Sooo... watching a show where one of the magical girls said the toy is sus. It surprised me to hear the popularized contraction. Perhaps the translators of the dub are taking liberties (which I don't mind cause it was kinda funny), but I didn't think that such a 'this-half-of-the-decade' phrase...

So… I never saw the “Brat! ??????“ until Scribble Hub. I always thought it was a reference to some tsundere-type deal. Repeated enough, it was just some funny anime reference. Since RepresentingEnvy used it, that gave it the sticker of approval for being a safe joke/reference in my mind. A bunch...

Eventually, hopefully, I’ll transition from grimdark to include more comedy. But after one reader commented that one of my more surrealist chapters didn’t fit with the tone of the rest of my story (according to them, my story is normally more cosmic horror with the sensation of drowning while...

I'm curious, from a purely logical writing standpoint, thinking of all of the cut and dry rules you remember from English classes, how would you go about writing something - not small or short - where the point of it is portray the extremis of gore, violence, and squicky matters in fine detail...

What are some things you would strongly recommend never doing in a synopsis? For me, it's starting with "A [Insert "man", "woman", "enby", whatever] with the power to...". Don't do it. It's how I know the story is trash. Not even redeemable trash or trash for trash's sake. It's just bad...

SpaceBattles fanfic section has some harsh readers...:sweating_profusely: If you aren't careful, you get roasted. And even then, the comments one gets can make you feel a little toasty... as in toasted, with no butter.:sweat_smile: I know I've been lucky on Scribble Hub and Royal Road. I'm...

For the narcissistic, arrogant, and quote-unquote “objectively perfect”, this question is not for you! For the subjectivist, adhering to the philosophy in truth or to troll, this question is equally not for you! For the flawed readers not ruled out by the above, I ask: “What trope do you...

Minions, I wish to see unique mental influence powers! Any novel ones that stand out to in TV shows or books? Great creepypasta or SCP mind-fuckery? Good ones in that noggin of yours? This puppet desires them all! P.S. changing a power's aesthetic, lore, and thought-provoking limitations makes...

So... I'm writing a story and the MC, named River, is a socially stunted once-extrovert now-introvert by way of depression. Her mom didn't really let her do any "normal" teen activities. River's got a friend/is the adopted sibling of her friend, Riley. who feels as if her father and extended...

I'm curious as to what are the limits of your understanding for others. How much can you sympathize with someone who has caused carnage through no fault of their own? In fiction, there are many stories of unwilling accessories to murder. Apparently, in law in the U.S.A., if you are forced to...

What's your favorite angsty or grim trope? Where you enjoy the suffering of the character? They can be overarching tropes like a slapstick series of increasingly unfortunate events. Or personality tropes. An example being main characters that are genuinely suicidal. The classic, time-honored...

What's a traumatic event you could feasibly go through or have gone through? Don't tell me!:blob_shock: Just keep the event in mind.:blob_wink: Now, if you received a power that lets you prevent the traumatic event from happening again, but doesn't solve the root problem of the traumatic...

In writing, some of the most tragic characters to me are those who have lost memory, have difficulty remembering things, or those who have confronted people who have lost memory. Neville's parents (Harry Potter), Digital Circus (Kinger), Subaru (Re: Zero), etc. As someone who, without...

Hello, hello! I couldn't figure out whether this would be a writing prompt or community game, but with how unsuccessful my last community game was, I wouldn't want the thread's branding to not be on-point, so to speak. For a fanfic of mine, I thought it would be fun to roleplay one of the...

Lately I've been feeling like my inspirations for writing body horror have been mundane; rote. It's disappointing. I can write all I want about making incisions in one's stomach to unspool guts for a safety harness or cry ribbons of blood as you plummet to the unforgiving puce walls of flesh...

So, for a fanfic I'm writing, the MC doesn't swear. I can't think of what words to replace that kind of crass intensity and youthful expression of shock. Do you guys have examples? Edit: I think just deleting the swear word actually still works in the sentence I was thinking of (emotional...

Why did Aez_Nairo get banned? Why did they get the kebosh, the hammer, the 'entrance denied'? Or deleted. Not sure which was which.

So, I want to play DnD, but I've never played it before, and I don't know the kinds of digital places (if any exist) like Discord forums or something where they would be willing to play with complete and utter newbies. Not to mention, I was wondering if you guys had recommendations for YouTube...

If you were in the "worm" universe, you'd probably have parahuman powers! You're all traumatized lil beans, and it's time you admit it! @Count_Quackula @Simple_Russian_Boi @Hopper The trail of the comet creates a heat-like haze. Enough comets will obscure vision for everyone but yourself...

You have a rope. You have a harness for a rock. And you have a rock. You have the ability to push and/or pull on only the harness and the rope with your mind (we are assuming this rope and this harness are indestructible). Keep in mind... This stays in an environment where all other...
