Fantastic! I'll get down to researching! Thank you so much!

Hey, Zia. I'm rather new to the site as well but definitely not to writing! Most of my projects end up... Hmm, how shall I put this? Not, as I had hoped. But the main thing is to take lessons from each thing you do and try again! Nice to meet you and good luck in your future fiction!

My favourite podcasts tend to be of the more rambley variety with occasional news bits etc. For example, I used to be an avid listener of the AAA (Anime Addicts Anonymous) podcast, a bloody awesome cast with a great mix of presenters. Kimiko FTW.

You too, dude! :D

Agreed! Most of my music tends to be classic rock and metal such as Led Zep, Sabbath or Iron Maiden although I'm interested in a lot of genres. Undefinable bands such as Gungor (they're a Christian rock/alternative/sort of group) and things like the Cure, some orchestral soundtracky bits and...

Hmmm... I didn't consider a District 9 approach, thanks. But some of these characters need to be heard to actually move the story along, otherwise whoever happens to be in the room with them will end up translating for the reader. I'll definitely look into it though, thanks. Sign language? Now...

A mystery and as a newer Batman fan I can't really guess at that... But yeah! Swamp Thing, read it, frickin' awesome.

Thank you, and I love it! Especially the cover to #4... Reminiscent of Hugo Strange's circle-rimmed glasses, I thought and about the story. Well, it's Snyder! XD I'm loving the new run, have you had a look at the new Swamp Thing issues yet?

Thank you! I look forward to seeing you around too! :D

I've approached this in two very different ways in the past. In one of my shorts I knew various personality features of the character, a thief thrust into heroism, but didn't reveal a name or age. Instead the theme of an unknown hero in an unmarked grave drove it forward. However with my current...

Thanks and one of my favourites are Threepenny Bit. They're quite a local band but they have a couple of albums out on iTunes and Amazon. They're so much better live though, foot-stompingly good in fact! :D

Thank you, both of you! I didn't expect a response that quickly! And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes Celtic! XD Wookiefoot sure sounds good too, and not just because of the Star Wars reference! And yes, Ankari, it is Floyd! I'm not sure I'm ready to start submitting yet but I...

One of the races I plan on including in my short fantasy novel are a flying, insectoid race whose tongue is compromised of warbles, clicks, whistles etc. So I have several problems. 1. How to communicate without a translator? 2. How to keep describing the language interestingly? (Just...

Well, if the character is truly immortal perhaps an inescapable trap? That way any 'reincarnation' power the immortal may have wouldn't be of any use either.

Hi, I'm Vale. Well, I'm not really.. Unfortunately I'm stuck with a far more mundane name than Vale but ho-hum. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself. Hmm, a couple of things I like... Music, I really like classic rock and metal along with a couple of the newer bands. I'm also slightly...
