Jeannie, I have no way of knowing that you talk like you write, but I believe that most of us do. Writing is a way of expressing ourselves and I think most of...
I see your point and have no issue with a woman's only group/club/magazine for any reason. If your goal is to publish stories written by women only, more power...
I am not sure why Watterston objects, but I think you pointed out a couple of possible examples of why. He writes a wholesome comic and didn't want to license...
I have attended numerous cons and have seen a variety of races represented. My first question would be do you go to cons that are not in your city/state?. If...
Spider, got your reply and wrote a long missive back, but they system logged me off before I could send it and I lost it. Will rewrite and send it tomorrow....

Well, if merchandising always trivializes the product it seeks to market, Christianity must be pretty darn trivial by now. It's hard to think of a single thing...
Beth, For what it's worth, I think it's a great idea to filter for content that way, rather than filtering by authorship the way you have proposed to do...

If you're talking to me, it's Pamela, not Patricia. I went thorugh this at a job for years when a woman named Pat and i both worked there and people got us...
Actaully I've seen all races at the local Anime cons here, though mainly teenagers these days. The last one I had to work a table for Ravencon (a literary...
To tell you the truth, Joe, we wouldn't have any way to know whether a submitter was male or female, so we have no choice but to trust that the writer is a...
LOL. I wondered about transgendered authors, and I figured I didn't care *that* much to worry about it. If I think the writer is a woman, that's really all...
... Ain't that the truth. None of this was even my concept, nor is it my website. I'm just the fiction editor. Pretty-Scary.net was started and is run by 3...
It's cool, Beth, I'm just giving you a hard time. It really doesn't matter to me; I'm just playing devil's advocate. My only point is that if I or anyone else...
Thanks, Joe. And I'm positive a man only publication would catch a lot of hell. Beth http://www.elizabethblue.com http://www.midatlantichorror.org ... From:...
Ms. Blue, Excuse me. I appreciate you saying that. It makes it some better that you do acknowledge it is unfair and a double standard is at work. To have you ...
Isn't that called "Playboy"? Sorry, couldn't resist, but there are a number of publications out there that are de facto boys' clubs. Did anybody catch that...

I had the same trouble down in Virginia in the 1950's. I got chewed out by my stepfather because I was friends with a black girl. Later on I wrote her story. ...
When I was a little kid in Wagner, Oklahoma I was playing with a bunch of kids. We stood on this earth mound and would run up it and try to push each other...
One of the things I admired most about Jimi Hendrix (so much so that there is dialogue about it in my novel) was that he usually simply identified himself as...
Jane, There was a place we used to go in the Inner City that had the best jukebox I've ever found. I had good Jazz on it from Dixieland to progressive. They...
We all have memories, things, that through the years, have shaped us. I lived in Alameda, CA in my youth. A city of whites in a sea of blacks. My grandmother...
I read your lovely but sad story and can understand. I lived in the south for a few years and was insulted for one reason only, I was from the North. My...
I have learned, after many years, that people are afraid of each other. They try to act superior and look for ways to say they are better than another, yet...
