  1. Look... No moral support from me... Just die. Ok? Cordially yours, Jack (who doesn't own a car)
  2. My little sister loved Sims. She put a baby in a house. Put it on fire. Her mum saw it. She never got to play Sims every again.
  3. Thanks for the comments and time to read. This story was influenced by a novel written by a Quebecois with similar timeframe and the art of surprise is close to the same. Except that, I did not allow the boys to suffer the fate seen in the book. The book banished one lover to a mental hospital where he committed suicide and the other got branded by hot iron with a symbol of criminal and banished to an island in the Carribean. So I had an idea and wanted to write a periodic story. Obviously I went light on the boys because I couldn't bear myself to be that mean. ^^ I did throw in several French words, mainly of places. I should add the word "Sauvage" to refer to the natives would literally translate as "Savage", but the French meaning somewhat loses itself in the translation. It means "wild one", such as "wild plants, wild animals, wildflowers...". It doesn't exactly carry a negative connotation in French. I thought I could be clear on that. The French colonists are extremely well-known to have the best relations with the natives compared to other European colonists and this is reflected in the story. So yeah, apart from being inspired by a novel, the scenery often reflects what used to exist back then. In fact, most of the places mentioned in the story still exist today. The S
  4. Should we recommend him to save passwords this time?
  5. Perhaps he's having another Internet problem? Or maybe he's forgotten his password?
  6. YAY I see me! Thanks for all of the work people!
  7. Am I alone to see that Benny made another non-question statement?
  8. I wish those were my parents. I would have 100% control on their behaviour.
  9. I've been out with my parents since I was 17. Insert three years of drama. Now they don't care. I'm pretty much out now.
  10. Who wouldn't want a video spreading all over the net like wildfire?
  11. One time I overdid (on purpose) an Aussie accent to a girl from Perth. "G'day jillaroo! My, you've got some fine tittie, matey!" I know you don't say "jillaroo". But still... An "ute" wasn't too obvious. That one had me stumped for a month or so when I read "New Brother" and "Heart of The Tree". Just highlighting a point that there is no harm done throwing in some regional/local terms into the narration, as long as they're clear within a context.
  12. Isn't that their problem?
  13. I still can see why she got knocked up. She has big boobs.
  14. Why shouldn't I make such thing? If people would like to see me, couldn't they just come to me and see me in live?
  15. Well, doesn't it seem he experiences such thing with lust around him and hormones raging his body?
  16. Wouldn't it be difficult since he often experiences premature ejaculation?
  17. Can a tripod zoom by itself to his ass and... erm... goodies... ?
  18. Why can't he just hire a filmmaking crew to do the job?
  19. Why should he make one when he will crack the len on the camera with all of that bed shaking?
  20. No policy, but don't push things or you'll lose me fast. Hell, I'll just make it even more fustrating.
  21. I think there is no harm done throwing in simple local terms and a few hard-to-figure-out ones into the narration to mark the whole story as the author's. Like, if I say "Hell sure...", my editor always edits it to "hell as sure". Of course I don't blame her since I didn't know it's a local way of saying it. I reject the edit, seeing that it wouldn't cause any confusion anyway. If the terms may be hard to figure out, try to throw it in a context with some details. For example... People mostly say "sub", but I always call it "hoagie" because "sub" is never part of my daily vocabulary. I would just simply introduce that word when the character goes, let's say, to Subway and orders some "turkey hoagie with swiss cheese and on toasted bread". People should figure out that... Subway pretty much serves "subs", but the author/character calls it "hoagies" nevertheless. Graeme threw in a few Aussie terms that kept me wondering. Especially when he repeated "ute" so many times... It took me a long time to find that word. As for the author's thoughts. I always tend to keep it in the present tense when the rest of the narration is in the past. Few people pointed this out, but I kept it like that seeing that it would be my mark of style. Mainly, narration should be simple, conscient, and clear, but do not complicate it throwing tons of terms and odd structure that most readers wouldn't say daily. I would just stop reading the story because I would lose interest getting out an urban dictionary on google every five minutes.
  22. Shocked? People've been making bets how long it will last.
  23. Reading "Bahia de tous les saints" is sure not f**king light. And I have to read it and write a paper by tomorrow. BAH I need a Brazilian who can explain the story to me. But where is s/he???
  24. It was accidental.
