edonil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Not bad. Headache, but that's to be expected what with the stupid broken air system that the maintenance guy insists is fine. Or is too lazy to be bothered with. Odds are the second. ---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ---------- And I just found a writing podcast. O.O I even recognize two of the writers, they do some awesome stuff. (goes to download) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I found an ebook somewhere called crusade by David weber and some other guy. It's interesting, has a LOT less technical specs in the story so I find myself skimming a lot less. It's funny seeing what names he reuses. One of the characters is sakanami instead of saganami. And there's a manticore system. It's fallen to the attackers though, no plucky star empire there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yeah...the technical specs were interesting the first time around, but they're getting old, lol. Any good, though? ---------- Post added 06-18-2013 at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was 06-17-2013 at 11:40 PM ---------- Woah. I like this podcast...it's really good stuff. They've got some novelists, a cartoonist (the author of Schlock Mercenary) and it's a lot of good info so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sounds good. Everyone having fun? I've been working on Lady J's base, it's proving fiddly but not as tricky as I'd expected. I think it's getting towards bedtime though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm looking for a musical interlude for the next round of the Quill at the moment... got a couple options, but not sure yet. Debating if I need a video to go with it or just the song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ahh, tricky. Either way, I'm surprised if you've found one that fits my choices lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 By one method of interpretation, I think I've got it nailed... ---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ---------- And frankly, I could've just thrown up The Sorceror's Apprentice and called it a day, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 ...and now that's going round and round in my head. Thanks for that. Lol Work fun tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 For a given definition of fun... You're welcome. Actually, you should go check out what I found, lol. Also, seriously check out that podcast, I've only listened to the one episode but it was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 What's the podcast name? I might have to get some cog is dead and vernian process soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Both are excellent. Vernian Process is great if you want a darker feel to things, The Cog is Dead runs the gambit and does some really clever things. If you get a cd from them, get Steam Powered Stories first, one of the songs in Full Steam Ahead is a sequel to one of the other stories on the other cd. The podcast is named Writing Excuses.

Mako Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ohh, the one the schlock guy was posting about on the comic page? Awesome, I'll check that out. And I'll definitely get steam powered stories first then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yeah, I figured I'd check it out, the one episode I listened to was on pacing in writing and covered how to do it in epic fantasy, short thrillers, even in webcomic format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sweet. I've just marked it in my podcast list, there's ten episodes for me to listen to so I'll be able to listen to stuff over the evenings. ---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ---------- Damn, I'm really hungry.

Mako Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Why it couldn't just have got tired instead, I don't know. Would have been a simpler fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Heh, true. It's funny...everytime I get handed the ingredients for the quill from you guys, it's always odd how well they all fit together, even though it's from multiple people.

Mako Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 That is odd. Maybe we all have the same brand of dribbling insanity! Gah, some leftover chicken balls, three pieces of toast, and over a pint of water, and I'm still craving food. I refuse to go cook though.

bowchikawowers Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Crusade? It's very good! Hard to put down. But I've managed to do so now, so I'm going to bed.
