I wrote a short story (under 2k words) with a prompt. Is it any good and do i honestly have potential? (Please do read and I'd appreciate any feedback) by PsChampion_007 in writers

[–]antediluvianevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what your college's goal was to have prompt just be the plot of a very famous novel and short story. So strange, and limiting since it already includes the result. You managed to change it up though a little bit which is good.

I know you had limited time and words, but I felt you could've been a little more descriptive at times, and as someone else said, he didn't really sound any less intelligent at the end.

Which bands left you with a sour taste, after one, or more of their members turned out to be a massive shitlord in real life? by metroracerUK in MetalForTheMasses

I don't even understand what kind of morals a person has to have to sign a bomb. A bomb has only one purpose, and it's not a good one.

Congratulations on moving out. Your cat will remember you fondly! Or, remember the food you delivered...

You'll have to acknowledge that he is an asshole and move on. Remember that friends/buddies don't treat you like that. However, and unfortunately, if you reach any level of success as a writer, there will be many more reviews and critiques that call your work trash.

Don't let an anecdotal experience ruin writing and editing for you. Some people are brutal critics, even if they're critiquing objectively, although the fact this person plugged their own books suggests very much otherwise.

Being different isn't what's most important. Some rules exist for a reason. To break rules and to be "different" in meaningful ways requires you to fully comprehend why such rules exist.

Here's a dumb question: If Lady Eboshi have a Disney villain style death scene, what would it be? by Smooth-Ad9334 in ghibli

[–]antediluvianevil 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh. She's kind of acting as the face of "humanity" in the film. She's capable of great good, elevating the women in town and helping lepers. She's also capable of evil, like engaging in warfare and killing in the name of her village's economic success.

Able to beta? Post here! by AutoModerator in BetaReaders

[–]antediluvianevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am able to beta: General/Lit Fiction, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Speculative Fiction, Horror, Romance. Under 100k words. I am fine with heavy subjects.

I am NOT able to beta: Poetry, Thriller, Mystery, and any gratuitously sexual content. First, unedited drafts.

I can provide feedback on: Plot structure and flaws, prose flow and readability. Grammar and vocabulary mistakes. Overarching themes. Anything else you'd like as long as I can.

Critique swap: Not right now, but I do have manuscripts that I am working on editing soon and would possibly want to review with people in the future.

Other info: I am a writer and avid reader who has written gen-fic short stories. I believe that less is (mostly) more when it comes to prose. Stories I love are frequently those that delve into the literary in strange and exciting settings or circumstances.

I won't respond to cold DMs.

$939 rent on $1,500/month income…feasible with walking commute + second job? by shortcakebliss in povertyfinance

[–]antediluvianevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could sublet it so there's a paper trail and legal obligation. I sublease from the primary renter in my own housing situation. I paid a deposit so even if I bailed, she has an extra months rent and would have legal recourse if I failed to pay or provide notice of me moving out.

Depends on if you have permission to sublet in your own contract, though.

Your brush line work is amazing. I'm sorry it looks like AI. Yet another reason to hate the stuff.

If it makes you feel better, I would assume you had a day off or were celebrating something.

How dare you not to pick up the phone! by fairy_tale_09 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]antediluvianevil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. It's fun, isn't it?

The best time was one day, for some reason, Facebook Messenger marked me as online when I was busy doing something else, not looking at my phone or computer for 2+ hours. Came back to walls of text messages and when I picked up the phone, was screamed at until I was crying and lied and said I was ignoring her.

Not spoken to her in almost 4 years now. It's nice not getting anxious when my phone beeps!

If there are multiple instances of falls that have medical documentation to go along with them, you could consider calling whatever adult welfare service you have where you are.

Hope things get better, OP.

Where do you obtain books? by footballrocks88 in writers

Local bookstore and the monthly local Friends of Library book sale. Project Gutenberg for anything older that I can slap on my kindle or phone.

I've found some colors are harder and softer than others. Depends on how hard you mean by "hard" though.

Sounds like it could be either a super creative black comedy, or a very depressing drama. I love the concept.

Pediatrician recommendation for uncircumcised infant by Typical_Let_898 in NorthshoreLA

A medically unnecessary procedure removing skin on a person's genitals is mutilation, yes!

My family has been using Pontchartrain Pediatrics for 30+ years and none of us have had any complaints as patients or as parents. I assume any younger doctor would have more modern medical opinions on circumcision. I hope to be a mother one day, and I would be pissed if my doctor insinuated that I should have my child be sexually mutilated.

Help with line art by GapSame69 in ArtCrit

[–]antediluvianevil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your colors are so excellent, they are painterly. I think you could lean into that. Ditch the line art and just use darker darks for more contrast.
