Re: New to the Forum

My story idea doesn't seem exploitative or tone deaf at all, does it? I was just thinking that sort of how the OP is a mash-up of "Django Unchained," "Trapped By The Mormons," and "Mad Max: Fury Road," my story would be kind of like "Inglorious Basterds" meets...

Re: New to the Forum

* Danite * scrip * mixed race * Federal law prohibited the import of African slaves beginning in 1808. Setting aside whether the Massai were ever enslaved, is your first generation slave Massai warrior somewhere around his 60s? You know, since he would have had to have been captured and brought to A...

I think I experienced sleep paralysis two or three times throughout my life. You're lucky you experienced bliss. I experienced sheer terror. I'll trade you next time we're due! - Doc I had an episode of sleep paralysis during my mission. At the time, I was convinced it was an encounter with evil sp...

Re: Steak Lunch for Lawmakers From LDS Media Conglomerate

I think you're being overly generous calling it 4d chess. The idea is straightforward: the option to exercise more control over local media messaging if it feels the need. One, by imposing non-compete agreements if it starts to look like too many reporters are moving to venues not controlled by the ...
