I've read quite a bit of literary fiction. For example, take "The Magicians", which was an attempt to write a literary alternative to Harry Potter...
I didn't misunderstand. I think you can learn things from anything. I was just clarifying that a lot of the frustration people have with creative...
I agree with everybody else. You may just have to let her jump in and help her face the consequences. I've never had friends in that same situation...
I have a minor in it. I took lots of classes in it; it wasn't just one. That was the philosophy of the whole department. I went to one of the largest...
That may have been how your classes went. That's not what mine were. Everything was about word choice and writing the most bizarre, depressing...
The best answer I can give is "It depends". You need to research your targets before you choose a workshop or writer's group. When I took a...
Yeah, the magic system isn't really the star in the series. Jordan obviously thought the people and politics were more important. But after reading...
I realized I missed this thread in the other thread. The problem is that magic system isn't original - that's essentially the magic system from the...

I like whatever fits the skin best and doesn't make the index page a lot longer, whatever that may be, including sidebars or welcome boxes. One new...
What I'd like is a simplified CSS for SMF, combining elements so you can change the most important and the rest will go along. They were on crack...
I would guess most people don't even notice that most threads are not archived on the 'D, even the ones that say that archiving makes their sites...
Zetaboards and Proboards both use proprietary forum software. They are forum hosts using forum software. When people say "forum software", they...
There is a group that split off, but there's just as much anger in that group due to the split, from what I can tell. And since the people I do like...
I also don't like it, but I don't get mad about it. I write accents with a note in the prose about the accent, and I will throw in words common to...
They have OOC boards. Nobody uses them. The games forum has maybe 4 threads. It's pretty sad.
They stayed with the same fandom, but he decided he wanted to run an OOC live fandom group instead of a roleplaying group. Despite the fact that...
