Marketing anti-pedophilia novel

Graptopetalum @Graptopetalum (1807) • Canada 16 Aug 12

I'm working on a science fiction novel in which a nine year old girl fights a pedophile. My motivation for this is partly because I think it's strange that I can't think of any stories about kids fighting pedophiles although the...

Flash looses sound when paused

Graptopetalum @Graptopetalum (1807) • Canada 19 Mar 12

I've only noticed this problem recently and it's very annoying. I'm using a Pentium 4 computer with Windows XP and as far I can tell this problem applies to all browsers, but not all sites with Flash (e.g. I've never noticed it...

Info dumps

Graptopetalum @Graptopetalum (1807) • Canada 6 Feb 12

This is where the author has to include some information that the reader needs to follow the plot. Perhaps this is more relevant to science fiction and fantasy where the reader clearly isn't going to know the qualifications for...

Palestine

Graptopetalum @Graptopetalum (1807) • Canada 24 Aug 11

It's had surprisingly little coverage in the media, but there's a plan to have the UN establish an official Palestinian state in September. A lot of people seem to be behind this, including President Obama. However, some people...

What if somebody makes a mockery of your religion?

Graptopetalum @Graptopetalum (1807) • Canada 23 Nov 10

I don't mean a comedian or cartoonist making jokes about it. I mean making some shoddy rip-off version like the orcs were made in mockery of elves. Suppose a rather suspicious man comes along and says, "I'm a prophet, I know...

Website Wow Factors

Graptopetalum @Graptopetalum (1807) • Canada 15 Nov 10

I'm a web designer but I get very little business. Somebody who claimed to know a lot about web site designing (but I'm not convinced he does) recently said that he thought me design skills were "old and weak" but didn't give any...
