It paid really well, but not well enough.

there were a few months where the media would not shut up about second life. it was obviously the next big thing according to all of the tech press and every company had to have a presence there as if it was the internet all over again. this lined up well with SA griefing campaigns there.

vOv posted:i think i found my new favorite bitcoin poster and by favorite i mean 'this dude is loving wacko' I am going to release one of the most amazing self-published novels of all time in early 2015. It will do things that have never been done in fiction before, and I am assembling a great team to help me realize this. I have two artists to illustrate, one of which is a newcomer, but has fierce talent. The other is Chris Cold, famous artist who recently completed work on the videogame Shadowgate. My writing is strong 💪 (especially for a first time author, I have studied fiction writing in my spare time for many years), my characters are solid, my plot is incredible, and my world is amazing and fully supports the above. What I need now is the help of an expert editor to help me polish and sharpen my chapters into the best possible book they can be. I need someone who has edited major projects before and can provide examples of their work, and is willing to become passionate about this world and this novel. That's why I'm profit sharing; I know it's not conventional, but I want team members who aren't just doing the job, but who actively believe in the project and want their royalties to be as big as possible. This book deals with many dark and adult themes, and has a great deal of religious references in it. Therefore this person also cannot be someone who is easily offended. My current plot pitch is below, and the most current rough draft is available for qualified applicants. I am aiming to release this by April of next year. - - - - - Five different women faced their own personal challenges that afternoon. They were strangers, sharing their public restroom under different circumstances. Then the gunshots rang out in the hallway. Now they all had a new problem. Confusion, argument, and darkness give way to a voice over the building intercom. It offers instructions, but who will listen? Who do you trust when you open a door, and find an entirely different hallway than the one you entered from? Welcome to the Labrys.

I worked for a small tech company in like 2007 and one day the CEO asked me if I thought they should have a presence on Second Life I think she read my expression of shock and dismay pretty well because that was basically the end of the idea right there

The Leck posted:i have to know more about this job and why people were learning Latin. were they disrupting the catholic church? It was supposed to encourage lateral thinking or something. It was a communications consulting thingy. I already took seven years of Latin, so I didn't see how it would encourage anything but boredom in me. The Second Life business was the real dealbreaker.
