Fantasy Scribbler (aka Robert Marston Fanney) - Bestseller update:
"Since I last posted, Luthiels Song has been added to a second bestseller list -- Fairies and Elves -- and now ranks #26 in that catagory. The #51 in Wizards and Magic seems to have remained despite the fluctuating nature of amazon rankings. This is great news! Especially now that I'm looking forward to publishing "The War of Mists" soon! Best wishes and blessings to everyone! ~ Rob"

The Pyromantics - Halloween Writers Comp News:
"We have decided to lift the word limit due to a number of people expressing interest in submitting a longer piece. We feel this is only right as the main point of the competition is to get everyone sharing and we don't want to discourage anyone or make anyone chop their work up to make it fit.
There will not be any preference given to shorter or longer pieces. The important thing is that you guys write what you want to write. Hope this all makes sense, any questions- you know where to find us! ~ Cat"
Halloween Contest Update!:
"Well Pyromantic chums, we have had lots of pledges of entry into the Halloween writing contest... and soon, I will be able to tell you what the prize will be, right now I'm stuck between two and they're both ace I can't decide which to go for.... it's a tough life over at Pyromantics HQ!
Ofcourse, it's not about the winning really, it's about the sharing of work. That's what all this is about- getting everyone writing. It would be fabulous to receive entries from our more regular contributors as well as from members who we haven't heard from before. It's all about growing the community and trusting eachother enough to share our darkest thoughts and imaginings.
SO, we have about two weeks to go... the deadline is, as you all know, the 31st October but send us your piece as soon as you like, that way we can put it up and you can start getting feedback! ~ Cat"

Website w/Great Writer Resources - Needs More:
Good morning, all! I have a brand spanking new website that launched last night: www.minnettemeador.com which has a great pulldown list of resources for writers, including reference sites, how to's, agents, publishers, synopsis, etc. These are sites I have used over the last several years for my own writing that I thought might help others. If you know of a good reference that is not on the list, please let me know and I can add it.
Also included in the website is an "Authors Page" which has some of my favorite authors' website links including Piers Anthony, Spider Robinson, Terry Pratchett, Robert Heinlein, Douglas Adams, Mary Stewart and many, many more. I've love to expand this list as well, so please send me your links and I'll add them. Any comments on the site would be appreciated! Have a great day!

Darea - An introduction:
I thought I would post this brief introduction by Johanna (aka Darea) in hopes that one of the readers of this blog might help her in finding a publisher who would be interested in the novel she is translating:
"I don't write sci-fi, although I do write stories. At the moment I am translating a French sci-fi novel by Pierre Bordage into English, and one of the main reasons joined the NWSFS Friends Space was in the hope that I would find a publisher who would be interested in this novel."
Drop her a line if you can help
