Re: Random & Fun

The problem with this is they're going to ask people to pay for what you can currently get, in multitude, all over the internet. I wondered about this. I think the market may be different. Yes, people who already read fanfic are going to know where to get it for free. But I think that's a pretty sm...

Re: Random & Fun

Ever wonder why publishers dont try to monetize the whole fanfic thing? Y'know, instead of ignore or C&D it, why not try selling it, and split the cash between the author and the owner of the IP? Amazon apparently have. Tempting to be cynical, especially given the franchises they discuss and all...

Re: Ackpth! and other onomatopoeias

Viva done. Heaps and heaps of corrections, but they liked the main material. So, yay.

I get to be human again now.

Fantastic Chris! ;D

And best of all, now when you're putting forth your opinion on a piece of writing, you can preface it with "In my experience as a published author..." ;)

Re: Ackpth! and other onomatopoeias

What's that? A small amount of snow in London? That means it's time to play W H E E L O F T R A N S P O R T ! Just spin the wheel - will you gamble on this train moving some time and stay on it, or get off and risk losing everything? Does it even matter? Okay, I'm done moaning about this now. But st...

Re: The Simpsons Golden Years

I think I'd maybe go as far as some episodes of season 10. But beyond that, that's it for me.

Re: Ackpth! and other onomatopoeias

Oh for the love of god...

It is a bit cold. Do greater anglia trains require a warm tank + heat lamp or something? Are they tropical trains, ill suited to our climate? Can i get the RSPCT to press charges? If not what is going on?

Re: Ackpth! and other onomatopoeias

There has not been a single day this week that my trains have not been screwed up and left me sitting around for hours. Not. A. Single. Day.

Let's see how tomorrow goes...

Re: Ackpth! and other onomatopoeias

Dear princess celestia, Today I learned that when it is snowy, you should not assume that the 0729 train at platform 4 is the usual 0729, and hop on just as the doors are closing. I will have a great deal of time to think about this lesson as I sit in a country station which could act as a metaphore...
