I loved "Pulp Fiction". When the film first came out in the mid-90s, my housemate and I rushed to the theatres to see it because we liked Tarantino's style of "Reservoir Dogs" and wondered how he'd pull of a multi-layer, episodic movie. Thank goodness he had the likes of Travolta, Jackson...

I had one of my followers approach me about their concerns rushing a scene; doing too much too fast and not really developing a good pace for the scene. And if I'm honest, a lot of the work I've read and reviewed here fall into pacing problems - either too fast or too slow. So I'd like to...

I really want to make sure I'm doing this okay, so could I have a few comments yay or nay? I'm not sure it qualifies for LitRPG or not. Anyway, this is what I have so far: Morri snatched up his smartphone after a dozen rings and angrily growled, “What?!” “Geez, Morri!” the voice on the other...

I saw this on BlueSky the other day. Take this scenario: You are offered $10 million if you survive one year in the world of a horror movie of your choosing. Which movie would you choose and why?

I have an email from the administration that states it might be unwise to add book cover images to ANY books that were recently blocked.. The automated bot that is indexing books appears to have some burps with cover images, which is why so many books right now do not appear in search engine...

I first read "August Heat" in high school, as part of my Literature classes. W. F. Harvey, a master horror writer, tells this 1910 gem of two men who don't know each other at all, and yet, though a strange future projection, we learn one of them will kill the other. it's really well-written, and...

We could play in almost total darkness and not be told to come inside. We could ride unsupervised in the bed of a pickup truck, legally. We thought nothing about it if a fly landed in our drink - we either fished it out and drank, or chugged down the fly with the drink. We considered the Slinky...

Without spoiling anything, I would say from a visual standpoint, I have yet to see a movie in my life that can equal it. And that's saying quite a lot since I would estimate I've seen at least 5,000 movies or more in my life. (former film student and all) To describe "Hundreds of Beavers" is...

I'm not going to post anything until the series bugs work themselves out and I'm back in good standing again, so I'll read for a bit here. I'll look at your first chapters and give completely honest, professional evaluations on: Content: Am I enjoying what I'm reading? Are the characters...

My housemate of about 30 years and I were at a Burger King today to get some shakes for the afternoon. We decided to avoid the long line at the drive-thru (because "fast food" is so damned fast these days ?) and stopped inside to order and wait in line with about ten other people. We were...

I had never seen the 3-plus hour long Richard Donner cut and it was really quite interesting. Laced with a lot more humor and comic book fluff, the film actually made a lot more sense in some areas; most notably, especially why the two nuclear missiles were sent to different places, Lois Lane's...

A rocker of outstanding legend has passed. Ozzy was 76. As someone who grew up in the turbulent musical age of the 70s, with its grunge, disco, and punk rock influences all hitting us at the same time, it was refreshing to hear Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" album for the first time, and falling in...

My housemate and I have gone to five different places this week, a grocery store, a department store, a well-loved Thai place, a hardware store and the library. In every single one of these places, I don't think we saw more than 20 people in any of them. Is everyone really just going...

I guess this is the right place to ask. Where is the information regarding rules/terms for artwork we use to accompany stories posted? Thanks! *^^*

I have a regular client that loves TF stories and it's usually human-to-beast. I don't mind them so much as I love these type of stories because you can take them so many places. But it's really unsettling because the transformations are never quick and painless; they have to take place over a...

Four retries now. I've emailed for some kind of clarification on "rejected: nsfw" and waiting on a reply. But it can be frustrating knowing your book cover isn't "nsfw" and the admin here think it is - and I've seen quite a few other book covers here that balance the line between sfw and nsfw...

For the last month or so, the weather alerts are stagnant, whenever we're told to expect thunderstorms we never get them, and temperature predictions have been right out. Has anyone else noticed less than accurate weather forecasting lately from their phones...?

I just read this remarkable tip and thought I'd share to cat lovers everywhere. There's a really meaningful expression or facial movement you can do that cats love more than most. While a cat is close by you, look them in the eyes intently, wait for them to look back at you, and then blink...

I've taught world-building for many years at conventions, and I'm eager to help those who have questions about it, so just let me know if you do. (because when I help others I get ideas too.) I didn't see a world-building thread right offhand, so I thought we could make one here. If we do have...
