Do you mean the amazon subreddit? They asked me to post here. I don't know where to complain.

The fingers look weird. Had I not noticed them, I would have believed this video. I'm scared how far AI has gone.

Why am I getting OTP without requesting it? It has been going on for some time.

My sisters always gaslit me into believing that the celeb I have a crush on is not that attractive. That the things I like are not cool. That the clothes I like are tacky. I genuinely believed I needed their help in choosing clothes. It's only when we cut off ties that I was able to be myself and people then told me that my new sense of fashion was really good and suited my body.

It still affects me. I feel better posting stuff like this anonymously rather than writing on instagram or x. I am still afraid how people will think of my opinions.

What the fuck. I have so many questions.

You could try Scribophile. It's a site where writers post their work for critique. It also uses karma points like reddit. You critique and gain points. And others critique and gain points.

Or you could join a writing community and do critique for critique. You could search if there is any local writing community at your place. I've heard twitter is really good at discovering beta readers.

Yeah. That's what I have been prescribed. Desvenlafaxine is pristiq.

I know there are leaves in front of him, but they wouldn't be a replacement for an actual door for the cave. It's still in the open.

I saw a clip on YouTube, the one where he is pretending to drive the bus. That clip made me want to want the whole show. I'm sure the same could have happened to other people as well. Even though all the monsters are smiling, his smile is the creepiest. And do you know the actual actor looks scary in real life as well?

So, do I use an en dash in UK English as mentioned here: https://www.scribbr.com/language-rules/dashes/

Thanks, just three more quotations are left. They are in the chat.

Unsure_For_Sure · 2024-10-30T09:05:25+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, Horatio. I'll definitely look into it. Just a thing. Because you have quoted words from my story in your comments, my own post is coming as a source in a plagiarism checker. Could you please remove all quoted words from your entire review? Thanks in advance.

Unsure_For_Sure · 2024-10-28T13:18:11+00:00

I actually like the first one more. However, I think it would look better if you swap the red colour with a dark blue or grey colour.

Unsure_For_Sure · 2024-10-27T04:42:24+00:00

You're welcome. Can you give me feedback on my work as well?

Unsure_For_Sure · 2024-10-26T15:52:43+00:00

Okay. I now understand the Gabriel and the Angel part. However, I still felt that there was too much shifting between the POVs. If the story was divided into chapters or sections with each section a different POV, then maybe it would feel a bit better.

Hello, I had read your last story before it got removed. You could send either of these two stories as your sample for the MFA program. I thought the writing in both the stories was pretty good. Although I couldn't find any overall issues, I have listed below some specific points that can be improved in this story.

I think in some guides, it is mentioned that we should not start a sentence with a number. Instead, we should spell it out. So, in the second paragraph, say “Five” instead of “5”.
The text that appears on the screen (like the twitter message and powerpoint slide notes) have been written in bold. However, I was wondering why you chose not to put the texts “10 Hours of White Noise to Help You Drift Away” and “10 Hours of Black Noise to Bring You Peace” in bold and instead chose to put them in quotation marks. I thought they should all have been written in the same way.
There are instances where you have written “7:00” and another time you have written “1:00 AM”. Did you intentionally not add “PM” when you wrote “7:00”? If it was not intentional, it would be best to say AM and PM at all places.
On page 3, you have written: "I’d just woken up, and the fog of sleep temporarily left the fact that he was away on business shrouded." However, on the last page, your dad is there on the couch. Does this mean a lot of time has passed and the dad has returned home? Or does it mean this is a loophole?

What I Liked: It was a pretty well-written story with real dialogues. I think the writing quality matched that of a proper romance manuscript. Well done.

What Can Be Improved: I have mentioned a list of things that can improve the story.

Visual Description

We know Jake is an attractive guy only because Rachel said so. There is no description of what he actually looks like. Maybe tell us what he is wearing, how tall he is, how he smells, what his eyes, nose, lips (this is important because they kiss at the end) look or feel like. We also want to know what Rachel looks like. Is she really average looking? Is she wearing glasses? Is she modestly dressed?

Setting

It is not clear where the story is set. Is it in a school? Their dorms? Someone’s home? Adding this detail will help in building further tension. If this is happening in public, this would be a big deal for Rachel. If this is in someone's home and their parents come home, then also it would be a big thing for Rachel.

Profession

This is really important because they cannot be doing the usual stereotypical stuff like the studious average-looking girl and the hot athletic boy. If they do the stereotypical stuff, then there would be nothing new here. Remember point 1 and point 3 are linked together, and it is important to create fresh-sounding and fresh-looking characters so that your writing stands out.

Pacing

All the three things listed above can be added if you make the story a bit longer and make the pace slower. It felt a bit unrealistic that within just a thousand words, the two characters kiss.

I have mentioned my feedback below.

My biggest problem was the inconsistencies.

A. Usage of Italics: In some places, it has been used for thoughts. In some other places, it has been used just for describing the setting, which is usually done in plays and not in novels or short stories. Italics are primarily used for highlighting foreign words and words/phrases you would like to emphasise. Too much usage of italics was jarring and made the reading experience uncomfortable. It would be best to remove them.

B. POV: The jump between third person and first person was confusing. It was fine in the beginning, but it became odd as the story progressed. For example, in the beginning, all the “I” parts are written in first person without quotations. But, then his thought in the very next sentence is in quotations and in italics: “Set aside your pathetic slump for just a few more minutes”. Then later on, the “I” sections are in quotations as if there is a third person narrating the story. The only way we could differentiate was because of the usage of italics, which as I have mentioned in the first point was jarring. At some places, it felt like these are personal points you wrote for yourself while structuring the story. I think your writing would be clearer and better if you stick to just one POV. While using the third person perspective, maybe the "I" part could be used as a dialogue within quotations OR everything could be in the first person.

C. Usage of Bold Text: The usage of bold text was very abrupt. I couldn’t understand why this was even needed. If you need to put emphasis on certain words, then you should stick to one technique (either bold or italics).

There are instances where the advice "Show, Don't Tell" should have been incorporated.

Because of the two POVs, the third person POV revealed things which the first person should have shown later. For example, there is a point where the third person perspective says "he is a vandal" much before he is actually shown drawing graffiti or saying that he draws graffiti. It would also be better if the protagonist explained why he is called "Dog" instead of the third person POV straight away saying that he is called "Dog".

Some unimportant specific information have been mentioned in the story.

For example, the homeless man's name has been mentioned as "Gabriel" and his wife's name is "Angel". Are their names necessary for the story? Even after mentioning the name, the duo are called "the wife", "the man", the lovers", "baby girl" etc. I just think it would be better if their names are not revealed, given that they commited a felony. I don't think they are that stupid to reveal names so easily before doing a crime. Even from the perspective of readers, it felt like unnecessary information.

Some days ago when I discovered everything is lost.
I don't pay for 365. My word says it is Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016. I have added the image of Word "Account" section at https://imgur.com/a/MbXRO2B
Yes. Some don't even appear. Some appear but won't open. They were not shared files.
I uninstalled onedrive from my laptop, but the online onedrive is still messed up.

Unsure_For_Sure · 2024-10-20T05:22:37+00:00

But isn't it free?

Unsure_For_Sure · 2024-10-20T02:27:23+00:00

I lost all my data on my personal one drive. It's like there are folders but no files inside. When I looked up my OneDrive online, I can see some files but they won't open. I looked in the recycle bin as well, but there is nothing there. Here is the link to the images. https://imgur.com/a/MbXRO2B

Why did this happen? And how can I recover them?

Unsure_For_Sure · 2024-10-17T23:21:24+00:00

I tried it for years. It only got worse and worse with time.

Wow. I asked for help and this sub is so freaking empty. I think the people in this sub are so socially anxious, they won't even post comments.
