Bahwolf:	That would never happen with me in here, Chip.  <eg>
TerryDiane:	Hi everyone.  Sorry I couldn't dress for the occasion
DaywoIf:	Y'all, that comment is aimed at Liz, and myself!
LizWolf:	::::::sitting with hands folded, attentive and well
behaved::::::::::
RELM Chip:	Folks, I doubt we'll need protocol, because we're all fairly
RELM Chip:	conscientious about other chatters.
BlrWolf:	LOL
SBurg24278:	I'll warn you all this is my first visit in a chat room....so
I'll probably be kind'a quite
AraWolf:	Nice fur, BLR
RELM Chip:	AL, when we go to protocol, it's a very formalised means of
talking to the author...
Bahwolf:	Hope Aqua and AGDanc show up!
RELM Chip:	No problem, SB.  Just jump in whenever you're ready. :)
BlrWolf:	Thanks Ara,   Yoda helped me with it. :)

ALNAN H:	Poor Yoda
LizWolf:	LOL BLR
AraWolf:	What is this "dark fantasy" you're having, Bah? ;)
RELM Chip:	Does anyone want me to give a quick refresher on how protocol
works?
RELM Chip:	Or shall we wait until we need it?
ALNAN H:	Go for it Chip
Bahwolf:	Wait until we need it.
TerryDiane:	Hope its "living" fur Bah
Bahwolf:	I won't bite anyone.
DaywoIf:	LOL...poor yoda indeed
Mplogman:	Same with me ask with Susan. This is my first too
RELM Chip:	If you have a question, type "?" onscreen...
LizWolf:	Susan and Mp LOL means Laughing Out Loud. . .in case you don't know
the lingo.

DaywoIf:	LOL, Michael...it may be a mistake to mention that in the cafe!

EarScratch:	:::waving paw at everywolf::::
Stngnslm:	Bahwolf there was a write of you
Bahwolf:	In SF Age, Stng?
RELM Chip:	In SF AGE, Stng?  Really?
Bahwolf:	Good or bad?
RELM Chip:	And, how recent?
EarScratch:	:::wagging tail:::::
Stngnslm:	correct
Stngnslm:	but  gave itto my sec and  it not here to reveiw
RELM Chip:	Was it a fairly recent issue, Stng?
Bahwolf:	Did they say anything about how good looking I was?
RELM Chip:	LOL
Tamawulf:	was?
SBurg24278:	LOL
OnlineHost:	Vvanwolf has entered the room.
RELM Chip:	LOL TAM
RELM Chip:	Re's, Vv.
RELM Chip:	Sorry 'bout the double IM. :/
Stngnslm:	Chip it came last week
Vvanwolf:	Brian, can you talk a little about the advantages and disadvantages
of on-line publishing?
RELM Chip:	Neato, Stng.  There's still a chance of obtaining a copy, then.
RELM Chip:	Great question, Vv!
Bahwolf:	Sure, Jim.
OnlineHost:	SolWolf62 has entered the room.
TerryDiane:	Thought I was the only one who still said neato Chip
ALNAN H:	good question Jim
AraWolf:	Hiya Sol!
LizWolf:	::::waving to SolWolf:::::::
Bahwolf:	I think online publishing is great for getting reprints out on the
web for fans to read.
SolWolf62:	Hello, Everyone!!
RELM Chip:	LOL Diane. :P
SolWolf62:	::Bowing to esteemed author/guest::
BlrWolf:	Hi SolWolf
Bahwolf:	Much of my work, especially early stuff, appeared in small press
mags that you simple
Tamawulf:	Hi, Sol:::::waving paw:::
Stngnslm:	beleive it Chip have a Fax and will send
Bahwolf:	can't find anymore.  Letting them be reprinted at e-zines gets them
out there where
JulesWolf1:	Evening Sol.
Bahwolf:	people can read them.
EarScratch:	Pretend I've never read anything of yours. Which story would you
recommend first?
Bahwolf:	Though I have sold some original work to e-zines, I don't really
recommend it.  The money's
RELM Chip:	LOL.  I believe it, Stng.  We'll just find a copy locally.
Thanks. :)
Bahwolf:	hardly worth the small amount of exposure.
EarScratch:	:::turning in circles, trying to get comfortable::::
Stngnslm:	accepted Chip
Bahwolf:	hi, Solwolf!
RELM Chip:	Do you think that e-zines will become a more viable medium in the
future, Bah?
RELM Chip:	That is, greater exposure than print?
Bahwolf:	Earscratch, my personal favorite is "The Sorrows of Your Changing
Face" which originally
Bahwolf:	appeared in ABO SF, but has been reprinted online by DARK PLANET.
There is a
Bahwolf:	link to there from my website.
Stngnslm:	waving to all new arrivals
Bahwolf:	However, I would recommend anyone want a good introduction, buy and
read COLD AT
Bahwolf:	HEART.
EarScratch:	Hmmm, I used to get ABO....time to go to the garage.
Vvanwolf:	I know you do a lot of research.  For COLD AT HEART, was it
research then write or the other
Vvanwolf:	way around?
ALNAN H:	Lizwolf give Earscratch a scratch so he'll calm down
OnlineHost:	StrikeNDip has entered the room.
LizWolf:	Yes, MaBah. . .
Bahwolf:	Chip, right now I don't think there are enough people wanting to
read fiction online.
DaywoIf:	Hmm, Bah...have heard that title before!
LizWolf:	::::::::patting EarScratch:::::::  Settle down, boy.  Good puppy.
ALNAN H:	Hi Strike   Thanks Liz maybe now he can get comfortable
Bahwolf:	I expect this will change.  What has to happen to get good fiction
on the web
EarScratch:	:::giving Lizwolf his/her cold nose::::
DaywoIf:	LOL, Ear
Bahwolf:	is that editors have to figure out how to make money at it so that
they can pay
SolWolf62:	Can't take an e-zine in the bathtub, Chip
Mplogman:	I suppose there never will be many people reading online
Bahwolf:	good money for the fiction.
Mplogman:	Itīs just too tiresome
Bahwolf:	You might be right, Michael.
BlrWolf:	I keep getting nose prints on the monitor when reading online.
Bahwolf:	LOL, Blr
TerryDiane:	Who brought the fleas, anyway?:::::scratch, scratch::::::
ALNAN H:	lol Blr
StrikeNDip:	G'evening, all... I brought the flea powder.
LizWolf:	Ha, BLR
RELM Chip:	I might dispute that, Mp.  But I'm not a majority. :)
BlrWolf:	Hi Strike
RELM Chip:	LOL BLR
DaywoIf:	Or as I always say, you cannot prop an E-zine on the hubbies back,
while he sleeps...
DaywoIf:	LOL, td
RELM Chip:	Bah, did you catch Vv's question regarding research?
DaywoIf:	Hello, Strike!!!
StrikeNDip:	Hey, Day!
Bahwolf:	Missed it, Chip.  :::scrolling::;
RELM Chip:	Vv keeps asking good questions...I may want to keep him around as
a shill. ;)
ALNAN H:	good idea Strike!  I think I smell something funny.
SolWolf62:	Thought that was my job, Chp
Bahwolf:	Jim, it was research, write, research, write, research, write, and
believe it or not, I'm
Vvanwolf:	LOL, Chip!
Bahwolf:	still researching!
RELM Chip:	LOL Sol
AraWolf:	You write techno-horror, is that your specialty?
RELM Chip:	Uh...isn't researching after the book's published a bit of
overkill, Bah? :)
Bahwolf:	it's certainly one of my favorite areas to write in, Ara.  Not sure
if it's my specialty
Bahwolf:	or not.  You think so?
DaywoIf:	LOL, Chip
RELM Chip:	Why is it a favorite, Bah?
TerryDiane:	Sorry I can't stay longer.  I've got overnight guests (ages 2 and
4) and the pups need
TerryDiane:	to be nipped!
RELM Chip:	Night, Diane!
OnlineHost:	OO7berry has entered the room.
DaywoIf:	Nite, TD
AraWolf:	See ya, Diane!
EarScratch:	Night Diane !
Tamawulf:	Night, Diane
Bahwolf:	I think it's a fav for me, Chip, because it allows me to mix good
technical SF with
ALNAN H:	bye Diane
SBurg24278:	nite diane
Stngnslm:	nite Terry
Bahwolf:	the types of situations in which characters really perform for me.
TerryDiane:	Maybe I'll see you all later.  Congrats Bahwolf
Vvanwolf:	Brian, you write a lot of horror.  What attracted you first, as a
writer, the horror
Bahwolf:	Thanks Terry
Vvanwolf:	situations or the characters?
ALNAN H:	He worries his mother when he writes horror!
OnlineHost:	T83BIRD has entered the room.
Bahwolf:	My first year of trying to write professionally, Jim, I wrote a lot
of SF and fantasy, which
RELM Chip:	LOL AL
Bahwolf:	for the most part I couldn't seem to sell.  This might have had
nothing to do with my
Bahwolf:	writing or the stories, but I took it like it did.  Anyway, I wrote
a few horror stories,
Bahwolf:	which I also enjoyed doing, and they sold rather easily.  For a
while I was writing what
Bahwolf:	sold.  Building credits more than anything else, even if most of
them were small press
Bahwolf:	credits.
DaywoIf:	Bahwolfie, do you think all the E-fiction helps or hurts your
progress?
SBurg24278:	Don't worry MaBah...I have other writer friends who write horror
and they all seem perfectly
SBurg24278:	normal most of the time....
Bahwolf:	Hey, it gets me read by people like you, Day.  And being read is
really what it's all
RELM Chip:	Day, do you mean his personal e-fiction, or the fact that
RELM Chip:	*anyone* can publish on the Web?
Bahwolf:	about.
Bahwolf:	Susan, since when have I ever seemed perfectly normal?
ALNAN H:	Oh Susan, we never considered Brian "normal"  :)
EarScratch:	Bah - will you ever write a horror story about a boy who gets
eaten by a shark?
LizWolf:	Hee hee
Bahwolf:	LOL, Earscratch!
DaywoIf:	Both, chip...there is quite a bit of each
RELM Chip:	LOL Ear
BlrWolf:	LOL
Bahwolf:	Some day I really do need to use that in a story.
DaywoIf:	LOL, BahMom
ALNAN H:	Yeah, he usually writes from experience don't ya Bah
Bahwolf:	For now, you guys can feel good knowing your the only ones who were
ever told that
EarScratch:	Normal, HA!
Bahwolf:	story.
RELM Chip:	Bah, did you want to elaborate on the "shark" joke, or is it too
long for right now? :)
ALNAN H:	Ha! That's what he thinks.  :)
Bahwolf:	"It was a dark and stormy night.  The fin cut the water like a
butter knife..."
RELM Chip:	LOL
EarScratch:	LOL!
T83BIRD:	Some experiences can only be thought of.
BlrWolf:	LOL
DaywoIf:	Bah, elaborate...who, him...he is so shy...   :)
Bahwolf:	I can elaborate, Chip.  Did you miss it that night?
LizWolf:	Such a writer. . .bet you could do that in a shop window, too, eh,
Bah?
RELM Chip:	Nope, Bah.  But others here might have.
ALNAN H:	You been reading Snoopy again haven't you?
Bahwolf:	LOL, Liz.
Vvanwolf:	LOL, Liz!
Bahwolf:	I can be brief.
DaywoIf:	I missed it, Bahwolfie
RELM Chip:	Go for it, Bah. :)
Bahwolf:	A girlfriend moved away and wouldn't write me.  I wrote her parents
a letter, supposedly
DaywoIf:	LOL, Liz
Stngnslm:	? Bah would i be out of line in thinking (like a childs game) just
what just do you in this
EarScratch:	o/~ How much is that wolfie in the window o/~
Bahwolf:	from my parents, telling them that I had been swimming in Pensacola

Stngnslm:	situattion
BlrWolf:	:::putting paw on Daywolfs paw in consulation:::
DaywoIf:	LOL, ear
Stngnslm:	9SP0
Bahwolf:	eaten by a Shark.  "So sad.  Please inform BAH's girlfriend."
DaywoIf:	LOL, Blr
Bahwolf:	Anyway, I didn't think it through.  Her parents sent mine a sympathy
card.
EarScratch:	starting to laugh.....
SolWolf62:	No flowers?
T83BIRD:	Oh? Bah, bah, black sheep, beware of the wolf?
RELM Chip:	LOL
RELM Chip:	Ow, T8.

abilities.

DaywoIf:	Bah..most of our mother's quit having to send notes, when we leave

Bahwolf:	"as a child" Susan?  hahahah
DaywoIf:	VV, I had heard that...from Liz!
LizWolf:	Huh?
RELM Chip:	Bah, other horror writers have said that they write about
RELM Chip:	what scares them personally.  Is it the same with you?
Bahwolf:	Mine still shows up online to make sure I'm behaving, Day.
RELM Chip:	LOL Bah
DaywoIf:	LOL, and we enjoy that, Bah!
Bahwolf:	Uh, sharks are pretty scary, Chip.
Tamawulf:	LOL
RELM Chip:	True, Bah. ;)
LizWolf:	But you write about wolves. . .go figure. <g>
AraWolf:	What about bugs, Bah?
ALNAN H:	He taught me everything I know about computers
Bahwolf:	Seriously, Chip, the only thing that really scares me is sudden,
unexplained violence
RELM Chip:	LOL Liz
T83BIRD:	Did anyone see the Duchess and the sharks on TV tonight?
Vvanwolf:	Me too, Brian.
Bahwolf:	for which you have no possible recourse against.  Like turning the
wrong corner in
RELM Chip:	Nope, T8.  Sounds like a Disney movie. :)
SolWolf62:	Good point, Bah. That which we cannot control ...
Bahwolf:	L.A. and having gang members open up on your family car.
Bahwolf:	And, no, I don't think I've ever written about that,
BlrWolf:	Sudden unexplained violence is OK as long as it is on tv.
RELM Chip:	LOL BLR
T83BIRD:	No.  Real. Sarah Ferguson was on in a special.
RELM Chip:	I know, T8.  I was joking. :)
Stngnslm:	<--- not here
Vvanwolf:	A lot of horror is about explaining the sudden violence.
ALNAN H:	I saw her on Regis and Kathy Lee
Bahwolf:	Ara, I have a cockroach story, but it's not scary.  Funny story.
T83BIRD:	Ok.
RELM Chip:	A funny cockroach story, Bah?
ALNAN H:	Love his funny stories
DaywoIf:	VV...is that akin to Sudden Death Overtime?  :)
RELM Chip:	They always crack *me* up. :)
Vvanwolf:	Real life is much more horrifying because of the mystery behind it
than horror fiction where
Vvanwolf:	we get to know.
Bahwolf:	Yes, Chip, http://www.sff.net/people/brian_a_hopkins/quidnunc.htm
RELM Chip:	That's a very deep comment for a Saturday night, Vv.:)
Bahwolf:	It features one of Susan's photos, BTW
SolWolf62:	Especially on the news lately, VV
Bahwolf:	You're absolutely right, Jim.
T83BIRD:	Deeper than the sharks go?
Vvanwolf:	Sorry, I think the wolf in me is a philosopher.  It's the night air
and all the howling.
RELM Chip:	Perhaps not, T8.  But *way* more Zen. :)
LizWolf:	So, Bah, what real life experience have you made into fiction?
SBurg24278:	yea try shooting a photo for a story about roaches..fun...
RELM Chip:	LOLOL SB
LizWolf:	Ha, Susan!

RELM Chip:	LOL T8
DaywoIf:	LOL, Sol
T83BIRD:	Thanks.
Vvanwolf:	What are your writerly work habits, Brian?
RELM Chip:	That's it.  Vv comes to all future author interviews. :)

and have nothing else
LizWolf:	LOLOL Chip
SolWolf62:	LOL Chip
BlrWolf:	LOL
DaywoIf:	LOL, Chip
Bahwolf:	to do.  I'll usually use any excuse to keep from writing.  Today I
bought a new pool cue
RELM Chip:	LOL Bah
Bahwolf:	and had to spend three hours breaking it in.
Vvanwolf:	Am I stealing thunder?
RELM Chip:	Not at all, Vv.  Quite the contrary...
LizWolf:	Nope, Jim, you're adding it.
SolWolf62:	No, you're the only one directly on topic.
Vvanwolf:	Oh, good.
RELM Chip:	You're asking really good questions.  It's making my job a snap.
:)
T83BIRD:	My wife has to nag me to write.
DaywoIf:	LOL, Brian...next story about a Pool Shark??
RELM Chip:	Ouch, Day.
Bahwolf:	For those who don't know, VV is Jim Van Pelt, writer, friend, and
recent collaboator.
LizWolf:	LOL Day!!!
EarScratch:	LOLOL
BlrWolf:	LOL

Bahwolf:	Jim and I just recently finished a story title "In the Days Still
Left."  We affectionatell
Bahwolf:	call it the lesbian biker of death story.
RELM Chip:	Yeah...Bah's first excursion into this room was the night of VV's
interview.
T83BIRD:	Ouch.
DaywoIf:	LOl
RELM Chip:	Evocative description, Bah.
LizWolf:	Charming appelation.
Vvanwolf:	A very nicely done lesbian biker of death story, I might add.
Bahwolf:	It's about connections one fails to make in life.
SolWolf62:	LOL Poor Bah, huh Chip?
RELM Chip:	LOLOL Vv
BlrWolf:	Once here the Wolf was hooked.
RELM Chip:	Yup, Sol.  He never stood a chance.
Vvanwolf:	That looks like a mixed metaphor, Blr.
Bahwolf:	Yeah, and that damn hook hurts, BLR.
DaywoIf:	Once he joined the Pack...
T83BIRD:	Never sat a chance, either.
ALNAN H:	and he never liked aol until that night
Bahwolf:	After I do this, will someone remove it from my jaw?
DaywoIf:	LOL, Bahwolfie

Vvanwolf:	All the good, down jackets are gone already?
Bahwolf:	Lots of dead cows laying around in post apocalypse, Jim.
RELM Chip:	LOL Vv
Baeowulf:	"oh thats sooooooo good!  i like it!"
ALNAN H:	Claudine, no one told us to come in costume.
ChrisJFle:	Without the big trucks, Blr
DaywoIf:	Bah...how many authors have GOH chats, with their Mom as support
staff?
GaerielSky:	I feel naked.
RELM Chip:	Excellent question, Day.
SolWolf62:	LOL BLR - saw the trailer, keep thinking of pony express.
EarScratch:	LOL Day
RELM Chip:	Uh...why, Gaer?
BlrWolf:	Yes Chris
Bahwolf:	Probably not many, Day.
GaerielSky:	No wolf costume... :(
BlrWolf:	LOL Day
LizWolf:	Bah---ever written about yer Ma?
ChrisJFle:	I'm gonna see it anyway.
AraWolf:	Postman is like waterworld on dry land.
DaywoIf:	Bah...so innovative in all you do...
Bahwolf:	Chip, I saw we have a wolf night once a month.  <g>
RELM Chip:	LOL.  You can pretend, Gaer. :)
ALNAN H:	Actually we're probably more comfortable than those in wolves
costumes...except bah
RELM Chip:	LOL Bah
Baeowulf:	the postman?  the new movie with kevin costner?
RELM Chip:	Yup, Bae.
ChrisJFle:	yup
GaerielSky:	Okay.... Ooooowwwwwwwwwwo!
SolWolf62:	Itchy, MaBah
RELM Chip:	LOLOL Gaer.
DaywoIf:	Gaer...just growl alot, and toss in a howl...were easy
ALNAN H:	Great howl Clau
Baeowulf:	even in the future theyve found a way to give him a rifle and a
horse
BlrWolf:	:::scratching fur madly:::
EarScratch:	and sniff.
RELM Chip:	So...did you always know you wanted to grow up and be a writer,
Bah? :)
GaerielSky:	;-) got it.
ALNAN H:	where's that flea powder?
Vvanwolf:	Brian, do you think horror made a mistake by becoming a genre (and
was it the writer's fault
AraWolf:	::nozzling up to Sol::  nice smell.
ALNAN H:	I think BLR needs it
Vvanwolf:	)?
DaywoIf:	BLR...told you to wear your fruit-o-looms under the wolf costume  :)
RELM Chip:	:::hosing down room with flea dip:::
Bahwolf:	I always wanted to write, Chip.  Wasn't sure until about 6 or 7
years ago that I wanted to
Bahwolf:	be a writer.
AraWolf:	LOLOL, Chip.
BlrWolf:	LOL Day
SolWolf62:	Thanks!! Dial soap, Ara!
ALNAN H:	BLR will be so sorry tomorrow
Tamawulf:	LOL Day
Bahwolf:	Jim, I think the market was just too flooded with bad fiction.
Essentially horror went
DaywoIf:	LOL, Wolf Mom
Baeowulf:	i know i shouldnt ask this but why is everyone a wolf?
Bahwolf:	through a burn out.
RELM Chip:	Vv...what was horror *before* it was a genre?
LizWolf:	Scary fiction, Chip <g>
RELM Chip:	Bae, it's in honor of Bahwolf's screen name. :)
Vvanwolf:	Horror was an effect, I think.  Not a separate thing.
Baeowulf:	i thought so
Baeowulf:	just wanted to make sure
RELM Chip:	Since he's the guest of honor tonight, some of the regulars wanted
to join in. :)
Bahwolf:	Confusing, eh Baeowulf?
Baeowulf:	oh
Baeowulf:	yea
SolWolf62:	VV - I might differ on that point. Lovecraft & Poe don't fit any
other genre;
SolWolf62:	sort of defined the form at the time.
BlrWolf:	Horror lost some of its respectabilty when all you had were slasher
movies.
DaywoIf:	Yes...we tormented him thus in Cybling, one fateful night...
ChrisJFle:	how come nobody let me in on this caper, Chip?
AraWolf:	Do you do "dark fantasy" as well, Bah, and how dark is your fantasy
;)
ALNAN H:	It's a joke Baeowulf.  so your name is a real one huh?
Vvanwolf:	Exactly, Sol.  They weren't a genre at all, like all literary
fiction.
Baeowulf:	yeah
RELM Chip:	It wasn't my idea, Chris. :)
RELM Chip:	I guess you weren't on the list. :)
Baeowulf:	i love beowulf but someone already had the nick
DaywoIf:	Ara, you should read Ivory....very good!
ChrisJFle:	awww...
Bahwolf:	Depends on your definition of dark fantasy, Ara.
GaerielSky:	LOL, Well... I just wanted to say "Hi" Nancy and Bah.. see ya
later.
RELM Chip:	What's yours, Bah?
RELM Chip:	Night, Gae!  Thanks for stopping by!
SolWolf62:	Night, Gae

Tamawulf:	Night, Gae
RELM Chip:	LOL
DaywoIf:	LOL, Gae
Baeowulf:	i didnt even know he would be online, much less so public about it
DaywoIf:	Oh, he is very public
RELM Chip:	You lucked out, then, Bae. :)
Bahwolf:	What's that, Baeowulf>
AraWolf:	Is dark fantasy something like a horror and ghost story combined?
RELM Chip:	You, Bah. :)
Baeowulf:	lost of stars are so closeted when they are online
RELM Chip:	Bae's a fan.
Baeowulf:	this is cool.
Baeowulf:	i dont know what to say though
ChrisJFle:	say anything
Bahwolf:	To me, dark fantasy is when horrific elements intrude on tradutional
fantasy elements.
RELM Chip:	LOL.  Why do you like Bah's work, Bae? :)
Bahwolf:	Me, a star?
Baeowulf:	im glad im not talking to him in person, id probably be on the
floor in convulsions
LizWolf:	The elves turn nasty, Bah?
Tamawulf:	I think you're doing very well Baeowulf
ChrisJFle:	scratch his stomach. everyone else seems to. <g>
RELM Chip:	LOL Liz
RELM Chip:	LOLOL Chris
ALNAN H:	Baeowulf do you know about his webpage?
Vvanwolf:	So, Sir Lancelot meets Freddy Kruger.
LizWolf:	LOL Vv
Bahwolf:	LOL, Chris
Baeowulf:	no i dont
EarScratch:	Eeww!
RELM Chip:	LOLOLOL Vv.  That's beautiful.
AraWolf:	LOL, VV.
ChrisJFle:	LOLOLOLL VV
Bahwolf:	Yeah, Jim, something like that.
DaywoIf:	LOL, VV
ALNAN H:	we can send you the url so you can get there can't we bah
BlrWolf:	LOL
Bahwolf:	But that's my def, and I'm not at all sure the pub industry thinks
that way.
Baeowulf:	really?  thatd be cool
RELM Chip:	Bah, what do you consider an "horrific element?"
Vvanwolf:	Do you have an example title of a better known dark fantasy?
DaywoIf:	VV, are you commenting on Gere playing Lancelot in First knight, by
chance?  <EG>
Bahwolf:	The pub tagged COLD AT HEART as dark fantasy. I think they thought
it was
Bahwolf:	a polite way to say horror.
Vvanwolf:	LOLOLOL! Day!
SolWolf62:	Ack, Day.
ChrisJFle:	i dunna get it
Bahwolf:	Horrific element would be those elements traditional to a horror
story (really not
RELM Chip:	That clears it right up, Bah.  Thanks. ;)
Mplogman:	Isnīt dark fantasy the same that was called horror a few years ago?
Bahwolf:	necessary to take notes on these lame answers <g>) such as ghost and
goblins, vampires
ChrisJFle:	So, Bah, what'd ya think of SCREAM?
Bahwolf:	and werewolves, etc.
Bahwolf:	haven't seen it yet, Chris.
BlrWolf:	There  Wolf
ChrisJFle:	<g>
RELM Chip:	Mp, I think that there's a lot of overlap.  I don't think they're
synonymous, myself.
RELM Chip:	LOL BLR
DaywoIf:	LOL, blr
Bahwolf:	I think to the publishers, Michael, df is just horror by another
name.
SolWolf62:	I agree Chip - kind of a PG-13 rating on it?
RELM Chip:	It's analogous to a movie like ALIENS.  Science fiction or
RELM Chip:	horror, depending upon your personal point of view.
Mplogman:	They are publishing categories
ChrisJFle:	Mr. Frownkinsteen, Blr?
Bahwolf:	There's a tendency to create all these subgenres these days, that
IMO, is just totally
BlrWolf:	Yep Chris
Bahwolf:	unnecessary, Chip.  DF is an examole.
Vvanwolf:	ALIENS seems to me to clearly be SF with a horror effect.
Bahwolf:	example
ChrisJFle:	DF?
DaywoIf:	Bah, does it also reflect the general feel of the story...or just
content thereof?
Vvanwolf:	Horror is horror because of its theme.
RELM Chip:	Vv, what makes it different from a "monster in the closet" on a
spaceship, really?
Bahwolf:	Can do both, Day.
Vvanwolf:	Nothing.
ChrisJFle:	DF?\
Vvanwolf:	It's still SF and horror.
RELM Chip:	Dark Fantasy, Chris.
EarScratch:	You can breathe outside a closet, Chip
Bahwolf:	dark fantasy, Chris
ChrisJFle:	ah
Vvanwolf:	In a closet, someone can hear you scream.
DaywoIf:	Bah, ie:  the gap series was Dark SF, yet no horror involved
OnlineHost:	HansonWolf has entered the room.
EarScratch:	LOL Vv
RELM Chip:	Bah, you don't think that the subdivision of categories helps
RELM Chip:	readers find what they're after in a sea of books?
AraWolf:	Hi Han!
RELM Chip:	LOL Vv
Bahwolf:	Dark because of the nature of the characters, wouldn't you say, Day?
DaywoIf:	Yes, VV...then they stand outside and laugh
EarScratch:	Hi Han!

ALNAN H:	another wolf!  Hi Hanson
HansonWolf:	Hi all
