Do horror, Carraka, it adds more character to the book.

Though, a little erotica never goes amiss... joking, of course!

Andy · 12-28-2007, 10:32 PM

I read an article. Adding in erotica or idiotic jokes (fart noises, etc.

) may make get you some more readers, but it'll really alienate people who have been enjoying your work without that stuff. So, not a good idea.

And yes, Shadow, I am aware you were joking

jordanisonfire · 12-28-2007, 11:00 PM

Was that sarcasm, Andrew?

Rafael Domination · 12-28-2007, 11:01 PM

Sci-fi all the way....or did I already say that?

jordanisonfire · 12-28-2007, 11:03 PM

Naw, don't worry, Rif-Raf.

Andy · 12-28-2007, 11:08 PM

I think Fantasy and Sci-Fi are going to lock heads in this poll.

It's like ninjas and pirates all over again...

jordanisonfire · 12-28-2007, 11:09 PM

Which is ninjas and which ones pirates? Maybe they could be medieval ninjas and space pirates?

Andy · 12-28-2007, 11:12 PM

Probably. Space ninjas would be interesting, though. Even in an astronaut suit, they're still speedy and deadly.

jordanisonfire · 12-28-2007, 11:13 PM

That'd be funny, with like lightkatanas and stuff.

Hey, I've just seen now, it's Steak-Ums' birthday!
