DewMan001 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 ... I completely respect them. I just like to caricature and ridicule them, along with those who purvey them, in print! There! All fixed! You can parody something and still have respect for it. Look at pastafarianism, a massive parody of the Christian Church. Pastafarians have a wealth of respect for the christian church, they just think it's a bit silly, hence the parody.Or, hell let's look at any episode of South Park.

volgadon Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I was limiting myself to a week's deadline. I did that because I wanted to make stuff, but if I was going to write something I needed to edit it. that their work gets caught in an infinite spiral of editing, so if I was going to edit, I would have to be my own publisher and yank the thing out of my own hands at the end of the week. So rule one is stick to the schedule, and rule two: No George Lucas moves. Once it's out there, it's out there, and I can't edit or change it in the slightest.Everyone is different when it comes to editing. That isn't the issue. 1

DewMan001 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 Not, perhaps, the best example.Okay, true, but the pastafarian thing still holds true. And, yes, it wasn't the editing it was the lack of research. But, I must move on, and I can't change it now.Also, kengoo, stfu
Kenngo1969 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 You know me well.Well, there's good news and bad news: The good news is that your apartment is actually 420 square feet. The bad news is that it doesn't make any difference, because the desk is actually even more massive than we thought!
Kenngo1969 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Also, kengoo, stfu :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:...Tears roll ...Thanks for the very kind invitation, but, no. I've been on this Board and its predecessors since long before you got here (perhaps even before you were born) and I'll still be here, posting away, long after you've left, I'm sure. If you want to succeed in the publishing world, you'd better grow a much thicker skin than that!

Evelyn Waugh, author of such dark classics as "A Handful of Dust," and "The Loved One," once had this criticism of an author. "To see him fumbling with our rich and delicate language is to experience all the horror of seeing a Sèvres vase in the hands of a chimpanzee.” 1
