Table Talk – Counting Words and Runaway Tales

However, this can often lead to pitfalls and unforeseen circumstances.

Table Talk – Questions from the Readers 1.0

As you may have seen, last week we opened up Table Talk to questions from the readers at the request of C. William Russette. While a few crickets chirped briefly, the questions did start rolling in. Now, Barry Reese, Bobby Nash and Mike Bullock have answered the first two reader questions, while discussing the merits of removing limbs from a certain New Pulp character the three of them know and love.
Recently, a reader of the Table Talk columns asked if Barry Reese, Bobby Nash, and Mike Bullock would answer questions from readers. Well, the guys liked the idea so much they’ve decided to open this up to all the fine readers of newpulpfiction.com. Today marked the first installment of the column with reader questions. Due to the positive feedback, we want to keep this going.
