Re: Medusa on the Brain, or Loving the Mind Electric: A Cyberpunk Romance by A. Calla So I was thinking and I came up with a way to better structure the narrative, characters, and to improve the flow. Henry's fall to Medusa is going to be more gradual, and resemble someone falling into madness...

Re: Medusa on the Brain, or Loving the Mind Electric: A Cyberpunk Romance by A. Calla And I thought I had actually read this one through a few times! Jim is supposed to be Hank and 'laundry suit' is one of the funnier mistakes I've made. Thanks Crispenycate!

Re: Medusa on the Brain, or Loving the Mind Electric: A Cyberpunk Romance by A. Calla Love that idea J-WO and am definitely going to explore the whole idea of the nesting personalities. Nik: Medusa did, for all intent and purposes, is a part of his brain. And I have been reading Burning Chrome...

There is something about this story that is just not right and/or missing. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Medusa on the Brain, or Loving the Mind Electric: A Cyberpunk Romance by Adam Callaway Henry snapped. The same routine every second of everyday. This was the second when his...

I mean finding agents who represent authors that have similar novels to the ones I'm working on. I have found some authors who mention their agent by name on their blog or website and some who don't. I was just wondering if there was a comprehensive list or wiki on this subject.

I was wondering, how do you find agents of popular authors? Is there a database? Is it just dumb luck to find that info?

The Fungus by Harry Adam Knight. It was horribly written, the characters were less than one dimensional, uselessly graphic, cliched to the max, and it just blew. It was one of those books that was so bad that you had to finish it and keep saying "what, no way it just did that! It can't...

I've found the previous Year's Best (Dozois) to be too experimental and boring. This years though is really solid.

In your opinion, which magazine consistently has the stronger, more creative stories?

Abhor-hate, loathe Fetid-rotting, decrepit Paltry-small, meager

I'm slogging my way through all the books that have won both the Hugo and Nebula, and I just finished Rendezvous with Rama. I found it enjoyable, albeit lacking conflict. The science was spot on and not too overblown like it is in most modern hard sf pieces, which was very refreshing. I just...

I love this concept but am yet to read a decent example. Either the characters are shallow, it's way too hard sci fi, etc. Throw out your favorite generation ship stories please.

I would highly recommend it if you want a challenging, entertaining, unique read.

Does anyone know how to get ARCs? I am spending way to much on getting review material for my blog (even if I am supporting authors), and was wondering what kind of fan base you need to start getting ARCs from publishers? Thanks for the help!

Did anyone read this book by the son of John LeCarre? It caught my eye at B&N because of it's neon pink and green, felt-covered hardcover. It is a really good, very dense, absurdist fantasy thriller. But be prepared to have your mind freaked six ways to sunday. This guy uses language better...

If it bothers you, you have got to make the distinction between his work and himself. I personally don't mind his view because he's American and he can believe whatever he wants.

Sorry bout the formatting, I thought I had it all ready to go. Here's it reposted with formatting. And thanks for catching all the errors chrispenycate. That helps a lot. And no idea why those are wiki links. I did find the names off of wikipedia but I typed them out to avoid this sort of...

And now for something completely different, if I may borrow that from the classic absurd humor masters. This piece is much more light-hearted than The Suicide Artists. This is my brief account of the Kraken (yes, the mythical beast) living in the modern world. Enjoy. The Kraken, Living. The...

1) Loony Toons 2) Tom and Jerry 3) Rocko's Modern Life 4) The Angry Beavers 5) He-Man and the Master's of the Universe 6) Courage the Cowardly Dog And if I ever see any of these pop up sporadically, I instantly drop what I'm doing to bask in their cathode ray glow. Courage is still on...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! You have given me some great ideas and I definitely will expand this in some way. What way that is is still up in the air and I'll have to do some sample pieces to find out. Extra thanks to TheEndIsNigh for their critique and commonmind for too generous...
