Normally, I wouldn't post this here, as City of Stories is not OT for this forum. But this issue is special... it contains part 1 of the CoX Writers Clinic as a feature segment following the story. Basically, it's things aspiring writers should keep in mind when putting fingers to keyboard. Comments always welcome.
Hey everyone! Issue 7 is better late than never! Post production was a little rushed, so if there are any screw-ups, I'm sorry in advance. First of all, we've got an excellent little story from PlasmaStream, which is actually the introduction to her longer work "Impact Wave". I really liked this one for its creative use of second person. Following that, we have a long but very useful feature segment: the CoX Fan Fiction Writers Clinic. Basically over the past months I've read a TON of fiction that is very good, but needs just a touch to make it great. That's understandable, given that few of you are professional writers and it may have been a while since High School creative writing classes. Anyway, this segment gives you a good place to start and can also be a good refresher for even some of us with an old hand at writing. I hope you get something out of it.
Stay tuned. We've got something pretty special planned for next week.
