Creative Writing Q&A’
Who wrote a science-fiction short story entitled “The Maw”? It appeared in an Analogue-type mag circa 1980.
This story was a conceptual gem. Late seventies to early eighties. You know concept stories — years later they’re still grabbing you, but you’ve forgotten the author. The story was about some ants from another planet (there is space-travel now) who can be bought and had as pets. You put them in your living room in a giant ant-farm terrarium and the ants, who are large, begin making glubular bricks and building an enormous statue of you, very life-like, which they commence to bow down to and bring ceremonial gifts to every day.
The protagonist mistreats his ants, and slowly, over time, his statue gets less and less flattering, and finally turns ugly or something.

Short fiction story about twins?
Hi everyone, I am writing a story about twin sisters who have moved to a new city & are best friends until they enter this new high school. One is an athletic, friendly tomboyish type, the other is a “popular”, rebellious girly-girl.
They are seniors in high school & getting ready for their prom. They are sweet girls but whose personalities are evolving now that they’ve been at their new high school. In the midst of this, an argument ensues & one of them gets into a tragic car accident at prom.
I want to evaluate on the importance of sisterhood, drunk driving, & the traumatic effect of the death of a sibling, specifically a twin sibling. Can anyone offer any advice because I would like for it to be dramatic prose.
@Hubert: I’m taking a quick detour, the interracial S&M story is taking a bit longer to complete…lol.

My short fiction novel. What you think?
It was a dark night, or a ‘Dark Knight’! Anyway, Nick Jonas, Batman, and me were all in hanging out and smoking weed in the Bat-Mobile when out of no where swoops in is Hannah Montana !
Happy, it wasn’t the Joker, and only a whiny pop star, I passed her the joint. After only one puff, she was high. She then grabbed her hair and pulled it. Revealing she was…….
MILEY CYRUS!
Everyone gasped, except for me because secretly I knew Hannah was a man.
The joint was passed around a few more times before anything else was eventful. All of a sudden Batman jumped up! ” Im gonna admit it to you, Nick. I wear women cloths, and I want you to take them off of me.”
Nick stared at Batty with seductive look. He slowly pulled down Batty tights and….
I stared at Batty and Nick for a long moment. Then I took my weed, and left Miley staring dumbly while Batman and Nick Jonas have gay sex.
more stories like this soon to come!

If You Were a Clone, Would You Want to Meet The Person You’re a Clone of?
I’m writing a novel for NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org, it’s not too late to join!) and I’m hit a slump.
So here it is….if you found out you were a clone of someone, why would you want to meet the person you’re a clone of?
I know that you can probably think of a million difference funny answers, but I would really, really appreciate the serious ones!
