    Semi-serious. The greater body of humanity truly does not care enough to persecute and/or disparage random unnotables in their ranks, the only expectations that exist are those you hold over yourself. Try (and fail) as many times as you need to if you are set on writing, no one will mind (or...

    The Rise of the Rebranded Fanfic Author.

    Opinion. Natural evolution of the fanfic author, something to be encouraged. Fanfic has often been seen as the "training wheels" of literature, playing with premade Lego pieces and stations of canon and either modifying or wholesale creating new bits to integrate as the writer's skill improves...

    Isekai link up (you drop into a world with your avatar & a favorite characters powers do you survive?) title suggestions may change this in the future

    Unserious ribbing. Technically I qualify, though language in that vein will cause us to have a problem very, very shortly. Combination of Void Core residual memories, personal paranoia and planned landing site (Babylon LabsNomu Experiment Labs), very sore topic. HoV!Yelena (Voidnova?) is going...

    Idle musing. One of the more useful life skills I have developed over the years is the ability to switch off my brain in times of need, defaulting to extremely rigid process-action loops and ignoring a majority of external and internal stimuli. Does affect complex planning somewhat, but noted...

    Isekai link up (you drop into a world with your avatar & a favorite characters powers do you survive?) title suggestions may change this in the future

    Project Moon's conceptual nonsense might be key in this actually, for containment if not full solution. Having something to stall the spread of Originium infection and/or the Core's radiation possibly indefinitely, either by T-Corp time singularity or a H Corp Bolus to outheal the ongoing...

    Dread. Oh. Oh dear. Profile avatar is Frostnova from Arknights, while cute and sympathetic is actively dying from what is essentially Tiberium infection. And with the powers of the Herrscher of the Void along with her own uncontrollable frost aura, I am going to be a walking wasteland in...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Agreed, having an internal score for each [entity]'s capabilities and limits for purposes of writing is good, helps drafting up reasonable scenes and forcing alternatives if brute-force is unavailble. May lead to asspull or deadlock incidents if scenario leads to a literary "checkmate" where no...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Opinion. Disregarding the supernatural/world-breaking elements, being able to see tangible results for tedious self-improvement would motivate a large percentage of humanity, like a living fitness scorer. Imagine being able to view your projected maximum safe muscle strength increase in psi/N...

    Sincere. Similar issues, arising from a life poorly spent under heavy self-justification/delusion and natural manipulative tendencies, both inward and outward, to point of, incidents. Advice. In times of doubt for self motives/intentions, assess and break down personal goals for the issue into...

    Everyone from QQ wake up as their Avatar, what's the first thing we do in real life?

    Self-Insert Thunderdome is a curious idea, yes. Have multiple entitites with wildly contrasting traits/properties all mashed together and either directly charged with combating one another, or plain clashing due to proximity alone. Would be ungainly incredibly quickly however, keeping track of...

    "Don't Be A Bastard." Fairly decent words to live by. Samaritanism or martyrdom neither called for nor expected, but if aiding someone is within casual and painless reach, DBAB.

    Contract Employees Grievance

    Suspect common modern practice is to string along workers on constant contracts in order to bypass time-based salary progression, especially for current generation of new workers. Personal opinion. Middleman companies often refuse to specify exact client companies prior to contract signing...

    General chat thread

    Always curious on how normal people amass so many belongings throughout their lives. Five years ago I made a flippant statement that all evidence of my existence could fit in one backpack, later testing had it (mostly) accurate - and five years on still is. Yet family members can somehow amass...

    DIETING! (Updates posted on Sunday morning.)

    Joke. Indicator for mealtime is when you start regurgitating acid. (Trivia: pure particle-free acid is coloured like dark beer.) Personal method is to simply equate each and every single meal, snack, and drink into working man-hours, calculating estimated weekly profit to monthly expenses...

    Red flags in a fic: firts impressions

    Snarky McCoolBoy protagonists. Snippy protagonists can have their place, do not begrudge people for grumbling about general events/environs if not overdone, but CH1 consists of egregious jeering at canon characters or canon premises in some sort of puffed-up flexing ritual - seriously question...

    Days Gone By: A Memoir of the Gallian Front

    Unlikely. Gallian High Command has a vested interest in Squad 422 staying in place, and preferably dying in the line of duty. Having them desert would trigger a manhunt from the regular forces since a few of them have sensitive evidence that the brass wants buried.

    Days Gone By: A Memoir of the Gallian Front

    Wonder if the Lion's unit will ever cross paths with Squad 422, their uses pretty much coincide. Albeit the Nameless function pretty much as a penal battalion that simply refuses to die and mutated themselves into the world's first spec-ops unit as a result, while Finch has more cohesive training.
