Yuchtar Lieutenant Offline Where are my glasses? Posts: 82 Location: Earth Re: Interesting articles Reply #48 - Feb 2nd, 2012 at 9:56pm Print Post Hmmmmm, wonder if I have a problem with filter words. Would I even recognize it if I do? I hate first person/present, though - reads like RPG notes. I enjoy reliving the fun I had by reading my own RPG notes, but I don't want to pay money (or waste time) reading someone else's RPG notes. Do publishing houses not even bother hiring editors anymore? I see a LOT of problems - spell-checker inserting the wrong word problems, continuity problems (like a character's eye colour suddenly changing mid-novel for no good reason), even character name changes - oops! Ah, well, maybe I'll go re-read a few of my stories and see if I have too many filters .... Later!! Yeah, I'm a smutty-minded perv - what of it? WWW IP Logged

Was someone laying prostate on the bed? Buahahahahaha! In a book by a well know in certain circles gay erotica writer, one of the main characters had beautiful green eyes that suddenly became blue in the middle of the book. Wassup with that?? Cheers!
