  • Any polish story rec appreciated. NB: as I've said, I'm done with Western stories (I've been at it since 2019). I'm open to suggestions of stories from all of the Eastern (and African, if there exists some scenes there) zone.

    On the future of SFSS

    As you may have read earlier, I've taken a break. Today, I'm ready to relaunch SFSS in a new direction. I don't feel like publishing Western stories anymore, so I'm looking elsewhere.

    I started with Vietnam, a country I'm particularly fond of (I spent the best year of my life there), but the SF scene there is almost non-existent and the few stories I've read aren't very good.

    With the help of a Polish friend, the next few weeks will be devoted to finding good untranslated Polish stories.

    Finally, if you yourself are fluent in an Eastern language and would like to collaborate with me, please don't hesitate to contact me: [email protected]

    NB: any other suggestions/comments are welcome.

    O2 Day (2023) – Misha Burnett

    Enjoy!

    Autant de problèmes mais je vais quand même regarder de ce côté.

    Empreinte écologique : atroce

    Ca ce n'est pas un problème, j'ai le sens des priorités.

    Peut-etre ya des modèles pour senior ou plus simple qui font juste clignotant ?

    Je vais regarder.

    le tel Doro est très bien.

    Il ne sonne pas assez fort (83dB)

    Pourquoi pas une tablette ? c’est un énorme smartphone. :)

    C'est une idée si je trouve un launcher type 3310 !

    En tout cas, faut tester

    Oui voilà !

  • Problème : elle est incapable de se servir d'un smartphone. Et même avec un dumbphone, le tel est souvent à plat, elle oublie de le brancher. Du coup l'ampoule ça serait top, mais à quoi la relier de durable à un bouton ? Je n'y connais rien en domotique...

    Ma grand mère entend très mal. Je cherche en vain un dumbphone sonnant très fort.

    Des suggestions ?

    I've tried as many tools as I can, but I can't seem to create an RSS feed for this site. Any help appreciated.

  • Pour info : en theorie secrétaire de rédaction et correcteur, ce sont deux métiers différents. En pratique par contre, pour économiser, les media ont souvent largué les correcteurs et confié la correction aux secrétaires de redaction.

    1) According to you and apart from the number of words, what is the main difference between a short story and a novel?

    I think that word count divisions are arbitrary, largely determined by the economics of printing. Ideally, a story should be as long as it takes to tell it, whether that's 5,000 words or 500,000. In practical terms, there are pressures on authors to write stories of a certain word count. There are a lot of novels that would
