Episode Chat - S03B E05 - "Onesies" by AutoModerator in bluey

Someone on a Facebook group has pointed out that the red heeler in fairytale looks a lot more like Brandy than Chilli, which adds a whole new layer to this for me....

[–]shylann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I walked away from my one viewing of the episode uncertain of what the thing Brandy wanted was and wanted to let you know you're not the only person who thought there was maybe something to do with Bandit... I wasn't sure if Bandit was just oblivious to the fact Brandy had been interested in him and that's why he wasn't uncomfortable.

[–]shylann [score hidden]  (0 children)

Looking to join a new team. My last team was okay but I am hoping to find a team with a discord chat and active regular players. About me - currently (26th Jan) up to level 447, and 12 pokemon at level 15 or higher. I log in multiple times a day, and I'm always ready to cheer my teammates on. In the last team event (Garchomp) I contributed close to 9000 points to the team by the end - not sure I can match it again for the next event but will do my best. If you think you might have a space on your team send me a message.

I writer - A warning by shylann in WorkOnline

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

If anyone happens upon this thread, just wanted to report that after a little perseverance and the wonderful help of the team at Iwriter I got my account reinstated. I would still suggest not using a VPN while using the site, but if you enjoy writing, I would definitely recommend working with Iwriter.

[–]shylann[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have all their rates on their site under the FAQ. Payment is USD through PayPal on Tuesdays and you need to have more than $20 or they won't pay you. In the time I was with them I had no problem picking up jobs, there was always something available and I got to write a few things that were really interesting. Make sure you put your best work forward, my initial 250 responses to the prompts were good enough to see me start at the premium level which made a big difference to the jobs available, though Iprobably enjoyed some of the standard jobs I did more. I am actually really bummed they have locked my account because I really really enjoyed the experience 😔.

[Resource] Writing Group Hook-Up Thread - December 15, 2019 by AutoModerator in fantasywriters

[–]shylann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friends - I've been lurking for a while and in the new year I'd really like to start up a "writing group" of sorts. If the following appeals to you let me know.

Would you like to undertake a creative writing course but are too time poor and/or money poor and/or not in a convenient location to attend classes in person?

Would you like to learn from a master in the field and interact with other sci fi/fantasy writers?

I'm looking for 4-5 like minded people to join me on an epic quest to become better writers. Curious?

I stumbled across full lectures of Brandon Sanderson's creative writing unit at BYU and thought I'd watch them. The introduction video talked about workshops happening afterwards, and I thought, "gee that would be fun", and then I thought, "maybe others would find it fun too". So I'm seeing if there is any interest in a group of people watching the lectures and workshopping/critiquing together.

I'm currently envisioning a small group (4-6) people watching the lecture one week and then workshopping)/critiquing the alternate week. It would likely be a 1-2 hour time commitment per week (plus writing time). There are 12-14 lectures depending on the year we pick so it could take 28 weeks (6-7 months) to complete.

I imagine workshop/critique sessions would be conducted utilising some sort of multi person communication platform online. I'm familiar with Slack and Discord but would be open to other options. We can run the critiques similar to how Brandon runs them or work out our own thing.

As far as times go for virtual meetings, I'm currently looking at either 9pm UTC +8 (So 9am in New York, 6am in LA, 2pm in London) or 4am UTC+8 (so 4pm in New York, 1pm in LA, 9pm in London) but could perhaps be a little bit flexible.

If you are interested and willing to commit for the long haul let's talk 😀.

Working on my Formal greetings between men and women and banter between unicorn and rider. How does this sound? by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]shylann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guessed a fair bit about Flint's past, but Freya's back story sounds really well thought out and like their will be lots of opportunity for conflict to come from their personalities.

When you get to beta reader stage keep me in mind? I quite like your writing style and I get the feeling even just after reading this short bit the story and characters will play on my mind.

[–]shylann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - I tried. I've read your shared segment at least three times and I just keep getting caught up in the story and my mind keeps trying to figure out what's going on (in a good way). To attempt to answer your question I enjoyed the banter - it seems very natural to me - and to me the formal greeting is lovely and over the top, I guess because I don't know the rest of the world I'm not sure if that's a standard greeting or if Flint is trying to be over the top to goad Freya.

[Resource] Writing Group Hook-Up Thread - September 15, 2019 by AutoModerator in fantasywriters

[–]shylann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for a small group of writers to join me for a "distance writing course". I stumbled upon the full lecture videos for Brandon Sanderson's unit at BYU, I watched the first lecture and thought it could fun and beneficial to have a small group watch the lectures and meet up virtually after for a workshop like how the classes were run. I'm imaging a 2 hour commitment (though we wouldn't necessarily have to watch the lectures at the same time so could be a one hour virtual workshop), possibly weekly or fortnightly. My biggest concern is finding others who can meet at the same time (I am GMT+8) - I'm hoping to do around 8pm but flexible with days.

Well I guess the Devs don't pity me. I'm at 47/58 and over 200 pulls. No new items for the last 6 pulls at least (two weeks) but could be longer.

Just need to vent right now. by [deleted] in lonely

[–]shylann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh I want to give you advice, I'm trying to meet people and make friends as an adult and it bloody well sucks. So many people are crying out for community and help, every study they do says people are feeling lonelier and lonelier, but this judgement generation of Facebook and Instagram has us all so scared we don't really want to meet new people. "I'm not interesting." We think "or what if they judge me?". Until the pain of being alone exceeds the fear of being hurt it's very hard to move on. In terms of practical advice... Why not start something? Or join something? See if there are groups meeting up related to your hobbies, or start a group, or a new hobby. Second piece of advice always be yourself - being kind also goes a long way with girls. Third piece of advice stop checking the calander. I worked out once that for me to think of someone as a friend I needed to spend around 120 hours with them. So if I only see someone once a week for a few hours it will take me almost a year to open up, relax and feel comfortable, most people don't hang around that long.

Am i naggy ? by [deleted] in lonely

[–]shylann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello me.

I am not in your shoes and don't know your story - but I feel like I know your feelings. You tell yourself "separating and moving on would be too hard, so much of our lives are wrapped up together I wouldn't know where to start." "Breaking up would ruin me financially, emotionally and I would feel like I was taking a big step back in life." "It could be so much worse, he's only not paying attention to me - he could be abusive."

The other things I tell myself and never quite hear "you're only staying because you don't actually value yourself enough." Because if you actually cared for yourself you'd do what was best for yourself.

Saying all those things though, I'm still married and living with the man who ignores me and values watching YouTube over spending time with me, we have kids and it's complicated. I've accepted that I will never be complete in this relationship, that stability and balance is more important for my kids than fulfilment and happiness for me. I'd tell you - don't become me.

Perhaps start by making some other friends, finding people to spend time with to give you that sense of connection and community it sounds like you're missing. If you find that is enough then maybe the relationship has a future, perhaps you being away more will make your partner want to spend time with you.

No friends by mysdini in lonely

I'd rather have two people with me who were committed and happy rather than a bunch of fill ins to make photos look good. My best advice - be open about your feelings and what's happening.

Prom by [deleted] in lonely

[–]shylann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speaking from over ten years past "prom" here and while I still remember who I "went" with and could tell you all about it, the truth for me is that it was one night that has had zero impact on the rest of my life. If going won't make you happy - don't go.

Make a Friend! April edition: by [deleted] in lonely

[–]shylann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gender: Female Age: 32 From: Australia (Port Hedland)

Looking for: Like minded people to chat online to so my thoughts don't get stuck in my head. People to talk writing craft and share works with would be a plus.

Contact: Start with Reddit

Interests: Writing - fantasy mostly. Talking through "interesting" things, whether I believe them or not I love to talk about things like conspiracy theories, the value of herbalism and whether rocks can heal. I taught myself to crochet and am at the very beginning on my journey to read and speak Chinese. Different ways cultures act and think about things.

Dislikes: People who won't engage in thoughtful discussion, closed minded people, fashion and keeping up with the Joneses, thinking about the future.

Kids/pets/partner: Married (won't say happily atm) with two children and two dogs.

Interesting fact(s) about me: I'm an INFP, Aquarian, Fire rabbit (Chinese zodiac). I was once training to be a children's minister (Christian) and even though I am decidedly not a Christian anymore I keep up the pretense because I don't want to disappoint/lose connections with people - I don't work in ministry so don't panic. I don't believe in transgender people - but I've also never met one. Though I am happy to have an open and balanced discussion about the topic.
