Lindbyer/Waldcher. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the near future, the name will often be frequently mentioned on various occasions by people of all skin colors and accents.
Associated with this is often earth-shattering initiatives; indelible merits; Not inferior to the contributions and achievements of any great man in the history of the earth.
The source of these words, and the end of their journey, are often the same name:
Lord Archon, or Lord Wu Xiaoyu.
This is different from the name "Lindbyer/Waldcher", which is always preceded or followed by a long list of flowery phrases.
In the minds of the vast majority of people, any decoration before and after the title "Archon" is superfluous, because it already represents the greatest compliment, the most sincere compliment.
Only a very small number at the highest level are qualified to know that the real first contact between these two great names originated at this very moment.
The change of fate also originated at this moment.
It originated from the casual clicking action of drinking coffee at this moment.
----
At the moment, Lindbyer is sipping coffee while casually clicking on a topic:
"The Cage of Skyrim"
Before he opened it, he had already decided in his heart that if the first paragraph was not exciting, he would delete it immediately; If the subject matter does not match, delete it immediately; If the sci-fi component is not enough, delete it immediately.
The first line took Lindebyer a lot of time.
There are only three sentences in the first line, and there are five misspellings alone.
Lindbyer frowned, habitually tapping on the keyboard, correcting the error in red with a crackling click, and then continued to look down.
After reading the first paragraph all the way, he couldn't believe his eyes: this bullshit thing can't just be described as "bullshit"! There are people in the world who would send this kind of text to the magazine submission mailbox.
The muscles at the corners of Lindebyer's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't delete them directly.
He kept looking!
Unable to tell the difference between curiosity and annoyance, Lindebyer wanted to see how far this grammatically error-ridden bullshit writer could be, and what a clumsy bullshit story he wanted to use his nonsensical sentences to describe.
Lindbyer did not realize that his idea was itself a mistake.
The manuscript was so bullshit that Lindebyer didn't realize that the memory left for him from the first paragraph was nothing but misspelled words, except for wrong phrases, wrong sentence patterns, and wrong grammar.
As for the storyline that the author wants to describe, it is not as good as the coffee cup he is holding in his left hand, which is only a shallow bottom circle, completely empty, and he can't remember it at all.
He continued to look down.
In the second paragraph, he found eight word mistakes, nineteen misspelled words, and almost not a single grammatically correct sentence.
There are ten misspellings and thirteen misspelled words in the third paragraph.
The fourth paragraph near the pagination was only one word wrong!
Although this paragraph is only one sentence in total. ---- consists of one word.
Lindbyer manipulated the mouse to drag it down, and the bottom plate of the mouse squeaked against the desk table.
The fifth paragraph is still full of errors and omissions.
Paragraphs 6, 7......
Lindbyer looked all the way.
Unconsciously, this manuscript was used as a problem for practicing grammar when I was a student.
So, unconsciously, his anger and curiosity gradually disappeared, his mood gradually calmed down, and his mind gradually penetrated into it.
Maybe it's the gods, or maybe it's the reason for the gods. The further down you look, the more similar this manuscript becomes to the grammar finding exercises.
Gradually, he began to feel a little strange.
It's as if it was deliberately designed by the author (Lindbyer didn't realize he had removed the word "bullshit").
At the beginning of the manuscript, there is a whole line of errors, which cannot be changed, so that the person who reads it can quickly enter the state of correction, and Lindebyer's hands are constantly on the keyboard and typing;
Gradually, a few words are wrong, and then a few words are wrong, and the practice questions are slightly more difficult; The sound of keyboard tapping also became choppy.
Then, Linde Baier picked up the coffee cup and flipped the keyboard cursor key with her other hand. There were only one or two misspellings in the next few paragraphs, and it was a bit of a struggle to find such non-obvious mistakes. ---- this is close to the normal level of submission.
In the last few paragraphs, the office was quiet, his body shook slightly, and he searched back and forth several times, and finally had to admit that they were completely correct, and they were much more rigorous than ordinary authors' submissions.
Author's contribution? I actually read such a bullshit submission from beginning to end? Thinking of this, his body swaying gently back and forth froze suddenly.
Is this a prank?
Yes, definitely. Linde Baier confirmed, looking at the display, the dense red corrections at the beginning became more and more sparse as they went down, and finally disappeared completely at the bottom of the document.
It seems to be a carefully arranged hierarchical structure, and the author deliberately writes it this way, deliberately writing the beginning as intolerable bullshit, creating a quirky attraction that draws the reader in and then gradually reduces the number of mistakes, so that the person who sees it can't help but immerse himself in it.
He felt that he had guessed the author's intentions.
Otherwise, the person who writes the beginning of the manuscript is exactly like a foreigner; The next few paragraphs prove that the foreigner's level of English does not exceed that of secondary school; The next passage suddenly becomes the colloquial language of ordinary citizens of the Stars and Stripes; What's even more outrageous is that the last few paragraphs of the manuscript can pass the critical eye of a senior editor.
"In the course of a few hundred words of practice, Mr. Genius's English level improved by leaps and bounds, and he successfully completed the ending of a story that met the requirements of a science fiction magazine even if it was only a sentence grammatically?"
How is this possible?
O my God, have you forsaken your Lamb? Why do I have such crazy thoughts in my head?
Lindbyer, who goes to church once a week, shakes his head vigorously.
God favored him, but he threw out his mind the speculation that was infinitely close to the truth.
Like the image in his mind, the merciful God forgave him and continued to reveal to him; The majestic God also gave him a little mercy and punishment, and made him do many, many things on this day that he could not have believed.
Lindebyer felt that the approach of this manuscript was still new, and when he thought about it, he realized that the storyline in the manuscript had basically failed to impress his mind by only correcting the mistakes, but there seemed to be something interesting in it.
It's a pity if you don't read it again after you change it. Looking at the red mark on the display, he felt a sense of accomplishment and felt a fly in the ointment.
The mouse wheel scrolls up, the page flips, and the title appears again: "The Cage of Skyrim".
This is the second view, and two views often mean that the submission or the author has potential to be explored, or to put it more bluntly, it means that it is already feasible for publication.
Although Lindbyer was not aware of it, and it was not his intention.
