This is waaaaay off topic, but... By the way I just read your quote, Iris, about Mr. Timberlake and about fell off the couch laughing. Seems like he's long on looks and short on brains. (He, Heee!)"Duh, you mean like a book?" (Snicker) Probably looked at the Winter Formal catalog though...

The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, Robert A. Heinlein

Me too. I thought you were just having another one of those attacks though.

Wow. I'm impressed at that. Most fifteen year olds are mostly interested in things like Winter Formal or at least the local equivalent. IQ aside, they might just not be interested. Trouble is that until you're eighteen you might have some rights issues too. Smart or not you're still a minor...

Although it seems that we are short of posters in this area and some of the ones who are posting aren't getting along too well on the issue of POD and other forms of publishing I think this is a worthy forum. Because of this I have a challenge for you. Search the Internet just breifly and...

Sigh. The thing that Mr. obarz seems to be forgetting is that the Writer's Block is for writers. If a publisher wants to help a writer that posts here they are welcome to do that. The problem is that until POD publishing proves that it can produces good books by good authors he can't help...

Yes. One sequel, Anvil of the Stars. Forge kind of leaves you guessing as to their altruism. The Guests as decoys were a master-stroke of deception. These predators had been listening for years and found that we were hoping for a nice first contact--so they give it to us. Misguidance...

The Great Book of Amber--Roger Zelazny

a few?

Who's your favorite? (You know, good guy, the winner, the one who gets the girl/guy, the last man standing, etc.--literary protagonist.);)

I think Greg Bear did an excellent job of creating a sense of anticipation. If you've never read it before you'd never know what it was leading up to. Volcanoes appear in strange places with aliens at their base as decoys. Perfect. All the while the real damage is being done elsewhere.

Fantasy author Joel Rosenberg's first series is coming out in a new omnibus volume. "The Guardians of the Flame". It is well worth the reading time. Anyone else ever read it?

And with that I think we'll lock this discussion down. If you're a publisher and you really want to help out new budding writers, email me here Prolixic and we'll talk about it. Otherwise, go recruit somewhere else because you're not doing anyone any favors.

Whats your most creative method for Slaying mythical/magical beasts you've ever read in a book? Personally I'm very fond of the Vorpal sword Merlin uses to kill the Fire Angel in the Amber novels--Roger Zelazny--very creative use of an LSD hallucination. Its a knock off from Monty...

Don't be sad, my one cheesy little book store thats close enough to count has a poorly--at best poorly--stocked Sci-Fi section. Just the biggies and at least two sizeable shelves of comics. Rare Heinlein, no Bradbury and one or two by LeGuinn--I'll let you pass judgement. Should by some...

Turco's probably why Bertuzzi hit the post. It's tough to beat Marty Turco when he's on his game.

Witchchild I think we all do that after the big three-oh. Perhaps its the tighter clothes caused by the hole in the ozone layer or perhaps its the brightening of the heads of certain men due to a general lets-all-let-go agreement by the hair. Perhaps a few gray hairs that Miss Clairol can't do...

I agree about the puppet thing...perhaps the puppeteer needs to lay off the Jack Daniels and just stick to the puppets? I used to watch Godzilla movies when I was a kid all the time thinking, man this is so cool! A month or so ago I caught an old Godzilla movie on cable and it was a serious...

I always though Spiderman was number one. Followed closely by Thor. Whatever happened to Thor? Gotta love that hammer, man. The last I heard of him he made a cameo in Life, The Universe, and Everything by Douglas Adams.
