I wrote my newspost several days ahead of schedule for the first time ever!
First things first:
THE DRUNK DUCK AWARDS NEEDS VOLUNTEERS!
The DD Awards are always great fun, and Judges and Awards Presenters are still needed!

Quackcast 271 - Pitface’s tales of ribaldry
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, May 17, 2016 LISTEN!
Art by Ozoneocean
What makes the “meat” of a story? What makes you fall in love with it, keep coming back for more watches or reads or whatever? I contend it has nothing to do with conflict or culminations or climaxes, those are merely generic structural plottings that are ...
Quackcast 253 - narrative order and the flashback
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Jan. 12, 2016 LISTEN!
Doing stories that start with the climax, then flash back, tell what happened to get there: the old narrative style of switching the first few chapters around to make a more interesting story.
Sometimes it works GREAT because it throws you right into the middle of things and you ...
The Freewheelin' 2015
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Dec. 28, 2015
Two-thousand fifteen started off with Kroatz wishing everyone in the Drunk Duck forums “growth, satisfaction, and purpose, even if it comes with an almost equal amount of suffering and loss.” I do not believe any statement made in this last year comes as close to this to sum up the ...
Quackcast 235 - Climax of the Climaxes
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Sept. 8, 2015 LISTEN!
Pitface joins Ozone and Banes again for the second and last part of the climax cast! It's the climax of the climax casts!! We discuss what people think about climaxes in stories, their own and those they watch or read. It's hard to write up to climaxes ...
Quackcast 234 - Climactic Climaxes!
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Sept. 1, 2015 LISTEN!
What's best? One big climax, multiple small ones, early, or delayed? How much should you work UP to a climax? What about anticlmactic events, how important are they?
Climaxes are really important in stories. Often you work up to them over the course of a whole series, but ...
Quackcast 228 - Conflicting conflicts conflict
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, July 21, 2015 LISTEN!

This time we're talking about conflict in webcomic writing, and any writing in general really. Conflict is one of the main drivers of a story, so you pretty much have to have it in there somewhere! But how do you approach it? Do you set ...
Lots of news today! Better read it all or no dessert!
skoolmunkee at 8:56AM, May 11, 2010Hey guys, sorry the news is a bit late this week! I have been on holiday and it is hard to do newsposts while driving around Scotland. Sunday's newspost might be on time though. Maybe!
OK I do not have a lot of time so I will make this ...
DD Store, PW ads, milestones, and interviews!
skoolmunkee at 12:29PM, April 21, 2010So how is the DrunkDuck Store working out for everybody? There's a lot of good stuff up there, but the smart folks will be telling their readers and fans that they have a store and it should be visited and stuff bought from! There is a thread about the ...
