@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 11:12 PM) drat, it's at 150 but I want to add one more in a better place... delete one more...
@ SillySilenia	:	(22 May 2013 - 11:11 PM) True, though I feel being slightly heavy-handed is more acceptable in flash-fic, because you kind of need to put some things clearly from the start, as you don't have much room to further explain. In a multi-chapter, there's less excuse for it, because you've got time and space enough to drop hints and let the hints paint the picture. (Then again, short short stories aren't exactly my strongest suit)
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 11:10 PM) 1.. 1.. 1..
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 11:06 PM) It does, It's hard to hint that all the relationships, business and personal are all virtual without being heavy handed
@ SillySilenia	:	(22 May 2013 - 11:04 PM) Or at least, that's my suggestion.
@ SillySilenia	:	(22 May 2013 - 11:04 PM) Though if the beginning does not -need- those nine words you can still put in, keep them out.
@ SillySilenia	:	(22 May 2013 - 11:03 PM) Nice =)
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 11:02 PM) Woo! I made it down to 141, I can put 9 more words in!
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:59 PM) this is my summary of the one I'm writing: Aging professional has no relationships who aren't VR-remoted (social side Matrix)
@ SillySilenia	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:58 PM) When it's for a class, it's better to keep the teacher's rules, yes.
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:56 PM) has to give setting, character and problem in that 150 words. I don't have too much trouble with 200 words, but sweating it down is trickier. The teacher defines flash as 500, but other places like here it's up to 1000. But I'd staying within her rules for the class
@ SillySilenia	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:53 PM) Ah, 150 words max for a start? Depending on the kind of story, that can be really difficult.
@ SillySilenia	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:53 PM) Okay.
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:53 PM) gotta write a good start in 150 words max
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:52 PM) I'm workign on my class work, not gone
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:49 PM) cool
@ SillySilenia	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:48 PM) I can also nitpick forever, but knowing I've recently looked over all of it should help me limit the amount of... after-care the project needs this time.
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:45 PM) I can nit pick forever, so the delay until I hear from my betas, if not too long helps me move on to a different project
@ SillySilenia	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:44 PM) I'm currently rewriting the whole damn thing, because there were some minor issues in beginning and end as well. Nothing that will change the meaning or actual content, but when I'm going to rewrite everything anyway, I can just as well take a good look over all of it anyway.
@ Anesor	:	(22 May 2013 - 10:42 PM) cutting the middle that is?
