Link? It's still kicking down there... somewhere. I'm not really inclined to find it, mostly because, now that I've actually gone back and looked at it(I still have a copy of it)... It's not that great.
*shruggs*
BEsides. I've got some new stuff that I'll be posting later.
Cool. Okay, Kelly, I got you PM and I will link you to the stuff I've done here in the past. I admit I have read a lot but not commented so much, and only posted maybe a half-dozen things max-- but, if there is to be an actual, active writer's org here to workshop things I will be much more active.
I have two novels in the works and about to start a third based loosely on my adventures in Israel. Right now I have to pack up to go to Army Reserves for 6 days but when I get back I'll set up all the details so you'll know what I'm about.
See ya then, and till then, y'all have fun.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around! If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!! Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

There we go.
You also need to have a writing sample either in fanfic already or one that you can PM or email to Kelly who is the final arbitor on these matters when she decides to put it to a vote. If you really wanna join, PM Kelly.
Wherever you go, there you are.

I think I will join. I will use Rebellion as my resume. I dislike writing fanfic or crossovers, the reasearch is a killer and I usually give up after a page or two.
For the time being, Writer's Guild is not accepting any new applications. Right now I have 10 people sitting on the pending membership list and I have no idea what anyone's status is, nor do I have an accurate idea of which Guild members are still active. The Guild will be accepting new membership applications again no later than 1 September. Those of you waiting to have your applications approved who still want to join, e-mail or PM me. Thank you for your patience.

Writer's Guild has been reopened to new membership. Requirements for entering remain the same. However, please be advised that the Guild now has a participation requirement in order to remain a member, so don't apply unless you know you'll have the time to contribute.

It might be for the best if you put my membership on "pending", really; I'm not exactly prolific.

I should have specified: the only participation that's required is giving criticism to other member's works. Nobody's under the gun to produce fiction, not when there's already so many people writing.
I don't remember if you read the new requirements in the Guild or not, Eleas. At any rate, those not in the Guild will know it now.

OOPPPSSS....I forgot to update the announcement. RedImperator is now the head of the Writer's Guild not Kelly. Any and all submissions should be sent to him from now on. Sorry for any confusion.
Wherever you go, there you are.
