Pottermore: Bad Fanfic? Divergent, Divisive. Different.
*More what I’d like to see, than necessarily what it is we’re going to get, don’t hold me as a futurist. Imagine signing in to Pottermore as a first year (of course, we must all learn to run before we can fly). Term starts in September, but you can still come in as a late […]
Fiction Friday: The Miracle at the Fair
July 22, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
This is the start of a monthly series, where I’ll be putting up some non-Bibliotek work. Not the whole of any other book, but some tasters. This is from my novel The Miracle. I’ll tell you more about it another time, and let this speak for itself. Hope you like it, and, as per usual, if […]

The Tortured Artist’s Dilemma
July 22, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Today: I woke up with a very special headache this morning. And as stabbing pain is not one of my favourite ways to start the day, I took some painkillers. They are new and different because the other boxes in the drawer were all empty. And apparently their drugs are not the same as the […]

“You need a comma. Because it wasn’t the farmhouse that was seeking answers.” “How do you know?”
The Jam Tomorrow of the Writing Game
July 19, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
I submitted my first batch of queries yesterday. Apparently I was supposed to tell people that. There. I’ve told. I didn’t say anything because it’s not time for celebration, it’s just the dawn of a widening chasm of hopelessness and despair *ahem* I mean, patient waiting period. There will be cautious optimism if one of […]
The End. The End. *dance*
July 18, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
In between writing query letters I’ve been writing a synopsis. Where ‘writing’ is composing a sentence and then thinking, ‘well, that’s stupid’, writing another and glaring at it, and then deleting both and starting again. Which is made worse by the fact that I’ve already done this once. But that was back when the first […]

July 18, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
So that’s kickstart week over, I’m now going to relax to a steady chunk of it per week. Watch out this Friday for the beginning of the monthly ‘other fiction Friday,’ too! This time it will be from my much calmer, elderly superhero novel The Miracle.

Kickstart: Bibliotek: Nanograph One
July 18, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
<— Previous ~~~~~ Nanograph One Andy had never been much of an Author himself. Not that that’d stopped him being chosen for this mission. The employer having sent Julia to him with the material. He felt his stomach clench. Around the hard, finger length capsule in his gut. Just for once… Andy wished he was […]
Kickstart: Bibliotek: Chapter One.Five
July 16, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
<— Previous ~~~~~ Have you ever rained down from a volcano? Graham hadn’t, not until they base-jumped from the tower amongst the new thermals which smashed them downward. Shades had thrown him something like a poncho and told him, “it knows what to do.” Blessed fashion, he thought, at least it knows what to do. […]
