The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Creative Writing, yes.

Took a creative writing class in college. It was fun, but I'm still crippled by rampant perfectionism and chronic writer's block.

I'd like to read some of your stuff. And that's also a euphemism for wanting to do you up the butt.

but "It's just a fact" isn't a clause by itself surely since it isn't independent of the proceeding sentence. Without elaborating on what the fact is its meaningless, thus he should use a colon or a comma. Otherwise it looks and sounds sloppy.

Independent clauses are usually simple sentences and simple sentences can be grammatically correct even if they contextually rely on preceding or subsequent sentences.

For example: I like this car. It is very interesting.

Both are simple sentences and independent clauses even though the latter sentence relies on the former for context. Thus a semicolon would not be inappropriate in lieu of a period.

It was kind of a rip-off actually. A third of the classes were for media studies for some stupid reason? Another was for the history of literature. Urgh. Then only the one last class involved any actual writing. And half the time the selections of writing courses were shit, so I'd end up doing Writing For Children or Theatre. 🙄

Sure, except he wrote it backwards, so his version would be:

It is very interesting. I like this car.

It miiiight be technically correct, but its extremely awkward and should be rearranged or the grammar should be changed. If he'd established he was talking about his feelings for me beforehand it wouldn't be as bad, but as it is its badly worded, hence why I added the colon. That way it makes more grammatical sense.

^are you confusing "it's" and "its" on purpose, lol?

For some reason, I always thought Nephthys wrote his doctoral dissertation on the analysis of the chemical composition and formation cycles of neutron stars.

No, I just can't be that bothered with grammar on a forum. If it doesn't set off the auto-correct who cares.

Seriously, Neph. Samples? I've shown you mine, you can show me yours.

And then you can show me some writing.

Er, no thanks. I way too self-conscious.

About your writing or your junk?

I am self-conscious about both.

(Only just thought of this sick burn.)

Well I'm pleased to know you've thought so much about me, Han. I'm quite flattered.

(oooooh that was so ill)

(completely off topic) man i was just on swtor forums, and they hate revan, I mean neph's brain would simultaneously explode and implode, while he craps out remaining brain tissue, if he saw what they say about him (example: revan is far weaker than vader)

B-but they like Tulak Hord right!? Please tell me they like Hooooord!

Anyway, yeah p. much. I'm a member there and its mostly like KMC 5 years ago, where the Palpatine faction shits on everyone and people get really aggressive over Revan.

It's due to back lash. Awhile back those forums were filled with Revan fanboys.

I learned Math today!
And thought of a HP fanfic idea

JADE!

It's sad to think that KMC forums is dying a slow death.

Quick, disagree with me on something! Make a Bane, HoT and Hord vs Anakin, Caedus and Palpatine thread!

Right on it.

What did you say about Jade?
