Hobbyist Writer, love to write short stories.
I have a blog at http://dimefiction.com/ that contains my fiction.

Do You Use Any Version Controlling Software/Methods As Writers? @JW Not really. At one point I actually started writing my own Version Control system for Celtx, but in the meantime I switched to Scrivener and haven't followed it through. |

Spaceships - It or She? Good thought. The "it" comes from "the ship" earlier in the sentence, but making the connection between "The Invincible" and "the ship" is the kicker. |

Spaceships - It or She? It's an important "character", maybe comparable to the Battlestar Galactica. So you would stick to "she"? |

I'm not a great pantser; what kind of preparation do I need for NaNoWriMo? @Ralph Well, "Erotic Fiction" is one of the possible categories for NaNoWriMo Novels. |

When should one *not* present events in chronological order? @Axonn Well, "rejected" would have been the proper word, but I guess the idea is clear :P |

How much planning should go on before beginning writing? @slashmais Yes, but it's a very technical approach. There are people that can just start writing without knowing where they are going and are just surprised themselves when they see where the story ends. |

Out of this world… Giving it time? @John I thought this is a site for Writers :D Can't help it, once I start the first sentence the next 5 paragraphs just flow naturally. |

Out of this world… Giving it time? If that works for you, do that. But don't be afraid to later change the numbers to make them "feel" better or because you want to give the year or whatever. Unless the reader knows the absolute year, it's just a number that can be changed. |

Out of this world… Giving it time? Meh, typing on an iPad is still hard, sorry for the typos, will try to correct them tomorrow. |

How do you track random thoughts and ideas? +1 As well. I'm a tech geek that owns 3 PDAs and 2 Phones, an iPad and 3 Laptops, yet I always carry a paper notebook and a small pen with me because you just can't beat the bootup time and fidelity you gain from it. Moleskine is great because of the hard back and the rubber string that keeps it closed |

Organizing your Universe? This actually looks fantastic: Mac and Windows and it keeps everything in simple RTFD files, so writing a Version Control/Publishing system for it is simple enough. |

Is there a standardized size for Books? Just btw, I've asked a question about the number of pages now because I think it's a good question or Writers.SE and you had a good answer: writers.stackexchange.com/questions/352 |

Is there a rule of thumb about the number of pages a work of fiction should have? Just for the record: I'm asking this because an earlier question about size was misu0derstood and I think that a question (#349) about the number of pages makes sense. |

Is there a standardized size for Books? I'm sorry that my question was unclear, I meant physical dimensions rather than number of pages :( |

Do You Use Any Version Controlling Software/Methods As Writers? I think he means VisualSVN Server, which is a pre-configured Apache Web Server with the SVN Module and a nice MMC-GUI to manage it - it's basically a 2-click-Installation and works with any SVN Client, not just the VisualSVN VS Plugin. |
