    What do you think about a mother protagonist in the fantasy world?

    1- there are too few mother protagonists in fantasy, but its even worse in science fiction. 2- I really love parent protagonists, especially single parent protagonists, regardless of if they are on team pink, blue, or plaid. 3- I blame lingering trends from publishing companies preferences...

    Confused about book cover criteria.

    I am convinced this cover also would be flagged by scribblehubnannybot. But personally I would also probably reject the top cover; if the shirt is see through it counts as showing skin instead of clothing, and her right nipple is creasing the fabric. I don't know about the second image though...

    What did you learn today?

    Today in chemistry we learned how to derive the ideal gas laws using statistical analysis by starting from the kinetic energy of individual gas molecules in a monoatomic ideal gas. In physics we learned the two principles of operational amplifiers: the inputs have zero current, and the output...

    A thread to my friends.

    Has scribblehub changed that much? I'm know I'm not especially active on the forums, but it doesn't seem that different to me. I guess if your friends move on you will naturally neither remain. Well then, we all wish you luck in your endeavors, RepresentingWrath. And remember to balance your...

    Style confirmation

    Are you a bot diqllo? Something about your writing feels inorganic. There are some oddities with punctuation, spaces, and capitalization. "Dr.Gloubi" is unusual, very few humans omit the space between the honorific and the name, and there is a mismatch where is done only as a script header but...

    My story has no particular end-goal, I just wish to write/draw pure chaos. Do you mind that as a reader?

    Chaos as a plot descriptor is author code for "I can't write plot. So I will focus on character development and maybe comedy or action." I don't mind. For me, I rank characters>world building>humor>most else>plot. If you have a likeable character or two at the center of that churning maelstrom...

    You were sent to another world with a supernatural power?

    I am so out of there. Alchemy is the ultimate hermit mode cheat. I'll make a helmet or a scarf that decomposes water into oxygen and hydrogen then go dig out a deep seafloor cave home for myself by turning rock into silicon and oxygen. Next constantly poison all the water so seamonsters know to...

    Spring Classes

    So it looks like people really want me to take the Tuesday Thursday schedule instead of the Monday Wednesday Friday schedule, with 7/7 voting TR. While I suspect voters kind of missed the point of the multiple boxes, considering the average score across each category should be near 50% for a...

    Recommendations Competitive... Studying?

    As a math major in college, I feel strange that the special deadly techniques are something I learned back in highschool. Not that I expect a lot of people to bust out tensor calculus or Fourier series, but... Anyway, philosophers throughout the ages have always been pretty competitive. Maybe...

    Which type of antagonist do you prefer: the moral antagonist or the villain antagonist?

    If I have to choose, I would say I prefer villainous antagonists. But I care more about their motivation than their moral alignment. My favorite two antagonists were the boss from the movie "9 to 5" (forget his name), and Noise from the anime "Suite Precure." The boss was an ungrateful jerk to...

    As a reader, what does a good synopsis look like?

    This a personal preference, and may or not be good general advice, but I do not find synopsis that consist of 'in universe character opinions' to be helpful at all. There are some readers (maybe a lot?) who do like an in universe description of the MC or some plot points from a mob's pov...

    Spring Classes

    There is a philosophe class, a sociology class, and an English class in there too. Overall, I think I usually take a fairly balanced spread of classes between liberal arts and sciences. I haven't taken any engineering [ESC] classes yet, but I've advanced a fair amount in physics. Also, most...

    What is your favourite season?

    I like autumn best. Summers where I live are typically somewhat hot but fairly long (highs near 30°C for three months), and despite the lack of rain the air is usually very humid. We can go two weeks with clear skies but the dewpoint won't drop below 20°C the whole time. But in the middle of...

    Spring Classes

    There is nothing that is not an elective. I am not in a degree program; College is a hobby!

    Play devil's advocate for tropes you like.

    Black Rain: Nothing says the end of the world like roiling clouds of malevolent darkness covering the sky to unleash an ink black rainstorm of possibly poisonous/cursed/radioactive precipitation. This trope is based on real life; the fallout from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were accompanied...

    Spring Classes

    I am having some (a lot) decision paralysis over which classes to take next semester. Monday Wednesday Friday classes also include 'intro to sociology [SOC 101]'. Tuesday Thursday classes also include 'Machines and Consciousness [PHL 450]'. Comparative Programming languages[CIS 524] has two...

    Recommendations Looking for some introverts

    Its more on the mature side (and HEAVY on fanservice), but 'No Game No Life' (Jnovel with both manga and anime adaptations) has a pair of shut-in brother and sister that get punted into a world ruled by games. Its about as introverted a protagonist pair as is ever possible. If they are ever...

    Lf a novel where the Mc is quiet and absolutely overpowered at the start, like yogiri but way more overpowered

    Kids these days. What use is an acronym if spells out several different phrases that are all contextually suitable?

    Lf a novel where the Mc is quiet and absolutely overpowered at the start, like yogiri but way more overpowered

    Lf... That means low fantasy/modern fantasy? Modern fantasy, overpowered protagonist, slice of life tendencies... That seems like a fairly uncommon combination. I suppose that would be why you are looking for recs. I could recommend a lot of stories that are any two of those, but here are a few...
