Print? Tough call between Heinlein's "The Star Beast" (first science fiction novel I ever read, and the book I've probably read the most times), Heinlein's "Time Enough For Love" (though I did not really "get it" the first time) or Pohl Anderson's "Three Hearts and Three Lions" (partly because...

Given the number of countries with limited involvement in the Ukraine and Middle Eastern conflicts, those could be considered part of a world war III actually. Not on the scale of the two a century before them but close.

They're all images of animals or other creatures who are drawn to resemble food items. Not like they've been prepared AS food, but just slightly tweaked so that they look like common foods

So well that it is a TV mini-series (about the dead returning) out of Australia and a K-Drama that I have not read the synopsis nor watched the trailer to on Netflix... "System Glitch" may be much better. Though maybe something about "Iterative" to throw off the illiterate? Maybe "The...

Food Fighters?

I've never done it before so had to look it up (by "Reply" to a post that did it.) You find the URL of the story you are linking, in "square brackets" ([ ]) before the URL you write URL unfurl="true" and then in square brackets after the URL you type /URL like so (edit - or maybe not?)...

Times New Roman Sans.

That possibility is what got me back into writing, actually. Was stuck in a car for hours at a time with my phone and was getting tired of playing games...

The red flags for me are: "Too many similar books out there so want to avoid that bandwagon" and "promises or hints at a lot of sex, and/or a lot of same sex sexual pairings, perhaps to the point of that being the story" As for what attracts me to a story - either that I'm familiar with the...

The only time I've seen First Letter Only Capitalized was when a character was talking in a "Mom Voice" to children. And when she was really upset, She. Talked. Like. This. It was funny but jarring.

When I type on my phone it LOVES to help me by making lines come out like that... Fortunately I edit on my PC...

Don't remember where, but I have seen it or something very much like it, in the past. Been at least a decade though.

Ever hear of a Time Turner? If so, you spent too much time reading (or watching movies) instead of writing... Budget your time or accept a slower pace of writing. Really the only options.

Wagner's operas (Der Ring des Nibelungen (English: The Ring of the Nibelung). gave us the term "Götterdämmerung" literally "twilight of the gods" - also the German translation of the Norse word " Ragnarök," and depicted Asgard in flames at the end; that phrase has come to mean "...and the world...

Well, if there IS any association between "fan fiction" and "women" I would lay the blame at E. L. James's feet for that... but your comment is literally the first time I've ever seen anyone say anything like that, and, heck, my first attempts at writing were superhero fanfics, before I went...

I always hated the fairy tales that ended with that infamous line "Happily Ever After" - indeed, I disliked all fairy tales for several years because of it. Not because I dislike happy endings, but because I was annoyed that these characters go through all these horrible things, and yet...

I don't think it is stereotypically ANYTHING. Many writers start out with fan fiction - heck, two of the stories in Night Shift by Stephen King were fan fiction, one of Robert Bloch (primarily his "Notebook Found in an Abandoned House") and the other of H. P. Lovecraft (even down to mirroring...

If you want lighter stuff (at least that's what he's put here so far) that falls in both genres, check out the stuff by @ThisAdamGuy My own stuff (in my signature) is a bit heavier and probably not as good but it tends to skirt both, and Between Worlds IS both, when it's not being a slice of...

Fan Fiction has been around forever. A lot of Silver and Bronze age comic books began as fan fiction of Gold and Silver age comic books; heck some of the first comic books were, essentially, fan fiction of pulp novels and radio plays (The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet, The Shadow). More...

Ah, that trope. I think it started in the (often badly) dubbed movies from Hong Kong that flooded Western markets in the 70s - "My kung fu is better than yours! Flying Dragon Lotus!" "I counter with Drunken Monkey!" It may be part of an Asian view (probably at least partly justified) that...
