    Why Are Fanfictions Hated ?.

    I skip reading them mostly because I haven't watched/read the original work. I will read them if the pitch has a great hook. I stumbled on a Scott Pilgrim fanfic once, and adored it. But Naruto something, Harry Potter this.. usually it's pass. Original character set in the world of, and who...

    Need help! How to write good quality stories faster

    Ahh, sorry. Game dev jargon slipped in unnoticed. We use "shipping" games as the shorthand for what we give to the player. It's used in software development and movies as well, but nowhere near as often as we do in games, allegedly. The "Shipping" phase really is all about the final steps like...

    Pizza vs Noodles

    They both want to kill me, so neither. Assuming I can have either in gluten free version? Hmm. I love myself a good Chicken Ceasar pizza from the Hut, but some carbonara from a proper italian chef is hard to beat. I'd say: Pasta wins if I want to have a fancy supper with someone, like a date...

    Are you me? The first console was because I spent my own money, to get a Genesis with Sonic, because all we had was computers until then xD

    King's Quest, Space Quest and Quest for Glory (rip Hero Quest) were great. Did you also play the The Incredible Machine line? :)

    Need help! How to write good quality stories faster

    One of the best tip is "write it bad". You can edit and fix bad You can't do anything with an empty document. You don't know how to perfectly word something? Just write stuff. "She is standing in a curving street and can't see far. She hears noise coming from ahead, and gets worried." You...

    I need an advice.

    I wouldn't mention anything, unless you have a fish-out-of-water character who can the rude or clueless one who asks and servers as the reader's proxy. But honestly, as an autistic neurodivergent person myself? I swear, I should start to do it more often.

    What did you learn today?

    This is gold. I love this twist on the trolley problem. I also love the fact that the survivor would hate you, because you TRIED to sacrifice him to save the others, and failed. And now he's alive. And aware you tried to kill him. So you lost the many. And the one? The one now hates you. It's...

    Does anyone else also hate how reincarnation is often handled?

    Absolutely right. I've been shows or read stories where it was actually funny how the MC had no idea who the family they just stepped into was, and didn't really feel like learning to know them or who they used to be. They just suddenly became someone else. (and most shows seem totally okay with...

    Why did you create your stories? And what motivates you to continue?

    I wonder if they just meant "Bishounen" -- the Long-hair pretty boys you see in a lot of games or anime. Often beautiful enough that men fall in love with them. Ex. Emperor Hotohori in Fushigi Yuugi definitely fits the bill.

    Do you guys like when a story tells you the end from the get-go?

    I don't mind spoilers, if the book title steals the punch of the series (most won't notice until after they are done reading), if the back of book blurp reveals who the murderer is, if a time traveler or diviner tells someone the future. Because I don't care where a story takes me. I care how...

    How to not write a tragedy?

    Technically, all I want to write are stories where good triumphs, that shows how hope and optimism should be held on to. It doesn't prevent me from taking some deep, dark turns into some of most tragic, existential dread I have ever read. Because I think that makes the victory and ending feel...
