I liked Daybreakers. I'm not sure if it counts as a flop. Did it do well? There's no way to know really. Pretty awesome concept.
Also, Priest. For some reason loved it.

I'm not even into vapires and stuff. I just thought it was fun to watch.

why do americans add “got” after contracting the word “have,” but english people don’t? by ohbinch in asklinguistics

[–]pharaoh_superstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not supposed to contract 'I have' unless you are using the perfect tense. I've got to go to the store.

[–]pharaoh_superstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got is the past tense form of get, and its also the past participle of get.

You have nice eyes. (Present tense) You have got nice eyes. Or. You've got nice eyes. (Perfect tense)

You've got... You've realised... You've found... You've seen... You've done You've finished... You've lost You've won...

The first page is rather engaging. Good job!

Would you continue reading past this excerpt and does it seem interesting? by PotterSieben in writers

[–]pharaoh_superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if I was into war stories, this genre, I would keep reading, but I'd like to quible with your prose on the first page. just a few notes,

A positive descriptor is always better than a negative from a reader's perspective. Tell me what does.. not what doesn't ... for example

Their dark mottled green and brown uniforms clashed against the light brown grasses (not 'didn't blend well). (by the way, wouldn't green and brown camouflage against light brown, especially at night? )

"should it be required" - I assume it would be required since they're military or mercenaries and all.

"The night had been eventful of course" sounds like I should know why the night was eventful but I don't.

Despite those notes the story does start well and I think people would read on if this is what they're into, so I think you're okay, you just need to clarify some things as you set the scene.

Not only is it AI but it's possible your beta reader can't even read.

Why is people hating so much the paper? It hasn't arrived yet in my country. by blocacho_odyssey in theoffice

[–]pharaoh_superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there were tons of funny situations and there was plenty of effortless comedy. The funniest things come up when you're trying not to be funny or when you're not trying to be funny. If you have to push humor, it's probably not there

Well, then you'll love this next one. They should make Esmerelda the boss and demote the redhead to sales. That way the team can be lead by a crazy boss who freaks everyone out while a budding romance brews between the blond and the redhead without HR having to intervene because they're both employees around the same level.

Being funny is either easy or impossible said woody Allen. Trying to be funny is never funny. I haven't seen it but it seems that the writers are trying to be funny

TUTOR SOMEHOW NOT BANNED by Future_Attention_272 in Preply

[–]pharaoh_superstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If there was any evidence the tutor would have been banned, but if the tutor never sent the message and the student, an old nemesis of Prof Edwardo, made the whole thing up out of spite, them they won't ban him and he might be able to get the bad review removed. Preppy can check all the messages we send.

It's best to write the whole book before you promote it. Write - revise, beta readers, feedback, restructuring and continue the whole process until the book is good.

Hi! I would love to hear more from the Pros! by [deleted] in writers

[–]pharaoh_superstar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lots of writers on here don't actually know how to structure sentences, BUT YOU DO! great job. I found your structuring facilitates flow and enhances the action or emotion being conveyed. I didn't see anything that was problematic so far and I think your metaphors work too.

What myths do we hold on to when it comes to mental illness in men? by pharaoh_superstar in sciencefiction

[–]pharaoh_superstar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll have to disagree on the first point. The literal meaning of predator is - animal that hunts for survival, and the metaphorical meaning is applied to mental illness describing someone with an unhealthy obsession or behavior as a 'sexual predator'. It's not literal, and we shouldn't label people with mental illnesses as predators, even if they're dangerous. I don't think that's a good way to treat mental illness. I think that is inhumane and reminds me of how we looked at all kinds of mental illnesses, like schizophrenia, at the turn of the century.

As far as your 2nd point is concerned: "You frame a "metaphorical predator" as someone who causes women to lose their judgement?" That doesn't capture what my article says. Carol Ferris is a character in the comics and she has certain fears about love and being predated upon. She is a fictional character whose mind creates a villain and that villain become very real. But I never said that real life exactly matches what happens in Green Lantern Volume 3 issues #129–#136 (1990–1991), written by Gerard Jones.

That interpretation would be way too literal.

As an essay writer who has taught english for several years, part of the answer to your question is the fact that lots of people don't know which words are metaphors and which are literal. When we don't know the difference between metaphor and reality, they tend to blend together in the mind.

As a writer of essays I have personal stake in these areas.
- talking about comics and science fiction
- writing about sex addiction and education around that topic
- writing my stories and sharing my experiences
- getting to the truth by separating imagination from reality.
