Thank you both, It's good to be with such friendly people.

Hi, i would like to join if that alright, i'm currently in the developing stages of a series called Doctor Who's Enemies Battles, wondered if anyone would be interested

I'd say have a go, Dave. We created the Creativity Corner for just such stuff.

Thanks, this is the first sort of series that i have though up, would u be interested?

I think I'd need to read more about it before I could commit. Why not start a thread, explaining your idea? Explain how it works. I'm sure that will generate some interest.

Hello Dave (yes I know you and yes you were at my BBQ yesterday but this an internet hello)

As I've said before I'm too busy to actually write but I'd be happy to advise, edit or do anything else that helps with this series

Hi, it was a good BBQ thanks that would be great, i have got a thread in the same part that this thread is based, but i think i will have another one in the main Creativity Corner

*Pops on mod hat* I've locked the one in creativity cvorner. Please keep it to 1 thread, only 1 is needed.

Apparently off topic Sorry

The coffee bar is for general chat about writing in general. If you want to start a thread for reviews discussion then go ahead, it'd be a good idea

I've just finished a 19 part long story for Hunted, it should start to go online in a month or so.

How is part 2 of your story for me coming along Johnstone?

It's well on its way. It's first priority for me now so it'll be with you in a couple of days.

Cheers ears.

The final 2 stories of Hunted series 1, both written by me, have gone online over on GB. All comments would be much appriciated. I shall be re-posting them over here with the rest of the series soon...

The Fall of Time

I think it's worth mentioning this (possibly again):

If you're interested in being paid for writing, there are a couple of microfiction markets on Twitter. The one I'm having most success with is Tweet The Meat - I've now sold three 140 character stories to them this year.

The reasons I'm shilling them here are:

1) They pay. A dollar. It's not much, but if you're looking to write seriously, it counts as a Paid Writing Credit, which will eventually add up to helping you get an agent.

2) They have recently asked for additional rights - they already want first digital rights (the first time the piece appears online anywhere it is through them) and they now want non-exclusive Print Anthology rights.

It's worth going to their Blog and reading the submission guidelines carefully, in case this is something you might want to try.

Thanks for the link Dave, I'm definately giving it a go.

Quite right, so you should.

In case anyone else had their curiosity piqued, this week's theme is "fetish".

Grab a dictionary, because it's got more than one meaning and the editors like it when writers think outside the box.

I've started posting my latest script from my fanfic series 'Hunted' it's a total of 19 episodes long and I'll hopefully be posting 2 episodes a week. I hope you all enjoy
