Re: Book Idea (i think a brought this up before?)

No you couldn't run anything with copyrighted material... But that's common sense either way.<br><br>I whole-heartedly think that this is a very practical idea, as it doesn't cost aphelion anything at all... It also opens up a new venue for writers in the form of something a little more "permanent" ...

Re: Blogs

Well I have a blog, mostly because I need a medium for writing where I can get a bit of feedback from family and friends without having to ask them for it. Obviously I dont write fiction in my blog (though it would be fun to create an entire blog that is pure fiction and see just who falls for it).<...

Re: Audio Stories

Well having a story "done in audio" might fit in some cases. There are some amazing new engines out there that can mimic almost any accent or dialect.<br><br>Of course, my own father runs a business and he can scarcely read at all. He has a small program that reads his email and stuff to him. It sou...

Re: Audio Stories

Actually I can think of a few sites that host free MP3 uploads, usually a max of three per person. They are usually unsigned artist sites, but most have a 'spoken word' section. This would require authors to upload their own files, but it would be free and kind to the aphelion servers.<br><br>"hit m...

Audio Stories

I didn't see anywhere else to post this idea... So...<br><br>I would like to see some stories done in audio. This would be a smooth opportunity for contests or challenges. Converting a WAV to an MP3 would be pretty simple. <br><br>The only downside is the space it would take up. But it just seems li...

Re: Aphelion Pros Log In

I'm kind of embaressed by this, but about three years ago (well after I started posting stories on aphelioin) I sold a two pager to True Romance magazine for 150 bucks... The wierd thing was, it was a sci-fi thriller type story with utterly no hint of romance.
