Dogscoff, fair comment and yes, if I knew I was facing certain death, any female within grabbing distance would be in for trouble I can tell you.

BUT

I should have qualified my statement to say that "nuclear weaponry being fired at me, where the only chance I have of avoiding being incinerated in a bLast of actinic fire, means that I have to move really really very very quickly indeed, always dampens my libido".

If certain death, sure thing, I would rather go on the job than sitting under the table gibbering in terror

dogscoff I am writing as well..

Its damn hard... If I must tell you... I am thinking that working on characters, and an overall story line first is the way to go..

then write a chapter on one of the ideas in the story line... Then another and another...

Then link them..

Most stories are in 3rd person. So the goal to a chapter seems to be keep the view point from just one character and one time line...

I am looking at the books I enjoy and seeing how they are structured...

But it is hard to write everyday...

We can chat off line about it... Pass on tips etc... No need to reinvent the wheel or for both of us to commit the same mistakes

May I recommend Stephen King's excellent book On Writing? It has lots of wonderful tips, and the guy is a master author.

Why thank you. I will look for that book.

I know I've seen every Red Dwarf episode at least once, but I can't recall the "Last" episode of season 8. What was it about?

Also, speaking of Stephen King, if you're not really into horror, then read the book that got me interested in King in the first place. When I was in tech school, someone loaned me their copy of The Dead Zone. After reading that, I was hooked. I haven't watched the tv show, though, so I can't say how it compares to the book or the movie.

There was a fanfic called _The Doctor and the Enterprise_ by Jean Airey which was published in several editions. It was a Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover. It was a fun read, but needed a good editor.
As both a trekkie and a Whovian, I'm interested in this story. First time I've heard of such a crossover, and I'm curious as to how it worked out. Where can one get a copy of this?

A Web search on "The Doctor and the Enterprise" (the whole phrase including the quotes) or "Jean Airey" should turn up some sources. The former is how I found the author's name; I have no idea where my copy is packed away.

Rimmer: "Step up to Red Alert!"
Kryten: "Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb. "
- Kryten, Legion

"So... let me get this straight. You want to fly on a magic carpet to see the king of the potato people and you're telling me your completely sane? "
