Ack! Spell check for goodness sake! And IF you ARE going to use Discworld please, PLEASE spell it properly as well.

It's just the rough draft Mainly getting my ideas on paper (or in this case bandwith) I don't know why I spelled it Diskworld, I knew it was Discworld -Spyhunter- Cunfuzzeling myself |

I think you are partly to blame / thank for getting my thinking and writing head back into gear .
I dropped a novel I am writing in favour of playing a computer game, then got invovled with Heroscape. The novel was stuck at 18,000 words, for about 6 months+. I've just printed it out again, will give it a read through and start making an effort to write again. It's too far down the line to just give up!!!! Thanks! |

I really hope my humor came across, because I didn't really want to chastize you, just yank your chain about the Discworld thing (which I knew you knew how to spell). Getting to give you a hard time about the rest of it was just bonus ~Aldin, evilly He either fears his fate too much or his desserts are small That dares not put it to the touch to gain or lose it all ~James Graham |

I know you've already started, but it's late, I'm bored, and I figured I'd suggest the World's Fairs. Interesting stuff. You'd get to talk about all sorts of 'sci-fi' contraptions.
If you're not familiar with world's fairs, before TV and radio the fairs were HUGE deals. They were sort of like Disney World + science fair + more. They become popular during the Industrial Revolution (late 1800s). Trivia time: President McKinley was assassinated at the 1901 World's Fair. The wound did not necessarily have to be fatal. There was a machine on display for the first time that could have saved him. It was an X-ray machine. Maybe it didn't help that the only doctor around to tend to him was a gynecologist. I took a college course on the Gilded Age. Interesting stuff: World's Fairs, Niagara Falls, environmentalism, lots of people making ridiculous money, employers began to realize that keeping your workers healthy and happy was a good idea, bridge technology was booming. Oh joy! It was going great until someone decided to start WW1. Check out Gulp's Glyphs Not Worth Grabbing and Gulp's Abilities Not Worth Activating!

-Quick question: How is that a research paper? We just got done with our 7 page research papers this quarter, and I was pretty sure fiction was not allowed in the arena. How does it work with you guys?

The topics he was deciding on was a paper over the Holocaust (the real research paper) Or a creative writing assignment (what I'm doing) It still has to be researched and quoted and all that fun stuff, but a lot more enertaining to write (and grade) than a regular paper I hope that explains |
