Hi everyone, would my wonderful novel that I've written be considered a fantasy other than just plain old fashion Science Fiction? http://uwajtp01.blogspot.com/2009...

I've created a few twitter bots that might be of interest here: @storytelling - news about aspects of storytelling, @del_rpg - rpg related news, @webmmo - web-based rpg news. They are just gateways to delicious feeds, but they are very handy.

I just released my first novel - Prince of the Elves - through BookSurge. I know, I know. A parent always thinks their's is the best. But really, it is a great story.

So what do you use to write?
I plot, jot ideas and notes, write snippets, and write chapters mostly in a Google Sites wiki. But I often post stuff to Evernote via my phone, or jot stuff in a Moleskine. I used to do the ideas and plotting in Google Notebooks and a Moleskine and write in Google Docs. Presently, I'll probably keep my first draft in the wiki, then eventually move to Google Docs. - Bill Bittner
Most of the work happens in my brain, usually while listening to music. I scribble here and there, and then "draft" by writing it down, pretty much in rough draft form. I have some cursory outline stuff, but not much. When it comes to rewriting and organizing, I use Scrivener. It's the best program for me, and sort of forces me to be organized and think strategically. It's Mac only, which suits me fine. :) - Natania
like everyone (it seems), I use evernote to gather ideas, dramatica to form and shape the idea, and pages to write. - Eric Dorsett
I'm with Kirasha lately. Notebook to word. Rinse. Repeat. - Jeremy Lee James
For quick ideas, I send emails to myself, 'save to draft' is a great function. - sergiooo
Pen and paper, or a standard word processor. Sometimes even just a text editor. It's easier to think with a pen in my hand. - Elizabeth
