#1 Rewriting my dreams for publishing?

Post by Mayabird »

As you may have noticed from the dream thread, I have a lot of really detailed, elaborate dreams. It occurred to me that I could probably rewrite a number of them into short stories and see if someone would publish them. It wouldn't be much money, probably, but I won't have to do much work to clean them up. What does everyone think?

That would be really cool if it was taken, and if not, no big loss. I'm with the others; go for it. I'd buy it.

Thanks. I'll probably be starting on it within a couple weeks.

I'm planning on posting them to the user-fiction section so everyone can see and critique them.

Well you made up your mind already apparently but nevertheless, go for it. What's to lose?

I spent much of today talking myself into starting to post them. The first one is up in User Fiction. . Don't be too harsh, please.

Gods yes. You proved to me in A Southern Belle in Empress Intalasha's Court that you were an excellent writer, of some real quality. Speaking of which....
