    Is writing a 'science' or 'art'

    Hmm, I still think that's the way that humans have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Consider, for example, the the medieval farmer who goes to their local wiseman for advice on how to grow crops. The wiseman says that you shouldn't pour acid on crops (because that's stupid) and to bury...

    Is writing a 'science' or 'art'

    I don't really consider N=1 studies to be science. At least in our field, we call it a case report.

    Is writing a 'science' or 'art'

    I don't really feel that popular writing fits in the category of 'science'. Armchair science, maybe, but definitely not hypothesis-driven science. I don't see authors or writers organizing research to study how they should write. At best, it is composed of trial-and-error from individuals and...

    Do you speak with 'the Writers Spirit's or with your personal spirit?

    I think there's a disconnect here between what it takes to write something 'successful' and something that you think is 'meaningful'. For the latter, you can generally do whatever you want. For the former, if you're a professional, there's a relatively limited scope and style of material that...

    Is writing a 'science' or 'art'

    I would say that it's an art, but like many forms of art, there are rules. For example, if you were making music, there is a mathematical relationship between the frequencies of notes that many people would call pleasant. There is certainly a science to those ratios, and and if you deviate too...

    Would you drink a love potion?

    Would you answer be different if it wasn't a prince/princess? Like if they were a farmer or a random miller? Or is your objection moreso towards having the authenticity of your feelings manipulated?

    Would you drink a love potion?

    A magical girl of love and possibly also some lust transmigrates you to another world. After doing this, she explains there is a prince/princess whom she would want you to marry tomorrow as it is the very specific day that the stars in the galaxy align and it is the only day the marriage can...

    So I'm feeling a story like K-ON but actually all of the characters are boys roleplaying as girls roleplaying yuri but actually it's kind of BL. Where can I find something like this?

    Can you fix him/her?

    I think I remember you saying that you have never liked anyone or had a crush (?) Out of curiosity, what do you think it would take for you to like someone?

    Thread For Weirdos.

    I think that sexuality is probably a combination of biology and socialization, so if biology is the different but you retain your memories from your past life, I don't think it would be strange if urges are different.

    Can you fix him/her?

    A broad, open-ended hypothetical question. At what point is a significant other too far off the deep end that they can't be 'fixed'? What can or can't be fixed? What if your significant other is sad or depressed or going through other issues? What if they are going through substance abuse /...
