    To expand on what Chase said, they look for plot holes or other awkward situations in the story. They are not editors of grammar, they are like editors of plots. You can tell the difference between a story on GA that has been beta'd and a story on Nifty that has not. There's often conflicting time lines, impossible situations, inconsistent characters, etc.
  4. Ooh, several iPeople here. My sister is an iPerson. I like all of the applications, but I am not terribly impressed with the interface, like Sky mentioned. Even coming from the nightmare that was my Cowon A3. I just got a new PMP, so I guess I can fill out my own questions. Do you have an MP3 player or PMP? PMP What brand? Model? Cowon S9 Are you loyal to this brand? Yes, reasonably loyal. I'm hoping for wifi in their next generation though, that's a huge drawback in my S9. If there isn't, I might go iThing or *gulp* MS Zune.

  6. I was 18, he was 28. Good times. It was just for fun though, had oral for the first time before bed then went all the way in the morning when I begged him. I met him online at a forum (not GA, it was a pretty creepy forum thinking back on it), we talked for years. We met up when I was 17 at an auto show, and made plans for me to visit him where he lives. So, we did. There was a mutual friend present, too. But I got to sleep with him in his room for a whole week. Good times. Not a terribly exciting story, sorry.

  8. I'm not terribly familiar with Sublime or Selena. I liked Nirvana though. MJ was also good. Of course I wish they were still here, it's sad when anyone dies young. It's really sad when you think about artists that died young, we talk about that all the time in my art history class, if they were that good while they were young think of how great they could have become...

  12. I encountered the same problem when using styles. The only thing that changed was the appropriate tag was used. Saving from Word to HTML was also buggy. If you know a secret please share. <h1><font color="#3B608D" size="4" face="Cambria"><b>Utinam soluta fabulas id qui, cu mei odio atqui intellegebat, affert volumus erroribus ei usu. Nullam labores appetere mea et. Eos odio malorum pertinax at. Autem dicunt ornatus sit et, et eum persius verterem disputando, sale elitr aperiri ex est.

  13. This "trick" still creates a lot of excess html code that will increase page load times, conflict with CSS, and make further editing difficult, though it is a better choice than saving as html from Word. It's best to ask your tech what they prefer, if I had an author client I would want the word document rather than this form of html, but again, ask your tech person. Here is an example of the code that is produced: <p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Con duce tote como il. E pro inviar <i>disuso programma, que inviar immediatemente le. Del su titulo practic apprende, es post etiam</i> immediatemente pro. Libro secundarimente da que, pote ascoltar philologos il pan.

  14. Virginity is a concept held in the mind of an individual, molded by the collective opinion of society/environment/nurturing/culture/whatever. If you consider yourself a virgin, you are. If you were raped, that doesn't mean you are not a virgin, even though sexual penetration occurred. Most people do draw the line at either consensual oral sex or consensual intercourse. I, however, like to view it as a sum of the parts. I've been a bottom, so I've lost that part of my virginity; I've never topped, so I still have that part. If someone wants to call themselves a "homo-virgin" or a "hetero-virgin" then I say let them.
  15. That's very common. The security guard in my building isn't allowed to do anything either, they are contract and only can call police, they cannot touch anyone even if they threaten. I work in a government building, too. It's stupid, and a waste of money as far as I am concerned.
  16. Well, I'm not a writer but I am a visual artist and a web designer, so I feel qualified to input. When looking at the screen you are looking at a light bulb, and bright white is tiring on the eyes. A black background with light text is best for prolonged screen reading. However, never use black and white, the sharp contrast tires the eyes. Substituting #333333 for black and #CCCCCC for white greatly reduces the eye strain without decreasing legibility. Also, slight colours can be used to the same effect. Bright colours are a no-no online. A muted colour palette is best, but don't be afraid of colour, especially for accents. Also, sans serif fonts (like Tahoma, Arial, etc.) are easier to read then serif (Times [New Roman], Georgia, etc.). This difference is not terribly great, and the author's preference is most important here. GA and the forums are brilliant examples of effective colour/font use. While the background is light it is not bright white, which allows easy reading with minimal eye strain. Erm, I can clarify any of that if need be.
  17. I have fantasies where I swoop up [insert current crush here] and save him from an invasion. Usually not zombies, but it works in the same way. It was time to shuffle and redeal anyway –or– politicians in general, not sure. Weapons… Mine isn’t on there, H&K USP .40 S&W. It’s my wet dream gun in blue steel. I’d go with the 9mm otherwise; I prefer a larger clip to a bigger bang. Also, an M16 as primary. Great weapon as long as you can keep it clean. I'm a marksman. What to do? Stay on the move. More fun that way. Best place to be? South or Midwest. I’m familiar with the Midwest, however the South doesn’t usually get so cold if the invasion lasts into the winter. I hate cold. Best ride? Of that list, a Hummer. A Bradley or Abrams take too many people to operate, though I would choose the Bradley if I had people to drive me around. Honestly, I would prefer my car though. Something familiar,though I’d take what I can get as transport.
  18. Since it is a professional article you're probably going to have to pay for it. This is the only place I found it where you can buy a single article (29 USD), most are subscriptions to an entire site: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. However, since you are a student you should definitely check out your school's library, often a school has access to professional journals through research databases such as Academic OneFile. Ask a librarian or check out your school's library website. Access to these resources is usually included in tuition.
  19. Gratz' Johnny!

    Sexting

    Someone (fortunately) got arrested for picture messaging child pornography to a wrong number in my state. Sometimes I will send a dirty text, but never a naked picture. The margin for error is too great, accidentally picture messaging a picture of my wee-wee to some random person does not appeal to me.
  22. I used to sing until my mother started making fun of me. I stopped then. Once I move out again I might start again. I did last time I got away from my mum.
  23. It is available on Nifty. The Road Home on the guiltygroups mirror. I submitted an update for the GA archive as well.
  24. Technically corn is also cereal. However, yes, oatmeal is a breakfast cereal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_cereal
