@livgiordano 😀 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
I love writing, too. What kind of stories do you write?

@jane-maree @seekjustice The Reckoners!
*Stan does a happy flail*
I didn’t even think of those as sci-fi, I always considered those superhero-action (if that’s even a real genre. It’s not.) XD
I love those, books, though. I hope someday Brandon writes one more book with David in it, although I don’t think he’s planning on lengthening that…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm I feel like they are, because they pop up over and over again. They’re a trope, but they aren’t an obnoxious one. You can do so many things to change them up and make them unique, that it becomes interesting again.
But yeah, just straight-up ‘this hero controls fire, this one ice’ is somewhat boring. There’s a seed of epicness…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Sci-fi…. A Wrinkle in Time is great, along with Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis, and The Time Machine by H.G. Wells… also, I can’t forget this one: From the Earth to the Moon, by Jules Verne. Not really a futuristic sci-fi, more like a historical sci-fi, but it is really hilarious, and an amazing story about guns and space…[Read more]

Cookies.
Stan the great, making COOKIES!!!???

@dragon-snapper Exactly. It’s a class aimed at dragons. 🙁 I guess you could say its indraconic, too

Actually, I just had an idea. Maybe I can use my precious free trial of Office and get access to at least cutting and pasting, if not uploading

*Roars and screams like a sugar addicted baby dragon*
Apparently, I can’t do anything to the Sector One word document. Not even cut and paste out of it. Because I haven’t paid for it… so I guess I can retype the story by hand?-
Unless you can type 10,000 words an hour, I’m pretty sure that would be unreasonable.
Let me try to resend it to you…
-
Or, if you open the email I sent you with the doc, click on the thing (not download) there should be a button somewhere that says ‘open in google docs’. Do you see that anywhere?
-
Yep, I opened it that way. And it works. Good thinking 😀
-
@dragon-snapper Yeah, I opened it in Google Docs, and that let me edit it. I haven’t had a ton of time to make comments on it, though. It’s fun to do, though. Shredding, picking apart, and being impressed with another writer’s work is strangely therapeutic 😀 😀 *evil laugh*
When are you looking to have comments in on it?

Okay. I’ll comment on everything I can think of then before I share it with you

Yep, that does. I think I’ll use Google Docs, and then you can convert it how you like after that. Can I use the email that you used to send me the original draft to share the doc with you?
-
Yeah, you could use the doc and then share it with me when you’re done. But as you’re working on it I probably won’t reply to comments. 😉

That wasn’t even Stan’s leather couch! That was our landlord’s! Oh well, Stan had already shredded it anyway

Sam Kowal posted an update 6 years, 10 months ago
@dragon-snapper How can I submit feedback for Sector One? I don’t have Word, so I can’t make any Word comments.
😀 It’s great, by the way, for a general two-word piece of feedback-
All right, so basically, you can work on it any way you want. If you work on it Google docs, that’s fine. If you work on it for something else, that’s fine too. Once I receive it I’m able to convert it into a Word document. I only said that I don’t do google docs because that’s not exactly how I send it to people.
Does that work?-
Yep, that does. I think I’ll use Google Docs, and then you can convert it how you like after that. Can I use the email that you used to send me the original draft to share the doc with you?

😀 Ice cream and frozen yogurt actually don’t affect the fire-breathing, because Stan can’t really breathe fire anyway. Plus, Stan’s fire ducts aren’t in his stomach. If they were, it’d be drinking water that dragons would have to worry about…

@dragon-snapper That new profile pic is so un-intimidating that Stan is laughing at you
I mean, HE could beat that… monkey-dragon thingy.
😀 😀 (smiley faces at the end so that it’s all good)-
What monkey-dragon?

@bell-d 😀 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
Stan is thrilled to have you here 😀 (Stan is my orange dragon pal)
It’s cool that you like historical fiction. I like it, too, but I tend not to write it. I write fantasy, although I love history itself 😀

@jenwriter17 😛 Well, of course it all depends on which one you feel like you have most inspiration and ideas to write. Those are some great ideas, though. 3 and 4 are especially interesting-sounding.
I would go for 3 or 4. The futuristic sci-fi of them sounds like a great setting, and there seems to be a lot of space for tough choices and…[Read more]
