20100306: Awesome, Aryadne. Good job!
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Crap. This article is supposed to be ~1400 words...
half of my outline is nearing 500.
-{Citizen}- Fynn: I've never had a problem making the minimum
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: How can you be expected to write an article on awesome
beer in 1400 words?
-{Citizen}- Fynn: Always exceeding the max
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Well, it's for a magazine, so over isn't an option,
sadly.
-{Citizen}- Fynn: Yeah.
-{Citizen}- Fynn: Magazines arn't the place to write in depth
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: and if I let an editor have at it to get it under word
count... *shudder*
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Leave out all the articles. Keep nouns, some verbs, and
all-important adjectives.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav could have left out one article from that.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne turns in "Beer. Beer good. Like beer. Fermenting
good. Like fermented stuff."
-{Citizen}- Fynn: Don't forget a picture
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: No, Fynn. If you have a picture, you only get 400 other
words!
-{Citizen}- Fynn: Rich beer, with a foaming head, slightly spilling over.
You know, stock beer footage
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: I'm going w/lambic in open air fermentaion tanks for
one of the visuals, I think.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: ........ I read that as "going with iambic" and
wondered if you were trying to make this article sound like
doggerel.
-{Citizen}- Tartun: A lambic would go really well with my turkey sandwich.
-{Citizen}- Fynn: Is that a razor for young sheep?
-{Citizen}- Tartun: Belgian fruit beer
-{Citizen}- Fynn: Fruit beer?
-{Citizen}- Fynn: Doesn't sound good.
-{Citizen}- Rileska: Those two words..just don't sound good together.
-{Citizen}- Tartun: It's fermented with fruit. And it's amazing.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne:
When beer is put in open tanks
And yeasts show up in files and ranks
They make a dry and sour wort
That one day I'll pour down my throat.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Iambic :)
-{Citizen}- Rosuav claps for Aryadne
