    Power Ideas (specific type of crossover fic)

    The example that comes to the top of my head is from the old webcomic, erfworld. The protagonist (anagrammed as Parson Gotti) is a normal human summoned by a spell into this fantasy world that's structured like a turn-based strategy game. Everything he encounters in this world looks like a joke...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Maybe it's because Akira was often the first anime western millennials ever watched. It was pretty popular back in the day when anime used to be niche but was just starting to break into western markets and gain mass appeal. So it's the first name that pops into the SI's head, is my guess. A bit...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    There's one thing Army of Darkness got right :D :D Always keep some textbooks of that nature in the trunk of your car, in case you and the car both get sucked through a portal into the middle ages.

    Suggestion: Enforce correct tagging.

    Indeed, I just ran into this problem only a few minutes ago when I tried to add a bunch of tags to my thread to cover every concept it gets into, and it limited me to 20 tags max. So some things are just gonna have to go untagged.

    Imperial versus Metric System (Or Something Else?)

    In Canada we use both for different purposes. We are officially on the Metric system, but people also throw around Imperial measurements day-to-day as a legacy of being a British colony and also having a lot of cultural overlap with the States. The way I see it is this: - If you're doing...

    favorite quotes or quotes you created yourself

    Reminds me of when Google used to have as their motto, "Don't be evil", but then they had to get rid of that motto because it was getting in the way of profits. There's the rider, and then there's the elephant. The rider likes to think he's telling the elephant where to go, but all he's really...

    Censorship by Payment Processors

    That's always the trouble, isn't it? Centralize too much, you get tyranny. Decentralize too much, you get chaos. Like the scene at the end of Demolition Man goes... (To the gestapo bigwig): "You could get a little dirtier" (To the sewer-dwelling rebel leader): "You, a lot cleaner" "Somewhere in...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    As they said in the Simpsons, you know what I blame this on the breakdown of? Society. Somewhere during the cold war, the culture shifted things in a direction where people started to get the idea that being a good person is a sucker's game. It might have been the dysgenic randomness of the two...

    Fandoms you'd like to see more fanfiction for?

    Interesting. I've had a Halo idea rattling around in my head for a few years now, about pair of marines (male and female) who have to survive in the snowy Control Centre area after their pelican is shot down. Evading covenant search parties and exploring forerunner buildings. Maybe I'll get to...

    To those who are currently writing a story right now, why did you start writing that story?

    Now that I started writing a story here, I can answer this. I started writing it because it seemed like that's what people do on this forum and it would have felt weird if I was just lurking and commenting in rant threads without actually contributing some writing. Also, the story I chose to...

    I’ve lost the ability to form my own opinion

    It's important to remember that everyone everywhere is trying to bullshit you about everything. People are either trying to extract money from you, or convince you to do something dumb so they don't have to compete with you (and therapists are not exempt from this either). I say don't listen to...

    DIETING! (Updates posted on Sunday morning.)

    I almost always have a glass of water with me at my desk that I sip from whenever I feel parched, or I keep a bottle of water in the car when I'm out somewhere. But that's just me, where if I get too dry it causes problems for my nose and throat. Like I said at the beginning, you'll probably...

    Does this joke break any rules?

    The way I read it, the joke sounded fine to me, but by publicizing it in a thread, it called out the staff into the court of public opinion, which they would naturally see as a challenge to their authority. It's a bit like how, in a baseball game you'll have a batter at the plate, and the count...

    A while back I was reading the ancient play, "Medea", by Euripides (also adapted by Seneca for a Roman audience). That one might count as a harem tragedy.

    Censorship by Payment Processors

    The law is a spiderweb: the little flies get caught, and the big hornets rip right through. And if you're among the biggest hornets, you want those webs to be everywhere, just to slow down your competition. It often looks like hypocrisy, but really it's just a continuation of business by other...

    You may remember that in the Terminator movies, there was a message that John Connor made Kyle Reese memorize, so he could relay it to Sarah Connor after traveling back into the past. The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. Or as the coach in Miracle put it...
