.

    “Oh shi-” Molly didn’t have time to finish as the room upended in a sudden conflagration. 

    Bringing attention to certain details or lack of details. Etc..

    Writer beware is to warn and advise writers about scams and sharks, from vanity presses and small publishers and agents who have already turned to the dark side.

    Ebook publishing is faster, and you get a larger share of the money the reader throws in for your story. That and self publishing often overlap. BW’s advice for small press is better there. Large house/traditional publishing is more likely to include editing, cover, and publicity, but it’s not a guarantee anymore.

    I simply cannot afford an editor, so I’m up a creek. :(

    thank you for clarification and thank you for information.

    misspelling

    It depends. Is it a mystery story? If so stick to subtle hints. Don’t punish perceptive readers. A smile, movements and character behavior can all lead someone to accurately foretell what will happen long before events catch up.

    For everything else. Word choice.

    That Outline:

    So KYBCLM are out in the snow. All semi naked and shit. There were more of them originally, but giggles cause avalanches. They toss a few snowballs and talk about the innate sexiness of frostbitten labia. Or whatever the point of the specific fetish is. Is that right? A solid six or seven minutes in which their skin begins to take on lovely blue tones. Wind chill’s minus 30 or so. Numbness begins to spread. They stumble inside and get hit with pins and needles as nerve endings start getting blood supply in surrounding tissue. Groans, moans, squeals. The odd detaching extremity. Then, play time.

    Out comes the Trivial Persuit. Kim wins because she’s like the best.

    [/Scene]

    I can tell you are delightfully twisted in all the right places.

    But I think they’re going for more that innocentish teenage exploration of themselves and others.

    Some authors of different genres go over their business trials and tribulations in their blogs. I follow Jim C. Hines, Holly Lisle, and Judith Knight, though if you can at convention panels you will hear more entertaining stories.  If there is a professional organization, find their site and see if they have advice for that genre or a new writer program. I know of RWA (romance writers of America which has many face to face chapters), SFWA science fiction, along with mystery and horror.

    The SFWA operates Writer beware website and blog where they track best practices and the bad actors. It’s co sponsored by the other groups mentioned above and is very educational.

    More people than Writer beware track major events/scandals like the way the erotic publisher Elora’s Cave just stopped paying promptly after sales. (that is the usual thing before a pub goes belly up). This the the blog of one savvy reporter, but just google or bing the company name and problems. Small presses seem to collectively have fairly short lifespans, so do your research and get help to understand the fine print of contracts. (Writer beware has a lot on recommended contracts)

    I’ve self-pubbed some short stories through createspace and kindle, and sold some, but marketing is a bit beyond me. I really need a second eye on the two books I have in trunks that I’d like to send to a publisher. (SF still has a tradition of accepting on solicited novels, unlike other genrea)  Good luck.

    Writer Beware sounds ominous.

    Is there a difference between e-book publishing and regular?
