A Guiding light to Science

[sqbr]

Just did my Sciguide interview. It was nice to do an interview where I was absurdly overqualified and guaranteed to get the position, even if it doesn't pay :) Anyway, if anyone else is interested (I know there's at least two of you) applications should go in before the end of next week to get your interview done in time for the next training.

Last night I was inspired to script some A.C.O.S. which would have been even better if it wasn't right at the end. I'm tempted to be like penchaft and just release stuff when it's done regardless of chronology but that would spoil my (very few and kind of cruddy) surprises :)

According to other more writerly folk, if you do post stuff online which you intend to publish later it's best to friendslock it etc for copywrite reasons or something. Though webcomics seem to do alright so eh.

Anyway, I await your masterful narrative! Does it have cats in space? Cos if it does you are so ripping me off.

Yeah, dishlexicman did a course on how to get published and discovered that publishers won't be interested in pretty much anything he'd written (at that point) because he'd put it all online. Most of the money is to be had if you're the first to publish something, and putting it online counts as the first publication.

I'm planning to only putting a few stories online (once they're written, of course).

It could have cats in space, but if so they'll be normal cats who don't speak or wear clothes.
