[QUOTE="Dark Psion, post: 1677334, member: 959"] [B]Who are your favorite authors? [/B] I don't really have a favorite author, there are some names that get my attention, but that's no guaranty I will like the book. The theme of the book is more important to me. [B]What style of writing do you prefer?[/B] Well Written Style :D OK, as with above, it's the theme and subject that gets my attention and keeps it. I have read stories with a varity of styles, and a few that changed styles in mid stream, but as long as the story is good, I can forgive it. [B]Do you enjoy novels? Comics? TV? Movies? Theater?[/B] [B]Novels:[/B] Off and on. I would say I prefer paperback books to hard covers. I have a very good memory and if you point to a book on my shelf, I can probably tell you about that book, maybe even chapter to chapter. Because of that, I don't like to spend too much on a book. Besides, paperbacks fit in my back pocket. [B]Comics:[/B] Used to. Between losing my local comic shop and big story changes in my favorite books, I stopped reading a while ago. Everynow and then I read about something that gets my intrest, but not having any nearby source for the books, the feeling passes. [B]Movies:[/B] On DVD and Video Yes. In movie theaters, not since Star Trek 6. That was when our local theater closed and considering how fast movies come out on DVD and the cost of that DVD compaired to going to the see the movie once, I'll stick with the DVDs. [B]Theater:[/B] Nope, brings back bad memories from school field trips. [B]Anything else you'd like to say?[/B] I do read a lot of short stories on several storysites and the one thing I would mention is the "Arabian Nights" rule. You must grab your audience's attention in the opening moments and never let go. There have been stories and books that I have started, but never finished because the author got lost, went off on a different tangent, got too focused on little things or just got boring. [/QUOTE]
