[Sasha Distan] Bad Stereotypes

[Sasha Distan]

OK, that's awesome. I found it on behindthename.com

 

You pronounce Issac like "Ayes-ak" with a strong 'C' on the end. and yeah, he's totally gangster!

[Thorn Wilde]

So, same as Isaac, then. Seems weird to me, double consonant usually means short vowel.

[Sasha Distan]

no, the "sss" sound is longer

[Former Member]

The only issue I have with that dictionary entry is that, by the looks of it, Issac does not get 'tang' 24/7.  He gets something else entirely.

Issac gets all the good stuff

...at this point I'm still not sure if Bay is good.  But I'll keep myself open.

[Sasha Distan]

but in chapter 15 he is soo lovely.

[Sasha Distan]

chapter 17 is now actually live and up and everything.

[Sasha Distan]

we are now running on 30+k, but the ending is in sight. i think you guys will be topping out 30 chapters ish.

 

also, forgiveness is begged in advance for chapter 22 - you are not going to like it.

 

and chapter 24 is rather short, but you'll see when you get there.

Something still seems "off"...like, it seems like there's something we still don't know about yet. And not on Bay's end, either. I get a vibe that Issac is reacting so strongly to Bay's freaking out, not just because Bay's being misguided, but also because of an additional something else as well.

you have to remember how insecure Issac can be. it's a very emasculating thing to lose a leg. he's spend a long time have his hopes and heart broken.

we have passed 40 thousand words people...

[Thorn Wilde]

You're a machine, my dear!

[Sasha Distan]

You're a machine, my dear!

 

why thank you. i try and do the things i do well.

[Former Member]

I knew I loved Zupan for a reason.

[Sasha Distan]

Chapter 27 is up.

 

and now you can legitimately love Bay too

[Former Member]

Yea.  He's come a long way.  ...<3

[Sasha Distan]

we have passed 43000 words. this is a long short story.

 

also, you only have a few more chapters. there will be 32 in all. I'm going to miss these guys.

[Thorn Wilde]

At more than 40,000 words, 'your short' story would classified as a novel by many. For instance, the Nebula Award categories are as follows:

 

Short story: under 7,500 words

Novelette: 7,500–17,500 words

Novella: 17,500–40,000 words

Novel: over 40,000 words

I'll be sad to see the story go.  You can always do spinoffs!  This really has been a great story, Sasha.  It could easily get published.  And I would totally buy it........as soon as I got home. XD  I'm so glad I've read this.  Truly amazing stuff!

[Sasha Distan]

For you, Bay's tattoo, without the awesome light source though, because i ain't that good.

Am I a little bit right when I associate the city by the sea in which this story is set to Brighton? I keep picturing it in my head when I read...

you are correct. technically he starts in manchester and ends up in bton, but i like to keep things broad. also means people get less fussy with buildings and parks that don't actually exist.

The South Alaska is what the Engine Rooms would have been if the owners had stuck to their guns and not wasted all their money holding private parties. we miss our club
