I write a bit...Maybe some of u have read a couple of poems I've stuck up on the forum.....
I'm not saying I'm any good or anything but I try....
Anyhow, I've started writing a book concerning texas hold em. Some of the scenes in it will be set in an online poker forum. I'd like to use this forum as the "setting" for these scenes. I'm not sure if this is allowed or not so maybe 1 of the mods could reply here to let me know.
The book I'm writing is completely fictional. I don't think I'm qualified to teach anyone anything about this game. That said, some of what I'm writing IS to do with "how to play a hand" etc..
Anyway, apart from asking the mods if I can set a scene or 2 here, I also wanted to know if anyone on the forum would mind if I used them as a "character" in the book.
Obviously I would only "use them" with their permission.
Thanks in advance, SwArM-Z
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

Lol.
Not many replies to this. Guess I'll just create a "fictional" forum of my own.
You will be appearing in it, tame_deuces. I think I have just the roll for you. You won't be a fish, though. :D
If I ever finish it and should it make a million I'll send u a cheque, m8.

I’m kind of confused, is this a Tron style story? Because that would be cool 
Seriously though what do you need us for? Character names, personality examples, general ideas?

you may use me if you wish. (for the book that is)

Ok, so far the following will appear......tame_deuces, Miss_J, Loonbat, supafrey, suitedaces84, General Sal and Fat Tony.
Not sure if Muck actually wants to appear, but he can if he wants.
To answer his question, no this is not a Tron style story, its "real life".
Basically some of the scenes need to be set in an online forum (for reasons to do with the story). Some other scenes will be set in online poker rooms. Some of the characters in these scenes will be the "main characters" in the story.
But obviously I need a load of other online characters aswell. Thats why I thought I'd ask u lot if u would like to appear.
Lastly, on the "ideas" question, obviously I have the main story line worked out. However, I haven't worked out every scene by any means. So yes, I would still be open to any ideas for a poker scene.

The irony of "Your in" when speaking about writing a book is delicious.

He's writing a book, not editing one.

I know it's been a long time...Just wondering how the book is coming along?

I never even saw this thread until today. You're welcome to use my name, zero. Can I be the antagonist? I'm good at being the evil woman.
