Two of us - a gay male writer and a lesbian female writer - decided to create a group for LGBTs who are serious about their writing, and want to share their work in an environment that understands and celebrates LGBT literature. The purpose of the group is to support each other's writing endeavors through positive encouragement, thoughtful critique and celebration. The format is biweekly meetings during which we discuss the work of two or three writers, depending on length of submissions. We'll …

Writing can be lonely existence. Sometimes, it's good to get out from behind the keyboard, see the sun and take a moment to talk to others who feel your pain, know your highs and lows and can offer support and guidance. The Westchester Writers Round Table is open to anyone who has decided to take the plunge and work on the craft of becoming a writer. It doesn't matter whether you've just finished your first chapter or have published a dozen books. Whether you write mysteries, children's books, h …

We decided to set up this group because our 13 year old would like to start playing Dungeons and Dragons but none of his friends are interested. All of the local groups are for adults, so we decided to set up a group whereby younger players can arrange meet-ups, safely, and with parental supervision. Access to group information will, therefore, be restricted to member families only.

WHO WE ARE: While there are a couple of other veg groups in the area (much love to y'all), this group is intended for a more focused cadre of people: those vegans with an affinity for other subcultures. So, if you're just into the joys of veganism, herbal teas, bicycling, meditation, and empowering your soul with the expressions of various worldly cultures, good on you, but handshake: there's the cyber-door. However, if you can hold forth on why Venom was more fascinating than Carnage, I want yo …

I belong to a few horror groups, but sometimes you just want to stay local. This group is for those who want to get together talk horror, watch some films, play some xbox, go to conventions and meet like minded horror fans. We also write horror blogs so we get access to movies early and would like to share that with other fans, especially indie films. So if you live in Queens and want to check out all types of horror films(zombies, indie, b-movies, exploitation, foreign, Troma, New), play games, …
