From circumstantial evidence.
(You're not very complicated.)
That's bc I save my best writing for people I'm actually trying to impress. ;)
Like I said, my participation on this story thread is a big "if"
Like... if I decide I have the time to care.
Which means that somebody will have to show enough interest in my work to make me care about whether or not they're entertained by it. "Somebody" being Ed and/ or Meta and maybe Rayven.
If there are others who want to see what I can do, I might indulge them. I might not. My schedule through June and July will be the deciding factor.
What i meant was: even though I'm not a die-hard SF fan, i do appreciate the genre. (Vonnegut & all that.) It appears to me (may link relevant posts if needed), that you do not possess the requisite perspective to pull it off well.
You may excel at other genres tho for all what i know, just change the shelf / target readership. Good luck.
by XenaI'm not trying to be Milton. Are you?
Nope. Never had any literary pretensions, not my cake.
I'm not mentioning Mozart, etc. etc. bc I'm not aiming for opera
See? You know jack(white)shyte about what lays beyond your points of reference. Opera is only a tiny little segment of it (much of opera is crap anyway, except a few baroque works).
That so-called "hoodwinked proletarian angst" is a tradition within the SF genre, silly.
You may want to re-think that one, lol.
Eek! The roots of feminism!

And that one too.
You're trolling me, wooster. Give me your critique with proper examples from SF that back up your point
( that class conflict is not a tradition within the genre) or criticize my understanding at the risk of making yourself look extremely foolish.
Rethink Mary Wollstonecraft's work (and that of her progeny) as one of the cornerstones of feminism? lol. You'd better quit while you're behind.
Well my oh my, looks like we got an old fashioned cat fight here and y'all know I'm not gonna stay quiet (right Lycan, you little cutie pie? ;) ).
by RayvenWhat I find sad about you is that though you are very intelligent- there are some very basic life skills you are lacking because you hide in a box instead of getting out in the world more- forcing yourself to gain some coping skills- and possibly learning what I learned far younger than you.
If I got this right, a middle-aged hair dresser/single mother, wannabe porn writer, who's primary 'love' relationship is with someone she met online in a sociopath community is trying to teach life lessons to a young college student who out-witted her in every post? Well spank my ass, that's just cute.
It's not about the truth in the end. It's about how you learn to play the game.
Aw baby doll, exactly what game is it you think you've mastered?
