I try stand-up comedy, a hobby that unique in its impact on society and culture, and one where a lot people experience and think "I could probably do that". How hard could it be to make people laugh? As a huge comedy fan, I stumble on the dark art of comedy writing and write my first set. Then, I experience my first open mic.

2 weeks ago we discussed the topic of religion in fiction: basicaly how we use real world religions to inform the perspectives of our characters and make the worlds more real, how we use religion in fiction, and how we make up religions for our worlds. We had so many great responses to this in the forum and about the Quackcast that we thought it'd be great to feature and chat about them! DD is a community after all and we love our community members to be a part of the Quackcast! This week Gunwallace has given us the theme to Vagabonds Waifs and Strays. It's wonderfully serious introduction. View a vast panoramic wasteland, civilisation utterly destroyed, an end to all your hopes, dreams, and fears… The piano beautifully leads you in, step by step, as guitar soars high above, giving you a perfect bird's eye view of the destruction spread out in all directions for thousands of kilometres far below.
