              Luckily I already know about texturing in Autodesk Maya which doesn't require my full attention on the lesson at hand.

                Hi,
                I've already mentioned this on another thread, but I thought that I would share the news with you. I was given a new novel just after midnight today. A work colleague gave me a promotional copy of 'The Hunger Games'.

                        Really, maybe you need to turn up the dimmer ?

                          Those are dimmer switches?

                              I came across this yesterday and was wondering what you all think about this (Twilight ) fanfic writer who basically changed the main characters' names (and probably occupations) of her fic/the movie and then published it as an original e-story. Apparently it's now a bestseller and she got snapped up by a publisher with a $5 million dollar contract and movie rights have also been sold...

                              I don't know the books (or the original fanfic) but from what I've seen of some of the reviews you either love it or hate it. The writing is apparently very mediocre at best and it seems the author uses a lot of repetition with some folks claiming she's got a rather limited vocabulary. Others think it's brilliant and even claim it's helped their own marriage.

                              The whole thing kinda made me wonder if something like this is a good or a bad thing for fanfiction's reputation. On one hand it's of course awesome for this woman to get snapped up by a publisher but on the other hand a lot of readers say she basically stole the characterization etc from the books/movie and that Meyer should sue her over copyright issues. Also, the poor writing probably won't help...
                              Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
                              Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.
                              On FFnet or AO3


                              My S/J fics can be found on FFnet and AO3. I also tweet and tumble about the ship and my writing/stories.

                                - and then I didn't read the article, so I really havn't got much to discuss on the matter ... *cough*
