Why this name?

slick /slik/ n. 1. A slippery smoothness
2. A magazine or a book printed on good quality paper


Okay, So there are mainly two reasons why I ended up with the name "slick fiction"
a. I am still in awe of the last movie that I watched. Don't exactly remember its name, it was Pulp something!!
b. The blog address pulpfiction was already taken

So here I am stuck with 'slick'. Isn't it slick?

It
is my first day so I started by looking up Blogging ethics. The first result was this article http://www.cyberjournalist.net/news/000215.php

What I got from the article was that a Blogger's code of ethics do exist.
  • Be honest and fair - If you borrow(steal) someone's work at least label the work as stolen and before lying let others know that you are a big fat liar
  • Minimize harm - The key word being minimize, as if harm is inevitable
  • Be accountable - Stand up for what you've done/written/stolen even if its not really your idea and you merely copied to make your blog look 'fuller'
I think its better to accept the truth and here i present a 'modified' code of ethics
  • Pretend to be honest and fair, even if you are not
  • Pretend that you wished to cause minimum harm even if you just killed someone
  • Be accountable and stand up for what you've written/stolen or claim that you were drunk last night.
Happy Blogging to me :-)
