    ?Calling All Pantsers! How DO You Actually Finish a Novel?

    I'm only a half-pantser. Once I get into a story and feel it starting to become too complicated, that's when I begin to write a very general timeline of what needs to come next. Not a whole detailed timeline, but a general timeline of story beats for the next 2-4 chapters. I don't like to get...

    Your Thoughts on Game Walkthroughs

    I watch a lot of game walkthroughs because my hands are so bad I can't hold a controller anymore, so I can't actually play a lot of the games. But I enjoy the games, especially if the person playing it is amusing. I CAN play games if they are keyboard based, just not controller-based ones...

    Things you know that you wish you didn't

    Hm, let me think.... 1. That sometimes corpses in the ocean bloat and decay, other times they are preserved, whole or in part by adipocere, aka "corpse wax". 2. That there is a reddit where authorities post tiny snippets out of CP, such as clothing, curtains, walls, etc. in the hopes that...

    Daily Wins Mega Thread

    My win: I finally posted my first sexy scene in chapter 3 of V&V. I was always a bit hesitant because I'm not sure if it'd be interesting or cliche. But, even if it is cliche, I was brave enough to do it, and that means maybe I can get better at it in the future.

    What one spell would you make if you're a wizard in a world with a soft magic system?

    Well, I would create a spell that would make my enemy lose all joy from things that previously gave them joy. Enjoy painting? Now it's just...meh. Like to read? All books are now...meh. Were you in a band? Suddenly, all the songs you come up with are so....meh. Sometimes the best...

    What songs are you listening to? (the messed up version)

    Oingo Boingo - Insanity is about....insanity. Mordred's Lullaby by Heather Dale -- A mother dripping poison into her son's ear, this is the story of the Arthurian legend Mordred, and his mother twisting him into evil. Coin Operated Boy by Dresden Dolls. Thought this might fit the stalkery...

    What songs are you listening to? (the messed up version)

    Ghost's song "Elizabeth" is about alleged Hungarian serial killer Elizabeth Bathory: Suicide Commando's song "Bind Torture Kill" is about the BTK serial killer. Vast's "Pretty When You Cry" is always there for the angst. There's a couple more in my brains. I'll see if I can find and...

    [For Scifi Spaceship fans] What are some of the ship types in your space navy?

    So far there is a prison ship (the Oubliette) and a palace ship which I imagine being not unlike the pyramid ship from Stargate (the original movie). This is a great thread though. I need to put more thought into what these ships are like, outside and inside.

    Worst Story Ideas

    Let me see.... 1) As a serial killer kills people, their souls get trapped in inanimate objects around his house. They can see, and communicate with other inanimate objects telepathically, but can't move, so they're just stuck watching this guy be horrible to more and more people. 2) A...

    What to do with flammable liquid?

    Many towns have household hazardous waste programs. Google your town's name and "hazardous waste" and they may have a hotline to tell you what to do.

    What are your characters' flaws?

    I'm super invested in interesting character flaws. It's a difficult aspect of a character to get right without being trite or going overboard. So, your Main Characters, what are their most unusual or engrossing flaws? Intrigue me and I'm off to read your story! :biggrin_s:

    Writing Prompt Write a story about vampires being enslaved by humans.

    This is an interesting prompt. I like writing vamps, so I might have to roll it around in my head and see what comes out.
