    What is the worst cereal?

    I've always wondered why yoghurt is a thing. It's basically spoiled milk. But going back to cereal, I really dislike anything that's "fruit" flavoured.

    What did you learn today?

    Based on this thread, it seems that this site has plenty of penguin members. Or maybe they're krill.

    Does anyone like epic fantasy?

    I love the aesthetics of epic fantasies, but I don't always like reading them. I really dislike having to keep up with hundreds of characters and factions and made up terminology, and large-scale conflicts don't interest me unless the actual main characters are central to it, and have personal...

    Saddest OSTs

    While I think the story and dialogue leaves much to be desired, Jigoku Shoujo otherwise has some of the most moving soundtracks.

    Writing Prompt Envy's Poem Thread

    Well, it's August somehow. Wrote this ode to my birthday month earlier this year. When I was younger, I have often wondered Why is the eighth month not called October? Was geometry wrong When it named the octagon, Or was this a mistake wrought by the calendar? 'Augustus' seemed such an ugly...

    A tender stalk stood by the lane They say this plant can never wane Afar, it seemed a meager weed Apart from its collar, which bleeds Red blossoms, themselves wanting charm Yet, its tassel's seeds resist harm The amaranth's unfading bloom A shining hope against dark gloom

    What do you favor most in attack?

    This is my go-to strategy as well. Button mashing favours speed (probably).

    Huh. Is this why there's a joke that a lot of Americans think the US map is the world map?

    What did you learn today?

    I was told that Tennessee has places like Antioch, Memphis, Carthage, Lebanon, Paris and Milan. So it seems you can travel around the world in that State.

    This is not good. Really not good.

    Further, even if AI can provide accurate psych eval, I don't think you should use the actions/behaviour you did while roleplaying as the basis of that evaluation.

    What are your most unhinged writing, reading, & publishing tricks?

    Yeah, I'm aware of the site's Buffy roots. I've been around that site since the original founder (FastEddie) was still active. And one of my favourite aspects on that site is the PlayingWith/ pages. You take a trope and build mini-narratives around it to see how the same idea can play out in...

    What are your most unhinged writing, reading, & publishing tricks?

    When I draft out story & character ideas, I like to write a pseudo TVTropes page about it. And if I ever manage to get it off the drafting phase, having a trope page about it might work as advertising, maybe.

    title should be self-explanatory. When reading a web novel series, how long do you expect the chapter/story to be?

    What is your favourite fantasy race/creature?

    I also prefer low-fantasy settings where it's mostly humans and maybe some magical beasts, because I think having too many "fantasy races" risks either flattening each race into quirks/stereotypes or turning them into basically a human with slightly different cosmetic. I like developing...

    How often do you use the thesaurus?

    This comment reminds me me of this limerick I recently came across: Almost wished I wrote this hilarious piece myself. Anyway, I do use thesaurus a lot since I mostly write poetry.
