    What motto sounds the best for a system of weaponized stars?

    unsure about posting my writing

    Post it, and then run away for a month. If nobody says anything, that means either nobody reads it or it's not as bad as your worries are. If someone say something, take a deep breath, click it and see what that person says. Take a deep breath, release. If at any point your cheeks feel hot, stop...

    Writing Prompt I don't have to explain shit

    Have a look at this meme. Here is your task. Write a very short story between 20 to 200 words. It can be any story, but it must end with "I don't have to explain shit." or any of its variations such as "I ain't gotta explain shit." Ai-chan's example: He is aware that there is something...

    I seriously consider buying a tablet for writing

    Ai-chan uses Samsung Tablet. Don't know if it's sold in your country, but it was the cheapest Samsung Tab S6 Lite. It's basically the poor girl's Tab S6. Ai-chan bought it when it just came out, so it came with the Targus keyboard free of charge. The keyboard is not necessary, though. Ai-chan...

    Sirens and Satyrs and Sex, oh my!

    Ai-chan hasn't read your story, so this is just Ai-chan's 2-cents. If the setting is Ancient Greece, then homosexuality wouldn't be anything strange. In those days, homosexuality wasn't really anything bad. It only became bad when Jesus came into the picture. The Jewish tradition of Sodom and...

    Life at a Japanese school AMA

    It's usually kind of natural progression thing. You got one guy who said he saw a ghost in the science lab. And then another guy said he saw the human anatomy model move. And then another guy said he couldn't breathe while in the science room. And boom, you got a ghost who at some point in the...

    Hide series as author?

    Ask @Tony or any of the moderators to unpublish your story. Just don't accidentally publish it next time. Keep it in draft if you don't want to publish and also add a notice in the synopsis of the story. Something like, "Please do not approve for publishing. If it's marked as published, I made a...

    I just learned about this in Ibis Paint

    While this is a great feature, you guys should learn anatomy the old-fashion way. Through touch. A lot of touching.

    I like this genre . . . but I can't write it!

    Horror genre is very heavy on descriptions. It's a hard first attempt as you could easily fall into the trap of overdescripting, which makes the story a chore to read. You can also fall into the trap of underdescripting, where your composition is not scary at all. A tip is to set the scene as...

    Sticky threads for certain topics

    Aoi-chan doesn't think any of those should be stickied. After all, what's stopping others from requesting their own threads to be stickied? There are only 21 threads in one page. If all of these are in the same section, then that means there would be only 18 threads on that page is left. If we...

    Life at a Japanese school AMA

    Yes, the Japanese education system pretty much believes in keeping the students productive. Since they believe that students who have too much free time on their hands will do not so nice things.

    For those who use Patreon, be careful of this (obvious) loophole

    Thanks for the heads up. Ai-chan closed patreon because Ai-chan posts so infrequently, but will consider this if or when Ai-chan reopens patreon one day.

    Life at a Japanese school AMA

    After school hours, there are several choices: 1. Go home 2. Go shopping/karaoke/eat/play football with friends 3. Go to clubs 4. Go to extra classes at the cram school Popular trends shift monthly, depending on what the trendsetters decide, so it's hard to say. The Japanese are very sensitive...

    Life at a Japanese school AMA

    Joint classes do happen, particularly at overcrowded school or poorer schools. However, from what Ai-chan heard, in some places only physical education classes have student from different years being in the same class, particularly when they have the same physical education classes at the same...

    How do I write a good summsdy

    Write a good summsdy. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Sorry, Ai-chan had to stop laughing before Ai-chan can reply. Anyway, for summary, you need the following: 1. Who are we talking about? 2. What story are we talking about? 3. Why would the reader care? 4. How would you hook readers? If your summary...
