MetaSeries Ranting

Typos I spotted in book 7. The number is fucked up because I noted all the typo and only highlighted those sentence I enjoyed. And I removed all the highlights.

40. though there are rumors they are from a system ca. 35 light years away. So even if we could fly there, it would take a crew 35 Earth years to get there … So 60-year-old soldiers would reach their planet … not a good basis for a fight.” Colt nodded. Obviously, the sergeant fell afoul a serious thinking mistake, but he didn’t want to point it out at this moment.

There has to be some benefit of being the editor.  

 

PS - I'd like to point out, I didn't do any new editing of the books before publication.

Done, Sir!

 

yes, but the wrong one. I was talking about this one https://www.gayauthors.org/story/johnar/metadeprivation/3 for the current prompt:

 

 

[athanos]

I have a question. What do those mysterious codes in the titles of metaprompts mean? Those three digits numbers, unprompted, halfprompted, and reprompted?

Prompt XXX means that it was 'prompted here on GA by suggestion number XXX'. Unprompted means there was no prompt that prompted it, half means just that it was half prompted.

 

Here on GA there is a weekly 'prompt suggestion' to try and get people writing these suggestions could be Topics, First Lines, A series of words to be included in a story, etc...

I see. Thank you for introducing the mechanism to a late comer to the party.

Well, I'm still hoping one day Tim will put Rob on his back, with his legs VERY high ... I'm sure the chess club would appreciate.

Mostly JAR has used a current prompt, but sometimes an older prompt, and I think that's where the reprompted comes in. You can see all the Writing prompts here:

There is someone in Meta that would put Rob on his back with his legs VERY high repeatedly.

@athanos THANKS!

 

All corrected. Except 7. I choose "befitting." and 40: Of course!

In case I don't get bosom, IRS and pantiliners, you might still be in for a prompt idea this coming weekend ;-)

He means the sections that you enjoyed that didn't have typoes. The sections that made your typo quote numbers so 'random'. You went from 1 to 3 to 7. He is asking what are 2, 4, 5, 6, etc..

Now that's a challenge. As I can't manipulate those stories directly. I guess when I have reworked the all, I'll send eight word files to GA ...
