I know James Cameron has done it in a lot of his work and it is the main theme of the movie "Insidious" but what other directors use child endangerment as a way to advance their theme and create suspense?
Steven Spielberg used it in a lot of movies.
I’ve read twilight and now I cant get enough of these types of books! I loved hush hush by Becca fitzpatrick, and I love the whole teen vampire/angle/immortal idea, but lately ive found no paranormal romance books ive really loved, books worthy to read again and again. Please help! 
You should definetly check out the Blue Bloods series by Melissa De La Cruz. There are 6 books and 2 companion books so far. The cool thing about these series is that the companion books you don’t have to read but they act like encyclopedias for when your halfway through the series, and also contain like "behind the scene" moments of the characters relationships, fights, etc. Here’s the list in order:
1. Blue Bloods
2. Masquerade
3. Revelations
4. The Van Alen Legacy
5. Misguided Angel
6. Lost in Time
*The last book in this series doesn’t come out till January 2013.
**Once you get through the series, there’s actually a character in the books that’s gonna start having her own series which is cool.
***The companion books: Keys to the Repository and Bloody Valentine. Keys to the Repository comes in between The Van Alen Legacy and Misguided Angel and Bloody Valentine comes in between Misguided Angel and Lost in Time
Hope this helps! I recommend this series =)
I am getting my first rc car, I want the slash vxl (1/10). I have had previous rc experience because my brother has a traxxas grinder. Where is the cheapest place to buy the rc car at full quality and is this an appropriate first rc car? Where I live there is a skatepark, some offroad and practically everyone owns a big ramp. Also I frequently go to the beach.

I’m a big science fiction and fantasy reader, and I’ve read all the classic science fictioni/fantasy books. Can anyone suggest a few newer authors with material that would make a good read? I love all books, of any genre, but I’m really leaning toward science fiction and fantasy.
Look into the black magician series by Trudi Canavan. Also check out the series by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts Mistress of the Empire.
I’ve been searching everywhere on the web, but I simply cannot find any xmen slash that has an original, made up character as the lead character. I’ve exhausted all the stories there and I’m just hoping that someone could guide me to a site similar to that one.
Have you tried aarinfantasy.com/forum they have alot of xmen slash. You have to make an account but it free and worth it!

I have finally written my first book, and looking to get it published.What are some good publishers, and how do i get into contact with them?
This is the time to do your own research and start building your list of literary agents and publishers. You’ll be hard pressed to find a publisher because so few take unsolicited manuscripts, but they’re out there. Check agentquery.com, publishersmarketplace.com and aaronline.com for a list of agents. Visit their websites and read their guidelines. Make sure they represent what you’ve written before sending anything off to them. If possible, read some of their current client works to see what type of writing styles they like. You’ll have the best success if you can narrow down your list to the agents who are looking for exactly what you’ve written and that you have a writing style that fits their tastes, which entails reading some books from their client list to gauge the agents’ tastes. Its’ fine if you don’t’ want to do that, though.
As far as publishers goes, there are small and mid-sized publishers that might accept unagented manuscripts. Most large publishers won’t, but there are a few exceptions with one or two imprints. There are also ebook publishers that you might want to consider. Some people find it easier to find an ebook publisher than a print publishers, but ebook publishers have different standards than a print publisher. For instance, selling 20,000 copies of an ebook might make you a success, but a print publisher will need your book to sell 100,000+ copies for it to be a success. So, print publishers are looking at the bigger picture and trying to appeal to a wider audience and most ebooks can’t do this.
It’s obvious that you haven’t done your homework. I suggest you start researching publishing right now. Learn it inside out over the next few months. It’s hard to take you seriously if you expect someone to take your hand and tell you everything without putting in your own effort to do the research. That’s just lazy and lazy writers don’t become published.
It’s also important to do your own research because publishing is laced with many scams and con artists who want nothing more than to take your money; their goal isn’t to get your book published. You’ll need to learn how to spot them. There are also incompetent literary agents and small publishers who will ruin your book, so you’ll need to know what to look for in a good, reliable agent and publisher. Research will help you with this. You can google writer beware. It’s website had great information about the many scams plaguing the industry.
Lastly, the fact that you’ve done zero research shows by the fact that you’ve asked this question. Which publisher or agent you choose will depend on what they publish or represent so no one here can give you any names without even knowing what genre you’ve written. Duh! Publishing 101.
Also, why is your question in the SEO section, which is completely the wrong section for this type of question. Where you too lazy to look for the correct subforum? I hope this isn’t a pattern… Just sayin!
1) Is there an accounting standard, guideline, precedence that a suspense account should be cleared and closed within a period of time?
2) If it is rolled over – is there any guideline for what would be the reasonable time frame?
3) Is there any penalty for not clearing the suspense account within due/reasonable time?
(Any concrete reference would be highly appreciated). Thanks.
1) As a background, suspense accounts are temporary holding accounts for financial information on the general ledger. They are used to book large entries quickly or hold certain items that will be broken down at a later time. Suspense accounts may be reconciled each month to ensure that all the financial information posted will be properly disbursed to other accounts.
2) As a matter of good internal control, ALL accounts should be reconciled monthly, although some immaterial accounts may only be reconciled quarterly. Suspense accounts can create several problems if not balanced correctly. Carrying a balance in the suspense account each month can cause financial information to become overlooked and unallocated to the proper account. If the suspense account has a high volume of transactions, reconciling the account to find out where the remaining balance goes can be time-consuming.
Additionally, having a suspense account presented on the financial statements with a balance can weaken the statements to outside investors. Suspense accounts are viewed negatively, since the information contained in the suspense account is an unallocated amount.
3) There is no statutory penalty I know of for not clearing the suspense account on any time frame. However, the external auditors will take notice if the amounts are material and require a proper accounting of the balance contained within the suspense account(s).
There is no overriding reference for this subject.
Someone told me they heard of different publishers paying people who read their books and give reviews. Does anyone know of any publishers who are doing this?
Interesting. Most publishing houses have in-house readers, who will read a manuscript, vet it and either recommend it for acceptance or reject it. These are often people who have taken entry level jobs and want to get into the publishing industry, so they are already part of the organization. and the reviews are all in-house – that is, they don’t go to the outside public.
Newspapers pay reviewers to read books and give reviews, and these are published, but it isn’t easy to convince a newspaper editor that you are qualified to review books. You could always try writing a sample review of a book and submitting that.
So i was wondering how much do publishers pay authors to write a non-fiction book?
For example, how much authors receive for writing books for "For Dummies" series?
Do they pay them up-front like $20,000 or just royalties?
They get paid upfront via an advance, but it depends on the contract. Once the advance is paid back (through the author’s royalties in book sales) then the author will start collecting direct royalties from book sales, so it’s not either you get an advance or you get royalties. The author is paying you some of the royalties in advance. Once you start selling books, the publisher will keep your portion of the royalties until recoup their advance. When that happens is when you start getting direct royalties from each book sale yourself. If that makes sense.
How much you get paid in advance depends on too many variables. It depends on if it’s a hardcover or softcover. Whether you have an agent negotiating your contract or you’re doing it yourself; statistics show people with agents get paid more money. It depends on if the publisher is small, mid-sized, or large. Obviously the larger publishers have more money to pay you while a small publisher doesn’t.
