K, is there a service in Canada like Amazon Video that allows you to rent videos for a few days and stream them? I don't mind paying $4 occasionally to see a film that I don't want to own.

Dunno much of that stuff. I don't consume very much video media. Yet to see any of the Pirates or Transformers or anything, but I did finally get to the live action Beauty & the Beast.

Pretty toasty here in Ontario. I had a bottle of OJ last week that I pushed into the snow on a table at the local watering hole and the snow finally thawed enough that I found it again today. I've been defrosting it for a bit now and can almost drink it

pfft... just because you guys have a lot of cool spiders doesn't get you the title of sexy accent

QA isn't a main. Imagine having her in every Joseph chapter chattering away

Meesa thinkin youza is crazy for likin Jar-Jar

I was ok with Jar Jar's speech patterns, however I found he brought excessive levity to the story. I mean the story already has tons of comedy (eg the chain of bigger fish eating each other) and here you have a main who can't sell your serious scenes.

He's like WWE Wrestler Doink the Clown who gets occasional matches to lighten the mood in longer events. But imagine you're stuck with this clown in every match. No matter how desperate or dire the match-- or emotional the foe, there's this clown standing there in the background.

Hi, new person

The critics LOVED Phantom Menace. Within one day of its release to the norms, Jar Jar was the most hated thing on the planet, momentarily eclipsing Justin beiber.

Then the critics loved Ep2 because Jar jar was muted, but they forgot ep2 was so unmemorable most people need google to tell you the central villain.

It stands to reason that the studio only allows critics to publish favourable reviews (By the way, books do that with Kirkus and similar reviews).

Luckily there are no due dates in this group, and reviews are always appreciated but never mandatory!

Indeed. The AlphaOmega group's system would appear to be quite stressful. People like me who can go moths between reviews would get booted quickly.

King of the Salves, is it?
Why not Lord of the Lotion or Baron of the Balm?

That's a lot of falling

What's the most logical book to proceed to? Perhaps it makes the most sense to go into to the one about her son?

Marketing will be a time-consuming bitch

for RG it's been harder than writing it. At least writing came naturally. And there are so many weird fly-by-night marketing agencies whispering promises in my ears

Since they are saying "Shi" and meaning "si"... maybe you can get away with spelling it "si". I dunno. Hope a purist can chime in

...and "shimbaddo"

re "Siburassu"

I'm watching Netflix "Sinbad" a Japanese show. For Sinbad (shortened to Sin) they're clearly saying "Shin".

Maybe Shiburassu isn't that far off

Hi Sol...

This one is relatively minor in the scheme of things, but the option to leave a group has disappeared.

I mean it was always hard to find before but now I just don't see it at all. Maybe an edit devoured it?

hmmm I can honestly say my work will never be "good enough". I'm always going to be pushing my boundaries and if I somehow reach those, I'll push the envelope.

When you say manage structure, are you talking about macroeconomics or micro?

I feel your pain about Melody. I have this weird character who's kind of a main but kind of a side. I could delete her and the ending would remain unchanged. I'm usually pretty ruthless with that kind of flotsam. But this character is like *puppy dog eyes* Please don't delete me (or feed me to the slaughter machine (or cut my arms off)).
