Hiring a Freelance Editor - a How To Guide

Sat, 05 May 2012 22:38:48 GMT

Greetings,

I'm an aspiring science fiction and fantasy novelist in the process of finishing up a book to release on the ebook market, and I've decided to do a series on what I learned and discovered while searching for and hiring a freelance editor for my novel. There are a lot of writers on Dreamwidth, so I've decided to do the series for the fest, and I'm hoping that people will come and share their knowledge as well.

The first post is here and I'll be updating weekly with different topics.

Fic requests

Thu, 03 May 2012 00:07:44 GMT

Am unabashedly stealing this idea from pathological_needlepoint.

You can find the request post here, and I'll be leaving it open until the end of the fest. (: Just comment with a prompt, and depending on how hard inspiration bites I might have it done in a day or a week. Anything from original fiction to fanfic goes, and if you have any questions, just ask.

smallbatchicons request fest is now live
If you're looking for some icon inspiration, or if you have that rare fandom/character/actor/pairing/quote you can never find icons for, now is your chance!

Open until Friday May 11. Come play with us!

Taking prompts on my writing journal

Tue, 01 May 2012 22:59:00 GMT

On my original fiction and poetry journal (which is all poems at this point *g*), I've opened up a prompt fest for people who want to suggest things for me to write. (And I'm shaking the tip jar from Dreamwidth points, to help support the platform!) If you want to suggest writing topics, hit me up!

Here's the prompts post!

3W4DW dreamsheep icons :D!

Tue, 01 May 2012 20:40:31 GMT

I don't see (many) 3W4D icons, so I'm reposting this 2010 entry with the ~80 dreamsheep icons I did two years ago. If you don't know what/who the dreamsheep is, check the community profile and helens78's post that started it all. The relevant bit follows:

Metaphor Time! (Because I couldn't resist.)

If LiveJournal is a goat -- a pioneer in domesticated animals, certainly, with many wonderful and valuable traits, and an excellent type of spinnable fiber (mohair and cashmere, for instance!) -- and its clones are all different breeds of goats (some of which are better than others), then Dreamwidth is in the same subfamily, capridae, but it's a different animal altogether. ( baaaa )

You can find the icons at the dreamsheep community, in this entry. Check the other posts while you are there, and create or snatch a sheep or a flock :P (if you haven't already).

A sample:

Transfic Mini Fest 3

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 03:05:39 GMT

I'm running the Transfic Mini Fest again this year, so come on over if that seems like it might be your sort of thing!

Prompts can be from any fandom, RPF or FPF, and can focus on either canonically trans characters or characters who are trans for the purposes of the fic. Prompts can be het, slash, or gen. No restrictions on rating. Really, no restrictions on anything, except be respectful, which should go without saying.

Prompts do not have to be "about" being trans. They can be something as simple as a pairing or a pairing + word/kink/lyrics. The point is simply to have more stories starring trans people. So if you want to write about issues, that's cool. If you just want to write a PWP, that's fine, too. Just one or more of the main characters in the fic needs to be trans. You can specify in your prompt who you want to be trans and what sort of trans you want them to be, or you can not specify anything and leave it up to the writer.

For the purposes of this fest, trans means anyone who does not identify as the gender they were assigned at birth, including genderqueer/non-binary people. Intersex characters are also welcome.

What I am not looking for is traditional "genderswap" fic, stories about cis people crossdressing, etc. and if you choose to leave/fill a prompt for intersex characters, please no sci-fi/fantasy "hermaphrodites", only real intersex conditions.

3W4DW Participation: Doctor Who Stuff

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:17:59 GMT

Hello:

gallifrey_times is hosting a Doctor Who Get Acquainted Meme, while doctor_and_master has extended its Lurker Amnesty Days to coincide with the May 15th ending date for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth.

I'd just like to say thanks to the people who have and are putting this fest together and the Dreamwidth is a calm, thoughtful and therefore wonderful place to be.

Why do

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 11:52:31 GMT

I like DW?

It's friendly, much easier to use than some sites and has some great communities.

I love the enthusiasm, the real feeling that we are here together, that changes are not imposed on the members.

It's a place for me to read, to learn, to understand.

And sometimes a place to expose my poetry and writing to others, nervously hoping someone out there might like it.
