Need proofreaders/critiques of a Wildthyme draft

feeds@yuku.com (Zagreus) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:11:28 GMT

Hey all. At around 3am I finished the draft of the Iris Wildthyme story I was thinking of submitting for the next collection when they announce it, and I was wondering if anyone around here would like to give it a read through for general opinion and/or detailed critique and suggestions.

If so, just give me a pm and I'll email you a copy.

Thanks for your time,

Bloody hell... it's been quiet around here!

Anyway, just for the sake of er... showboating or something. I was once again reunited with the light of my life this week. It was wonderful. We did touristy stuff.

Panorama: Whatever Happened to People Power?

feeds@yuku.com (ushas the rani) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 21:32:00 GMT

In Whatever Happened to People Power?, Panorama discovers that with increasing frequency in the UK, those rights have been eroded and, in some cases, taken away entirely.

I watched this just before Torchwood and I was shocked by the sheer scale of the abuses against people's civil liberties as their rights were repeatedly violated by the police and then it was revealed that not only was the government not doing anything about it but they were...

feeds@yuku.com (ushas the rani) — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:43:38 GMT

I've had an idea for a novella about death, dying and undeath and thought about opening the book with a zombie teenager in a US school opening fire at anyone and everyone he sees, is this too strong, too much, given the number of school shootings there's been in the past 10-15 years? I want it to be a kind of twisted revenge kick on the kid's behalf because he's found out he's undead and can't really die anymore and needs to feed on the lifeforce of the dying and in...

People may be able to taste words

feeds@yuku.com (ushas the rani) — Fri, 29 May 2009 05:45:00 GMT

We are all capable of "hearing" shapes and sizes and perhaps even "tasting" sounds, according to researchers.

This blending of sensory experiences, or synaesthesia, they say, influences our perception and helps us make sense of a jumble of simultaneous sensations.

Oxford University scientists found that people associate lower-pitched sounds with larger and more rounded shapes.

got a new idea for a book I want to write

feeds@yuku.com (ushas the rani) — Sun, 24 May 2009 19:14:49 GMT

a series of short stories detailing life before, during and after three global catastrophes known as The Three Sisters that change Earth forever, wiping out many species and creating new ones through rapid genetic mutation. I've only got the first two stories outlined so far, but I think it's a pretty cool idea as it brings together so many little ideas into one big box of ideas and maybe out of it something good might emerge. It's kind of like Dominion (without the rats) meets...

A police force is urging members of the public to report anyone wearing a suspiciously large amount of 'bling' during the recession.

The Gloucestershire Constabulary hopes to weed out criminals who enjoy flaunting their ill-gotten gains.
Chief Constable Dr Timothy Brain said: "In the current time of financial uncertainty, those who live a lavish lifestyle with no discernible, legitimate income become even more apparent."

The officer captured on video pushing a man during the G20 protests in London has been suspended, police have said.

Ian Tomlinson, 47, died from a heart attack minutes after the incident on 1 April, near the Bank of England.

The Metropolitan Police suspended the officer after the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) called for that action to be taken.

The IPCC has launched a criminal investigation into the death.
