FAKKU Writers' Lounge

Sure thing. Right here. I recommend checking out some of the other episodes as well. The podcast has been going on for several years so chances are if there's a subject you need insight on, they have an episode for it. There's a search bar on the left side of the page as well as a link to their archives of previous episodes.

Not really. Temperature scales are used to measure internal energy not heat itself. (Temperature difference is used to measure heat energy. I will go into detail later) Higher the internal energy, higher the temperature. Internal energy is the energy from the vibration of (atomic / molecular) particles within an object.

Heat or cold are just sensations. So what I am arguing here is that it makes little sense measuring heat or cold.

If you are talking about heat energy, then it only comes about when there is a temperature difference between two objects (the word for it seems to be 'systems'). Heat energy if I am not mistaken if the energy that goes from an object that has higher internal energy to one that has lower internal energy.

I wanted someone with knowledge of thermodynamics to corroborate with what I have learnt about that subject. Wherever possible, I try to mix as much reality as possible into what I write, fictitious as it may be. Wanted to do the same for the competition.

d: I was half-joking. I was not clear but I wanted to see if someone can write a passage centred around thermodynamics just for laughs. However, I do really want to ascertain a few things pertaining to thermodynamics.

oh that, it sounds like a brilliant idea. I'm expecting a masterpiece from ya =D

well thanks again for giving additional info, it's kind of reminiscent to what I've learned back then. I for myself are unable to come up with such complex concepts, so I'd probably stick with something very simple, and maybe a bit nonsensical.

I am 70% percent certain that what I say is in line with what is said about thermodynamics. Need to make it 100%.

hmm...looks convincing enough for me

Well, shit. That's already more than I know.

The link does not work. Your code looks like url='http://... when it should be without the apostrophe. I loved listening to that pod cast, though. I did a bit of self-reflection with my own writing from what I learned while listening to it. I'll have to look at what else they've recorded.

So two people gave me positive reps for posting a link that doesn't work? Whatever. It works now. Glad you like it!

Golden Chark, is finished. I actually researched the California, post gold rush in two geography works back in high school. Was an awesome place compared to the crap it is now.

In other news, I'm amused of leonards and Xenon's avi's which fit the hats rather well.

Here is the link to Associate's work.

I could enjoyed the beginning much better if Wilson was better introduced. I was a bit lost in the first few paragraphs when Associate jumped into what Wilson was experiencing getting off the train because I felt that I was not properly introduced to him.

'Who is he? What does he do?' were the questions that sprang into my mind. I am sure others would better appreciate how he opened the story though. My opinions are those of a reader of non-fiction, newspapers and essays.

I haven't read the entire piece of work but it seems to be a good narrative that I can never ever seem to put down into writing. I believe murder and revenge were involved in that story.

Yeah, it's not bad. Fits sorta close. I like how it droops over GroverCleaveland's face and how Jerry's totally burried by it. I think it fits on high and d rather well. Mr Vorgue would be pleased. Damn if that isn't a hilarious character, I do appreciate the switch to him, d.

One of my favorite time periods.



For those of you who don't know the awesomeness that is Mr. Torgue:

Right. Torgue, not Vorgue. Don't know what I was thinking.

He was so hilarious in Tiny Tina's D&D DLC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib0hJw1zTwM

Thanks for the remark about that droopy headgear that is dangling over my profile picture, Associate. Let me clarify what I have read in Chark.

Wilson receives news of his cousin's death. It turns out that she was murdered by the family she married into. Wilson seized one of the babies that were housed in where she once lived right after killing one or two of its living inhabitants. The baby was sent to Wilson's aunt most likely emaciated after travelling with Wilson for so long.

I felt the story was made clearer after reading the afterword. That was where important plot points like how Wilson's cousin was related to Tu and who Tu were revealed. It could be incorporated into the story.

AS Mr. John Oakhurst, gambler, stepped into the main street of Poker Flat on the morning of the twenty-third of November, 1850, he was conscious of a change in its moral atmosphere since the preceding night. Two or three men, conversing earnestly together, ceased as he approached, and exchanged significant glances. There was a Sabbath lull in the air, which, in a settlement unused to Sabbath influences, looked ominous. 1
Mr. Oakhurst’s calm, handsome face betrayed small concern in these indications. Whether he was conscious of any predisposing cause, was another question. “I reckon they’re after somebody,” he reflected; “likely it’s me.” He returned to his pocket the handkerchief with which he had been whipping away the red dust of Poker Flat from his neat boots, and quietly discharged his mind of any further conjecture. 2
In point of fact, Poker Flat was “after somebody.” It had lately suffered the loss of several thousand dollars, two valuable horses, and a prominent citizen. It was experiencing a spasm of virtuous reaction, quite as lawless and ungovernable as any of the acts that had provoked it. A secret committee had determined to rid the town of all improper persons. This was done permanently in regard of two men who were then hanging from the boughs of a sycamore in the gulch, and temporarily in the banishment of certain other objectionable characters. I regret to say that some of these were ladies. It is but due to the sex, however, to state that their impropriety was professional, and it was only in such easily established standards of evil that Poker Flat ventured to sit in judgment.


Thank you for the link. I think the first few paragraphs identified our gambler of a hero and what sort of place Poker Flat is.

Gimme your Skype's.

Whose?

Nevermind. Vita Skype runs on voice and video rather than text. Not using it.

I am suffering from a fever and I can't sleep which means I can get cracking on my contest entry which I have just completed.

https://www.fakku.net/forums/writing-and-fanfiction/winter-contest-entry-2013-an-analysis#03986959

If anyone asks how to meet deadlines, tell them you would have to suffer a fever-induced insomnia.

leonard you poor bastard, take aspirins for fever with acetaminophen for and cover your neck with a scarf/t-shirt. I woke up this morning with a mini flu and trimmed it down with those.

As of your entry, I laughed like hell, I'll write my about my favorite parts soon.

I'll not be online so often, I'm not leaving, I just have stuff to do. That includes a Clinical Anatomy book I started in October for which if I finish it, my e-penis shall grow one e-inch! So far, 2.2 chapters out of ten. Srs business.
