Ms. Mod, after working for Mr. King for so long, has it ever occurred to you to try your hand at writing short stories, novellas, novels? Or, perhaps you already do?
I'm going to guess maybe you're not a writer already (I could turn out to be surprised).
If you are not, I suggest giving it a go and posting something here on the board. Be an interesting change of pace. Maybe a couple/few thousand words; you could even use your position as an assistant to a horror author for ideas. There's got to be a horror story just on that, and on moderating the boards. It would surprise me somewhat if, after working, at least tangentially, in the writing/content business, that a book/screenplay idea hasn't crossed your mind. Everyone has an idea somewhere in their mind, whether it be a movie, TV series, whatever. I would find it fascinating to see you write something, even a dollar-baby adaptation that someone else would lens/animate.
That gives me an idea -- "The Moderator." Actually, that would be a great title for a Bentley Little story. A character starts posting on a message board and gets in trouble with -- the moderator. Or, it could be plural: gets in trouble with -- the moderators. Kind of marketable, if I do say so myself.
(By the way, to the actual moderators -- I have no idea how you do that tag thing. Below is the best I could do, that's why I titled the post as I did.)
