I forgot to mention, in the first few I sent out, that an underscore, in the manuscript world, means that the underscored words are to be intalicised.

Interestingly, this is why so many early comic-book stories had underscored words -- the real editors had been conscripted into the army, and the kids taken on as sub-editors and editors by publishing houses in the "cheap" end (i.e. pulps and comics) didn't know what the underscore meant (which is also why it stopped happening, relatively quickly).

So you've learned something today, which makes it a good day.

That's sad. I myself can't think of anything bad to say about my lovely wife.

(I've turned my camera on, so you can tell me if she's gone -- I don't want to risk looking over my shoulder)

Im a lot into fantasy, sadly haven't watched GoT but Vikings instead (a bit)!
So is this a classic fantasy roman?

Since i promised my self to write a book (i already started 3 XD) i would also volunteer, i know the feeling when just can't get to it to finish it. The only requirement i won't meet is that im not a native english speaker $Shucks | :-\$

There's no "email" link at the bottom of your messages.

I know it sounds like I'm being persnickety, but I can pass CP members as "peer review". If I give the MS to people I don't know personally who I can't (legally) classify that way, then the publisher can claim that they're not getting "first publication" rights, which can lead to all kinds of nastiness.

Have you seen how App Academy financials work? It's an interesting idea. (App Academy[^] )
I think the first point is a bit of double-speak though. "You pay nothing but you do have to provide a refundable deposit of $5,000." What!?!

From the site FAQs:
How much does App Academy's 12 week immersive program cost?
For eligible students, App Academy's 12 week immersive program has no upfront tuition cost, but does require a $5,000 fully refundable deposit (refunded one year after completion of the course, or rolled into first payment upon finding a job). Upon finding a job, App Academy charges a tuition fee of 18% of your first year's salary.

The tuition model differs for students who are not US citizens or Permanent Residents or for students who are under the age of 22. If you are not a US Citizen or a Permanent Resident, or are under the age of 22, you will be required to pay an upfront fixed tuition fee of $15,000.

If you are eligible for the 18% plan, but prefer to pay the upfront fixed fee, you may do so.

Anything which purports to guarantee you a high paying job after just twelve weeks training is to be avoided by definition irrespective of the financial terms in my opinion. This system is obviously designed to prevent lawsuits on failure to deliver an adequate course (perhaps Mr. Trump should have tried it?) and to provide a credit cushion when the whole thing inevitably goes bust!

I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Not sure who would deserve the WTF... the people charging that or the person foolish enough to pay that.
