I’m looking for a fiction book of the romance genre that deals with HIV/AIDS?

November 18th, 2009


It can be from the POV of the person who has it or from the other person. I want to read about something that deals at least a little with the fear of beginning a relationship with someone who is positive…Doesnt matter whether its a gay or a straight couple. But nothing about third world countries, please.

Who is the best, current, writer in the Science Fiction Genre?

November 18th, 2009


OK, it’s opinion time, but first, a few caveats:

1) Nobody who is dead or retired. We all love Asimov and Heinlein, but I am trying to find out peoples opinions on recent, current authors

2) No non-genre authors. Please restrict answers to writers of Science Fiction (i.e. no horror, fantasy, or surrealists please).

3) I am not looking for sales figures (you can have a favorite author who is not a best seller and recommend them), so do not justify your answer with “his books sell well”.

That being said, I will provide my personal sample answer:
Simon R. Green: stylistically he is one of the best and most interesting writers in the genre today

Any good ideas for a plot?

November 18th, 2009


Next month is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), and I am hopelessly without a plot. Usually I have some sort of idea laid out, but this year I can’t think of anything interesting.

My genre: Fiction/Fantasy/Sci-Fi

Any suggestions? :)

Writting a script?

November 18th, 2009


So I’m planning on doing ScriptFrenzy this year after all the fun I had doing NaNoWriMo and I just realized I don’t have the first clue about how to write a script. I mean I know what it entails but I don’t know how to do any of the formatting or stage directions. I’ve heard people mention programs for this, can anyone recommend any good ones. Preferably free ones because I don’t know that I’m ever going to write another script and don’t want to spend a ton of money.
