My husband's fantasy book... [03 Dec 2008|03:04am]
Hello everyone again,I also thought I'd post about my husband's fantasy book that we had self published. Again, let me know if I need to remove this post.Please check out his myspace page which has chapter excerpts and where the book can be bought. Also, if the premise sounds interesting enough, we were thinking about trying to go through a publishing company when our contract with the self publishing company comes to a close. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please drop me a line. Thanks so muchThe Aryla's Chosen Myspace Page

Hello everyone!Let me know if this post is in any way breaking any rules and I'll remove it ^_^I just recently quit my 4 and 1/2 year job for one of the largest health care companies out there to start a family. And so my creative muse has been in over drive.

Comedy Gossip Writers [16 Apr 2008|08:05pm]
Ok folks so here's the thing. I've got lots and lots of projects, and I keep coming up with more and more. The problem is that I only have so many hands, only have so many hours in a day. So - I'm looking for other people that want to do something creative, want to have fun and want to build something together. So from time to time I'll be posting here and where ever else to see who's up to doing stuff. With help from my friend Ravenlaughs(aka Dan - scratch that reverse it). Dan will basically help me out with organizing and essentially being the glue to my atom smasher. Wait, what?Point being Here's Project one.Something many of you are probably already familiar with **TiggerTalks**If you're unfamiliar TiggerTalks is a Feline Phenomina Fenomina, who's debut video chronicling the pregnancy of Young Miss Jamie Lynn Spears garnered over 135K views. I'm looking for writers/researchers to pick up daily gems in the entertainment and gossip world and write a vlog for our furry champion to put out. Vlogs should be short, fast paced, clever and the height of the haha factor. Topics of interest should compete with topics from sites such as Perezhilton.com, What the buck Show, joeblow, etc. Wanted : 3 to 5 Writers (video scripts) 2 to 4 Blogger/Researchers to find interesting stories daily to be used in an accompanying blog site and possible write video scripts as well. 1 to 2 Editors(video) to help with video segments. 1 or 2 Motion Graphics - for quick graphics, for examples modifying pictures of celebs with the howdy doody mouth... Check out the Gary Gygak video for an exampleIf you're interested in being a part of the Tigger Talks team send me your email info and some quick samples of your humor in script format (preferred). Right now all I can promise is a screen credit. But if we cross our fingers and keep things up, maybe in the future we can each get a shiny dollar from it. send email to samsaysstaystrong at gmail dot com Support the cause - go subscribe to:http://www.youtube.com/tiggertalks

Social Science Fiction [14 Oct 2007|10:25am]
Does anyone know of a literary agent or publisher who would be interested in helping me publish a social science fiction novel that invokes antipsychiatry and libertarianism? The novel is somewhat of a mixture of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park," and Crichton's "State of Fear." It is about a secret military operation that the American government is performing, which involves using the American citizenry as unknowing test subjects for biotechnology designed to protect them from biological terrorism. Like "State of Fear," it is experimental in the aspect that it uses citations of real sources, such as quotes of Bill Clinton, Ann Coulter, Huey Newton and also older people like Aeschylus, John Stuart Mill, and Mary Wollstonecraft. Strange as it might seem, Donald Rumsfeld and Enrique Iglesias also have cameos in the novel. The story discusses both science and philosophy, especially genetic recombination, medical ethics, and a comparison and contrast of polities (forms of government). Please tell me if you know of someone who would like to help me publish this novel.

WHO WANTS TO BE A ROCKET PIRATE? [09 Aug 2006|10:49pm]
Any comix creators out there? If so, then this may be of interest to you :People who want to make webcomics are invited to submit their ideas to me for membership in the Rocket Pirates, a webcomics collective which will be housed at http://www.rocketpirates.com.Rocket Pirates will be the first site to launch with the new Webcomics Nation Collective Edition technology, which will be available as a commercial product for people wanting to quickly and cheaply launch their own multi-creator webcomics portals sometime in the next few months. Because we’re all about being quick and cheap, believe me.Rocket Pirates will be free to all readers, all the time. This means, of course, that there is no cut of subscription fees to offer to creators. Instead, the system allows each creator the freedom to install Google Ads, Amazon Associates ads, ads for their own products, rate cards for prostitution services or any other damn thing on their comic’s Rocket Pirates page. Also, since we’re not paying, all Rocket Pirates engagements are on a non-exclusive basis, allowing the creators to run their comics on their own websites or any other place that’ll have them.The non-subscription approach means that I’m also doing this for free, so anyone who wants to send food and clothing c/o Joey Manley at Modern Tales is welcome to do so. I also offer inexpensive adult services.The submissions system is simply this: email your materials to me at warrenellis@gmail.com. I want to see at least three completed pages and an overview of what you intend to do. No need to be formal — rambly emails talking about the central concepts and what you want to achieve are fine.I’m open to anything — series, serialised graphic novels, single panels, self-contained shorts, newspaper-style strips — in any style, from manga to clipart to whatever the hell you just invented in your basement. No limits.I’m open to any kind of content. You’re going to have to work pretty hard to get me to accept a superhero project for the site, but if you’ve got something that knocks me flat, I’ll take it. But, seriously, I want to eventually curate something that takes in a wide breadth of what comics can achieve. Surprise me. Give me something straight out of literary mainstream fiction, give me a warped genre, give me something I’ve never seen before. That’s the “theme” of the site, the glue that holds it together. It is quite simply “stuff Warren really likes.”The submissions process is open to everybody. I don’t care if you only decided you wanted to try and make a comic ten minutes ago — I’ll look at it. I’ll warn you in advance that the chances of my being able to provide detailed and constructive rejections are slight, but I’ll do my best.(Also, if the site turns out to be all-male because only guys submitted, I’m going to be very pissed off, and will infect you all with this lung disease my girlfriend seems to have passed to me over the weekend.)I’d like to be up and running by the end of the month, but I won’t kick the site live until I have enough work of quality. The submissions process will remain permanently open. Unless, you know, I change my mind. I am unpredictable and I drink a lot.That’s all I’ve got. Please feel free to pass this unedited post on anywhere you like.– Warren Ellis
