Hail, WGW! I'm a vet of the orange boards, green boards, House, and now here, and I have to say: I love you guys. I also respect the hell out of your reviewing and snark skills, which is why I've come here with this issue.

I got published recently. The novel will be released in July--small press, but legitimate, and it's already gotten some pretty good pre-release reviews. (Plus one agency going "Film rights plz?", which triggered a squee that could probably be heard from sea to shining sea.) Some of you probably saw me acting like a goofball in the Something Good thread already. Thing is, though, I have a bit of an idea, so I thought I'd stop taking up space there and post about it.

I wanted to know if you guys would be interested in sporking my book--or a part of it, anyway. It might be fun to make a contest of it. I can provide sample chapters, and people can pitch in and rip it apart. Winners get free copies of the full thing, so if they like, they can continue the massacre on their own terms. :D

Spork, snark, MST, however you want to go about it. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't mind reading a sample chapter and letting you know what I think. But I'll leave the sporking, snarking and MSTing to those with more skill in that area.

What genre is it?

Urban fantasy. Some reviewers classed it as horror, so it may tend in that direction, but I hesitate to use the word because it reminds me of Nickolaus Pacione.

If you care to provide information, copies could possibly be purchased, you know.

As long as the fantastic elements are internally consistent, then I'm fine with it. (With me, 'fantasy' does not give the author license for poor storytelling.)

As for the other... Little Nickie is a horror all right. Cool
