Hey...I know that a couple people on this board like to write short stories and other type things (Shane for one.) I'm into screenwriting and comic book writing. A problem I always have is that there aren't enough people for me to bounce ideas off of or talk to about stories.
So what I decided to do was get together all the people I know who were into writing and liked to talk about stories...be it screenplays...short stories...novels or comics...and have a mailing list. This way people can send mails out with their ideas and get some more honest opinions back from people who don't know them.
I also figure I could get a small group of people into a chat room or two each week to talk about story ideas.
If anyone is interested in joining the group...you can PM me...reply here...or e-mail me at Cycklops@aol.com. Let me know which kind of stuff you're interested in. Thanks.
