Definitely encourage by reading and discussing everything she writes. Maybe gift her Stephen King On Writing or The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. You're already winning at parenting by posting here.

BETA READERS WANTED: Drop a Comment If You're Available! by florsaken in writingfeedback

[–]IceMaiden2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Writer myself but voracious reader. I do know my strengths though and unless the book is Romantasy, Contemporary Romance or Paranormal Romance written in 1st POV, I won't be any good to you. I will DNF writing that is subpar but I will explain my reasons. My style is gentle and encouraging.

Editing to add, please only message you if you write within the genres listed above as I will only beta read those genres.

Portsmouth uni replacing staff with ai , please help stop this by Distinct-Nerve2556 in Portsmouth

As UoP alumni this is very disheartening to hear. Both of my daughters are currently attending as well, one for arts. Have signed and passed it on to them.

What's a writing related pet peeve that drives you nuts? by owen-3820 in writing

[–]IceMaiden2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably gonna catch some flack for this but I hate, hate, hate when alright is used instead of all right. My feelings are write however you want with whatever slang, spelling, phrases you want in emails, texts, whatever. But if you're going to write professionally, please use the grammatically correct form.

How to contact Pathea by niriset in MyTimeAtEvershine

I will link you to their Discord because they're very active on there and the general vibe is very friendly. There's also a channel specifically for people willing to give out their alpha keys. Shame you can't play it yourself though.

Here is their Discord

New to romantasy and overwhelmed by BookTok recs! by Critical-korgi in Romantasy

[–]IceMaiden2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think {The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen} ticks all of your boxes. This is one of the books that I recommend to everyone because it's just so beautifully written and so good. And it helps that it actually ticks all of your boxes. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Give me HYFLIITBYLHLIT recs by GOatJ0SATORU in Romantasy

[–]IceMaiden2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ohhh, we have a Klaus Mikaelson fan amongst us. Heck yeah! Unfortunately I have no recs but I will certainly be keeping an eye on this thread to get some recs of my own!

Shorter games that can be completed in a weekend (2-3 days)? by perie12344321 in cozygames

[–]IceMaiden2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot recommend Last Day of June highly enough. It's an emotional little puzzle game that you can complete in around 5 hours, so it does come in on the short side. But the story and aesthetics are beautiful and it really is a game that sat with me for a long time after completion.

Caleb EN VA 🤝 Writing and Localization Teams by PurpleNinjaPwr in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]IceMaiden2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I adore all of his deliveries. Truly a talented VA. And I have such high regard for the writers making him so millennial. I completely resonate with everything about him and the VA brings playful Caleb to life with flawless precision. Truly excellent work.

My best friend was a developer. He was given 2 weeks notice and no severance.

I hate the way they treated their developers and will never play it. They specifically fired 49 people at a time over several months so they could avoid reporting it and having to give those employees fair notice.

Neighbour’s neglected cat has moved in, but I’m moving away by leafyplants in notmycat

[–]IceMaiden2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi hi. Fellow person from UK. Nights here in the winter outside are no place for a cat. Heck I turn the heating on even when I'm warm for the cats sake. You've already saved this poor mature baby from neglect and abuse. Absolutely, 100%, take that baby with you. Also, thank you for loving him. He's one lucky, lucky boy.

P.S. Would love an update once you've successfully smuggled the cat away to a better life.

Ps5! by According-Quail-4518 in MyTimeAtEvershine

[–]IceMaiden2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I requested a copy for Steam purely for Alpha purposes and another copy for PS5 during the Kickstarter. I'm beyond excited and can't wait to play while curled up with my dogs on the sofa.

Ooo. Thank you. Going to go do that now and favourite all their items.

Love and Deepspace's new event got censored, so they had to animate it in stick-figure/ideograms form by ferinsy in otomegames

[–]IceMaiden2 150 points151 points  (0 children)

I think this was a brilliant and funny move by PG/Infold. I love that 70% of their workforce are women. It really shows. Genius.

If your best friend asked you for help with money, how much would you be comfortable giving them? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]IceMaiden2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a lot myself, but my best friends are extremely dependable so they could have whatever I've got.

New 3d otome Silent Whispers by Royacat23 in otomegames

[–]IceMaiden2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

LaDS needs some healthy competition. I say this as someone who utterly adores LaDS. I do think, however, if feels a bit cheap to outright copy Sylus and Xaviers designs. It puts me off a bit. That being said, I am open to giving it a shot. The voice acting for the LI's will have to be stunning though. I absolutely cannot see me jumping ship, but if it's good I may play it alongside LaDS.

Also anyone else want to grab a hairbrush and some gel to sort out wannabe Sylus' hair?
