I'm still reading, Dan. Mostly just reading and not commenting.

I'm with Ray - I read, but don't usually comment. I am still here,
though!

Me, about weekly. I write novels and the occasional short stories.
I belong to three other, more active forums for real discussions.

I have not been able to sell fiction, so I have gone back to
non-fiction. Mostly magazine articles, but I am working on a
non-fiction book now. History of technology and do-it-yourself, crafts
(model building).
Finding Usenet is a dying service, hardly any messages on any group,
including those that used to have hundreds per day. Plus, there is so
much spam on Usenet now :-(

I forgot having subscribed to this newsgroup. Must still be a
moderator around, though, or neither of us would be able to post.

If I may ask, what more active forums might those be? As has been
previously mentioned, Usenet seems almost use-less these days. I'm
trying to find a gathering of fiction (specifically novel) -writers. I
would love to find a real discussion. Apparently Usenet is no longer
that place.

rec.arts.sf.composition is still active, though a shadow of its former
self. Some of the discussion is about matters exclusive to
speculative fiction -- world building, for example -- but far from all
of it.
And any would-be writer *must* read Patricia Wrede's blog.

Patricia's absence is one reason that r.a.sf.c. is much less vibrant
than it once was.

The above message is a Usenet post.
I don't recall having given anyone permission to use it on a Web site.

rec.arts.sf.composition recently had a prolonged discussion of
characters that probably hasn't spooled off your server yet.
