    Foreign languages in fiction

    I always cheat a little and render foreign languages as prose. By that I mean I don't ever write out that conversation. Instead, it's always "they spoke in another language," or "they conversed in their mother tongue." Depending on the fluency of any characters observing the conversation...

    Fantasy Readers, how much is worldbuilding important for you?

    IMO, worldbuilding exists on a spectrum of importance; the closer the setting is to what the reader is familiar with, the less important that worldbuilding is. Explaining stuff to your reader that they already know about is just padding the story. I don't need to know what a smartphone is...

    what would you like to read in an isekaid country novel?

    I honestly do not want to see any interaction between an isekai'd person and the isekai destination. America suddenly gets dropped into Geneirc Fantasy Land? Have it be set in Montana or something, super far from the action.

    Reverse Transmigration(?)

    Obviously, it would be a wish fulfillment series. Except my wish fulfillment is to have a stable 9-5, an apartment, and decent hobbies, instead of having to worry about the demon king or whatever world ending threat it is this week.

    Comparing tools

    The coffee machine that tells time and brews things that aren't coffee isn't a coffee machine, it's a kitchen gadget. As much as kitchen gadgets are convenient, I can't stand them. If I want to tell time, I wear a watch. If I want to brew something hot, I set a kettle on the stove and pour it in...

    Writing Christian Robots and Magic as a Function of Belief

    Take the following concepts as a given, for a fictional setting. The first of them is that artificial intelligences have been devised. They are demonstrably reasoning and rational creations. In effect, a consciousness brought about purely via mechanical calculation. However, said consciousness...

    I missed the lockdowns

    Well I sure as fuck didn't, go outside and find some bitches. Or don't. You sound like a teenager that took a personality quiz and landed on "introvert." News flash: you ain't, you were poorly socialized as a child. Holy shit i fucking hate NEETs.

    Yeah and if it happened in real life I'd still be on the side of whatever apocalypse comes by. I support climate change

    [Movie] Don't Look Up - a Netflix satirical movie about disaster prevention

    I hated it, and I hated all the characters. Last thing i need is a bunch of limpdick Hollywood types telling me the world is ending. If I had to share the Earth with the people in this film, I'd be on Team "Apocalyptic Comet" in a heartbeat!
