reports, August 30An interview with ex-GD, writer, editor, fascinating person: `GeneratingHype. Here are some tidbits from the interview (which I recommend reading in full):
"Letters presuppose a sort of authenticity, and I truly believe that a story—no matter the form—needs to be authentic and believable.
"Sometimes I wish I had stories such as "I wrote my first published poem at three and a half!" or "I started writing stories at two!", but writing never came easy for me and is still not very easy for me.

The Use of Adverbs in Fiction Writing
=DarcKnyt
reports, August 29
reports, August 29Adverbs are the endangered species of the adult fiction world. They're frowned on like putting a Baby Ruth bar in a punch bowl at a wedding reception -- not a good idea. They're also indicative of weak writing ... but why? This article covers why adverbs are evil and what you can do to avoid using them.

Competition winners, and new competition!
*FantasyWritersUnited competitions have been drawing an increasing number of entries, perhaps because we've been offering a year's subscription or $40 deviant dollars to the winner. Even so, we're still only getting about 10 entries per competition. So what are you waiting for? If you write a good story you have a very good chance of winning with numbers like that. Details of our last competition for this year are further down. First, however, here are the competition winners for our most recent theme: Modern Magic.
WINNER | Slim Chance by *robertsloan2 |
2nd PLACE | Two weeks notice by =reddoor |
3rd PLACE | Space by ~RomaV |
Current Competition
Because of Nanowrimo, we've extended the current competition into December, so it will be the last one of 2005. With so many people participating in Nano again this year, you've got a good chance of winning if you can write a story about the triumph of evil, which is the theme. More information is available in the FWU journal and the competition closes on 10th December.
Good luck!
You must be a member of FWU to participate. Just note them to join.
