[Drew-Sta]

Would anyone here actually read anything written by anyone here?

I would. Time is always the issue though.

I have.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

I have.

was it an offer made on the wall of a toilet cubicle?

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

That was you?!

 

[Rhino_NQ]

That was you?!

you never called

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

But I waited on the pier like you wrote. Bastard.

Riddle for the day.

"What occurs once in every minute,
Twice in every moment,
And never in a thousand years."

 

[RHCP]

The letter M.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

we have a weiner

I thought it was the opposite; he knew where he was going, he knew the arc, he knew the ending, it was the in between bit he simply struggled with (much like me).

That is, to me, a vague idea. There are some authors who plot out every moment that comes between beginning and end, but Martin seems more content to know the broad strokes and fill in the rest as he writes.

Would anyone here actually read anything written by anyone here?

A few have asked to read what I've been working on. senses has even been so kind as to send back feedback.

 

[Drew-Sta]

The letter M.

Winner!

George Martin had a 5 year gap planned, that's why the characters started so young. We all know how that turned out.

? For the ignorant, please explain.

? For the ignorant, please explain.

when he took over the plan he moved things around to ensure the gap was catered for. however what was not factored into the equation was the characters ability to transcend genres as well as growth. through manifesting his vision into a view of ongoing development, he didn't anticipate the foreclosure of time across the critical path of his opus.


duh.

 

[Misanthrope]

I can't believe the media are trying to pin those two girls stabbing another girl on the site that made Slenderman.

Well, I can, but it still sucks.

Couldn't it possibly be a mental health issue or (gasp) shitty parenting?

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I'll go with option 2 thanks Mis.

 

[Misanthrope]

Too many excuses these days. Parents dump their kids at school and expect the teachers to educate them and teach them how to be adults and when that inveitably fails because it's not a teacher's f**king job to do it on their own, they just lump the blame on television, junk food, movies, comics, video games etc.

 

[RHCP]

Haven't you heard Mis, athletes and celebrities are the real role models. Parents are incapable of stopping these ravenous role model monsters controlling their children.

Sounds about right.

Parenting seems to stop shortly after the kid leaves for school, and only resumes periodically to take credit for anything impressive the child does.

here's one for discussion..

have you ever been at a function where the wait staff top up drinks?

and the good staff can do it without you even noticing?

lets say you are driving, and you know you can only have two glasses of wine..

and as far as you know, you've finished two glasses during the evening..

you head out in your car, and come across an RBT.. you pull up, expecting everything to be sweet as you monitored your drinking and consciously only had two glasses..

but you blow over the limit and are charged, because without your knowledge your glass was topped up 4 times, leading you to drink 4 glasses instead of two?

where does the duty of care / responsibility sit here?



not that this has happened to me, and yes, fully aware that if you don't feel right to drive, you shouldn't, but lets say for this example the character in the story above felt right to drive..

kinda curious on this one.....
