I had a search for "links" in this forum, but found none, so maybe there should be a dedicated links section?

Here's one I rate, anyway. Useful info/interesting articles for writers at all levels (though skewed towards SF).

SF Writers of America - Articles

Here's a guide for getting maps from paper to the screen (I actually got this from this forum, but it's really buried, so I'm bumping it). Anyone who's seen my maps will recognise some of this Posted Image

Peter's Guide To Map Creation

Anyone else want to post useful links? I know there are a few dotted all around the place, and it'd be good to collect them all somewhere. *cough, cough, Admin! Sticky it! cough, cough*

I posted one of these in another thread, but they're both pretty good. More for people looking to get published though.

bump to bring this back to the first page. Thanks, I really needed that page on map-making.

This is the best website for people who want to get published, IMO. Check it out:

Snowflake method: http://www.advancedf...t/snowflake.php found this as an interesting method.

Hopefully I'll be able to put up a link of my own once the Project I'm working on is complete (this may be a year yet). Those of you who can see the hidden forum Rake's Project, know what I'm on about. :D

looking for a link to a forum where you have to critique three texts before you can upload another chapter. Don't know who posted it, maybe Sixty or Yellow. Sound familiar to anyone?

That'd be Yellow. No clue where it is, though. :S

edit: Although if you joined our little critique circle-jerk you'd end up doing 3 and getting some comments on your own. :thumbsup:
