Just Tripping Along The Freakazoid

I strongly recommend people read this article http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2081784-1,00.html and please, let me know what you think.

So, here is another installment in the story I started in another post It's still a rough draft and very much a work in progress, it just helps to throw things out into the digital Grid sometimes : ) ------------ Title: Should've Stayed Outta Their Business (takes place about a month or two after Getting Business Done - see here for that story and for info on the characters) Author: docwho2100 Story: World of Depleted (with original characters) Pairing: F/F and who knows what else Rating - R DISCLAIMER - World of Depleted is property of Viking Productions Inc.

Well, ok, so, this is kinda weird. I like to write fanfiction and have written a few stories here and there and posted them on my story site. I am not a writer or any way associated with media/writing (thus you will see grammar boo-boos, trite use of language, I tell instead of showing, adverbs are my friend, POV switches many times, cliché’s out the wazhoo and all the other rulers writers have I tend to break), I just like fanfiction and RPing and writing. So, this is not a stellar story, it’s just, something I wanted to jot down. Now, the story is based in the storyworld of World of Depleted ( http://worldofdepleted.com ), which has not had any of the movies or such released yet, just a journal from one of the characters, a few ARG movies and some trailers and discussion of upcoming films. The site did release a basic overview of the world to encourage others to create, well, I was inspired and thus begins the story of Josephine and Minako. Check here for the Living in th...

YAY I got my moving papers for TilttheTown! http://tiltthemovie.wordpress.com/tilt-the-town/ I am a full fledged resident now ;) I am red 42 on the map - backer 142 (give me a holler @geologylady on twitter anytime and come "visit" me). Where is this town and what does that mean? Wellllll - there was this Kickstarter Project (see here www.kickstarter.com/projects/PhilHolbrook/tilt-an-independent-thriller-from-brainerd-mn ) to fund this movie called TILT. Reading through the description and watching the little video gave me a heads up this looked to be a very cool movie. They just needed some crowdfunding help - ala Kickstarter. Now these are not just people begging for money and holding out hats (well maybe they do that too, I am not sure what they do when not insanely busy getting ready for the movie and creating a whole world ala TILTtheTown and not sure I would want to know what they do :-P anyhoos.... One of the beauties of Kickstarter is you get something for helpi...

Another interesting article - so derivative works - more legit these days?? www.techdirt.com/articles/20100524/0041319542.shtml

I have a side interest in transmedia type narratives and one of the "pieces" in the transmedia world is engaging fans and fanfiction sorta falls into that - that said - a couple of interesting articles have been making their rounds - - starting with www.deusexmachinatio.com/2010/05/fanfiction-threat-or-menace.html a great article linking fanfiction and transmedia one side note is many authors/creators are now taking the stance of working with fans, kinda, via "fanfiction is to be licensed as derivative, noncommercial fiction under the Creative Commons umbrella." (from http://www.jim-butcher.com/news/000354.php) Intteresting development for fanfiction... but some more info if you want to follow this more and if anyone else has links or resources on this topic, transmedia or just wants to talk about the topics and such - please share. www.jim-butcher.com/news/000354.php - author Jim Butcher's Take www.mercedeslackey.com/news.html - Author Mercedes lackey tak...
