There's a time and place for both. Action scenes you want fast with little distraction. Where as slice of life scenes can waffle on. An example of what not to do is The Spearman and The Black Cat. The author will stretch out a 1 chapter fight into 3 - 5 chapters because boobs or cat or...

Either as it depends on the situation. Past tense is the norm as most story telling is based on past events and being third person. But the norm actively hinders some genres such as mystery and horror imo. To me a present tense first person perspective can aid the tension of those genres...

For real tho. I like having real buttons over screen fake buttons. I got big hands and often click multiple or wrong buttons on my phone. So at least calculators have that goin for them.

IIRC in D&D the magic circles are based on the body's magic capacity as well as intelligence to hold a spell. The higher tiers cost more mana as well as having increasing complexity. Note: this depends entirely on the edition. The D&D I played didn't have permanent spells. The wizard had to...

Kinda tried of magical girl stories being either dark or cute. I think I would go for a retired magical girl story. A slice of life story of a woman dealing with things a battle hardened ex soldier would deal with. Survivors guilt, PTSD, loss of comrades, and just trying to deal with normies who...

The less outward support you need, the less you will be targeted for those resources. The modern trope of cultivation stories are often about resource wars and artificial exterior boosts instead of internal growth and enlightenment. Which is a real shame as old school immortals weren't about...

I think it's because RR is older and some authors have gotten very good over the years. Which created a more seasoned bias among the readers. What started with mostly highschool and uni kids writing has readers who've seen through their graduations and getting jobs and what not. Like Andur and...

After having three years of art class I'm 17, it's 1998, I show my childhood friend of ten years a drawing of an anime styled girl. I get laughed at so hard, that I haven't seriously tried art or was interested in keeping in touch after moving away ever since. Them teen hormones really hit...

I immediately lock up, and my brain shuts down. Mainly when yelled at. Pretty sure it's a conditioned response from when I was a kid. Shut up, be still, and look at me was heard alot as a kid. Never did get over it. Even got a panic attack once during my time as tech support. It bled into my...

Dunno about others, but I got a few dozen different stories bookmarked. I just pull up the chapter to check for the newest update based on the history of past releases. So a writer that releases every other day, has me checking every other day, even if they haven't released in two weeks. Pretty...

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time 1965 novel. Made into an anime in 2006. It was pretty good imo. Hate to spoil anything tho. So I agree that you should check it out.

Suzumiya Haruhi "Endless Eight" arc. So boring it killed any chance of a sequel.

Sweet. Sour is painfully strong to me. Imagine licking a lemon in strength, but it really pickles. PS: Wait, you're not talking about food... Eh... Ah, still works for my taste in writing. But really you should do you. There's never going to be a time someone isn't hating your existence, so...

Took me and several neighbors ten years to kill of our kudzu. Shitty housing developer thought it'd look better than an oak forest.

To me, suicide is the option to go to for when you have nothing but suffering left. And I'm not talking standard "normal" life suffering. I'm talking "every moment of existence is pain" levels of suffering. Some call it cowardly. I say, you bought into the social engineering soup too much. The...

Right, wrong, correct, or incorrect, everything is only ever what you think it is.

Nah, different people are different with different views and different values. No one in the world is liked by everyone.

Born in southern USA. It's gotta be sweet iced tea. As an adult I have went beyond that, but still tea. Green, jasmine, and black are the three main teas I drink.

Mate, shit smeared walls. And used tampons on sinks. That's what I remember of the service industry.

Evil, to me, is purposely harming others for your own desires. Yes that means CEOs paying people so little that four people have to share a single room apartment and charging them lunch at the company cafeteria while paying yourself $200 mill bonus because of record breaking profit. *Cough*...
