This is the Official Bebo page for Aberdeen University's Creative Writing Society.

We meet every Thursday from 7.00pm onwards, upstairs at The Red Lion pub, 130 Spital which is just up from King's College on the Bus 20 route.

Whether you're a current member, past member, thinking about joining in the future or just interested in creative writing in general then feel free to join our Bebo page.

We also have a website on the University server at www.abdn.ac.uk/~src091/.

If you like writing letters then why not send one to:

Aberdeen University Creative Writing Society
The Hub
Elphinstone Road
Old Aberdeen
AB24 3TU
United Kingdom

A loose ceiling panel in the Beastie hides some amyl nitrate, Earl Brutus CD's, sherbet and the Marilyn Monroe sex film. Maybe...

Best of 2007/ 8 - David
First off, great reading last night, i think the sheer variation that we had really made the night something special. Whole year's had a wide range of stuff making the anthology a good collection too, far stronger collection than either of the previous two anyway so well done to us.

Anyway, thought i'd give a quick rundown of my favourite things from the year:

Favourite poems:
Anything by the excellent miss Brooker or Gavin's watersprites/ politics poem

Favourite short story:
Lots to choose from, though would have to go for Ashley's very jewish tale which was written to the usual high standard. Also very fond of one of the extracts Chris handed in (can't remember the name, but it was an opening section for some characters and took place during the christmas season)

Favourite reading:
Usually it would be Jo who had the standout reading, but this year Ciaren really stood out with a strong presence and energy, managing to do some strong serious work followed by Ginger Tossers which was just hilarious. Had the entire crowd loving it from the title alone and kept them in his hand for the entire duration

Most interesting story:
Gain's piece of hisotrical fiction was frankly very unique. Stands out stylistically and conceptually from everything else in the CWS year

Anyway, so how about everyone else? What are your picks?

Hey, slackers! You got any books on sale yet? What! I work in an office which has eavesdroppable banter of a standard of 'I love crisps'. Give me interesting things! And I can' believe you still hadn't revoked my permissions... Gleeful greetings from the land's bovine bureaucrats, troops...

Varies a lot depending on how many people are reading, but i'd say on average we probably finish readings around 8.30/ 8.45

Hi, sorry I didn't turn up yesterday. (Don't know if Chris said I would or not.) I'd like to say it was because I was abducted by aliens or something equally interesting, but I'm afraid I just forgot! Cyas tomorrow.

Hiya,

We've set a site up for people looking for flat/room shares. It's still getting started off at the moment, but if you would like to add it to your groups for future reference we would really appreciate your support.

This was mainly set up for young people going to college/uni or just starting out at work.

Thanks for reading and the URL is http://www.bebo.com/Flatshare-flatmate

Happy Christmas :D
