I am going to start writing my zombie feature soon, which I will be shooting in November/Decemnber. I have a meeting with my advisor tommorow where we will discuss my outline.

I am sure other people are writing too. People should post here more though!

I'll confess, I havn't been writing due to a combination of school, WoW addiction, and driver's ed. I have been planning my next story though. The Number Three, a psycho abducts 33 people and puts them in a giant inescapeable room, he claims that 30 of them were abducted and 3 were planted by him. If they cannot discover the 3 fake people in 3 days he will kill them, after 3 days of hell their have been suicides, murders, rape, all kinds of stuff in the last throws of these peoples lives. Even torture and an enquisition of sorts trying to discover the 3. In the end the people fail and the man tells them all 33 were abducted and he had lied about the 3 planted people and then he kills them.

Yikes, creepy. Reminds me of Battle Royale. Brr, it sounds so claustrofobic... You sure have material for a good (and disturbing...) story there.

Welcome to the Guild!

Boy, that was easy wink



Nem

Hey yeah! A very warm welcome to SFF and the Guild, TWS, t-wiz or whatever it is you're calling yourself these days.

Great to see you here happy

And actually I have been contemplating getting another main user name, but both the ones I like are more than 20 characters. I know, darn! tongue

It'll be great seeing original work from you

Feeling is mutual. So how do you go about that? I was reading stuff about first publication rights, so I don't want to put it here unless I can purge it later or something. But I definitely want to share from my backlog. Will PMs work? I could send whatever people would like to see that way.

Here are some titles

Sci-Fi Genre:

Taken
The Gaurdian at Sepulcron

Horror Genre:

The Descent to Power
Bleed for Me
I Like to Steal
The Family
Ritual

those are all short stories. There might be more I'd like to have people read but it's early and I can't think of them.

Well, I got an idea for a story this afternoon; but I'm not sure it is any good. It's set about 170 years before the longer story I'm (kind of) working on. It's in some European capital, London most likely, and it's war and the city is being bombed while people plunder and riot etc. Someone invents a cyborg that is supposed to dig out people from bombed buildings and deal with plunderers and criminals. These cyborgs recharge their batteries by eating; and at some point they taste meat and goes nuts and wants more.

That's all I've come up with so far. Ok, so this is dangerously close to being a total cliché; but maybe I can figure out some nice twist to it.

The idea for the cyborg itself is old and belongs in the longer story. Here's a conceptart of how it looks: http://www.deviantart.com/view/32415235/

Hey Fenrisulven, that sounds like a pretty neat idea. The only thing I'd suggest is to make sure that there is a good reason that somebody invented cyborgs that have to eat to recharge. As long as it makes sense it should be fine. That concept drawing is pretty cool looking also.


As for my writing, this weekend I am going to start writing my zombie feature. Technically my advisor wants a draft of the first act done by Tuesday, which strikes me as impossible, but I am at least going to get some pages down this weekend and Monday. The rest of the first draft will be written over the summer, at which point I'll send it out to people on my crew and others for some feedback, and hopefully have a final draft done by September or October, at which point I should have been in pre-production for awhile. eek.
