    Hashing out an article on how to discuss writing without being a douche.

    I’d love to see more non-sporkly articles on here. I’m simply swamped or I’d contribute, but Ursula K. Le Guin is visiting my school in about a month. If I could get my hands on a recorder, I could try to transcribe her speaking and post it to the website.

    If I could afford a recorder I would send it to you just to get that! I love Le Guin :D

    I’ve thought about writing an article, not spork, for here, but I’ve never thought of anything I’m ‘expert’ enough at to write convincingly.

    Does your cell phone have a recorder feature? A lot of non-smart phones have recording capabilities. (No pressure, just if you wanted to record it, your phone might work.)

    This. Also, school eats all of my time at the moment.

    Not one that I trust, anyways. I’ll ask around if anyone on my floor happens to have something.

    Well, I’m currently working on a tounge-in-cheek “guide” titled So You Want to be a Love Interest? It started out being serious and then slowly turned into satire. I’m glad to see this discussion — I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to post these things here.

    Hm, I’m thinking of writing something about that Lang’s Syndrome thing that I mentioned in my Marked review.

    Tiger’s Curse Spork: Part 1

    Bad YA romance fits nicely with Valentine’s Day.

    BlackStar’s article is up but right under Forest Purple’s, and I swear that it wasn’t there a couple of hours ago. Did something happen?

  20.  

    I think she posted hers a couple minutes/seconds before I posted Forest’s (though I didn’t notice it until a little bit after Forest’s had been posted). Two articles were not supposed to be posted at once like that, though.

    I was sick all day yesterday, so I’m just seeing this now.

    For future reference, there’s a Timestamp module in the lower right corner of the article editor. Changing the date to the next day (the last box) will set the article to reappear on the homepage the next day.

    Everyone who can submit articles can use the Timestamp module to schedule articles for days when you’re not necessarily here, but there’s still articles to be posted.

    I didn’t know that was as thing. Hope you’re feeling better.

    Lily Sporks Modelland — Part 14: The Diabolical Divide, W.O.W., and One Bee-yotchhh

    by lilyWhite

    This one has been waiting a while. I’ve been super busy (still am in fact). Sorry about that!

    There’s another one pending too if anyone with publishing powers has the time to look at it.

    Thank you, I’m glad of it. Let’s hope the second one about morality and first fanfiction chapter are equally appreciated.
    I’m writing a third one about magic right now.

    Are we so low on material that we don’t even have stuff for a daily spork update?

    Feel free to write something, Orlando. :wink

    I have four articles lined up at the moment: a few points about fantasy; “Kairosis and Inheritance”, a discussion of how Paolini’s side-characters show greater development as individuals than the characters in centre-spotlight, a short piece about the “straight man” in fantasy (i.e. the innocent or naive transplanted into a world about which he knows nothing, e.g. Harry Potter/Luke Skywalker/Frodo Baggins archetype); and a revision/rewrite of an old essay that was never posted to II, about constructing languages.

    I just need time to write them.

    @Orlando

    No. The editors are so low on time, that we don’t have time to proofread and post articles often.

    I’ve got a good chunk of the next CoB sporking done, I just need to finish and proofread it. I’ve been really busy with Camp NaNo this month, so I haven’t had as much time to work on the sporking as I’d like. But I should have it done by the end of next week, and then get back on track. Sorry.

    Well, I had another two articles I was thinking about writing, a second one about magic and one about endings, and the rest of the fanfiction which is all ready, but I was taking it slowly, since I have already four Pending texts, didn’t want to overflow the waiting list.

    ^^I moved it to be posted later because there were a bunch of articles ahead of it that are set to be posted every couple of days. If it needs to be posted right away, you could change the sides l dates the other articles are supposed to post because there is one scheduled for today.
