[QCrit] HIMALAYA, Upmarket fiction, 67k words (3rd attempt)

Hi everyone, tried to incorporate the feedback from my last round into this one, which included changing the genre. Also including my first 300 (gulp). Novel word count is a bit low but I think I've upped it as much as I can for now. Thank you in advance! **QUERY:** Dear agent, \[personalization\] I am seeking representation for my own-voice upmarket novel, HIMALAYA, a standalone piece comple...

Handball shoes cheap online seemed like a win but wrecked my ankle in pickup game.

So yeah I've been playing casual handball with buddies on weekends for years now. Needed new handball shoes cuz my old ones were worn out and slipping on the gym floor every pivot. Local sports stores wanted like 120 bucks for decent ones so I hunted for deals thinking handball shoes are way cheaper online if you skip the big brands. Found some knockoff pairs that looked just like the adidas or M...

In Europe, Allen Iverson was much bigger than Kobe Bryant in the late 90s and 2000s...

I’m from Portugal and for me Kobe is without a doubt a top 10 player in basketball history, and definitely greater than Iverson. But it’s interesting that Allen Iverson was much more well known than Kobe in the late 90s and 2000s. Europe, as you know, is more connected to football/soccer, but a lot of people also follow basketball. As a big fan of both sports, and someone who has followed the ...

Are we incompatible or am I overthinking this?

Hi everyone, looking for some outside perspective. I’m a 35F dating a 50M. We both have kids — mine are all under 18, while his are grown adults. Since my divorce, I’ve been really intentional about getting my finances in order. I make about $150K/year, contribute 6% to a Roth 401K (with employer match + additional contributions totaling 7.5% of my salary), and my goal is to max out my Rot...

Trusted websites to buy hockey hobby boxes from?

I tried searching but I didn’t find anything. Hoping to find trusted websites that sell hockey hobby boxes?? And how do I know I’m not getting scammed or a re-sealed box if I find a sports store near me?? Edit: I’m in the US and don’t tell me to just buy singles online, that takes the fun out of it

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and finally put it into words.

It’s easy to write off an addict when you’ve never had a wound deep enough to need numbing just to breathe. After the abuse, I did not know how to stay inside myself. Being in my body felt like sitting inside a house that had been broken into. Nothing felt safe anymore - not even my own skin. I did not wake up one day and decide to self-destruct. I just wanted relief. I wanted something that...

Why Do Some NFL Jerseys Feel More Authentic Than Others?

A few weeks ago I saw a kid at a sports store holding an NFL jersey tightly. At first it looked like any jersey but when I noticed the stitching, fabric weight and printed logos it felt like more than just [fanwear.it](http://fanwear.it) carried a sense of team pride and quality. That moment made me realize how details matter even in something seemingly simple like a jersey. later while casually...

Skate recommendations

Right now I just have some cheap skates I got at a random sports store that so far I have been quite happy with but I am wondering if I should get some better quality ones. Now that the public rinks are closed I do a lesson once a week but in winter I go up to 3x a week. I am still fairly beginner. For jumps I can do a waltz and am now practicing toe loops and salchow. Still practicing a good, lon...

Buying my first pair of shoes

So, I recently started doing so bouldering and climbing with my wife (indoor). And we want to buy our first pairs of climbing shoes. We don't have a dedicated shop near us that specialized to climbing gear, only the big brands (germany) that also offer climbing gear. I know that after a month it might be too early to commit to a pair of shoes, but I cannot stand having to rent shoes, especially wi...

First time binding with tape! (Any tips are welcome).

Hi, I'm new to posting here but I just felt so good and had to share. As the title suggests, it's my first time binding with tape (I got some kinesiology tape from a sports store near me). If anyone has any tips for binding with tape, I'd welcome them. How did I do? (Im going for a more androgynous figure btw).

Bauer GSX Pants

Hey all, looking to get into the position but not breaking the bank. I found some new GSX pants for 150, I’m seeing used pants for around the same price, and I haven’t found anything at any of the play it again sports stores near me. Thoughts on the deal?

Second hand sport stores

Are there any second hand sport stores in Victoria or Courtenay (or anywhere else for reference). I’m in Nanaimo and there’s not one here. I’m occasionally in other cities and would like to stock up on some things. Thanks.

Basketball Backpacks with Ball Holders: Are They Worth It?

Basketball players often carry more than just a ball when heading to practice or games. Shoes, water bottles, extra clothing, towels, and training gear all need to fit into one convenient bag. Because of this, basketball backpacks with ball holders have become increasingly popular among players of all levels. These specialized backpacks are designed with an external or expandable compartment that ...

Cannondale Habit 3 or Norco Fluid HT1

Hey all, I'm a 50yr old ex mountain biker who happened to wander in to a local sports store and they had a Norco Fluid HT1 as a close out, a 2024 I think. All in it was $1450 CAD with a dropper post that made swinging my legs over a lot easier. It got me thinking about getting back on the saddle, 😂. Then I ended up in REI and found a Cannondale Habit 3 with an extra 30% off, all the way down to...

[QCrit] Adult Women's Fiction -- Himalaya (70k words/ 2nd attempt)

Hi everyone, thanks for the helpful feedback on my first attempt. I applied it to the second version, below. I also noticed that a lot of agents require synopses... anyone have tips for writing those or where to get feedback for a synopsis? Another thought is my novel is on the low end of the acceptable word count, but hopefully not too short to be considered. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks! QU...

Louisville TPS 9000 PHG8 Pants, Player or Goalie?

Purchased these from Side Line Swap via a Play it again sports store. Great Shape. Absolutely massive though in bulk/girth. Are these goalie pants? They were advertised as "player" pants. https://preview.redd.it/ephli36w2vog1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53f43366035d4c22781fd30f8242b669402a20b7 https://preview.redd.it/5yx9i56w2vog1.jpg?width=1536&a...
