CÓMO CREAR Y ALIMENTAR UN BLOG | Un blog creado para el curso GARATU 258 Fanfic demographics - Google Forms Ralan.com - Home Page Write or Die by Dr Wicked The Journey, Not the Destination: The Sanctifying Effect of Travel in ‘Grim Fandango’ | Christ and Pop Culture For a long time, there has been a Holy Grail of sorts among the gaming community—the game Grim Fandango. Constantly praised as the best adventure game, the most intuitive point-and-click interface, and the finest work ever produced by Tim Schafer (Psychonauts, Full Throttle, Broken Age), it has long been sought after by those familiar with its legend. However, the game had not sold well on its release by LucasArts in 1998, and as a result it was discontinued (along with most of LucasArts adventure line) a few years later. As it had only been available on discs, and those who had them were reluctant to part with them, copies of the game became elusive and expensive. However, Sony, which recently purchased the rights, re-released a re-mastered version of the game this past year, making it finally available to many curious fans, including myself. Grim Fandango is a bizarre point-and-click adventure game, set in the eighth underworld of the Land of the Dead. Like this: Like Loading...

Fanfiction Search This (all in all rather primitive) search engine is an (actually not so new) idea to rank stories based on how many people have the same stories in their favorites or communities. This is a first draft for private use only. It is neither valid html nor utf8 friendly. In fact I mangled the character sets when I moved the database to this server. Submit your fanfiction.net user-id or a story-id of a story you like. The result ranks the stories by how many of these users and communities list them. To filter the results you can add filter terms for category/fandom and summary/characters. Examples 1. Search Form

From the archive, 3 September 1973: Hobbit and Lord of the Rings author J. R. R. Tolkien dies | From the Guardian John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892 - 1973) photographed in 1967. Source: AP One of the American science fiction writer Ray Bradbury's most popular short stories imagines that all the creatures of literary mythology – the unicorn, the fairy, the witch, and the darker inventions of Edgar Allan Poe - have been driven from the earth by an advancing technological mentality. They survive for a time, cowering together on a distant planet. But man decides to explore the planet, and as the first space ship lands, the creatures perish because the human imagination has become irrevocably incapable of conceiving their existence. That seemed a plausible thing to fancy, in the immediately post war years when the story was written. The adult fairy tale had been in decline since Victorian times. We shall probably have to wait for a critical explanation of this imaginative turnabout until the whole Tolkien experience has been digested.

“Sponsored” by my husband: Why it’s a problem that writers never talk about where their money comes from Here’s my life. My husband and I get up each morning at 7 o’clock and he showers while I make coffee. By the time he’s dressed I’m already sitting at my desk writing. He kisses me goodbye then leaves for the job where he makes good money, draws excellent benefits and gets many perks, such as travel, catered lunches and full reimbursement for the gym where I attend yoga midday. All that disclosure is crass, I know. There’s a special version of this masquerade that we writers put on. I attended a packed reading (I’m talking 300+ people) about a year and a half ago. None of this takes away from his brilliance. Example two. After prep school, she’d earned two creative writing degrees (Iowa plus an Ivy). I was dumbfounded. In my opinion, we do an enormous “let them eat cake” disservice to our community when we obfuscate the circumstances that help us write, publish and in some way succeed. How can I be so sure? I completed my third novel in eight months flat.
