    Hero Story Idea

    If the characters are in a school to learn to use powers, it's going to be a Sky High/MHA/Xavier's Institute clone, no matter what (or Miss Perregrine's Home or the other three or four variations, including The Irregulars)... If the characters just happen to be IN school, it shouldn't matter, as...

    Is this a good description?

    That's what happens though - she shifts her gravitational focus from the ground to a tree - and then the narrator explains how she did that. I agree with the earlier comment that it's "fine but stiff" myself. Not sure how to "fix" it as such, and I'd probably actually write something "stiffer"...

    Does this sound like a My Hero Academia rip off

    That's odd that people would make that association. I'd be more likely to think "The Xavier Institute for the Gifted" ripoff than an MHA one myself...

    Creative burnout and story hyperfixation

    I used to work with a woman who's goal was to become an air force or navy pilot (last I heard, she had been accepted as a mechanic with a provisional option to fly, due to her being tiny - exactly the smallest size a pilot could possibly be without having to reengineer the cockpit) - when she...

    What motivates you to write?

    To be fair, when I can write, I write because these stories WANT to get out (and I hope maybe I'll make money on one or two of them eventually, but mostly they just need to get OUT).

    What motivates you to write?

    At the moment, nothing. Hopefully this cold will clear up and I'll have the energy to get back into it soon

    I told some girl her hairstyle is because of your astrology.

    The hairstyle, the comment or the astrology? Having seen at least five articles pushed out by the "news aggregators" about "best hairstyles based on your astrological sign" ... it may be true.

    Creative burnout and story hyperfixation

    This sounds like how Hitchcock directed movies - he did all his work during the planning stages and on some films, actually fell asleep while the cameras were rolling (about the only known exception was Rope which he kept his own interest high because he insisted on filming the entire story in...

    Uhh help?

    Unless you edited the post since (and the copied text shows this) the post said you'd checked it " using Noron Web Security"

    The history of this story is convoluted. About 1/3 of the first chapter was written as part of a challenge about ten, fifteen years ago that I no longer remember - but saved the file and gave it that title. Had no idea what to do with it, so shelved it for about a year ... and then got into a...

    What Makes You Actually Favorite/Follow a Story?

    Not sure what makes me favorite a story or not. I usually comment when something impresses me, good or bad. I follow something if I can either keep pace with releases or if it is finished and not too long when I start.

    Well, heck. Been a while since this one got any attention (and yes, the cover is 90% AI generated) and can't currently do this for the two I'd be most interested in due to PocketFM rules but here's https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1192504/strange-awakening/ my only successful story here so far.

    Porn in Writing

    Not a huge fan of it, but I've dated women who were and occasionally got me to write some for them, so it has its place, I guess.

    OTOME PANTY RAID

    It apparently was a big thing between the 60s and the 80s but went out of fashion before 1990. Happy Days featured an episode with a panty raid, IIRC, when the boys were visiting colleges. Quantum Leap had Sam forced to take part in one in the "Animal Frat" episode, and, IIRC, Animal House had...

    Need help in identifying right tags for novel and remove the unnecessary ones.

    So how does this compare with "Crooked Ukeleles" or "Gay Ukeleles"? Never knew there were stories about them! Only have one or would have used that for one story (and same issue with another that keeps wanting to get out when I should be working on other stories)
