I don't care too much for money; money can't buy me love.
Playstation and/or Playstation 2. I gave up after that. I'm all about Crash Bandicoot and Tekken.
I have a Wii, I think. There was this one game I used to love; it involved surfing.
Not much of a gamer. Like to watch people game sometimes.
I have once. And I do not identify as either bisexual or gay.
When you delete a post, it always takes you back to the first page of that thread. Is it possible to take you to the page your now deleted post was originally on?
I think every aspect of a piece—content, style, execution, consistency, technical accuracy, how much it engages me, how much it touches me, etc., etc.—plays a (perhaps not always equal) part when deciding on a score.
If I didn't enjoy a story, for whatever reason, even if I could see that it was "technically" a good/well-written story, then my vote should reflect that. It would be hypocritical to give a high score but then say to a friend, "Not my cup of tea."
To be honest, I vote with my gut. When I reach the end of the story, it usually doesn't take me long to decided which score to give it because, in that moment, I know how I feel about the story, even if I'm not wholly aware of all the nitty-gritty of it.
I couldn't help but notice that all your collaborations have been with women, Milik. Do you think collaborating on a story with a man would bring a different dynamic to the process? Is there a reason you've never done it?
I've never written collaboratively, and I've never wanted to. I probably never will. It's not because I need to be in control, but because I can't believe that I would enjoy it. When I think about how I write, and how I enjoy writing, I just can't imagine how another person fits into that without pushing me to the point of not enjoying it.
Almost everything in my life I prefer to do alone (I can think of one notable exception), and working with others has caused me a not insignificant amount of suffering in the past. I usually end up distancing myself from the project, which isn't fair on the other person/people.
I'm a selfish writer.
I am much more interested in how much I enjoy writing it than how much other will enjoy reading it. Sometimes my writing is full of overly complex phrases and long sentences with multiple clauses that are hard to follow—call it an indulgence of mine.
That's not to say that I don't consider readability at all. Of course I want people to want to read my stories, but it's not as important as having written something that I took the greatest pleasure in writing, and sometimes that means sacrificing a degree of readability.
Reading my stories is hard work at times, and I apologise for that, but I'm not likely to change any time soon because I've never yet been disappointed by the reception those stories that I have truly enjoyed writing have received.
I'm aware of it sometimes. You don't need to be especially well-endowed to show a bit of bulge; it depends on your positioning.
Sometimes I feel a bit uncomfortable about it, and will try to shift so I'm comfortable but not on display. I guess what runs through my mind is that a lot of people will assume any such protrusion is an erection.
It has certainly been a consideration when buying trousers. As a teacher, tight-fitting trousers are rarely if ever a good choice.
It's unavoidable at times, and a lot of the time you won't even be aware of it (and nor will anyone else), but it has played on my mind more than once.
Good and interesting thread.
My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun.
I just laughed, out loud, because I'm on Lush in "porn mode" at the moment.
In inches? In miles? In laughter and strife?
My wallet's too small for my fifties, and my diamond shoes are too tight.
