    Highlight and Ctrl+C protection

    Highlight protection harms users more than it does scrappers. Readers would have to be prevented from quoting content, and as long as the text of the chapter is transmitted in text form in some way, it's a 15 minute job to write a script that extracts that, applicable to any story on the same...

    What Made You Start Writing, And I Guess Get Into Books

    Reading was a hereditary disease, writing out of disappointment in what I read, though little came of that before I realized editing is almost all of the shaping freedom for a fraction of the work.

    Writing Prompt Tragedy of a villainess

    I honestly didn't want to come. Not because I doubt her sincerity - the sister I know would never be as stupid to sacrifice this much if she wanted to use us again. But no matter how much she suffered I could never forget the stature of the heartless monster that doomed the man she supposedly...

    @owotrucked "This is an aspect of space travel that can be used to create interesting scenarios" means something different to me than "It's so retarded and unrealistic not to bring this up, why isn't everybody doing it" If the narrative effect you're going for can be achieved with other things...

    All of which are mechanics I've seen presented without the mention of radiators. You bring up the possibility to handwave the issue with other means yourself, and at that point why even mention it?

    It barely affects the people using it when it works as intended, and spelling death if compromised is true for almost all parts of a spacecraft. I'm not saying it'd be wrong to use, I just don't see how they're so unique taking general life support or what have you to get the "we're dead in x...

    Because there's little narrative point in addressing a problem that already has solutions which barely affect the people using it? -unless you're talking about mock schematics, but those I know seem to abstract from technicalities in general.

    Looking to read again, but writing is too much fun.

    As far as ideas are concerned, I'm a pretty shameless thief, so take this as such, but I don't necessarily see anything bad in others' ideas "creeping in". Make sure they behave for what you want your story to be about, and if you care more about intellectual authorship than me maybe to add your...

    Do you start at the end of a novel before reading?

    Could also be people dropping the book halfway and checking how it turns out. Haven't read the thing, so this is a general statement, but I've come across plenty of long running series that put off the things I read for once too many.

    Maybe because that's the colloquial term for it? If you're good and invested enough at English to adjust your writing so it MTLs well you might as well do OE.
