Kind of wish I'd thought of that when writing Strange Awakening - would have been kind of fun to be the security guard who dies to teach Kelly she's not able to save everyone no matter how powerful Sparrow is...

I mean, I do have detailed ideas of how some locations look - in Between Earth and Pyrroth, the Temple of Rhyvven looks a lot like that first castle image, except built into a mountain with about 1/3 of it underground. The palace of the Eternal Emperor of D'Gar has shorter towers, and one side...

Milestone Grinds - character achieves set objectives and gets rewards. Objectives may be "Kill 10 Pheasants" or "Free the Captives of Evil Pharoah Yanxees" or even "Set up a business that does not fail within a week"

My support would be for REPLACING the Autism tag with "Neurodivergent Characters" or "Neurodivergent MC" instead of a new tag myself.

That's another tactic - go out and make a ton of accounts, then sit on them. Trigger them one at a time over a short period of days to farm for replies. Note that some of them have already won if you respond because that shows you have an active email address and account so they can sell this...

Except that I had "cannibals" and not "aliens" that had been my first thought, but I've been watching a lot of Orphan Black so the idea of a rogue "self" pushed that one out...

The room absolutely reeked of the vile smells caused by a myriad of foul chemicals, and the awful stench of liquefied flesh.

For a few decades the two were often misdiagnosed as each other - autistic people were diagnosed as "retarded" or suffering from Down's Syndrome or something else. One of the few celebrity awareness campaigns that was worth the effort put into it was the one to raise public awareness for autism.

I give the reader the details I feel are vital - or unusual. Anything else is up to them to create from that foundation.

Nah - both are forms of neurodivergence, and still in wide use. Asperger's is kind of what used to be called "idiot savant" - a person who is really, really good at a limited number of things but nearly incompetent at everything else. My mom once told my wife that she thought I had Asperger's...

I mean, heck, Jim Parsons had never heard either term before accepting the role of Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory and was surprised when fans praised his portrayal of a character written with a mix of Asperger's Syndrome and OCD.

Well, two novels down the road in one series, the ultimate villain is the Father of Evil. One of the first gods ever, all evil creatures save one must obey his commands. Another series has Morgalis, The Wizard, the demon who taught magic to early humans to help his boss find suitable...

Not exactly - I'm saying that popular media has not made that distinction and often uses the terms interchangeably. Those who don't know (or aren't themselves) neurodivergent people, likely do not know better. I do because I have some friends with neurodivergent kids (also there is some...

Dinner. And sometimes lunch and maybe breakfast but usually dinner

Well, unless you want full on porn, or you hate gender bender stories, you might like my story Strange Awakening (link in my sig).

Personally, I think the tag "Neurodivergent" should REPLACE the "Autism" tag(s) - but, general perception is the other way around, that Neurodivergence is a specific type of autism, and I think the tags as written reflect that perception, and it works well enough in most cases. As for whether I...

I write in multiple genres. So ... yes, but not always intentionally.

Wow - most valuable card I ever had for a game was a $40 Magic card - don't remember which one anymore. Sold it and gave the rest to my brother (which netted me about a $1 profit overall) and built a "budget deck" (a focused booster, a randomly chosen booster - from Unglued in this case - and a...

There is still a season in production (or maybe just wrapped pending a new KS for another one). but only viewable on Gizmoplex.com for new episodes; when they start filming a new series, the MST3K channels on Roku, Samsung and the other networks get the new episodes about one a week.

Which, I suppose, could be "RPG Fan Fiction" (actually hit an interesting question - if you write material for an RPG using existing, licensed, characters, is that technically Fan Fiction - i.e., if you use the Monty Python Co-curricular Medieval Re-enactment Programme with the characters based...
