Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
Hey Enderlord when you see this PM me your email so I can send you my current draft so you can beta-read.
Also speaking of which, I'm into draft 2 of my manuscript (officially, I've got more drafts below that). If anyone's interested in beta-reading it and stuff just PM me your email. It's a modern fantasy about a bi girl who discovers hidden magic and stuff.
Slightly related, I got my manuscript evaluation back. The negatives made me kinda depressed but I managed to bounce back.

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
Nice, Zodi! I'd offer... but I feel that I'm fairly terrible at evaluation, given the last time I read the first few chapters of a draft of a friend's book. So, I'd not be particularly helpful in that regard.

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
Thank you for the links!
I suspect that is yet another "after my time" cultural reference.
Why must you vex me so 21st century!
Pro-tip: The further from 1983 a pop culture reference is the less likely 2D8HP is to understand it.
Sometimes people like to speak in the third person just to say their own name.
2D8HP!

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
So you say, but assuming that's true, then even if only you appreciate them (or even if others do but are too shy to admit it), tonight I celebrate my love of 1983 pop music references. Sorry, but I couldn't resist the temptation. Perhaps this post is less clever than I think it is. Certainly it will appear in nobody's diary, and if I'm told how bad it is I may cry just a little bit, but at the end of the day I'm still standing and not to rock the boat, but if you have criticism you can rip it up because even if I haven't found favour in your eyes, I'll never never stop making references because when it comes to post formats, you just can't beat it. Unless there's a reason not to do this. Is there something I should know in that regard?
Running out of references now, so unless somebody can think of a new song I can use, it's over and I'll have to give it up. If you missed any of the references, quote the post and look at the size tags. They're a dead giveaway.Last edited by SZbNAhL; 2019-03-03 at 07:16 PM.

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
How long is the novel? I have enough stuff in my life that I don't know how good I would be for a real long novel, but a smaller one could work for me since I have a 45 minute bus ride that I could potentially help with a smaller novel (~200 pages) in a fairly reasonable time span.

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
The Sudden Impact of your references from '83 have left me Breathless, truly I'd have to be a Jedi to Return so many mentions of songs @SZbNAhL, you Rock & Rule, and have The Right Stuff a Testament to how you're Still Smokin and are one of The Survivors and aren't one of The Outsiders, if there's a King of Comedy, Eureka! Baby It's You who has All the Right Moves.
Keep on Staying Alive and don't let the Risky Business of The Hunger Keep you from The Meaning of Life @SZbNAhL! I hope at least you recognized Return of the Jedi

You probably don't want to put your e-mail address on a public forum, Caerulea, some bot will harvest it and add it to a spammer's list.

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
Well just had an initial telephone interview. Didn't go brilliantly, because I wasn't kept on past the time limit, but we got through all the questions and the interviewer seemed to like my answers to some of them, so I'm filing this one under 'longshot but technically possible'.
Interesting I seem to be one of the few people this interviewer has called who seemed to be able to give a clear description of what the job entails, including extrapolating from the information given. At this point it'll probably come down to a mixture of interview quality and final year project interestingness* versus interview length and only having a third.
* A friend of mine pointed out that my FYP is really unusual as I essentially built something from the ground up, despite being inspired by an existing project.

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
I don't like it when someone offers solutions to the problem they assume I'm trying to tell them about, rather than the one I'm actually trying to tell them about, and which they would understand if they listened. I sometimes do the same thing, admittedly, but it's not on purpose; it's a habit I inherited from my dad.
I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
See, the proper way to deal with that is to use a lash to beat the recalcitrant fools into submission. If they continue to spout independent thought or to rebel against your just and proper authority, simply bind them to the wheel of pain for a month. Then they will be much better thralls.
Or you could be talking about dealing with (at least nominal) peers instead of slaves who rise up to overthrow your system of governance, by Crom.

Well now I'm back in that place where my crush has somebody else that she likes, but isn't sure if they like her, and it's trying to make sure she causes me the least amount of pain possible.
Please send tissues and some tea to melt this ice cube in my heart.

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
I've actually started making jokes along those lines, although generally I'm one of the bit characters (generally the jerk boyfriend who showed up in one episode of least year's series).
Unfortunately I couldn't turn my love love into a TV show, the main character is unbearably pretentious and inherently unlikeable. Also a) is autistic and b) acts like a horny twelve year old at anything with some vague relation to sex.
Don't worry, I'm sure I'll come to terms with the fact I'll end up alone one of these years. (I, uh, really don't know if I should put that in blue text at this point)

Re: Roland's Merciful Modly Mash-up Random Banter Thread #221
Pshaaaah. Therein lies your problem. Start thinking of yourself as a leading man type! Decide what you want out of life, and then figure out how to become the person who gets what you want out of life. Just don't fall in to the Gaston trap where you make assumptions about what other people will want out of you.
