black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

Okay… Darkwing Duck and Doctor Who have been knocked out of first place for the first time in 20 years! OMG! Doctor Who has been my #1 fave show since the 1970’s! and Darkwing Duck tied it as first place in 1991, and NOTHING has ever come close to knocking them out of the spot ever! Until now. I’m addicted to this show now. InuYasha is the best show I’ve ever seen. I tried finding it on DVD and found out it’s a Japanese import and super expensive so I am now recording in on video for the time being.

It’s based on a book. Note to self: MUST FIND AND READ BOOK!

Lord Sesshomaru is gorgeous! I wish he was real. What an amazing guy! I wish he wasn’t such a minor character though, he’s only in like one out of ever 10 episodes. 😦

F.O.W.L.

As a devoted fan of F.O.W.L. (Feindish Organization of World Larceny), I join in in this goal of having an evil lair, in hopes that NegaDuck, SteelBeak, and the Fearsome Five choose it for their next secret hideout.

What Does “Non-Genre” Mean?

Many publications say they only accept “Non-Genre Fiction”. A common question writers ask is: “What is Non-Genre Fiction? Doesn’t all fiction have a genre?” I had just read this post and noticed a debate over what is the meaning of Genre Fiction VS Non-Genre Fiction had begun on it’s comments.  Being an editor, I think I can be of help here. So, here is my answer to that question. I hope that some of you find it helpful when submitting your future stories to publishers.When a publication says, “they’re non-genre focused”, they mean that they only want literary fiction and will automatically refuse all stories that a genre driven. A genre driven story is one that falls under the following:

Romance

Fantasy

Sci-fi

Horror

(and the many other such genres out there)

Genre driven stories are focused largely on promotion of their genre and the story focuses totally on that genre. I.e., a romance focuses on a girl’s romantic infatuation; a fantasy will focus on the life of elves wizards and he-men type characters fighting evil in a epic quest; sci-fi focuses on alien life forms traveling from one planet to the next and other such sci-fi type things; horror focuses on scaring the pants off the reader

When a publisher say “they’re non-genre focused” they want to see a slice-of-life story about the day (or week or year) in the life of so-and-so… this is what is known as non-genre or literary fiction. The story focuses on real-life type characters in real life type situations; stories that real like they could be the life of the guy next door or the girl down the road. Non-genre stories tell a story that is not dependant on a fantasy quest or the eloquent narration describing the alien landscape or the steamy sex-scenes. They simply tell a story about life and thus have no genre.

Well, that’s what I see it to mean. Feel free to comment on your own veiws as to the meaning of “non-genre”.

A List of POD Publishers

I found this list of Print On Demand publishers and found it quite interesting as I had only heard of a few of them before. Well, you know me, now I must go check them all out and compare them against each other. I am compelled to do nothing less. I haven’t had a chance to study up on these yet, so I can’t vouch for them, but feel free to check them out for yourselves and see what you think of them.

Here’s the complete list of Publishers covered in the Guide:  

(links added by me, as the article contained no links ~~EK)

For those interested in POD self-publishing, I also recomend that you first read this:

For the sake of referance, I pasted the first paragraph below:

PRINT ON DEMAND

 Print on demand (POD) is the commonly-used term for the digital printing technology that allows a complete book to be printed and bound in a matter of minutes. POD technology makes it easy and cost-effective to produce books one or two at a time or in small lots, rather than in larger print runs of several hundred or several thousand.POD has a number of applications. Commercial and academic publishers use it to print advance reading copies, or when they can’t justify the expense of producing and warehousing a sizeable print run–for instance, to keep backlist books available. Some independent publishers use it as a more economical fulfillment method, trading lower startup costs against smaller per-book profits (due to economies of scale, digitally printed books have a higher unit production cost than books produced in large runs on offset presses). Last but not least, there are the POD-based publishing service providers, which offer a fee-based service that can be described, depending on one’s bias, as either vanity publishing or self-publishing….

Attack of the POD People! They are not evil.

Are you a self publisher? Maybe you have a manuscript you want published, but you are not sure if self-publishing is right for you? I’m a self publisher myself and I’m always looking for ways to improve, so as you can expect I spend a lot of my “blog reading time” looking for blogs that help writers in general and self-publishers esp. Well, today I came across a new blog I hadn’t found before. My search lead me to this post:

POD is not Vanity is not Self Publish

April 1st, 2007 · No Comments

POD is a technology. It’s a way to print books. It’s quite useful for printing small quantities, particularly if there is intermittent demand. LOTS of publishers who are not vanity houses or scam mills use POD technology. University presses spring to mind, as do very small limited runs of very tightly focused books. POD is not evil.

Vanity presses can use POD technology OR they can use webfeed technology. Vanity presses are essentially printers with some support staff. They’ll help you print up nice editions of whatever you want. You pay for this. It’s called vanity because they don’t acquire the book. Acquire means there is an editorial staff choosing particular books to publish. Vanity houses do not maintain lists, issue catalogs or sell books in bookstores. Vanity presses are not evil

Self publishers can use POD technology or webfeed technology. Self publishers are not vanity presses in the everyday sense of the word. They are “vanity” in the sense that there isn’t an acquisition but the two phrases are used to mean different things in publishing. Lots of people self publish for a lot of reasons. Self publishing is not evil.

POD/scam mills are companies set up to persuade you, the author, that printing your book with their company is the equivalent to having it acquired by a publisher. They charge you money. Unlike a respectable vanity press, they don’t copy edit or produce high quality products. They are out to make money on volume. They prey on author’s insecurities and lack of knowledge. POD/scam mills are the scum of the earth.

Whether a company is the scum of the earth depends on how they run their business, not how they print their books.

There are several POD companies that do not try to persuade you that you have but to print up books with them to be on your way to fame and glory. Lulu and CafePress come to mind. There are others I’m sure.

Blogs for Writers

I’m planning on doing an update for my Z-List for writers. I’ll be posting the new edition in the next week or so. For now I am searching the net for blogs geared for writers, blogs by writers, blogs about the writing life, blogs that give writing lessons, and other such blogs that would be of interest to novelists everywhere. While most of the blogs I have added thus far are blogs that I read, I am looking for suggestions. What I mean is: If you are a writer and you have a blog for other writers, feel free to leave a comment on this post with a link to your blog so I can check it out. If it fits the type of blog I’m looking for, I’ll add it to the next edition of The Z-List for Writers. I look forward to reading your blogs.

For those of you who don’t know what The Z-List is, here is an explaination:

Like the chain letter, the Z-List contains addresses, but it differant in that it never asks you to buy anything. You don’t even have to buy a stamp. The Z-List is the chain mail for bloggers. It gets a blog pingbacks and inbound links, and helps to send more traffic to the blog, hopefully traffic that well stay on to become regular readers.

Anyone can start a Z-List. It’s easy. Just take a list of Blogs which you enjoy reading, and put them in a post on your own blog. Some say not to add your Blog to the list, while others say to go ahead and put your Blog right on the top of the list. Well, it’s your Blog and your list so you can put links to any Blog you please in it.

With the list you leave a message, asking that the next person to read this post, copies it and pastes it into the next post they make on their own Blog. They are free to add as many Blog links to the list as they like, and they are welcome to remove any links that are already in the list, if they feel that theose Blogs are inappropiate to be linked back to their own Blog.

Most Z-Lists start out with five or ten links, but after being passed on to just ten more bloggers, that Z-List can quickly have 100 or more links in it. The advantage of this is, that for each post, that each Blog in each link, well recieve a ping-back for that post. In other words, their Blog becomes linked to your Blog and your Blog to thiers, making it a win-win situation for both your Blog and their Blog, by raising the inbound link ranking with such places a Technorati and Google, meaning that you Blog moves higher in the ranks on search engins, resulting in more people finding your Blog and giving you more readers. Great huh? Absolutely!

P.$.

I only accept family friendly blogs into my Z-Lists, so blogs that promote sex, porn, hate, racism, violence, hunting, guns, drugs, and other such acts are never added to any of my Z-Lists. If after addition to one of my Z-Lists, I later find that such posts and links have been added to the blog, the blogs link well be removed from all of my Z-Lists.

Please note, that spam posts are deleted automaticlynow, cause I got sick of scrolling through dozens of Porn and sex posts. Blogs that are about or link to sex or porn sites are automaticle scanned and deleted and I never even see them at all now, sobe sure your blog has no sex or porn on it or linked to it, before you post it, because it well never be reviewd if it does.

This is the Z-List for Writers as it originally appeared. As you can see, it was thrown together as I read the blogs, with no rhymn nor reason. The new edition, well be in alphabetical order.

Life, the Universe, and Everything…Don’t Panic

This board new, just started, so still getting things moved around. Any suggestions?

Life, the Universe, and Everything…Don’t Panic

A Writer’s Desk…new skin

A Writer’s Desk…new skin  

Okay, there were several complaints about the old skin, so I got rid of the Black & White skin and I’ve got the new forest skin, mostly finished now, still tweeking the colors around abit, but it’s pretty much finished. Any thoughts on the colors I’m useing now?

Yes, as I said, the house pic was temporay, cause my image host (imageshack) was down all week for matanance checks., and I couldn’t uplaod the pics for this forum, than, but that’s overwith, so I got the correct pics up now. The house pic is gone, (well, actually it’s only moved to the sub-board on houses, where it was supposed to be in the first place) and replaced with a banner instead, still not sure that I’ve got it right, but at least it’s better than the house pic was. Any ideas on a better banner?

Also, looking for suggestions on what to do with the icons.

This place is VERY new (just started it April 5, 2006) so I haven’t yet got all the catagories/topics up and running, but you can see where they are headed from what’s up already. Once I’ve got the layout of the skin/colors/icons finished, I’ll go back and finish the catagory/topics stuff.

Here is the link to it, check it out and let me know what you all think! Thanks!

my refresh button is slow tonight, I think it’s all these pics I’ve added, my computer needs more memory or something.

I am happy as a lark surrounded by stacks and stacks of Scrooge, but Pidgie doen’t like it, he’s running back and forth and chattering because I’m on one side of the stack and he’s on the other and he can’t see me. Poor Pidg, I’ll have to move the comics so he can stop swearing at me.

#1 Dime Part 3

history of the #1 dime cont…

Magica, having seen the coin a hundred times before recognizes it as Scrooge’s dime an chases the girl, than tries to steal the coin from the girl’s father…big mistake…

The girl turns out to be Scrooge’s sister Matilda, she gives the dime to her father Fergus McDuck, who comes up with a scheme to have a ditch-digger pay the dime to Scrooge…a lesson in being careful with business deals…but Magica, takes the dime first, resulting in a chase across town…once Fergus gets the dime back, he than gives it to a ditch digger who is to give it to Scrooge for having his shoes-shined…Scrooge always had a temper and angry at the man, vowed to never be cheated again, and to himself all ways do business honestly (sadly as he got older, he forgot this vow and turned to cruel and hateful means of getting wealth–which resulted in a fight with his family, and his disowning to whole lot of them in a spiteful rage)

There is a combination of 4 pictures here (I edited out “un-nessacary” panels, for the sake of clarity)

We see Magica, taken the dime from Matilda, who takes it back, and in turn gives it to her father. A 2 page chase/fight is not shown here, which is followed by Fergus taking the dime back. More panels are edited out, and than Fergug gived the dime to the ditch-digger, telling him to get his shoes shined and use the dime as payment.

Than the final 2 panels, I took from the first chapter of “Life & Times”, which is when we see the 10 year old Scrooge the first time he sees the dime.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Three years later, Scrooge leaves for America, and then from America the teenaged Scrooge goes on to Australia…where we see for the first time, a true parinoia connected with the dime, that would later result in a crazed maddness…(to be continued)

Don Rosa

Money Church

I just had a wild idea….

You know there isn’t a church in Duckburg…how ’bout we have Scrooge start “The Church of Duckburg”, where he can preach about God VS Mammon (money), but I don’t think there’d be any communion…wine and crackers cost money, you know! Scrooge would expect people to pay tithing…getting money would be the whole motive behind his starting a church. In fact, he’d prob’ly charge people to come in AND expect a 10% tithe. He’d excommunicate all non-tithe payers.

Scrooge would make a GREAT preacher…he could be a TV evangelist and say that he had a revalation that everyone in the world was supposed to send him all of their money so they could be saved. Who wants the guess that I spent the day with a real live Mormon high priest and now I’m protesting?

I need a name for Scrooge’s church now…

I know—

The Church of the 24K Moon

The Everlasting Congregation of the Goose Egg Nugget. 

 The Church of the #1 Dime and the Latter Day Greenbacks

Scrooge’ll have to write The Book of Mammon on gold coins.

…and he won’t have to change the name of The Pearl of Great Price.

 If anyone can think of any others, go ahead and post a comment to share your ideas!

Trivia question…

Who knows the name of Scrooge’s God…(hint, Scrooge is NOT a Christian.) (Anyone know what story tells us this?) (I wonder why Disney didn’t cut that panel—they have an anti-religious guideline)

an added note—Because of the religion that Scrooge follows (Scrooge is not a Christian), he believes in re-incarnation and believes himselve to have been Malcome McDuck in a previous life. Does anyone know what religion Scrooge belong’s too and who his God is?

I was just thinking…if Scrooge isn’t a Christian, than a church that he’d start wouldn’t collect tithing would it?

I actually know almost nothing about the religion that Scrooge follows, since most of the religions I’ve studied are the Christian ones.

Well now I’m gonna have to look into this, because I seem to recall that that same religion preaches vegetarianism as well. hhhmmmm….now I have to do a panel by panel search to see if Carl Barks ever drew Scrooge eating meat…I know lots of stories do, but I can’t remember if any of Barks’ did or not. I never noticed. Wow, what a job, I’m already doing a panel by panel search for cross-dressed ducks.

Well, at least it’ll keep me busy.
