I'm writing a fanfic for the Green Hornet 2011 film. The film sees two amateurs take on LA's gangs as "superheroes". My fic is a follow-up that sees them dealing with (and I do mean making deals) with two different crime organizations, one a mixed, mostly white organization and the other, well, I wanted to use a triad for the other one - a made-up ( Read more... )

Describing CoC

Is it okay to describe black characters as black as long as that's not the only description I give of them and I also describe the white characters as white? I realized recently that I did this with my NaNoWriMo-which is never going to see the light of day anyway, for lots of other reasons-and assumed it was okay as long as I didn't treat "white" ( Read more... )

My story involves writing indigenous characters in a present-day setting but with a fantasy/supernatural factor. Years ago, going back to high school (I'm now a college graduate), I thought: "You know what? You never really see enough Native American heroes out there, maybe I should write a story." This train of thought partially evolved from ( Read more... )

I'm googling away but not finding anything conclusive yet. I know Mary Seacole famously provided nursing aid for the injured in the ( Read more... )
