    Writing How do I create a "-punk" environment?

    I guess subtly slipping words in? I did at one point write a steampunkesque city as part of my arc and aside from some basic descriptions and the character personalities and knowledge reflecting this world I just sorta slipped in descriptive words here and there to make people understand exactly...

    If someone fell in love with you, why did they like you?

    I guess because they have low standards? I'm not a nice person, I'm extremely blunt and don't pull punches, I'm a pessimist in all things, and I'm not kind or selfless in any way shape or form. When you take away my intelligence and make everyone better than me in that way, you're left with...

    Emotions vs. Reason

    I am an extremely rational person but I can get oddly emotional about very specific things, so I would say both are very important. I think it's much more important to be able to push aside emotions and focus on the logical decision, however I won't say that we should just completely ignore...

    Idea Generator

    How about someone who basically when faced with a decision, they end up seeing the result of the decision/decisions which they didn't make- however they don't know the result of the decision which they did make. Call the series "Hindsight" or something.

    How Much of a Planner Are You?

    I usually plan in 3 stages Stage 1. Overall story plan. I have a basic plan for the entire story and it's ending, and the general events for each volume. Stage 2. Volume plan. I plan the details on the characters and events for a specific arc from the beginning to the end of the volume. This...

    If you were to redesign something people deem important but is terribly inefficient, what would it be?

    I do love myself some roundabouts but only up to medium levels of traffic. Even medium-high levels are too much for roundabouts to handle.

    If you were to redesign something people deem important but is terribly inefficient, what would it be?

    Well, since I am a Civil Engineer imma go with the roadways and traffic lights. Also to anyone who thinks that the Imperial system is inefficient, I'd have to disagree. I know many people who are from metric countries who came over and began using Imperial, and now like it better than metric...

    Thinking up the way your characters fight: fighting styles

    My fighting system is based on natural abilities rather than trained combat, so any fighting I do isn't based off any 'style', but rather focused on the intricacies behind condition based combat. It's more like chess than it is like a fight.

    Writing Can't think of anything

    Just thinking. Think and think and think. Play out scenes in your head. Create characters in your mind. Just think. In the shower, before you go to bed, go on a walk, the more you think about a story the more details come together.

    Writing Any tips on how to write an easily understandable explanation for certain scientific topics?

    At the end of the day, you're allowed to make up your own science. It's a fantasy for a reason. As long as something makes logical sense, it doesn't have to be real science, because you can just say 'this is how the world works in my universe'

    Are you very wholesome?

    My stories are anything but wholesome, yet there are some oddly demented wholesome moments? Like there are moments that if taken out of context would be very wholesome yet put into context are extremely messed up

    About religion in writing.

    See now, when people read my own writing they might think that I am an atheist. This is because within my writing, or rather within my own fictional world, I have made the assumption that no god exists, and I build the world around that concept. Oddly enough, the reason I have done this is...

    How do you deal with foolishness of your readers

    I dont get many comments but the few I do are usually either positive or constructive when regarding to criticism. I have received some of the things you speak of- specifically where readers simply hate the content of my story because they didn't enjoy it or whatever. It's not their preferred...
