  • 19:34 OMFG... Fellow geek-girls, did you see this???? tinyurl.com/npgqtj Raaaahhhh! #
  • 21:20 #WNW Sorry am so late... re: Magic in SF & F... anyone brought up Clarke's "Any technology sufficiently advanced appears as magic" ? #
  • 21:23 @HoodedMan How is there no price in "moving" energy? How do you mean? #WNW #
  • 21:28 @HoodedMan Ooh, I think I C. When I think of "price" I think of the more scientific matter/energy/etc. You mean like soul price? #WNW #
  • 21:31 On Clarke quote, I like a razor line of magic/science... like telepathy/telekinesis... healing magic = telekinesis on cellular lvl. #WNW #
  • 21:32 AURGH! TWEETDECK YOU SPITE ME W/ YOUR "Rate limit exceeded"!!!! #WNW #
  • 21:39 I'm back!! #WNW... #
  • 21:40 Maybe? #WNW Was going to talk medical science and vampires... giving medical reasons (and costs) for living on blood. FREX: HIV + Vamps #
  • 21:44 @PennyAsh #WNW I think our crew is just simply too cool for Twitter, so it crashes whenever we chat. ;) #
  • 21:45 @jessrosenbooks #WNW We're still talking about kinds of magic... I brought up the line of science/magic & when its blurred, basically. #
  • 21:50 @fannyfae What do you mean turning away from magic? Def a sad contemplation... #WNW #
  • 21:52 @jessrosenbooks Interesting! Is it pure science that your using or that fine line of unknown/theory science/magic? #
  • 21:53 Oops hashtagfail... @jessrosenbooks Interesting! Is it pure science that your using or that fine line of unknown/theory science/magic? #WNW #
  • 21:55 @HoodedMan That's interesting b/e so many fear/deny magic as nonexistant/evil... tho' can it be argued there are levels of science -tbc-#WNW #
  • 21:56 ... levels of science that will NEVER be understood by human intellect, so it would always be "magic" b/e it is always too advanced? #WNW #
  • 21:59 @jessrosenbooks Yes - exactly... though scientists are still trying to understand that, no? #
  • 22:00 hashtagfail again! sorry... @jessrosenbooks Yes - exactly... though scientists are still trying to understand that, no? #WNW #
  • 22:02 @HoodedMan But still transferring energy? Body must move energy, change it to action, use energy within to acmplsh something outside.? #WNW #
  • 22:06 I think some of us are leaving fiction & writing re: magic. I respect multiple belifs magic/science in RW. How do we write this? #WNW #
  • 22:08 Just a note, tho I'm not mod, we should respect ea. others' personal beliefs re: faith/sci. Shall we veer back to magic in _writing_? #WNW #
  • 22:11 RT @KATstotler - with the topic of magic/science has anyone discussed when fantasy becomes SF? Or the blurring of the genres? #WNW #
  • 22:12 @PennyAsh I have fun figuring out the biology of my fae creatures. i.e. why "allergic" to metals/iron. Plays w/ magic & science. #WNW #
  • 22:14 @jessrosenbooks #WNW but there are explanations as to why water heals. Body is 80% water. Star Trek & SG1 looked into this in some epis. #
  • 22:15 @_decode_ Good question! I do by blurring it w/ science & faith... along lines of Madelieine L'Engel. :) #WNW #
  • 22:17 @fannyfae Another good question! I prefer a mix... I have several books on the very old myths, some current Fae-Wicca books + imag. #WNW #
  • 22:17 @PennyAsh Fae = aliens - very cool concept!!!! #WNW #
  • 22:22 @PennyAsh #WNW Not just shelves, but marketing packages for publishers, tho' pushed by most big box bookstores. #
  • 22:28 @_decode_ #WNW ... Yay Bad-Ass Faeries.... forgive the shameless plug. ;) But urban fae do have a dif. magic definition & magic needs too #
  • 22:31 @octoberland13 Wednesday Night Writers... Twitter chat. We put #WNW in ea. chat post & Twitter search it to see the discussion thread. :) #
  • 22:33 Life can be pretty durned ridiculous... even more than TV or the fiction we write #WNW that's part of the reason I do write. I get control! #
  • 22:35 @KATstotler points out I really don't have control of my characters... as people who know me well, know. hehehe! #WNW #
  • 22:38 @fannyfae Had friends chased w/ bats by "good" Christians & nearly run down in cars. Been chased by pitchfork for stance on slaughter #WNW #
  • 22:40 #WNW Whole book-burning thing in MI; lots of scary, scary RL stuff. My char's may control things, but I feel more in control w/ fiction. #
  • 22:41 So... to keep on topic, how might personal experience affect & individualize one's written magic set? ;) #WNW #
  • 22:50 Do you guys want to continue/change topic to faerie & fae history for the night or stick to the defining magic/orig. magic? _decode_ ? #WNW #
  • 23:05 #WNW Character development is lots of fun... I wonder if we can manage "The Character Game" in a Twitter Chat? #
  • 23:07 Good chatting #WNW w/ y'all! Happy writing!!! #

  • 15:56 Oooooooohhhh - the sun has returned!!!!! Yay! #
  • 22:41 Sorry I'm late to #FNWC, but Hi! *Waves* I like blurring lines between magic and science (all sciences, not just technology). :) #
  • 22:51 @_decode_ Yeppers, I'm here. :) but lurking somewhat. Still eating dinner ;) #
  • 22:53 @CJtheWriter I want to say there are a few novels w/strong woman tribal leaders using magick... Celtic & Native American & African... #FNWC #
  • 22:54 @CJtheWriter ... search me if I can remember any titles, tho - so I apologize. Also, the women's tribe in Dune might fit the bill? #FNWC #
  • 22:55 @TheRaeRae Here, here... I have seen the anti-magick fanatics trope plenty... #FNWC #
  • 22:55 @TheRaeRae Happy Birfdays t'y'all then!!!!! :D #FNWC #
  • 22:57 @CJtheWriter LOL... def. doable. My partner Christy & I have an anti-magickal-being fanatical group... and I just burned that idea ;) #FNWC #
  • 23:00 @AuthorSaoirse_R Right! The key is consistency of "rules" in your own created world of magick. What's the cost? Stick 2 it! #FNWC #
  • 23:01 @to_paraphrase @_decode_ ...2 far, imho, would be magick w/o a cost. Can do anything w/ no repercussions at all. #FNWC #
  • 23:01 @_decode_ You mean like.... *SPARKLING*.... Sorry *Hugs* Couldn't resist!! ;) #FNWC #
  • 23:05 @_decode_ Gasp! Be still heart... ;) Devil's advcte: If they descended frm Lucifer, the Morning Star, Sparkling would be cool interp. #FNWC #
  • 23:06 @_decode_ Inanna uses that logic in her world. Sun = explosion was a Hollywood creation. www.bylightunseenmedia.com #FNWC #
  • 23:09 @to_paraphrase Good Q! I fall back on science. Is a transfer of mass involved? Energy/matter? Should be = in some way. #FNWC #
  • 23:11 Also on cost, I like to make sure it's related in body, mind & soul... what the magic affects, should have an= effect in the same realm. #
  • 23:12 Also on cost, I like to make sure it's related in body, mind, soul...what the magic affects, should have an= effect in the same realm. #FNWC #
  • 23:16 @Vyrdolak Agreed! Vampires have a lot of potential for interpretation and adventure. :) (says the girl planning a vamp. comic ;) ) #FNWC #
  • 23:16 @Vyrdolak *Waves!* See you 2x in 1 week!!!! Coolness! :) #
  • 23:18 @to_paraphrase Very cool! Yeah, Aurelio's story's coming in comic-like pix & I have an artist friend willing 2 help. Writing now :D #FNWC #
  • 23:18 @to_paraphrase What are you doing for your gr. nov.? :) #FNWC #
  • 23:21 @_decode_ Is there really "original" magic types left? >:) Interest. discussion! :D #FNWC #WNW #
  • 23:22 @to_paraphrase Ack - that sucks! Tell the TV execs to stop trying to eat your brain! ;) #FNWC #
  • 23:23 @Vyrdolak Oooooohhhh... we may have to talk in more than 140 char brsts! ;) #FNWC #
  • 23:37 @to_paraphrase There's the trick of killing someone, adding another character, and/or having something extra awful & unexpect. happen. #FNWC #
  • 23:44 Also, "ideas" can't be copyrighted. If you're writing your own true story, several people can have an idea and have v. dif. stories. #FNWC #
  • 23:46 @AuthorSaoirse_R I use Tweetdeck, which gives any of my searches their own columns. Love Tweetdeck. #FNWC #
  • 23:51 @to_paraphrase It took me a while to figure out all the cool stuff Tweetdeck does... & yes tweetdeck.com :) #FNWC #
  • 23:51 It has been a great discussion, all! Happy to meet & chat with you! #FNWC #
  • 23:53 @AuthorSaoirse_R Agreed - aim for the stars. (After you've polished it to perfection.... which is also very hard!) :) #FNWC #

  • 20:08 Hello - are there still people posting on #WNW? #
  • 20:09 @_decode_ Oooooh - I'm not that late, then! Wheeeee! *waves to #WNW tweeples*... #
  • 20:10 From my understanding, Mary Sues are so aggravating b/e they are A) cliched/simply unoriginal or B) Unbelievable as chars. #WNW #
  • 20:12 Facebook Note: Sorry for the about-to-be busy amt of "status updates"... I need to figure out how to temp. discnct Twitter from FB... Ideas? #
  • 20:21 @_decode_ I don't like to every say "absolutely" anything... There are some authors who could use a Mary Sue in a satire. #WNW #
  • 20:22 Tho' using a Mary Sue in a satire may defeat the issue of it being a Mary Sue.... #WNW #
  • 20:25 Hey, anyone interested in chatting about Writing, join in Wed. Night Writers by following #WNW We're talking Mary Sues. #
  • 20:25 @shadowsinstone Actually, Cooks Illustrated Magazines rec.s that the best way to cook brown rice is in the oven - in a dutch oven. #
  • 20:36 One of the other things on a Mary Sue test I took off of the SFWA page is if your char. has "cliched" flaws... #WNW #
  • 20:37 ... like a scar that doesn't make them look bad, or any abandoned orphan with a troubled child hood and is now superstrong now 4 it #WNW #
  • 20:43 >:) #WNW I like to have my characters learn to live with their flaws... and all the new ones I help develop. #
  • 20:44 @TheRaeRae Cool! thanks for the heads up for #FNWC! #WNW #
  • 20:50 @mlvalentine OMG-yeah! Tho' a lot harder to define a villainous M-S, I'd think?Uunless it's an anti -Sue, like @_decode_ brought up b4 #WNW #
  • 21:03 #WNW, I wouldn't call Bella a Mary Sue... She has flaws (for which I wish to slap her)... you can have an aggrav. char that's not a M-S #
  • 21:05 @Vyrdolak Holmes had flaws, tho', iirc. Watson really solved the cases. Holmes suffered hubris & not being as great as he thought. #WNW #
  • 21:06 @_decode_ I don't see it... So far, you haven't made me want to slap sense into you. ;) re: Bella's flaws. hehee! #
  • 21:10 @Vyrdolak >:p "Everyone" does NOT think Bella is "loveable"... ;) I have fellow "let's slap/kill/stake Bella" supporters! #WMW #
  • 21:25 @writefly #WNW - I think a M-S can work in a satire/humor. Outside that, hard b/e u want readers 2 care 4 ALL chars, & hard 2 care for M-S #
  • 21:32 #WNW A Q related to M-S: adding a disability (like @TheRaeRae mentioned)... doing that w/ respect... how do you keep it from backfiring? #
  • 21:37 Did #WNW freeze??? :( I can't see any updates outside my @replies and regular feed. #
  • 21:42 @_decode_ @mlvalentine ... it would appear, indeed, that #WNW has broken da Twitterverse... *sniffle* #
  • 21:44 @kellyaharmon I believe so - but currently we broke it. None of the #WNW replies are showing up. #
  • 21:47 @kellyaharmon There's one on Friday night, too... #FNWC (Friday Night Writer's Chat) #
  • 21:47 @Vyrdolak BTW - *WAVES* Hello!!!! How are you????? #
  • 21:50 @Vyrdolak It seems we "broke" it...... :( None of the thingies are showing up in the feed/search... #
