LOL It's a modern day detective novel now (i'm going to ressurrect Steinbeck for something entirely different) We're discussing now the best way to go with the website - I want to go a pulp route, pumping out a short novel or two a month, and my writer friends will be releasing two a year.

So far we have one writer who's focusing on a very British type of humour (think Rankin)
One whose going to go a horror/action route
And I'm going crime/thriller

We're still getting all the materials together and discussing things, but 2010 looks like a fun year for writing.

Well it's not like any of the earlier short stuff. This is all pulp, fast, hard and thoroughly absorbent (I still love that line and I refuse not to use it as often as possible).

We'll be focusing on humour, horror action and crime at first. And there will be T-Shirts! Goddamn it! And mugs, and possibly commeorative plates of some description

[zelda_pinwheel]

sign me up for a commemorative plate !

(actually, i really would buy a t-shirt. maybe 3 t-shirts, even.)

They might have horrible monsters on them though And anyway, you can have a free t-shirt or mug when they're ready (along with quite a few other peole here, I'll have to make a list. This could end up bankrupting me )

you're so sweet ! but we'll just see when they are ready, okay ? i wouldn't want "selling" t-shirts to bankrupt you. maybe you can just sell it to me at cost, or something.

(oh, and make sure you have girly sizes ! i just hate it when the only sizes are those giant man t-shirts !)

We'll be running it as a business, but not a traditional one. That's one of our 'bill of rights' we're working on. 1. If it's not fun we don't do it. 2. Creativity before profit. 3. Free sandwiches every alternate thursday.

that's not right. isn't that illegal ? it should be. how on earth did you get stuck with that schedule ? perhaps this would be a good time for you to come down with a case of, ah, "swine flu".
