I'm getting to a point in my story where I'll have to start worrying about power creep sneaking in and ruining everything. Any tips?

For pantsers only

With so much out there about the "hidden meanings" in X or Y, I've started to wonder: Are there really so many hidden meanings in shows, series, and literary works, or are people just reading too much into them? I'd like to hear your opinions :blob_sir:

What's the most childish insult you've ever heard, with the context(or not)? So, I was on the gd Discord server the other day talking about a popular but terrible level gameplay-wise. Because of the awful experience I had with the level, I was advising against playing it when someone disagreed...

So, in my relatively short writing career(if I can call it that), I've had these moments when I'd catch myself writing a character inconsistently. I'd quickly correct those instances whenever they happened, but this one takes the cake. It's an oversimplification, but it was a scene about a bad...

What do you consider to be a Cardinal Writing Sin, something you can do as an author that would immediately(or gradually) ruin a good story or devolve a mediocre story at best into absolute garbage? I'm Kureous to hear your opinions :meowsip:

Now, I've seen some people with hundreds of books on their reading lists. For me, 5 books already feels like a LOT, so I don't understand how some people can do 20 or more. You'd have to remember characters, details about the world, abilities, and plot points. How can anyone follow so many...

How do y'all deal with them?

What do you consider to be a bad ending?

What's the most absurd online course that no one or very few people would want to buy? It can be the most random, useless skill out there, and you can be as creative as you want with this. I'll go first: "Spend $5000 to join my Procrastination Masterclass TODAY!" :blob_sir:

I don't dream very often, but when I do, they are usually super weird, which prompted me to ask last time whether dreams had any inherent meaning. Today, I had another dream that I'd like to share with y'all. The best interpretation will win 5 cookies. It goes something like this: In this one...

I don't typically do this, but I feel like ranting about something I've seen happen so many times. I'm currently watching Bleach, and I loved Orihime's character at the very beginning. I love the idea of an orphan who lost her only family(her brother in an accident) and who could still move past...

Which do you prefer and why?

Post your favorite line or lines(however many you want) from any song of your choice. Feel free also to add the artist and song name if you want. I'll go first: "My rear view's a little planet earth, and my calendar is straight doomsdays." Play Dead by Aesop Rock

Got em! Happy April Fools! But really tho, who will take the crown?

So, I just finished watching Kung Fu Panda 4, and I'll succinctly try to summarize my thoughts, starting with the negatives. The pacing was awful, I'll give the critics that. I really did feel like things were moving too fast at certain points, and this detracted from the impact some of the...

We drink water to quench our thirst, but that also means that we quench our thirst by drinking water. What are some profound philosophical truths you have stumbled upon recently?

I dunno why this randomly occurred to me, but what would an interaction between a billionaire and a magician look like? And I'm not talking about the trick guys. I'm talking about the reality-altering, physics-bending, true blue magicians. It seems like it'd be fun to write.

Anytime I try to rate anything, I always get this VPN detected message, even though I'm not using a VPN. What could be the problem?
