    Can't decide between two common tropes

    If you choose to go for option #2, consider the following: Dies -> meets God -> reincarnated as a baby, but with an immediate time skip to adult life. That way you don't need to bother with the fusing memories thing. (To me, this would feel more natural that some fusing of memories, but idk if...

    Some tropes that I am uncomfortable reading

    Hmmm. Maybe time travel? I feel like it's possible to do well but most authors fail to actually pull it off properly. For example, a lot of the time authors pull out stuff like "alternate reality" and "this 'you' isn't that 'you'." when using time travel. I think this concept could be cool...

    This junior seeks a punishment for his terrible wordsmithing!

    I think your paragraph lengths were fine. If I had to nitpick, you probably had a few too many one-sentence paragraphs. You're right in saying that short paragraphs are impactful, but too many of them cause a loss in impact, if that makes sense.

    This junior seeks a punishment for his terrible wordsmithing!

    I didn't notice any spelling mistakes or grammer, so you can write English properly. That's always a good start. It's too early to really state anything about the story as a whole, though.

    Trolley problem. Just that.

    Thats correct, x' = A w cos(wt), so you can substitute that in to get 5 = A w, and solve for the amplitude of the motion. That would give you how far the spring compresses, but it's not necessary if you just want to work out the time taken for the motion.

    Trolley problem. Just that.

    To find the time taken for contact with the spring: m a = - k e 4 x 10^6 x" = -100,000 x x " = - x / 40 x = A * sin( wt) + A * cos(wt) , w = sqrt(1/40) x(0) = 0, so x = A sin(wt) The time in contact with the spring is half an oscillation, so wt = pi (velocity here doesn't actually matter...

    What Is Your Type?

    Chibi style is nice. Obviously this wouldn't work for all genres of story but that's just the story's fault for being the wrong genre.

    Do games have to be fun?

    I'm not a fan of overcomplicating a simple matter. I'm even less a fan of overcomplicating a complicated matter. If the word "fun" can work to define all types of enjoyment that we get from all different types of games, then let it. Sure, we can use the term "engaging" if we want to emphasise a...

    Pizza vs Noodles

    I never thought there'd be a poll so difficult. I think though if I could only choose to have one and never have the other again, I'd have to choose pizza. There are a lot of different types of pastas, so losing noodles wouldn't feel as much of a loss as losing pizzas.

    Is everyone a moron?

    This is true. This is false.

    Karmaa is a bridge!

    I sometimes do this to see what comes up if I search my novel. The results? Other novels with similar names to mine appear. Mine doesn't appear. At all. :blob_teary:

    That's what all the other deleted members in this thread said.

    Why not make this, poll for which you like more

    I like the idea of throwing a pokeball and having my butler Sebastian appear in a flash of red light. When emerging from the pokeball, he would greet me with his usual "Your orders, sir?" When I order him to use tackle attack, he would respond with "Very well, sir."

    Isn't it just because women are property and desire to be treated like such?

    What's your opinion on making up new words?

    So what you're saying is, if all of us use "offeringly" in our next chapter, we can deem it an actual word?

    What's your opinion on making up new words?

    If I were reading it, I wouldn't bat an eyelid at "offeringly". The problem is, if some linguist expert comes along and gives a reason why "offeringly" isn't a word, then RIP you I guess. In that thought I guess I'd try to avoid it if possible, just in case. Oh man, If you told me offeringly...

    Authors, please, recommend me your story!

    Well, since you insist. I have a small, unfinished story thats currently 40k words long. It's a comedy about a guy being pestered by a system that wants him to become a supervillian. The story is meant to be suitable for all ages, so I focus mostly on humor. Here it is if you want to give it...

    I'm My Own Biggest Fan!

    Sometimes I look back at the chapters I've previously written to remind myself what I've written and what I need to write next. Sometimes I'll see a joke I wrote in and I just start smiling.
