Advice for New Writers




Teens write, read, meet and collaborate on fiction over at Figment. I'm pitching the site on a column where an older, experienced writer teaches a new generation how to complain, brood, and properly nurse resentments so they mature into depression. This is vital to the writing experience and a must for young scribes. (Picture: scienceblogs.com)

As long as you go about your examples better than John Kricfalusi, I'm good. I would love a site like this. Good luck with the pitch. Consider me one of the first in line.

On second thought, Luke, perhaps young writers need the experience of overcoming their own depression thoughts.

Adversity culls out the weak authors.

Why are they at Figment and not at their usual hide out, FanFiction.net?

This could well be upscale NYC teen fan fiction.

Upper crust fan fiction? Sounds like a type of fan fic I'd enjoy. Speaking of fan fic, there is only one I've read, and it just might be the only one I read. It's a 37 chapter animaniacs fan fic entitled "Family." Oh is it good, take a read, it's about the Warners growing up, experiencing hard times, and finaly breaking in to stardom in their show "Animaniacs."It.continues through their lives. And it has stopped on around season three of the show. Here it is.

Warning, strong language at times, but over all addicting to read.

Thank you, Luke.

As Mr. Spock might say: fascinating.
