@Corty I believe I asked you in another thread to stop making any and all replies to me. You have a history of harassment here. I will re-itterate it in this thread. Any and all interaction from you is unwelcome.

I decided to follow the link and start reading. That was actually some incredibly good quality. I'm tempted to actually read more WORM fanfics if they all tend to have that much respect for the source material. No, bugs are bugs and insects are insects. Go back and read the long paragraphs of...

1st. That's a comparatively recent development. The past 70 or so years marks the first time in history we're actually offloading things from Earth. 2nd. We are only shooting a few things up into space per year. But, how does this compare to what's being added to the earth? Have you ever seen a...

Are you trying to be dumb on purpose just to troll out a debate. Ok. How about this. You have a bank account with an annual interest rate of 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% growth per year. How many years will it take you to get 1$ out of that, if you...

If you dump a bucket of water into the ocean, you just added a bucket of water to the ocean, and the ocean grew by that much. It's not a meaningful amount of growth, but it actually IS growth. The sign of the earth growing is things being added to earth. Things ARE being added to earth, they...

Ok, I haven't watched the video, but how would they debunk the idea that the Earth is growing? I suppose you could debunk the particular model of the Earth's growth that the conspiracy theory they're discussing proposes, but the Earth actually IS accumulating space debris. Every asteroid that...

That's like asking what's the difference between food and a meal. Bug is a colloquial term and insect is a scientific term. Therefore, the question you just asked doesn't even make sense in the first place. Also, arguments from disinterest are boring. If you're unsatisfied with my lack of depth...

Oh dear. I know of a good few conspiracy theories, but every single last one of them risks turning this into a political discussion that might get the mods irritated.

Protagonists that are always moving forward, despite what challenges life or even their own psychology is throwing at them. After my experience in reading and writing, I've come to realize that's the most key element that makes a good protagonist. You can give them a whole host of different...

Nope. Only fanfic I've ever written was a currently incomplete stopped-short one I wrote for Mother of Learning. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/53888/mother-of-learning-abyss-of-time-a-fanfiction

Yeah. Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of people on the internet just don't understand what colloquialisms are. Colloquialisms are real language, while dictionaries are an attempt by some people to keep up with the definitions that are constantly changing due to colloquialisms. I was...

I'll tell you my process for coming up with new stories, and maybe that can help you a bit. My method for coming up with story concepts is I only write the things that consume me. I will not write a story unless it's something that intrusively forces it's way into my thoughts, and I find myself...

Ok. Well, there's no single element to getting good at writing. It's all just practice, practice, and a WHOLE FREAKING LOT of practice. But, there's a few things you can do to guide your practice and help yourself improve faster. I'll give you a rank order list of the most to least important...

Well, I don't READ fanfics. I've written one for Mother of Learning once, and apparently it's really high end for a fanfic for how well it adheres to the characters and looks as though it might as well have actually been written by the original author, but the comments I got on it actually...

Lol, that would be hilarious. The series never explores that, which would imply the answer is "no" since the reason she was able to discover her ability to sense parasitic worms was encountering a dog that had heartworm and I really cannot see her having never encountered a person with a cold...

But not worms. Worms are in the phylum Annelida. And she even expands this to the likes of parasitic worms, like tapeworms, pinworms, and heartworms. Worms are the primary reason why I say "Arthropod" does not work as a definition and needs to be expanded to the colloquial use of the term "bug."

Scroll up. Also, I said it in somewhat subtle terms a moment ago, so I will make it more clear now. You are harrassing me. Next time I see you reply to me anywhere on the forum with a back-biting comment, I am reporting you for harassment.

That would certainly explain your attitude and the inability to stand the fact that you're wrong. I will add that you are the one who randomly came in here and started making this conversation ugly. This was a rather productive and reasonable conversation before you came in.

Ok, except I said "Bug," and the other people are inserting the word "insect" into my mouth for some reason. You cannot change the words a person said in order to say therefore they are wrong. Also, Corty has a huge vendetta against me for whatever reason, so you can't trust them on this one...

Err... no. "Bug" is not a scientific term. It's a colloquialism for every little creepy crawly thing. And, that's exactly what Taylor controls. Therefore, she controls bugs. You can't say "no, bug = insect" for a colloquialism. Colloquialisms are not bound by scientific definitions and precise...
