Silk she/her Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Hey folks, I am spending the next couple weeks caring for a family member who just had a major surgery (everyone is fine) as well as juggling a couple project deadlines I'd li;ke to get ahead of. I may be slow, or unable, to crit for the next couple of weeks. Apologies. 2
Robinski he/him Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Hey @Silk, if you need me to crack whip and sort the wheat from the chaff for the purposes of submitting next week, I am totally pleased to do that. Obviously, there will be a mad rush of submissions on Saturday, and we'll need to run some sort of drawing digital straws and such, but why don't you leave it to me, so you don't have to think about it? 1

Twist my arm, why don't you... if you're willing, that'd be great! Thank you! 1
Robinski he/him Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) It's the least I can do. You've got your hands full. What's the point of having an assistant if you can't delegate to them Edited March 24, 2021 by Robinski 1
Sarah B she/her Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 @Silk Best wishes to you and your loved one! I hope everything goes well and that we have you back soon! No offence intended to your assistant :-) 1

And gosh, but she's keeping me busy. 2

Is it just the painkillers that are keeping her going. My Mum had her hip done and you really gotta rest it to make sure it 'sticks'. (I mean, they don't stick the bones together, but you know what I mean )

I think I've mostly convinced her... if only so she doesn't have to hear me say it anymore. 2
kais Posted March 29, 2021 Author Posted March 29, 2021 I'll be out for the next few weeks. I have surgery tomorrow and am not sure how long it will be before I'm able to critique and such again. Don't have too much fun while I'm gone. 9

Snakenaps she/her Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) I picked up a strange book today. Ashlords by Scott Reintgen, YA fantasy published in 2020. Admittedly, I picked this up at the library because of the cover. Spoiler Apparently mobile isn't going to let me paste an image here. Stupid. Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/42281865 It's a flaming horse. I love horses. It's billed as Red Rising meets The Scorpio Races, two books I enjoyed (lies, I love the Scorpio Races). Anyway. It has three POV's, not special for a YA. Except one of them is in second person. I'm on the third chapter and not really snatched yet (The Scorpio Races might have spoiled me), but the second person POV threw me for a surprise. Hopefully it will be good. If it isn't, I picked up the Murderbot Diaries I have heard so much about. EDIT: 50 pages in and I'm setting it down. Couldn't get into the characters, despite the interesting second person. Where were the horses???? I hit page 170 skimming with no horses and the race not starting and have come to the conclusion this is not a book for me. Edited April 10, 2021 by Snakenaps
Robinski he/him Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Hmm, yeah that bugs me, when books do not live up to the expectation created by their covers, or titles. Second person is an interesting choice. I like bold choices, provided that they are done well, and bit of experimentation never did anyone any harm (Are you sure?...Ed.). 1
Snakenaps she/her Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 I was bad. I should have gone to bed. Instead, I made a thing: Spoiler 2

ginger_reckoning Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 Hey all, finals are wrapping up this week, so I'm back! I see there's a lot of new work here on the site which is exciting! I'm going to try to catch up a little bit, though it might be a little slower this week as I'm moving out of my apartment and finishing my last test. 4

Appol PhD they/he Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I don't know how many people here are familiar with the Ace Attorney video games but I have to share this trailer screenshot with everyone I know. I think it speaks for itself. 3
RedBlue Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I have only played the original 3 Ace Attorney games, but this seems very Ace Attorney. 1

I think it speaks for itself. The extent of my knowledge of them comes from them being basically meme-ified in various gaming reviews or youtube videos by people who throw in references now and then. Which means that this fits pretty much perfectly into my very limited understanding of the games. Edited April 30, 2021 by C_Vallion 1
ginger_reckoning Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Hey, does anyone have any nonfiction reccomendations? Specifically biographies and historical stuff
shatteredsmooth Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I don't read a ton of non-fiction. The last non-fiction thing that I actually enjoyed was Nonbinary: Memoirs of Gender and Identity https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/42779012 1
RedBlue Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I'm listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast. He covers lots of different topics, and I've enjoyed what I've heard so far. 1
