Hype Night

Several of you have recommended we check the LJ site Femslash Today. We love this site and you'll find it on our Grunts' Checklist page. Femslash Today and UE are similiar in that Femslash Today checks LJ sites for updates. We don't check Femslash Today for updates but we do use it on occasion to find new places to check. They have many postings every day and if you're looking for even more to read, definitely check them out.

E also wanted me to mention that we've started posting stories that are linked by the Birds of Prey Femslash Masterlist. It's a great resource for all things BoP.

And finally tonight here's something interesting from Bedazzled Ink.
Want to learn the basics of fiction writing the easy way? Want the answers to those niggling editorial questions like:

What's the correct punctuation?
Am I using too much passive voice?
Am I telling instead of showing?
What exactly is POV and why should I care?
How do I know when a story is polished enough?

Carrie Tierney, editor of Khimairal Ink Magazine, is holding a two week class that covers the basics of fiction writing. Fiction Writing: Just the Basics is a lecture/discussion format, so you don't have to worry about having a writing sample or doing exercises. You don't even have to be a writer, just someone curious about what editors are looking for when they dig through piles of submissions.

The class is free and will be held online from February 19th to March 4th 2007.

Visit www.bedazzledink.com/bink-class.html for more information and to sign up.


That's it for tonight, enjoy the updates and keep sending your site suggestions.
