Daring to Do Something Different
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, May 29, 2017
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. I have met many young men who have joined the military and each time I look into their eyes, I see a brave person who is able to confront fears I never had to face at that age. Some of them may ...
The Comedy Plot, Toolbox Edition (part one)
Banes at 12:00AM, May 11, 2017Hello again!
I'm gonna continue for the next two or three weeks about “The Comedy Toolbox” approach to comedy structure.

Yin and Yang – Creation and Deluge: Archetypal Motifs part 3
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 6, 2017

Where to start; in the past, present, or future? Will you structure your story in a linear way or do something more complex? This was the topic of Hyena Hell's newspost on Friday and in this Quackcast Pitface, Banes, Tantz, and I discuss and mull over the ideas ...
Start... Uh... Where?
HyenaHell at 1:02AM, Feb. 10, 2017
Huh. You're still here? I'll be damned.
Well then. Let's just go ahead and pick up where we left off last week, which if I recollect, was the beginning. Or at least, that's where you stepped into my world. Now, how you think about beginnings has ...
Hippie Van’s last-ever newspost
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Jan. 27, 2017
Hey everyone! And farewell, also.
When I started writing this newspost I went looking for the first one I ever did. It turns out it was in November of 2013 - that’s over three years of Friday newsposts! I don’t think I’ve ever kept a paying job that ...
