Green Tentacles has responded, thanks to klingonguy, but they have not followed up since sending the "get acquainted" material last week and an e-mail to inquire. I now go to the SFWA directory to find designers.

I went a little off on Amazon. I wanted to buy "100 Tiny Tales of Terror" just to get my short horror gears oiled. Well, it only cost ten cents! So i looked around and found "100 Sneaky Little sleuth Stories" because I'd like to see what makes them work. Only thirty-three cents!

I am now the owner of: 100 Tiny Tales of Terror, 100 Sneaky Little Sleuth Stories, 100 Fiendish Little Frightmares, 100 Hilarious Little Howlers, 100 Creepy Little Creature stories, 100 Wild Little Weird Tales, 100 Twisted Little Tales of Torment, and 100 Ghastly Little Ghost Stories.

So I now own 800 Alliterative Little Aphorisms of Agony.

The Zicklo the Doll project got caught up due to hubris. I thought "Sure, i know how to do these video effects! Why research tutorials on YouTube when I'm such a bright guy!" My idea as to making Zicklo talk is not working. I've set it aside for th e moment.

I wrote a 900 word story based on my experience in High School, with names from the original cast of bullies, thugs and pariahs! I rather like this story. Could even be lit'ry. Noble Fusioner Buck Dorrence had ideas for it and it was praised mightily by caoilinnshouse
I think cruising the 800 Aphorisms helped it along. And as short as the story is, i had no idea how it was going to conclude. i have some characters I'm going to play with today to see if i can get a story the same way.

i'd rather write than hang with friends. this causes me a little wistfulness with 20% chance of bumming out.

Question; have you ever gone regularly to a Friends list and wanted to delete somebody annoying, then remembered, oh yeah, this is somebody *else's* friends list? Would that be presumptuous, to say "Could you get rid of so-and-so? That person's annoying!"
