In recent years, they've changed the school ones in a lot of places from "just hide and pray they'll go away" to "Run, Hide, Fight" like it should be, especially in middle and high schools where the kids are bigger and more likely to put up a fight if, God forbid, it came down to it.

We only ever had lockdown drills when I went to school. No actual run-throughs of a police response during the drill. At most, the police would come along and manually unlock each door. It was held once a year. We thankfully never had a real lockdown when I went. We did have a false alarm when...

Because they're lazy and want all the attention with none of the effort.

Hmm... I mean, I've had a few characters who were not good people say really hateful things about race/LGBTQ people/etc. I also had an MC once gibe a very Punisher-esque rant while killing someone and say that their family and friends were just as guilty as the person they were killing, which to...

Depends on the story, and tbh it's usually random. Much of Mad World was written while listening to the music of Susumu Hirasawa and Tears for Fears. My favorite bands are Queen, Genesis, and Led Zeppelin, so their songs get into the mix too for writing. And yes, that includes the Berserk...

All of my stories have some kind of romantic subplot in them. The two with the most are Page by Page and Mad World. Page by Page is about a mangaka named Shizuka Hiratai and her journey as an artist and storyteller as her manga, a shojo series named Break The Ice, gets more and more popular. It...

For Mad World (and possibly for any story I've ever written), the darkest thing I has to search for was research on the impact of sexual abuse, specifically child sexual abuse, because the main character of the series is a survivor of child rape. For The Burning Desire to Save, I went through a...

I participated last year (Mad World and The Burning Desire to Save) and will do so again this year (The Burning Desire to Save and The Hauntings That Follow Us). I'd recommend keeping your ongoing story entry to 60,000 words or less.

What is some music that you have listened to or has otherwise inspired you when writing? In my case, one of my stories is named after a song, that being Mad World by Tears For Fears. Their whole first album, The Hurting, was listened to in its entirety several times when I was writing parts of...

So as the title suggests, I have three works published here. Two of them, Mad World and The Burning Desire To Save, did decently well in a light novel competition, although neither won (MW made it in the top 80 out of 400+ entries and barely missed the top 20, and TBDTS made it in the top 20 but...

I'll go through the weapons of each of the Fox Knights in Mad World as of now (Chapter 2-7): Ruka Kishio: Longsword Hana Miyashita: Katana Yoshiro Arikawa: Cutlass Yoko Fujimori: Crossbow/regular and explosive bolts Tenko Ikezawa: Twin handguns and throwing knives Sayaka Miyamura: Bow and arrow...

Someone already posted the We're The Millers screenshot, but, uh, "you guys are getting paid?"

It's a high-effort shitpost and the quality is reflective of that. I'll let you come to your own conclusions.

Oh God... I remember finding these as a writer on AO3 (thisissparta789789). It was, uh... interesting.:blob_shock:

Hmm... Depending on the work Mad World: He is initially confused by magical beasts, but quickly finds his footing hunting them, although he would run into trouble doing so outside of the system set up by the Protection and Research Agency. He'd definitely be a force to be reckoned with. The...
