Meet the Modders

man, i try to be polite and non sexist but a beeing with four eyes sound like : Al Bundy: Women should have three breasts – two in front and one in the back for dancing.

Mine name Goldflash, and I'm from space. I fought in several wars that I made up and I drink beer. This one time, I was a Civ 3 modder, but now I'm a PIRATE. Not a space pirate, just the regular kind. Just because I'm from space doesn't mean I want to work there. Have you ever been to space? Freaking cold. Also airless.
 
yes, i remember space, a location full of intergalactical ducks; if one is hit by sucha duck it is smashed to pieces. i hope you were in some sort of cockpit and not on your own out there...:dubious:
 
Just got the magazine :)

Well, it has my story in it, and i am happy with that. From what little i read of the other content it appears to be rather of bad quality, but this has both advantages and disadvantages for me. And while the disadvantages are obvious, the advantage is that, hopefully, my work will seem even more striking in comparison.

Next step will be to become a member of the Macedonian (Greek ;) ) writer's society, since they also request work published in magazines to exist for one to apply for membership.
 
Macedonian? Don't let christos read that or he'll explain to us whyever you're using that name wrongly this time.
 
Well Thessalonike is the capital of the greek region of Macedonia ;)

I just got an email from another printed magazine, saying they accepted a work of mine. It will appear in their 13nth issue... Happy about that! :)
 
translate the shortest story and post it here so we can also see what is all about....if you only keep us in touch with what happens in the real world it is not so much fun, as it would be if...
 
Started writing (wrote the first 6 pages) of The Room. It is generally a story of someone who appears to be either the last person alive on earth, OR is so lost in his delusional thinking that lives in such a post-apocalyptic world in his imagination.
Anyway it won't last long, the story starts a week after "the great Change" (the disappearance of all other people from Thessalonike, and possibly everywhere else too) and the supplies of still-edible food won't last for more than two more weeks.
The narrator is 32. There is some word play here, since effectively he is in the end of 1/3 of his life, much like he is in the end of the first of three weeks in the world.
The room, from which the story gets its title, is a room in the most luxurious part of the city, in the most impressive and vast old building there, in its absolute edge of its final floor. That room appears to be the only one where artificial light has not been extinguished. But there is more there.

Anyway, this is a very melancholic piece. I plan to finish it in 2 more days = 2 more attempts. Probably will reach 20 A4 pages at most.
 
you bandit.....;)

ps also try to make out of your story a love story, create a girl that survives in the similar way.....and let them meet after many troubles....just to conquer some ladies around....also part of the public...what do you say??
 
My thesis topic has changed from culture and medicine from a disease perspective to culture and medicine from an emotions perspective.

Apparently, disease has been more or less covered, where as the history of the emotions is a new, cutting edge, and lucrative field in history. I might get funding from the Wellcome Trust... :D

I'd love to read that story Kyr. I've often wondered, if I woke up one day and everyone was just gone, what would I do, and where would I go... I like the somewhat supernatural element to it though... the room with electricity, and maybe more...
 
Where you'd go? Argentina, seeing is believing. A full-fledged personality cult to the name of a deceased leader in the 21st century in a white-populated country is something worth watching.
 
Haha! That would be interesting, but beyond my, ehm, historical area of comfort. It will still be Early Modern HRE. I'm thinking of seeing how humour was thought of, expressed, and represented before the Reformations, and after the Reformations. I'm thinking of calling it "The Reformation of Humour".
