as a reader what catches my eyes is the plot: how deep are the character involved in it, how credible are them and what is happening around them and to them, how I got involved to the point of waiting for a new chapter -or to finish a book-. The characterization is also important: the feelings involved, how the emotions are shown and depicted. Sex, for me, is a big turn off: I usually skip the graphic descriptions and well, it is someway boring reading in each and every chapter the same stuff happening :_)

Sorry, but you only announced Earth Reborn of e-fiction yesterday and I planned to do some reading today. Promise an email when I'll be finished I'm really looking for some nice SF right now. andrea.

I always skip the sex in a story to get back to the plot. And for me it does not depend how well the sex has been described or detailed. It is boring, unuseful and sometimes can be a way for a poor author to fill a chapter. Mmm... no killing me, please

I think that sums it Coming from the south myself (I have my private practice in Sardinia and work in a hospital in Milan) I do tend to be a sort of a snobbie around Milan: smog, noise, cars, honking cars, models, fashion... well, you get the picture. But it's a great place to be after 18:00 next time you'll be there I'll show you around, if you want.

Thank you all for the welcome and the descriptions. I think I know understand more about what is written in the stories... Sure there is gymn open at 5am here: as far as I know even in Milan -where I work and live 2 days a week- one of the most famous fitness center opens at 10am till midnight. Neither do I. And the time is shifting more and more: at presents the discos start at 1am, but if you want to be fashionable you have to get into at 3:00am. I am not much of a clubber now but sometimes I do spend my evenings out and when I do i start with an "aperitivo" at 6:30 pm -that's when you go into a bar, drinking cocktails for 4 euro each and eat as much as you want from the buffet. THEN you go out for dinner, around 9pm, then you go into a lounge bar and THEN into a club/disco if that's your scene. Not good for my profession,though. So I mainly tend to have dinner and spend the night at home. I was thinking about some exercises in the early morning, such as running and stuff but I am not too sure because I am somewait afraid that I should have to change my whole schedules...

Thanks for the welcome regarding schedules and time, I was mainly referring to the ones in the stories, not when people post messages in the forum (while I have to say some people do write in interesting times

hi there, so this is my first post. I think Reading through GA I am someway surprised reading about people waking up at 5 am to start training, or running, or getting ready to go to school. I mean here in Italy I usually wake up at 7am, get up shower shave breakfast at around 8 and start working at 9:30 I usually get to sleep at aroung 11pm What is the most common schedule there, what time do you wake up, have dinner, go to bed?
