>>24598472
the guy who's writing an autobiography about fitzgerald has everything to gain from one of the world's most divisive critics stirring up controversy over fitz's work. there's a reason he didn't make it known himself, and until you find stronger evidence it's apocryphal

The Romanian and Bulgarian girls almost all have black hair, partly because lots of them are gypsies.

>I wonder if they stay in that job for years or just make some euros
Depends, I know enough examples of both cases... however, "a few weeks" is rare and only really happens if a girl simply cannot handle the job. Usually girls come at 18 or 19 and either work for a year or two to build up a financial foundation for life at home (works nicely with the low cost of living in eastern eu), or they "professionalize" and stay in the job for many years, basically until they hit a hard wall somewhere before 30 when the earnings take a nosedive because it becomes harder and harder to compete with the fresh, younger girls.

Some stupid ones drop out earlier than they want because they "graduate" from cocaine to crystal at some point in their sex work career, and it just wrecks them... powdered drugs are quite common in this job, they help with the long working hours and take the edge off of constantly fucking dudes that could be their dads or granddads

Wtf did this thread turn into

>>24599574
Surely a parable for the country of Romania itself. It mirrors the bedazzlement of Romanians in real life when they realize that thousands and thousands of young Romanian girls work as prostitutes in western europe, and ask " Wtf did my country turn into"

imi pare rau daca acest lucru este surprinzator sau frustrant, dar este pur si simplu un fapt ca in europa de vest, cnd oamenii vad un roman, se gandesc automat la „sofer de camion sau curier amazon” daca este barbat si la „prostituata” daca este fata

As much as I like the way you write, this isn’t a love story. I have read many things in books that the author obviously doesn’t understand, and it comes off as cringey as hell.
For example I read a LitRPG once and you could tell the female author never played a videogame in her life (i knew the writer) and it just comes off as “wtf r u talking about”

I would imagine it would be the same for someone that has never experienced love, their perspective would come from hearing, reading and seeing other media portrayals of love and it would come off as cringey since the real thing is not as surface level.

>>24599448
>That's fine, except no native English speaker would ever say "we were they."
Except plenty would as a way of demonstrating how arch they are. It is a classed move. Also it is incorrect, because the tense is wrong, "we *are* they." The assurance is a sub-clause which requires it be given in present tense as its a paraphrase of what was said *at that time* in the past.

Compare to "Except us cunts told those cunts the typo meant shit because we are us."

The theoretical framework of the book goes beyond the Indian context as Slavoj Žižek said that it is a “required reading for anyone who wants to understand the precipice toward which our entire world is heading ... a book for everyone who seriously wants to think”.[33] Robert Bernasconi said that the world should “listen and learn” from it since “Not since the days of Sartre has philosophy addressed political issues with the directness and clarity that Dwivedi and Mohan”.[34]

Such is the woe of fanfic writers.
You love writing the cool, fun or interesting scenes to change, expand or twist canon but stuck writing the buildup and fillers leading up to them.

>>24599265
Yes, and it's worse than you think. Back in the day we pretended to be adults and didn't shy away from sex or mature themes. Now the kids are puriteen crusaders out to destoy anything even slightly "problematic"... such as 2 year age gaps and heterosexuality. these kids now are crazy. just worthless little cunts.

>>24599302
Speak for yourself, my plots are flawless. (not that anon). Fanfic is so easy to pump out that you get a clear vision on the math behind what makes story structures work. I say math in the way of there being patterns to the structure like the 5 arc model, but it's a lot more nuanced than that and you can only get a feel for how you structure your stories best by writing a number of novels. Fanfic lets you cut out the research and background stuff and just focus on making functional stories that are appealing and finishing them with a satisfying resolution. great practice.

>My partner in what?
Homosexual relations

>>24592865
If my partner doesn't read I try to get them to read something short. If they don't budge I casually drop stuff out of nowhere. Like start talking about something I read in the middle of a walk. In my experience girls enjoy such things.

>Who do you discuss books with IRL?
No one. I sometimes mention what I'm reading to either my friends or family. They either act milidly interested for a couple of minutes (which means that they will never read it) or say that they will read it (which means that they will never read it).
>What if you partner doesn't read?
Every single female "reader" I've ever met only read slop and once in a blue moon gave something like Jane Austen or Lispector a read so they could larp for a bit. They are also very proud of their reading and judgemental towards non-readers.
>And how to cope with not having anyone who reads?
By discussing what I am reading with autists in a basket-weaving forum or searching for past autists' takes in said forum's archive.
I don't like 4chan very much but I am grateful to have somewhere where I can discuss and get to know more esoteric books/movies/vidya.

I used to hang out with people from a well-respected Classics program but have since drifted from everyone I knew there. Most will specifically never speak to me again after an incident.
My current partner doesn't read and gets insecure when I talk about books. I thought my job would make up that gap when I began it, but it actually widened it.
The result is that I spend several hours a day at a cafe, just reading and writing. Without a stable, encouraging feedback loop, I will probably never become someone of note, but it is what it is. One gets to an age where one's responsibilities to those one's landed around, if only by accident, take precedence.
