A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thanks, Dana.
Speaking o' Dana, we have some rock star fic writers in here, though, I'm unsure we could lulu fic. How does that work?

What is lulu, anyway?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Are we doing *paid* or *published* writers only? 'Cause I qualify on both counts, though not recently. But there are well-expressed and thoughty people who are neither.

I don't think so, Bev. Just writers in general.

I like to think of myself as a writer. There might be a place for some nonfiction, and I did have a short story published in Asimov's and then anthologized.
What about online community as a subject?

“Not dead yet!”
I don't think that being paid or formally published should be any kind of requirement.
I do think we should avoid any fanfic (not the writers, just the fic itself) because of all the potential copyright infringement issues.

Also, I am not the boss of this, so i could be full o' shit. I just think it should be people who write, and write well.

Because books.
I would absolutely like anyone to play who feels the urge.
And I agree about fic. I mean, you could write it and change the names, I suppose, but if you're writing Star Trek, for instance, you'd have to change ... pretty much the whole setting, too.
Also? Completely not the boss of this, either. When I said I would edit it, I meant *edit* it for grammar, spelling, typos, making sure everything conforms to one general style, etc. Not picking and choosing.

oooh, so the picker and chooser role...that's the tough part. Though, I'm unsure if we'd even have enough writer interest to make it, still.
Need to think think think.
