    Does anyone else do this?

    Nah, I just skip the noodles entirely and go straight to chugging gasoline. Really makes my chest feel warm before a numbing sensation turns my body's senses off entirely. Then I wake up three days later with puked up blood and oil pooling around me.

    Fiction doesn't affect reality. Fiction enhances reality.[Warning: Long Post]

    Those American's were most likely raised to believe that stuff from the beginning with propaganda fed to them from their parents. If you show a grown adult communist propaganda, and they weren't raised to approve of communistic ideals, but they still fed into it, then that means that they either...

    Give me any story idea and I'll make it into a 5 chapter story[January Edition]

    We have the winner! Proof: I have a great idea to turn this into a short story. Especially if I were to lean into the whole horror aspect. I should be done with it in a week or two.

    Depends. Show Korean propaganda to a heavily patriotic American and they probably won't fall under its influence. It all depends on their early influence. I can point to studies that say otherwise for the first two things. As for the last point, nature versus nurture comes to mind. Someone with...

    Well, I'm personally an atheist. I don't really believe in a God. However, I'm not going to say your opinion isn't valid because our personalized worldviews differ. I don't get the whole devil's temptation thing, since I look at things through a more scientific lens than a belief based one, and...

    Fiction doesn't affect reality. Fiction enhances reality.[Warning: Long Post]

    That's pretty much my whole last paragraph in a nutshell. Fiction only affects a person's worldview when they're exceptionally young, around the age of 10 and younger. Once people reach their teenage years, they start discovering who they are as a person, whether that be for the better or worst...

    I want people's opinions on this because I'm genuinely curious about this concept. I'm under the idea that fiction doesn't affect reality. As in I don't believe shit like playing violent video games somehow makes people more likely to go out and cause mass murders. Seeing movies that glorify...

    What's your typing speed?

    I just took a test and got like 45, but then again I've never been that good at those tests to begin with.

    Give me any story idea and I'll make it into a 5 chapter story[January Edition]

    So, I want to change up my signature, since those two stories down there I'm not working on right now since I'm working on my actual book for the time being. But I also don't like working on one story all the time, cause then I'll grow bored of it quickly. So here's a solution. Every month...

    Which would make a better ending?

    So its either writing a concept that can continue the story for a bit longer and possibly end it satisfyingly, or write an ending that just feels more like the story came to a screeching halt out of nowhere and everything ends completely miserably. Option 1, no questions asked.

    Weapon name length in correlation to their power.

    "The Throngler" is infinitely more scary than "Mayhem of Destruction - Evil Hand God Demon Blade." Also yes I took this from Twitter. 99% of the stuff on there is garbage but there's those 1% that's actually funny.

    Are info dumps required for world building? (OPINION)

    Info dumps are pretty much the worst parts of any fantasy story. Now I can forgive an info dump that lasts for a few pages. If it contains crucial information that needs to be said about the world and it doesn't go on for too long, then its fine. But once the dump starts going past 5 pages...

    I'll read it but know that I'm only going to read a small portion and it'll take some time cause I've been busy with stuff lately. I'll message you with my thoughts when I get the time to.

    SoulsBorn Lit

    Pretty much any idea can work in literature if executed well and the right audience reads it. There's a few aspects to souls games that they all have in common with their storytelling that you should be aware of before attempting this 1: The lore of the story and the motives for characters...

    A stupid question.

    You don't call a T-shirt and sweater the same thing because they're made with similar fabric and are worn over your abdomen. Same thing with panties and boxers. They're different articles of clothing despite having a similar function.

    First Person or Third Person for a narrator

    Depends on the story. Each have their strengths and weaknesses, but the best way you can decide which pov is right for you is to remember this: First person's strength is characterization of the focal protagonist, while third person's strength is giving a wide view of the story and world the...

    What’s your most ambitious idea for a story?

    My most ambitious. Well I do have a story idea that's like Rick and Morty except its a shounen action story that takes an Attack on Titan sort of twist in the last third of the story and each universe the character goes to has their own differing rules to them blurring what the word truth...
