My question is: What do you guys wish was done more, or hasn't been done at all and you wish would be done, in the urban fantasy genre?

Author Craft / On Character Swearing
« on: January 19, 2007, 05:46:32 AM »
Well, this started because I had a character that said F**k in one of my stories and I got a ration of crap from my beta reader, who said that it's just as bad for the writer to use swear words of that magnitude as it is for the character. Now, it was completely within character for the character to say that (he'd already used every other swear word in the american language, as well as variations of the "f-word" such as "freakin" and "friggen"). Now the readers view of the character might drop a little, but I really don't think it reflects that epically on the writer that decides to have that character use it.
So, what do the rest of you think?

Author Craft / Writing under a different name
« on: August 18, 2006, 08:46:56 AM »
A question about writing under a different name. What are the pros of writing under a different name? And if you choose to use an alias for writing would you get to choose it?

Author Craft / Change in recent years
« on: August 08, 2006, 12:13:03 AM »
Something I've noticed that's kind of new with the Sci-fi/fantasy industry is that people are begining to spell fairy like faerie. Why the change? I kinda figured it was political correctness to avoid...uh...trashy remarks to sexual orientation?
Then again I'm probably looking way too much into it. Chances are it's just something cool that somebody did and now it's slowly spreading. (because I personally prefer the 'fae' spelling myself.)
Well, either way, I was wondering if anybody had any ideas what that was about.

Author Craft / The first line
« on: August 03, 2006, 09:02:50 PM »
I saw this thing on tv. A collage proffessor is given an hour to teach kids (Maybe ten to thirteen year olds) how to write. He went over what he could do for these kinds in an hour.
What he ended up telling them was that the first line is the most important in the book. Because if the first line doesn't get the readers attention they won't read beyond that.
I agree. Who else thinks so?

Author Craft / Sci-Fi magizines
« on: August 02, 2006, 07:19:53 AM »
Okay, I did a search online that came up with nada and zip all at the same time. I'm asking if anybody knows about sci-fi magazines that publish short stories and pay for it.
Thanks
