Sci-Fi Tips Part 12

The robot is prevalent throughout sci-fi. Because of its popularity the robot has generally fallen into two character types: the Robot Who Wants To Be Human and the Bumbling Robot. One convention I hate. The other one I tolerate (don’t necessarily love it). Read carefully and decide for yourself whether or not my hate and…[Read more]

@daeus I’m going to sign off now. I wrote a few poems.

@daeus *waggles eyebrows* Indeed.
XD

@daeus Hey…You didn’t tag me. 🙁
I’m here, but you’re lucky I haven’t melted your chair.

@gracie-girl Lo siento. I have to practice guitar. 🙂

Sci-Fi Tips Pat 11

There are way too many authors of science fiction and fantasy who are guilty of Common Noun Overkill. Don’t know what that is?

Sci-Fi Tips Part 10

@mariposa Agreed. At least the children won’t think it’s cheesy 😉

Ummm… with my toes… I think… 😛

@winter-rose I think I’ll sign out now. I wrote a few poems.

@winter-rose That’s the spirit! *glances forlornly at Mordor*

So, how are those taters, Mr. Frodo?
@winter-rose

@winter-rose Aw. We can’t have being lonely on your lonely lonesomely lonesome loneliness!

@winter-rose Here I am!

@daeus Oh, WOW! Thanks for taking the time to help! I’ll have to try this! Awesome!

@Ethryndal *cackle* Indeed that makes me extremely happy. (*excited whisper* She finished the second draft the other night. She’s working on several things for the third before more people get it—but then you can have it! *hugs self* I can’t wait.) *calms flailing down*

@GracieGirl 😀 (Hint: a long time from now. XD But maybe you can read it…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien O_e That’s dedication…
