Oolite Bulletins

Hey!

Looking very forward to this, Drew! It will be a bit of a kick for me to sort out some of my own stuff - for various reasons haven't been able to get anything done on that front in the last several months...

This is going to be great reading, I'm sure!

Happy Christmas everyone

Good luck, Drew - looking very forward to this, and think 5K per week is doable - take it easy though! - sure no one's going to be narked if it takes a bit longer .

Very best wishes!

I think so! The Dr. has kindly allowed me (and all other Ooliters) to use the Ray and his other creations in some fiction. The short story is going to be a back-story for the pilot in Petra - Sola'Kiki Miz-Miz. I've been reading up a little on Stalinist era gulags, and, in particular, the tattoos th...

Hi. I've read through this quite a few times now, and I'm not very happy with the last half of the story - it feels rushed and could do with more description/explanation. Not totally convinced the whole Suki/Axel and escape part works too well, either - at least not in the way I have approached it. ...

Excellent! With this and Finis coming up, we've got some great stuff to look forward to over those autumn/winter months - or summer, for the antipodean eliters! (you lucky folk! )

Cheers Disembodied - will do that.

Hello all.

Who created the Ray Mk 1 and Military Ray? Would they have any objections to my using it in some fiction I'm working on at the moment?

Cheers.

Totally agree with Wyvern- only just read this last night- loved it! Made me want to listen to some Grateful Dead n Led Zep;-). Gave up the colitas some years back, though;-). Coyote is a superb creation.

Hey! This is superb Drew - only about half way through - slow to get started It was my reading of the novel that was slow to get started, not the novel itself, of course! - loved the physical descriptions of the Thargs and the opening with their communications/activities around the wreckage of the ...

Hey! This is superb Drew - only about half way through - slow to get started, and wanted to read through the other novels again first. I'm reading the PDF version - don't think it's been mentioned yet (though I've only scanned through the previous messages), but pg. 53, about half way down - "J...

Just added parts 6 and 7 - all done now, though sure there's plenty of tidying up/editing left to do.

Ran out space on the initial post, so had to paste the final parts above.

At some point, I'd like to change a few of the system names used so that they are actual Oolite planets.

Cheers!

6. Sol turned to Philips – a bemused look drawn across her face. “Well, I don’t know about Greg and Sukes, but looks like we have a doctor!?” “So it seems” replied Philips. “I can live with a doctor, but definitely could do without any more dogfights where we’re outnumbered five-to-one”, he replied...

To be honest, I really haven't given software much of a thought - most of the stuff I've done recently (mainly writing lyrics up for my band) hasn't really required all that much other than a very basic word-processor. You're obviously way more experienced on the whole writing thing, though: I'd lik...

Hey - very new to writing stories, but I just use Word 97! Have done for many essays/songs/reports! As for character development, I just scribbled profiles/motivations/ideas down in a scrap book. Nothing fancy. Did draw up a couple of nice-ish plans for the ships I'd be using (so I could visualize t...

And part 5.... nearly done now...
