STICKY:
Welcome!
(Preview)
So, welcome to Animal Crackers, a site for writers to share their work, get feedback, and give even more feedback. We're glad to have you on! A little bit about the fine print, though these aren't so much rules as practical guidelines. The process is simple: post something, read what others post, and r...

Introductions
(Preview)
I thought it may be a good idea to bring forward from the original Animal Crackers site--the introduce yourself part. I like getting to know everyone. I'll start, but just so you know, this was CR's idea to begin with. The man is brilliant, I swear. This has been transferred from the original page. I did...

A Message from the Void
(Preview)
Hello, all! Yes, I've been deep inside a hole, but I have just four more weeks to go before everything will again be right with the world. Bear with me. Spring break just started today, but I'm on my way to Georgia to visit my terminally ill grandmother. So no posts, I'm afraid. I'm trying to recruit tw...

"Encouragement to Animal Crackers."
(Preview)
We really need to do better with our postings. If we are serious about writing and if we are serious about this great group of talent, then we must try to make a better effort here. I know we all have busy schedules and I am one with a tremendous toil myself, but this group is bigger than our schedules.
It...

Feminist Science Fiction
(Preview)
Good news, everybody! I'm going to be teaching (if the class makes -- I need 12 students) a Science Fiction class in the spring. This is classed as Contemporary Literature, and I've set myself apart from my colleagues by trying to get texts as recent as I can. I've been working on the syllabus for a whi...

Zeitgeist
(Preview)
I have a feeling that this will go over well, seeing as we're all educated enough to question our leaders. I saw this movie a while ago, and, to use an old cliche, it blew my mind. It's a conspiracy theory movie about Christianity and its relationship to myth. It also goes into the banking institutions an...

Over the past two months, as I've mentioned, I've been working on a tutorial for 3d studio max. For anyone that doesn't know, Maya and Max are two computer programs that develop computer generated 3d graphics. Maya is used to create ALL of Pixar's movies. Max is used for mostly gaming. Well, I've fini...
