@Daeus— the ghostwriter greets you.

@Ezra— me? N….nooooo… that’s not me. I seem to be the only writer here who was never an OYANer and doesn’t drink coffee. 😛

@Joy— how about you, Joy? Do you drink coffee?

Welcome to KP, David! Join the crazies.

Historical fiction, sci-fi, western, humor… and dipping my toes into an obscure genre of fantasy. So yeah. I’ll borrow your phrase that I’m a fiction writer. Good answer. ;P

*counts on fingers* Looks like we started writing around the same time…
Welcome, Joy! *waves*

Welcome aboard, David! (*looks at my picture* that was oddly appropriate…)
Hope you enjoy it here!
So, what have you written? Book-wise, short-story-wise, poem-wise… what sort of writer are you?

Cobalt Girl. I wasn’t around a lot. I’m a friend of silverstorm’s, so I only dropped in to say hi to her, put up a few critiques and ask Josie to do my cover.

Gross understatements in conversations actually help the humor a lot. Or just observe the humor you like and imitate it. A good representation of my method of humor in dialog is my story on here “The Day Santa Wore Carhartts”. Mostly between Grant and Rob.
It’s also best to make your characters clash in funny ways. I have my characters Cobalt (the…[Read more]

Ooh… what a deep question. Humor is not my strongest point, but I flatter myself I can do it well enough, so I’ll share some tips. Maybe…
Okay, first tip: inside jokes. Often these are driven home by a look or a secret smile or some subtextual passing of information between two characters.
As a quick example, say one of your characters once…[Read more]

Greetings, O Shadow Hawke. Join us. Our joy is immeasurable. We are immensely gratified that such a one as thou hast seen fit to count thyself amongst us… one of us… in madness and the joy of madness mingled together with laughter, that our fellowship may be the fellowship of all things mad and beautiful.

That… was totally weird. I did not…[Read more]

Now why didn’t I think of that?

Another thing to add to this discussion… if you can call it a discussion without any opponents… is that a long conversation, realistically, will wander from one subject to another. Not that it will be rambling, but that one topic will bring up another point that needs discussing, and the conversers (not a word, but who cares) will take…[Read more]

A gentleman by the name of Mark McGuire. He identifies as a platypus. He’ll probably turn up somewhere.

Um…true. That’s true. Yeah. I didn’t think of that. 😛

Hey that’s a good quote, Mark Kamibaya. (Sorry, we have more than one Mark here now) Who said it?
And good point. I like that. That basically sums it up for me.

Whal, ya did a gude job o’ disguising it thar.

Seriously, it fit in seamlessly.

Ah. Thanks anyway. It’s the thought that counts. 😛 Where’d you find the cheat sheet?

Oooh! I love writhe! Actually that probably comes right before citadel on my list. Another good one is snarl— and eon and amorphous and metamorphosis and morph and weepy. Narrow. Strait. Linear. Galactic. Frigid. Squirm. Honor. Humiliation. Anguish. Dizzy. Laughter. Lay (as in poem or song). Riddle. Rune. Glyph. Jagged. Icily. And… are you…[Read more]

Hmm…has anyone seen the Modren BBC Sherlock?
