    The Second Tempest Contest

    With all of these questions about what is or is not mainstream has me believing that was the not the best choice of a description for the theme (but it beats me on what would've been the correct choice of words). Right now I believe we may require a list of approved weapons to be more closely...

    Is explaining too much a bad thing?

    Isn't info dumping what the glossary function is for?

    Writing Plus1's tips to get on Trending

    Not just here, advertise everywhere that is convenient for more potential readers. Tony (SH's owner) props up at least three covers from here on Novel Updates.

    What time are you the most creative?

    Oh, yes, I am fully aware of what may happen to me if I fall asleep with those thoughts in my head. I sometimes get jolted awake because I figure out that this nightmare is too similar to an idea I had. Even when I wake up, it doesn't shake the fear out of me unless I devote my renewed...

    What time are you the most creative?

    Night time because of the silence and darkness. My imagination kicks into overdrive when I start getting sleepy and my fantasies cause me to wonder what's hiding in under the covers making all that racket. It's enough to get me popping out of bed and stay awake until the sun can watch over my...

    The Second Tempest Contest

    Whenever I hear of unconventional or non-mainstream weapons, I think of somebody improvising with what they have available around them. It's like a bar fighter using stools, mugs, and the bar counter itself to smash those who are not smashed enough. :blob_thor:

    Writing Prompt Insanity and Mental Illness

    Why does this sound like my life? I never heard any voices, but those impulses are real. They are things I always question on how or why they're popping off in me as if I'm craving do commit uncharacteristic behavior. I have no reason for or, hell, sane explanation why I'd mull over these...

    What makes you give a story a 1-star rating?

    I hate to say this, but there was a recent time I, and many others, wanted to boot somebody off of a website. This person, on that other website, had uploaded content (some original, some not) that was designed to be offensive towards the theme of the website and the variety of readers this...

    Strong Love Interest

    Thank you for pointing this feature out. Yes, I would never have discovered this on my own because I don't regularly search for stories by their tags.

    Strong Love Interest

    Either I'm being blind (not a surprise if true) or we should have definitions apparent on this website. I'm not positive if I've requested or mentioned this before, but it would be nice to have an easily accessible dictionary on each of these tags. I've heard we could discover their meanings on...

    Characters are used to represent different aspects of the same thing

    Thank you for the correction. Although I still believe that "to make them shine brighter" still resembles my definition on making something whole fuller or more than. That is just a belief of mine. :blob_hide:

    Characters are used to represent different aspects of the same thing

    Etymology origin of "foil" comes from the Latin word "fuilo" which means "fuller". I get the impression that means, when we are on about any subject (such as our story characters or plots), foil was initially spoken as a term meaning "to represent more of a whole". That, in my belief, defines...

    Perfectionism ruined me.

    That is half of what I got from Ops post. I still stand towards throwing out any notion of making everybody happy with the story. There are going to be readers who won't like it. They have different tastes and want to consume whatever is to their liking. We cannot be perfect because of this...

    The Last to Comment Wins

    Is telling everyone you've searched for the Bible in a Rule34 site the equivalent to yelling in church "Wrong hole!" when you discover Jesus inside you?

    Why so few female-to-male gender benders?

    That is a tug-o-war between transfiction and transfetish writers.

    Why so few female-to-male gender benders?

    FtM... Let me start by saying that transmasculine writers have it rough trying to get any kind of immersion with other transgender writers. You ever try to speak in a voice they'd understand? They don't get it. A world has shone a myriad of colors over their life and that is the only spectrum...

    Perfectionism ruined me.

    You don't want everybody to like it. There are some real damn sickos out there that can only feel happy when somebody else's life is ruined. You don't want to support them by creating content like to see.

    What would you do if you could get a second chance to start something all over again?

    My fate is inevitable, but damn anyone who is going to stop me from prolonging it. Yeah, I'm selfish. I get one life and that is absolutely it. With that being said, I would have done anything to keep my family longer and it was possible. Not an "if" here. It was possible. It had been possible...

    What would you do if you could get a second chance to start something all over again?

    I'd warn my family of what killed them. Maybe they'd live longer if they were aware of what to look at and why. And also have those doctors that knew what the fuck they were dealing, finally, help us a lot sooner.

    I'm alive and I'd like to say that I'm over it, but there are lingering symptoms that I'd like to go away. I've been told that I'll have the virus in me for another two months, but I have been permitted to leave quarantine since last week. I guess that means I'm not contagious anymore?
