    Readers who declare that they're dropping the series they're reading

    I think it depends a lot on the situation. I've had stories where I've considered leaving a note because the story itself was great, just not what I prefer, and I know authors can feel worried over dropping viewer count. In cases like that, I believe there is value in bringing up that you are...

    The frustration!!

    As others have mentioned, I recommend using a local program to write instead of directly online. What if you don't screw anything up, but some idiot runs into a power line and the power goes out? What if there is a storm? All kinds of things can go wrong, so do it local instead, and make a...

    Schizo knowledge part 4: Astral Projection

    Few things I forgot to mention -- it is possible to do 'partial projection' and maintain awareness of both physical and astral at the same time, though that is quite tricky at first, and controlling more than one body at the same time can be difficult. Sensory overload can also be a potential...

    Schizo knowledge part 4: Astral Projection

    Personally I consider this to be somewhat of an issue, as there are some things that can cause harm if you just stumble into them. If anyone is interested, I will go into detail later, but for now the basics: don't mess with higher powers, don't try to destroy things you did not create...

    GameLits and Guns

    My personal answer to this would be to have a combination of systems working together. Dodging bullets is possible, but only if you have incredibly high reflexes (ability to move), intelligence (mental processing speed), perception (spot the threat), and good enough...

    Writing Can't think of anything

    I suck at actually getting the writing done, but ideas are easy for me. Take a list of things you like, find interesting, or hate. Pick one or more of them, build a generic world, arrange things focused on what you picked, watch what happens. A big part of it is trying to understand how...

    [18+] Schizo knowledge part 3: Lilith, Samael and Succubi

    That would be correct, though personally I don't recommend it. There are spirits who don't mind that, however, and even seek it out. There is power to being connected to the physical, for reasons I don't feel like getting into at the moment, and there are many beings that seek that out...

    [18+] Schizo knowledge part 3: Lilith, Samael and Succubi

    Eh, normally I keep quiet about these sorts of things, but atm I don't care. Mage here, been working with these kinds of things for well over a decade, though through an unusual path based more on experience than building on prior accounts. Can confirm. Fae are utterly horrifying. You don't...
