Re: Identity and Publishers
From what I've seen on Query Shark, the preference seems to be to sign the query as "Real Name, Writing As Pseudonym"

Re: Social sites for old/slow machines?
If you get to the point of being paranoid of images and everything else, might as well stay offline, cause the minute you hook your computer to the internet, you are "vulnerable". :-P Having an older machine with older plug ins does NOT make you "more" secure. Keep in mind, if th...

Re: Social sites for old/slow machines?
Alas, I don't use Twitter or Tumbler, though I'd imagine they are both likely to be heavy JS dependent. Mobile sites may or may not use JavaScript, depending on what they are targeting. Today's "smart" phones can handle some JavaScript, but most sites are likely to use little to no JS, how...

Re: Social sites for old/slow machines?
You kind of have two separate issues: dated system and low-speed internet. With the system, 13 years old is practically ancient in the computer world, and outside of the realms of what most software applications will support. You can't install a modern browser on Windows 98 anymore, and the very lat...

Re: Blog sites "2.0"-style vs. Old School Hosts?
What about MIDI files and Comic Sans? :lol: Can still use those too (though people will also still hate you for the midi files LOL. I still love Comic Sans...use it all the time. Anybody know the answer to my question at the end, about why can't you "buy" a domain name with a one-time fee...

Re: Blog sites "2.0"-style vs. Old School Hosts?
Wordpress.com, Blogger, and Tumblr seem to be the "big three" in terms of blog platforms right now. But in the "old days" of the WWW (when I was just a little mini-byte!), people hosted pages on Tripod, Angelfire, and the now-defunct Yahoo! Geocities Having your own website is n...

Re: NANOWRIMO~!
This will be my sixth year of NaNo, my second year as an ML for my region, and hopefully my third win...once I figure out what I want to do. Kind of annoyed at the whole site relaunch just before NaNo 2011, though mostly because they had to launch it without stuff, including the regional email featu...

Re: TELL ME THIS (formerly REDDO), YA Urban Fantasy new query
Overall, I think this is an AWESOME new direction to go! The only bit I found confusing was the bullet points at the front, particularly "When she sees Connor, her first instinct (amazingly) isn’t to stand quietly against her locker and hope he won't notice her. ", particularly as it doesn...

Re: Query: Aisuru, To Love - YA Paranormal Romance
Probably still a little rough, but want to see if I'm going in the right direction here. Took out most of the subplot mentions and focused on the story's core, the romance. Dear [Agent Name], Sakura Takeshi is in her final year of high school and, according to her doctor, the final year of her life....

Re: Should authors smile in their book jacket photos?
I think it just depends on the author and maybe the genre. Almost all romance novelists seem to smile in theirs

Re: Query: Aisuru, To Love - YA Paranormal Romance
Thanks I'm working on a rewrite to better focus on the core story versus the side plots.
