    Just recently got a refsheet for the Lyudmilla, the character introduced in my short story. Looks sick, super hyped.

    I've heard some people use "special with a capital R" before. Not so sure that's better or worse.

    I see. So no novelty soda stores close enough? I could yap for hours about brands I get from them. Fentiman's, Reading Draft, Johnnie Ryan, Virgil's, etc.

    You talkin' one of the major brands or just any soda in general? As the resident Soda Jerk and someone who used to run a soda review blog, I can possibly point you towards more specialty brands that aren't so filled with sweeteners like the major brands do.

    Well dang, there goes another thing I was enjoying but have to drop. Except this time it's because the story disappeared. Guess it got deleted.

    'Plan to read' implications

    Pretty much exactly what CinnaSloth said applies for me, too. If I've put it on my "Gonna Check Out" list, it means exactly what it says on the tin. If I have the time to read and am both not distracted by other things and caught up on what stories I've already started, I'll grab one from there...

    I was maybe a couple hours in? Could be worse, but that's still 2 hours. Even if I was in the mood to start something else, it's getting late. But tomorrow's another day and I have a memory like a colander, so it should be okay if I get to sleep tonight.

    Love just happily reading something I'm enjoying and then suddenly getting hit with that "immediately drop this" scene that just tanks my mood. That's an extra special feeling.

    Recommendations Recs for a Squeamish Reader?

    I see. Yeah, that's fair. That's pretty much one of the bigger issues I have with fanfic, that they often rely on that knowledge. Good on you for doing that! With the issues I tend to have, I've learned to pay attention to every tag, warning, etc. that I can. I've got doesthedogdie.com...

    Yeah, that might do. Definitely putting that on my list to check out soon.

    Recommendations Recs for a Squeamish Reader?

    I took a look. For the former, I guess I did forget to mention I don't really do fanfic either, especially if it's of an IP I'm not familiar with. Might at least give it a shot anyway. As for the latter, you do have it labeled as having gore, which is already concerning. I apologize if all this...

    Ah, I know this feeling quite well. "Depression & Anxiety Land" sounds like the world's worst theme park.

    Recommendations Recs for a Squeamish Reader?

    Hey ya'll! I'm looking for some recommendations, as the title implies. The problem with finding new reads on my own is that I have trouble getting through a lot of stuff. I love action and adventures, whether fantasy or sci-fi (I prefer the latter, if I had to choose one), but so many get kinda...

    Normally, when I consider joining my mom at the family vacation home, it's because I can sometimes get more writing done with a change of scenery. Unfortunately, I forgot that my laptop's keyboard is all wonky and often does double inputs, making writing too frustrating to really be worth it.

    What story/series/movie inspired you to write?

    As much as I loathe to credit the man now, I'd be lying is Niel Gaiman's Interworld didn't almost single-handedly get me into writing because I enjoyed the multiverse aspect so much that it started my journey into forum RP and eventually to writing. Sure, I read plenty as a kid, but that one...

    Do people post short stories here as well? Or is it only long format stories?

    I've been trying to post short stories ("trying" being the keyword, since I need to actually finish them before I can post them). Some advice I've gotten is that if there are multiple short stories that are connected, like if they take place in the same world, you can make it something like an...
