hmmm.

Ryu

I may do this…

Ryu

Go for it!

Please do, Ryu! There’s no harm in trying and you might earn yourself some money. Not to mention the prestige!

:wink:

I wonder how long a post on the cyberkwoon board trolling for it’s members to come to KFO would last.

That’s a little harsh

This is not a post trolling for members. I would think that most everyone here is aware of Cyberkwoon and can make up their own mind whether they want to spend their time there or not.

This is purely to let as many people as possible know that if they aspire to be a writer then there is a new, paying market available for them.

Why don’t you write a story, Braden - perhaps you could come up with something along the lines of the bitter KFO member that has issues. Sounds to me like you’d have a lot of material for that! :wink:

Seriously though, ignore this if you’re not interested. It’s really hard for writers to get noticed these days and this is a great opportunity for both new and established writers to get something published on the web and possibly in hard copy too.

Take it or leave it!

:slight_smile:

Ill se what i can do.

I’m not bitter, I’m sweet. Ask anyone.

But you’re right, I do have issues with cyberkwoon.

How long does it have to be?
On what sort of topics or style?
And whens the deadline?

Braden, why do you have issues with Cyberkwoon.

I am NOT trying to start a KFO/ Cyberkwoon war, I’m just interested. I personally think Cyberkwoon is pretty cool.

Hi Scotty. I’m sorry, I’m not really interested in badmouthing cyberkwoon. That I posted at all was purely reactionary against their habit of trolling in communities they are not a part of in order to get more hits, while hypocritically deleting and reprimanding mentions of other communities on their forums.

Assuredly, there are some very cool aspects to the site.

I’m there. I could use the writing credits as well.

As for cyberkwoon vs. KFO, I don’t look at it that way. I like both places, and each has its merits.

Gene, any chance of a fiction section here? We’ve got quite a few writers, and it would be a better use of us than more posts on “The post of nothing, but its really about something”.:wink:

Huh??? I thought that’s what Street/Reality Fighting was!:smiley:
Doaah!!! Sorry! I just couldn’t help myself! :smiley:

I’m actually working on a martial novel now: part historic/fiction, part present day reality. It’s currently 200 pages single spaced at the half-way point.

Would a few juicy sections do? A few pages?

that’s not the real ryu!

it’s a ryu imposter! the REAL ryu would have shat his pants if told about something like this.

oh, and ryu – imposter or not – if you write such a story, is the name fistibuns going to be in it?

That’s the “Evil Ryu” mode. It’s not usual, but it happens. It has to do with planet alignment and shifting of the Earth poles-

Enjoy it while it lasts :smiley: super-nice Ryu will be back in a few days

Of course it’s the real me. Do you see a “.” after my name?
Seriously, I am interested in doing something like that with my writing. I already sent in an email asking for some specific stuff, and got a reply back. So there’s a good chance I’ll do it.
By the way, KC, good luck to you!

No Fistibuns in this story :smiley:

Hmm, don’t worry, the “dark Hadou” has gone out of my system. I’m back to normal… (I hope! :mad: )

Ryu

Good luck, Ryu! And to anyone else entering.:slight_smile:

Thanks for your interest

Just to address a few points:

We don’t delete any posts referring to other websites on Cyberkwoon. We are all for the sharing of knowledge - that’s our raison d’etre. We just don’t tolerate trolls of any kind. And our site is far more than just a discussion forum.

As for the stories, all the details you need are in the Submission Guidelines, which can be found here:

If you have any other questions at all, contact the Fiction Editor at fiction@cyberkwoon.com

This project is designed to generate interest in Martial Arts, spread that interest and offer writers an opportunity to get their work out in the public eye. If that generates more hits for Cyberkwoon.com, then why is that a bad thing? :wink:

Again, thanks for your interest - we look forward to receiving your submissions.

:slight_smile:

By the way, this is not a once only competition, but will be a regular feature of the site. If your submission if of high enough quality, it will get published at some point. :wink:
