that is advanced, can't say I've heard that before.

well, I'm no professional either. it would be the blind leading the blind then. I just never heard the term used like that before. I figured since you were the one using the term, you could explain it. no big deal.

okay. fine. i thought one thing. you thought another. we're all good, all wrapped up.

every author is going to be different. but if you ever read anything of mine? I don;t care *what* you correct, or how you say it. the end result is the same: here's an error, now I can fix it. never hesitate, is my motto. worst an author can do, is ignore it. that's worst case scenario. maybe...

i'm just trying to envision 'hardboiled romance'. my first inclination is the fusion of hardboil detective fiction, with a generous blend of a traditional romance or I guess the romance itself could be 'hardboiled'. I'm just not sure what that would mean. is either of these what you meant, OP? I...

be logical. is it better when they're nice about it? sure. result, you get to correct something. is it not as good when they're rude? sure. but result, you still get to correct something. note that the result is identical. the only down side, is getting butt hurt. i want results, how I get them...

and there was much wailing, and gnashing of teeth and the grifters, they did pull at their hair, and rubbed ashes on their skin, and they wore vestments of sack-cloth. and they cried out. why hast thou forsaken us. But Tony saw that their works were not true. and there was a great war in the...

yeah. I picture eldoria, as a sort of cute anime character. like, smurfs? but anime. la la, la-la-la-la... oh, fresh wild strawberries! yum!... la la la but, what I need is, like, the "bad" smurfette anime. like, the bad twin sister, from the other side of the tracks. cigarette hanging out of...

he's dead. its like "Weekend at Bernie's", the movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekend_at_Bernie%27s L1aei and whoever he chugs cheap vodka with at the moment? Prop him up and tap his fingers on the keyboard to 'authorize' things. its fucked up.

I wish i could get "the Oracle" Eldoria to look at excerpts of my stuff, but... as my (usual) luck would have it. i'm pretty sure I'm on her "this makes me uneasy" list. the site needs an "r-rated" version of eldoria, LMAO

I think we're basically saying same/similar thing. no, I dig. your hero is mad as hell and he isn't going to take it anymore. He can't take it anymore. revenge, vengeance, something. when its bad enough of a "thing"? it makes sense for the hero to fight like something;s trying to claw its way...

I always lean towards heavier and darker themes. for me, it seems to raise the stakes somewhat. more villainous villains, make for a more heroic hero. I also like to show the "toll" that it all takes, on the hero. just because my hero "wins", the hero doesn't feel like celebrating. my MC is...

well... you said: What the f*ck are you trying to convey here. when what you meant was: 'Dude, what are you trying to say?' then judging by the other people responding, more concise words were, in fact, not needed. they seemed to be able to help him just...

not any more, it seems like. you can still make fanfics, but only because you enjoy it. working for nothing, like the rest of us original authors. welcome to our world. will you still write, for free? number on the screen, like the score on a video game. that's all I get paid.

welcome to the great artist scam. We all (authors) get these constantly.

I have played, the great great grandfather of A-L-L first person shooters. most people know about "Castle Wolfenstein 3-d" its the original gangsta, the prototype first person shooter. what many don;t know? is that before that... there was a "Castle wolfenstein" original. you sort of looked...

I really wasn't a big gamer, I was into other stuff. Still, there was this one period. I got sort of hooked on something vintage. StarCraft. When someone wanted to play "retro games" and wanted to have them all on an old laptop... I set them up. which led to something weird. We had the laptop...

is it necessary to be so rude? look further down, and you can watch as someone is trying to understand what they were trying to put into words. more than one, actually. my guess is that they're original language is French, that's just my guess. maybe try being helpful.

the sentences you picked out, seem to be fairly well constructed. as well as somewhat... poetic. If there is some fine line between "purple prose" and "poetic", its not that bad a stab at it. a little melodramatic, sure. But if the author hits and holds that, it might really read well and shine...

here's a theme I use in more than one book. the people that seek power? most of them, shouldn't have it. seeking power, is in its own way, usually a signal of their impurity. likewise. people that have no wish for power. indeed, some will even try to refuse power. those are the people, again...
