Ok, go to the site (www.thehot50.com) and click on 'free web hosting." Then click where it says "Members Click Here." Type in miff for account name, and chris1 for password. Then Logon. At the top you will see a place where you can select directories. From the list, pick "archives," that's your area. You can upload anything to there as well as create .html files. Keep in mind that the archives page is on the Base Directory. You probably don't want to start messing with that 'till you get everything else uploaded and edited. Then you can add links to "archives.html." Be careful when editing it because it's easy to accidentally change other files. If you need any more help, just ask me. I can give you some pointers on html syntax and whatnot. Are you planning on htmlizing the archives or just have them downloadable files? Also not that we have decided to htmlize the tech manual and make it a separate section since it seems to have expanded beyond the interactive stories. Keep me posted on your progress. -- nameless out
Hi, Yes, I remember. Glad to hear about the summer writing workshop. I hope it works out well. A couple of places that have lists of science fiction markets: In general, the SF markets will want to see a complete manuscript. The magazines want short pieces (typically 1000 words to maybe 15,000 words), and the book publishers want 60,000 words and up.
By the way, a typical double-spaced page is 250 words. > What about larger companies; how should I show them a fan
fiction I've None of the markets can take fan fiction, in general, since the characters are trademarked, and they don't even want to look at it. The book market for media tie-in books doesn't work with new writers; they will want to see you publish some non-media work before they will liscense you to use characters. There are two exceptions to this. There's a book called "Strange New Worlds" that is looking for Trek fiction; they are authorized by Paramount to use the Star Trek characters. Second, the magazine "Amazing Stories" has a liscence to feature stories using Trek and Babylon-V characters, but they are right now overstocked, and not looking at new stuff. I'll attach information on the "Strange New Worlds" anthology below. > Well, I realize that you are busy on your novel (how's that coming along?) Finished the revision last month, and it's in the editorial process. Strange New Worlds III--Star Trek Department, Pocket Books, 1230 6th Ave, New York, NY 10020. SF. To 7,500 words. Stories can be set in any of the Star Trek time frames and feature any one or more of the Star Trek characters. No outright parody or stories with explicit sexual activity or graphic depictions of violence or that change established facts about or make major changes in the life of a major character or "Mary Sue" stories. ONLY open to over 18 yrs old non-professional writers (not sold over 2 pro stories or a novel) from USA & Canada, no reprints. Deadline: Oct. 1 '00, all submissions become the property of Pocket Books and of Paramount Pictures, editor will be Dean Wesley Smith. $1000, $600, $400 to 1st, 2nd, 3rd prize winners + 10¢/word, 10¢/word for rest of selected stories.
-- > No, I didn't attach anything ;) Well... I was just poking around with a hex editor. Basically I looked for patterns and when I found them I changed things and then I ran the ROM and tried to see what changed. I got pretty lucky because I found a place that changed fairly quickly and from there I was able to see the patterns of the rooms much easier. Having said that, Snobro had already done more than I had... and he knew more about what he was doing too.. hehe :-) I might try doing some more though... we hadn't figured out the enemies or lava or metroids or anything else except the basic tile layout.... well I think I figured out a few things about the layers or something. (It's in those messages you saved I believe) (Oh, you'll also need a checksum recalculator... snobro had one, don't remember where I found it though. If you can't find one, email me and i'll send you the one i have) >I wouldn't mind taking a peek at it myself and seeing how certain
events I heard something about he had to do a year of mandatory military work for the country he lives in or something.... > Well, I don't think I will have much time to work on this stuff
because of I'll probably be working on some of this stuff fairly soon. I have this, hacking the ROM, updating my Metroid site, writing for the fan fic, and helping ravenshadow with enemy ideas for changeling... *whew* that's a lot... hehe (but school is almost out! yeah!) > Also, confidentially, I'm making plans to work on a new, BETTER
version of Sweet! One thing that is important for secret worlds is how the rooms connect to each other. I mean some rooms have a "hard" scroll to the next area and some have a "soft" scroll. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it... the "hard" scrolls actually read in the next area from the cart or something and the "soft" just scroll to the next place. The "hard" ones usually fade to black and you have to wait a second or 2 before you can play again, while the "soft" ones have no wait and just scroll or have a very small wait. The importance for the secret worlds is that if you go through a hard scroll you'll get dumped out of the secret world, but you won't on a soft one. (at least for all the secret worlds i explored) -Andy Schmidgall
Coupla plans (don't do ALL of these, just pick one and go with it)
You should probably do them in order, because I have them (kinda) sorted
from least destructive to most destructive and/or inconvenient. OK, that's all I can think of right now. You might think you're being a pest, but you're not. heh, I get a kick out of a challenge like this :) Tetris
----- Original Message ----- > I tried that, tried Play and Save, and it still won't save... *grr...* Go into Real Player 7 (not sure about 6 or earlier). Go into the View menu, Preferences. Click on the Performance tab. In the Playback From Web Pages section, click the Settings button. From here, you can select Save, Play After Save, and Always Ask. You can also change your default saving directory. If that won't work, I'll have to take more drastic measures *cracks knuckles* ;) I have several other RealPlayer-bypassing tricks up my sleeve.

Hmm... I now realized that Samus and Levine are in a really bad situation already, and I made it even worse now with these creature showing up and knocking Levine out cold. I don't know... maybe he had to of knocked him out to do something important which would save Samus and Levine and is actually a new friend or something. Thats where the sorta opener is, or this part could just end, until Samus gets back to the ship. Maybe Samus could get captured or something and later get freed. I'll probably just stop and wait till you start talking about the beginning of the space pirate thing, or could I talk about Ridley in this one? Ridley is a dragon, and after watching DragonHeart, I now know that dragons live forever (or do they?), and you'd think he would be alive at about this time. Oh well, g'night, cya on AW. It's glad to see this kind of thing going on besides flamewars in the MDbMB. -dab
I keep thinking these online services might be funny: I knew you'd say HeyNow. (pretty stupid, huh?) To make up for it, here's the finished version of whatever. [entertained by my own typographical errors, what a world] The Three Little Pigs Listen closely, you rancid figs, Four small pigs, in Pittsburgh born, They ran around the old Town Hall, The five little pigs were filled with fear, At first it the idea seemed really keen, The big bad wolf he came at last, So the wolf detached his pointy jaw, The seven pigs ran like the wind, The pigs met a man made out of wheat, The wolf walked up with a stethoscope, The wolf reached down the Wheat man's throat, The forty-eight pigs ran down the road. They were in Kansas, therefore, on a farm. The wolf then prayed to his wolfish god, Wolfie again detached his jaw, But as I sit here with a joint in my mouth, The wolf said "Mmm, beefy! That hit the spot! The pigs ran out of gas and oil. The wolf still ran and he went zoom. The wolf got there and didn't quite The Man of Glue was stuck to the ground, The worst part, for the pigs, of the flame, was the din. The pigs ran from the fiery glue, The pigs said "Who is this man that berates me?" And just as I sit on this maple log, One hundred sixty-two thousand and fifty One hundred sixty-three thousand and twenty And from jail the pigs sued the Jew, But like the Blues Brothers, the jail had gigs, Meanwhile, the wolf was let off easy. [The moral of the story is don't do drugs. You will lose your ability to count.]

Hello, It would be a pity if Samus had been excluded from the early cartoons. I can't answer your questions, however, since I never saw the cartoons and we didn't produce them. The creators of the programs like to hear what viewers have to say. It's possible they may have some information. If you'd like to write to them directly, send your letters to:
The ads that you saw for older games were all produced by separate agencies. We don't have the spare copies, nor do we make footage available. We certainly appreciate your interest though. Your last question was about "Deer Force." That's a term I've not heard before. There is a new Game Boy Color (only) game out called Deer Hunter. Anything else would be speculation on my part.
