The Myspace

The Maelstrom is working on connecting with all you awesome readers. So we have started a myspace where you can friend (if you have an account this is), comment, and cyber dance with us! At this little hidey-hole of internet networking-dom you'll be able to check our release calendar (May is a busy month in the publishing world this year) and follow some Maelstrom events as they occur. Who knows? Contests and challenges may perhaps loom in the future. And go see others' profiles too. There are already some fantastic authors who have become even more awesome in our word-struck eyes by friending us (us? really? W00T!) So head over and tell us what you think! The "Charybdis Calling" awaits (if you know what that alludes to then comment in the C-Box)!

Always in Pursuit of Odyssey,

The Deep Questions in Life...

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.

What Be Your Nerd Type? Quizzes for MySpace

Woah... Totally didn't see that result coming. And the secretary says: sarcasm duly noted. This quiz was surprisingly enjoyable. I discovered it whilst trolling for book-blogs. There are quite a few questions, but I suppose that is merely to allow for a more "accurate" result.

But it got me thinking. Do you think this quiz, or any other that categorizes, is manipulative and promoting stereotypes? Just pondering as I really can't make up my mind. Comment away. What is your opinion?
