    Is Piracy Wrong?

    Also a big one for me is if a person/company completely stops selling their work and the only way to get it is buying it used which provides no benefit to the creator even if the copyright is still active it isn't morally wrong. When the only option is buying a worn out second hand gaming...

    Fox girls.

    Honestly the muscles weird me out a little. Not because of their presence, but because of how poorly distributed they are. Their abs are like a boulders, but then you look at their legs, arms, shoulder, traps, neck etc and it's all soft. It's like seeing a guy that only works out on his upper...

    Why are the companies trying to literally kill off all their best characters?

    I went from consuming games and movies in genres I enjoyed on launch full price or even buying special editions etc. I pre-ordered consoles, games, went to midnight screenings for new movies etc etc. Now I wait until they are on sale and also they have had enough time to get a good idea of...

    Do you write genius characters?

    It's possible to write a character that is smarter and more competent than the author themselves are. As the author you know more than the character does about your world and characters after all and you can use that knowledge to portray your character as smarter than you yourself would be in...

    Enigma's Cookbook

    Another potato based side dish I like. Totally not a trend going on here... It's quite easy to make even in larger batches since you can just double up the amounts for the cream cheese topping mix and combine it all in one big bowl. Jalapeno Popper Taters Serves: 1-2 Ingredients: 1 potato...

    Enigma's Cookbook

    This is one of my favourite dishes. A modification on a dish I had a lot as a child so I guess it holds a degree of nostalgia, but everyone else I've made it for has seemed to like it. Yorkshire Pudding Ingredients: 1 part egg by volume 1 part flour by volume 1 part milk by volume a dash of...

    Is Piracy Wrong?

    What do you mean your game's anti-piracy software means it performs 10+ fps lower than a pirated copy that has removed this software while also reporting my personal information to a shady third party and opening up my kernel to exploits and more security flaws than without it?

    About a villain's point of view

    It depends on the story you are trying to tell. Although I like stories with conflicted heroes and villains sometimes it is nice to read a story where there is a clear good and evil. Like I prefer Star Trek, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy Star Wars.

    cooperative choose-your-own stories?

    I think there are some websites that specialise in posting CYOA style stories both with a single author or with multiple authors managing different branches of the story. Though such a story can be done here it might perform better on a site where such stories are the expectation. Not that I'm...

    Chapter names or no chapter names?

    I do use chapter names. Biggest one for me is to not exclude chapter numbers. Cool that you have a name for your chapter, but I would really like to be able to see where in the story I am based on the chapter number and also when comparing to how many new chapters came out since I last read it...

    Your views on standard complexity.

    There are multiple types of complexity a story can contain though most stories focus on a specific one the most. Character Complexity: How much thought it put into the characters themselves? The more the characters are distinct without being cardboard cutouts the more complex. Social...

    Thoughts on "unwanted" feedback

    Oh I totally do the latter at times as a reader. If a character does something completely out of character with no set up to explain said out of character behaviour or if a scene makes no sense or harms the narrative the story has been telling up to that point I will totally point it out. I try...

    Is Piracy Wrong?

    That same argument could be used to argue that boycotting or even simply refusing to buy a product is wrong. Both also deny compensation to creators who have put effort in their creations. Libraries do the same, but we think they're a good thing. Selling a used copy of the creation also does the...

    What is the appeal of vampires?

    Whether they are evil is debatable though. Is a bear that mauls a human evil? I generally ascribe something to be evil when someone has a conscious choice in the matter and despite having a choice not to still harms others. Most humans don't consider themselves evil despite eating meat which...

    Is Piracy Wrong?

    Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free... It's a legal crime. There was no such thing as copyright infringement until we created copyright. Throughout most of history until 1790 we didn't recognise such a thing as a crime. Personally as far as how I feel about it morally I'm mixed on it. I...

    What is the appeal of vampires?

    Well different versions of vampires have different appeals in different contexts. The fact that the legends of vampire-like creatures go back like a thousand year and still persist in popularity to this day is a pretty strong case that they have widespread appeal to humans on some level. As for...

    Thoughts on "unwanted" feedback

    As long as it's polite and constructive feedback I more than welcome it. There are plenty of times I typo something or make a grammatical error. if someone can call it out so I can fix it without having to pay for an actual editor I'm more than happy to take the feedback. Doesn't mean I'm always...

    How to become a highly popular author

    Can attest if you write a story with all those tags you have probably hit all the big draws on here. Only one I would say is missing is Isekai.
