Rubbish. Who on earth sells moustaches?

Q. Which would you say is the best literary magazine here
for the purpose of publishing a short tale?
in finnish. my english is so inflexible that it wouldn't be fun at all. -don't know about the literary mags, depends on the stuff you write I'd guess. if it's anywhere near sci-fi, I suppose tähtivaeltaja could be the best channel. for more literary stuff... -well, who even reads those anyway? except teenagers and emo-kids of course. 🙂

if it's done well it's okay. if not, well, what could be more boring? but the same applies to any aspect of writing. in older literary it's almost always painstakinly Slow. it was the time before we got educated in multimedia you know, that stuff is just mostly too slow now. anachronistic.

moustaches are always great though! :-{) maybe I'll write a roadtrip with moustaches.....

No, no, no. I mean that stopping the story to describe the mustache or the scenery or whatever is analogous to stopping a movie to have a commercial. It breaks the flow. It's jarring.

That's why correspondence chess is so nice - you can use the analyze board.

It's called "analyze board" here. I was just going with the name used on this site.

Your pedantic demeanour lacks a necessary creativity needed to utilise the English language fully 🙁
