Assuming you've read a lot of short stories in school or on your own, who do you think is the best short story writer you've ever read? I say Ernest Hemingway because everytime I read his short stories I discover something new, and I've read some ten times.

A major publishing house told my agent they are interested in my novel, but that they would like me to address some concerns with the novel first. Essentially, they'd like to see me make an effort at revising my work with the changes in mind. Do major publishing houses do this often? What are my realistic chances of getting published now?

Butler looked absolutely horrible in my opinion, and the goblins looked like alligators. Plus they missed Artemis's legendary line ("I don't like lollipops"). But other than that, I was generally pleased. They portrayed Captain Short very well, even though I didn't expect her ears to be that big.
What did you think?

My previous book that I copyrighted was titled - "Into the Dust" and my new title for my new book is "Into the Dust: The Search for the Truth"

Is it okay to have a separate copyright for the second title as they are both different books and I want to keep the original name.

Meursalt shoots dead a man who had been previously threatening to him and his friends, and who had before his eyes drawn and brandished a knife. Then the whole trial seems to revolve around Meursalt's attitude towards his mother and her recent death- and he gets sentenced to death!

Given that Meursalt wants to live, why would he not mention the man he shot had just drawn a knife on him? Any court would acquit him on those grounds. It just doesn't make sense. Camus says Meursalt stands for truth, if so, why doesn't this man mention the one obvious truth that would save him, ie, that he fired in self-defence?

Alot of places I submit short stories say they want the document in rich text format or .rtf. But when I convert my wordperfect document, it looks messed up. To me, it looked fine, but an editor ( grumpy) said he liked my story but literally cursed me out for having bad formatting. I think maybe I am doing something wrong in wordperfect. I know all about font, margins etc, What I am talking about is basically how to set up wordperfect for an author, and convert the file properly. I want it to look professional and polished. I thought I was doing everything right, but I guess not...Help, thank you!!!

Notice how many more fanfics or fanarts are dedicated to others such as Sirius or Lily. When you ask someone who their favorite character is, you are 50 times more likely to here "Snape" then "Harry". Do you think Harry the boy himself is interesting as a character, why or why not?

I have been reading Pride and Prejudice but have halted with some dissatisfaction at the chapter in which Mr Darcy makes his proposal of marriage to Elizabeth. He tells her that he has no regrets about breaking up the romantic liaison between Mr Bingley and Elizabeth's sister, owing to her sister's low social status. This is by implication a social reflexion on Elizabeth herself. And this he admits and expresses himself surprised that he has fallen in love with her and is willing to damage his social status by marrying her. I cannot believe that anybody would have the crass insensitivity to expect such a proposal to be accepted. It's not psychologically plausible without assuming a truly pathological degree of conceit that goes far beyond the plain and everyday 'Pride' that the title suggests. I greatly admire Jane's psychological insight and social commentary but Darcy's proposal is psychologically incredible. Or am I being imperceptive and obtuse ? Or just misreading the text ?

running the risk of ruining the plot this man is stuck back in time, he falls in love everything is so perfect it might make you sick then something has to happen because the man who helped send him back (fellow scientist) Is going to try and get him back and he needs a reason to leave (and take the girl with him most likely) must kill everyone in town or at least would kill the main characters so that the time line is not messed up with her returning from the past to the future with him
any ideas?
