    Bug report: In Blackened High Contrast, adjusting the font size only changes the size of text in posts. The text under usernames, the Like and similar buttons, in the Alerts drop-down, and in the input box as I type this are all tiny, and I mean smaller than the default text size of 16px. I...

    A New Player in the Force (SW/Lite Gamer)

    Greaves go on your shins. I think the term you're looking for is "vambraces," which go on the forearms, or possibly "rerebraces," which go on the upper arms.

    A New Player in the Force (SW/Lite Gamer)

    The current date is listed before most of the recent chapters, between the author's notes and the beginning of the story text, in terms of years before the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo. If you want the scene Cameron works out when exactly he is, though, you have to find it by going into...

    A New Player in the Force (SW/Lite Gamer)

    When I read that Cam was on Tatooine, I expected him to end up fighting a Sand Demon, otherwise known as the reason Krayt dragons aren't the top of the food chain. A Greater Krayt Dragon is better than that, but not by much. I guess at least he'll have a heck of a story after, and maybe...

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    Batman's met other people from places where he's fiction before, and knows it? I'm going to guess Bat-Mite is responsible for that. And maybe Superboy-Prime, though I don't know whether this particular Batman has met him. There's an apostrophe where there shouldn't be one here.

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    Every version of Superman I've seen -- which is by no means all of them -- speaks with a Lower Midwest accent. You might not notice, since that's the standard accent for American television and movies. It's like BBC English that way -- every character that doesn't have an accent as a...

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    Glad you got that right. Some writers don't seem to realize it. I wonder why they think we use vacuum flasks for things we really want to stay the same temperature. "Says it's". I don't think "say's" is even a proper word, but Spellcheck isn't catching it for some reason. Transposed...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Doghead Thirteen, the original author, posted his plans for the story. Believe it or not, this current dark turn was a major part of those plans well before Dunkelzahn took over.

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    I did notice that there was only one color of pill, it was the combination of a world connected to but not part of reality and the offer of a pill that put me in mind of The Matrix. The instant-skill-gaining bit may have also played a part. I've never personally encountered Viagra beyond a...

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    Probably a good thing you used a blue pill, considering what the phrase "red pill" has come to mean since The Matrix. The red and blue pill imagery might not be the best thing to use at all, though, if you're not trying to invoke memories of certain rather hateful parts of the internet...

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    In that case, you should use nested quotation marks -- either single inside double (" '...' ") in American and some British styles, or the other way around in older British styles, with the punctuation either inside the inner set if it's part of the quoted material or between the two sets if...

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    I'm willing to give you the comma as a difference between UK and US English. Not the period, though. Putting the period outside the quotation marks is correct (in British style) when quoting a text that does not contain a period in that location. However, you're not quoting a text. You're...

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    Did someone say, "Cheap, disposable robots?" Punctuation goes inside quotation marks. Somehow, that's the only place in the chapter you put it outside and everywhere else is correct.

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    It's a Hayabusa Knight. Watch out, they attack twice per turn. This one's tricky because both the correct version and the wrong one are correctly spelled words, so spellcheck won't catch either of them, but only one means what you want.

    When Starfire says you need to meditate, you need to meditate. Needs another R, to mean what you seem to intend to say based on context.

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    That article more or less confirmed what I thought I remembered, though apparently Japanese nationals don't need visas for the US. That was clearly a mistake on my part. I hadn't heard about the passport thing. When Geo becomes well-known enough to be more than just, "that one person who's...

    [DC] Raven Lunacy (OC in Teen Titans)

    It seems unlikely to be relevant to your story as long as it stays in the US, but the first time Geo tries to cross a border that's going to send up major "FAKE!" flags. Japan does not recognize dual citizenship except for minors with parents who are citizens of different countries, and...

    Complete Detachment (Star Wars Prequel SI)

    It's not just a matter of time, it's a matter of hardware and software. Class Three protocol droids have the potential to develop complex personalities, if memory wipes don't reset the process. Class Four battle droids don't. Here's the explanation of droid classes. Ahsoka wasn't assigned...

    Complete Detachment (Star Wars Prequel SI)

    Jedi Padawans are child diplomats, taken into the field by their masters to gain experience in dealing with various species and cultures before being put in charge of something that could start a war if mishandled. The Clone Wars are not normal for Jedi. The closest to what you're describing...

    Complete Detachment (Star Wars Prequel SI)

    Obi-Wan didn't become a Padawan until age thirteen, and if I'm remembering the Jedi Apprentice books correctly he got trounced in his first encounter with pirates shortly thereafter, because the pirate in question was a Togorian twice his height who massively out-ranged him due to longer arms...
