Just curious what people's thoughts are on this.

So, I was just thinking, this could happen someday. If it does, what will your opinion on it be?

Do you feel it, deep within, bubbling up from the deepest recesses of your being, the... sanity? Do you hear the soft murmurs of... reason, whispering at the edges of your consciousness. Fine denizens of the scribble hub, are you sane?

I chose tuna fish. It might be dangerous, but it would be cool to roam the oceans.

The aliens have come, and they're willing to take anyone who wants to go to a new, undeveloped planet, which is like the Earth before humans, but there's a catch. You can only take with you what you can carry. Are you going?

So, I was reading a story where the MC was told he couldn't cultivate but was able to do so anyway, without any real explanation at all. Presumably, it's from having a strong will or something, but they didn't actually say that, or explain why his will would be especially strong. What are your...

I'm just curious how it is for most people.

Given that people have survived with half their brain, if half your brain was removed from your body with you surviving and it was successfully implanted in a clone body it then controls, which would be you? If further clarity is needed, the end result is two bodies, each being controlled by...

Task: Create a setting twenty years in the future suitable for writing a story. Mine: When artificial intelligence overtook humanity, everything seemed fine at first. Governments instituted UBI, and life went on. Little did most people know what was happening under the surface until one day...

Where would you pick if you could take a month-long vacation in one of the following in a safe manner using a clone body of your choice so you can look however you want, including like the locals, and because it's a clone body, you'll be fine even if you die on this vacation, or get sick, or...

Should everything we know about reality be valid in fantasy settings? For example, should everything be made from the same atoms on our periodic table, and should chemistry work the same way? Should Newtonian physics work the same way? Should the conservation laws, such as the law of...

Imagine a group of guys who all know each other get transported to another world with no one but them and they all get transformed into women. After many harrowing adventures together, they bond and decide to form a harem despite not being gay before this event. Would this be GL or BL? After...

So what’s your preference? I mostly read stories with male main characters, but not 100% that way.

There are many definitions for the term 'political', with some very broad ones including everything, but I don't like such broad definitions since a definition that includes everything means nothing. Basically such definitions are useless. I’d define political as this. Political: Issues...

I’m curious what makes a fight scene good for you? Do you love epic, chapter-long battles with every punch described, or quick, intense clashes? Are you into gritty swordfights, dazzling ‘magic’, or maybe a mix of both?

I'm just curious about what got people into reading and what kinds of things you've enjoyed reading before. I started reading in high school when someone bought me a book called Pawn of Prophecy. After that, I became interested in fantasy paperbacks and read about one a week for years. Mostly...

Hello all, I was just curious about the main thing that draws you to a story. Whether it’s escaping reality, cheering for a powerful MC, or diving into a rich world, we all read for different reasons. For me, I often like escapism, power fantasy, and some amount of the love stuff. What do you...

I once asked Grok the earliest recorded use of a magical fireball in fiction, to which it gave me Robert E. Howard's "The Scarlet Citadel," published in 1933. This story features the wizard Tsotha-lanti using a shimmering, explosive magical attack, interpreted as a fireball-like spell. If true...

There’s a lot of talk about AI stories, so I figured, why not add some more? So, is AI writing good?

It's a pretty common trope in fantasy to have multiple fictional universes be "real". For example, maybe in one story both Naruto and One Piece are real. Sometimes this is explained, sometimes not, but either way, I’m curious about what explanations are more popular and what people think about...
