All right, I've got to know: Are there any publishing outfits here? In a town this size, the chances seem slim, but for all I know, there's a paper no one's mentioned to me. I've got a story or two started, and if I could see them in print, I wouldn't mind dropping my asking price to zero cents a word. It won't hurt them to sit in handwritten ( Read more... )

You're a writer too? I don't actually miss having a publisher here though... [he never makes his deadlines... his editor has to come after him literally] Plus there is no money here, you know.

[The reply is incredibly wry; why everyone's hung up on the issue of money, Kay's not sure.] If I was publishing for the money, I'd've stopped years ago.

So what do you write?

Well, you need mention money... [and anyway he likes money a lot as that's what he zone in on]

Me? Well, mostly folklore. I collect and research them. And you?

It's a pay cut of two cents per word, and there's no rent to make. Losing out on a profit isn't going to break me.

Sounds interesting. I mostly write science fiction these days, but I like weird tales of any kind.

I guess so... Not having to pay the rent is one of the good things here.

Sci-fi sounds interesting too. Have you checked to see if they have your work in the library here? These days? What did you write before?

It's a pretty nice change, all right.

Oh, I used to write a lot of sword and sorcery stories as well. And they've got a couple of my anthologies here. So what kind of folklore are you interested in?

[Voice] youkai_buster May 21 2011, 19:16:22 UTC

Yeah, it's nice not having to hear Yoko-chan nag about not having enough money for the rent and other things... [though he does miss his housekeeper]

Really? I should check them out then! What name do you go by? Japanese folklore mostly seeing as that's where I'm from. Though I do also study a bit of Western folklore.
