You're right about the caps crap when it comes to earth. Expressions that mention earth are lowercase, otherwise caps. Same goes for heaven and hell. Go to hell is lowercase, whereas Satan lives in Hell. I was fortunate this time around because I use frequent Bible quotes that have to be quoted exactly as found in the Bible, right down to the punctuation. As a result, I'm forced to always write earth, heaven, and hell for consistency with the quotes. Most Bibles use lowercase, including the NRSVCE that I use. Pronouns related to God (he, him, etc.) are also lowercase.

Problem solved. The DNA sample disappears from the lab before it can be analyzed. What she doesn't know is that she's being watched at every turn by demons, who are trying to keep her from determining whether or not Connor is her son.

As long as you understand that "credit" comes in the form of being made fun of as characters in the book. For example, Kdot (formerly K.) appears as Lady Kay (a femme fatale). Also appearing are Janet Reid (a male ship's AI that fantasizes about becoming Queen Aussie), Janet Taylor-Perry (a child serial killer who invents all the poisons used in the book), njc (appears as the equation N=j^c2 needed for time travel in a coconut-powered time machine), and our dearly departed friend, Amy S, who appeared as Dr. Amy Ess, a vaccine inventor who brought civilization to its knees in the late 21st century, making the rest of the story possible.

Do you fancy yourself as a one-eyed parrot with a wooden leg who swears like a sailor?

Welcome to the site. Don't worry too much about the legacy accounts. Many people sign up for a free trial, but then realize they can't make enough time to be a serious writer. We also have many legacy accounts from an older site that was replaced by this one.

In honor of Australian writers past and present, I give you an excerpt from a book I was working on a few years back. Set in the year 4017.

Chapterhouse Dune epigraph: it is possible to know so much about a subject that you become totally ignorant.

It's a huge remake of the 1984 version of Dune (that was a mess), but done in two parts. Probably a budget similar to Star Wars 9. Almost every set was built rather than green-screened. The down side is that coronavirus will probably keep it from making any real money, which means they may never do part two. Like you, I didn't care for the miniseries on the SyFy channel, although their miniseries of Dune Messiah/Children of Dune was pretty good, with James McAvoy as Leto II and Alice Krige (aka the Borg Queen) as Lady Jessica.

Replace stranger with strangler. It still looks wrong in caps. :-)
