You're an ass, Bob. I'm sorry; did you actually make a point there? Are you saying that you did indeed say what you mean--which you failed to do--or are you reiterating the fact that you only appreciate positive criticism? I actually like some of your writing. It doesn't suck too hard...

My sentiments exactly, Val. Manuscript, sir, may I ask whether or not you perhaps idolize Happy Noodle Boy? I think he'd be rather cross with you for stealing his style.

I like the metaphors and the use of words, but something about the thing as a whole makes it very gritty. It doesn't really seem to flow.

I'm more into either actual roleplay or chat-rooms turned roleplay rooms, personally. If you like those ideas, I could try to send you a few, assuming you're over 18.

Right now, I'm reading a classic: Cry, the Beloved Country. It's a really beautiful book thus far, albeit tedious. Basically, it's the time of the apartheid in South Africa, and Kumalo, a pastor, has received a letter saying that his sister is ill, from Msimangu, and has gone to Johannesburg...

My plan is to be a researcher in criminals, to prevent criminals, to have one of my own children, one from foster care, and to live out my life with my beautiful man.

1984. That's all that needs to be said.

I don't know if this really qualifies as an "ending", but the last two hundred pages of The Thorn Birds was pretty hard to get through. It's about 560 pages total, so I absolutely had to finish it after having gotten so far. The gist is: everyone dies, everything is taken from everyone who is...

The only time that I like first person writing in a novel is when different chapters are from different points of view. For instance, in Blue Girl, if I remember correctly, the three or four main characters each get a few chapters to themselves, in first person. So you still get the full...

Ever read Faerie Tale, by Raymond E Feist? It's always what pops up in my head at the idea of horror books.

I just discovered: gynophagia (n). the sexual fetish involving fantasies of the cooking and consumption of human females. and cynophagia (n). "dog-eating". (cyno- prefix being greek for puppies, an expert assures me). Also, I just looked up the Saturn one, and: I found that at...

Again, are you talking master/slave, captor/captive, plantation owner type thing and slave worker? Slavery can be very different, depending on the era, the definition, and the culture.

::cough:: Depends on what kind of master/slave relationship you mean. ::cough::

You pretty much write the way you think/talk, right?

*nods* Okay. Like I said, most of those depend on the message you want to get across, as well as the context. The "once" one doesn't need a comma. But, "once" can be used as an introductory phrase. For example, "Once, I had a pet zebra. But it died." Or something like that.

I use Opera and Firefox, but I've still got poor, neglected IE.

I don't mean to be rude, but is English your first language? Also, some of those depend on the effect you want, along with context.

Hi! I'm working on a few languages myself, but I'm nowhere near fluent. I envy. So hard. Nice to meet you!

Chortle. There's nothing better.

Think of it this way. A comma is, basically, a pause of breath. Would you say "Do you think (pause) Sam (pause) is telling the truth?" or "Do you think Sam is telling the truth?"
