    Anyone here write scripts?

    I have had loads of fun with scripts but it does seem like selling a bit of your soul. They come out exactly like a poached egg for me, and a little like a dried tongue in cheek bit of cheese. Maybe a sushi roll? What does it for me is a spark to the magic of the movies. I think it is much less...

    Workflow to Find Non-AI Art

    I find it funny how AI messes up the algorithm with their own creations. They have this neat thing where they can zoom in however. But the search for images gets quite accurate I know. My mother has more knowledge than me on ChatGPT, and I have seen YouTubers explore the merits of different...

    Panster Fun

    I was at the internet cafe, scribbling some notes on a pad, because I did not have a tablet. So I was approached by two mates, and they are smiling, and they tell me about this new bit of hacker tech they have on SD. So we order chips, and I feel like I smell of pizza, but the fact is my date is...

    Skipping (canon) Character Descriptions in fanfiction...

    I like fanfic but sometimes authors will ban their prose fanfic and I think that is unfair. You have the big ones: Stephenie Meyer, J.K.Rowling, Robin Hobb, Anne Rice. There is a sober affair with the whole facade but I enjoyed the full length novels written in efforts to mimic exactly what they...

    Pinocchio

    I was musing. The puppet came into the story as a backdrop for plotline. I had the idea sort of roll around in my head as a strategy RPG, but it became a story when the places and names took hold of me. The Bible is not mentioned just four elements so there is a mix and match when it comes to...

    Pinocchio

    I had been trying to work my wooden boy into my fiction WIP. It is about magical animals that the Eden Corporation hunts down stopped by Canaan Enterprises. It is a new colony, and the atmosphere there is not conducive to air travel, so they land probes to bring forth lava, because it is also...

    One Chip to rule them D-pad, One Chip to find them, One Chip to bring them D-pad and in the darkness One Chip them.

    I prefer vague praise to clear thoughtful feedback, but welcome anyway. I have a eulogy you could look over, before I go forth into Hades.

    The Drunken Dragon

    (A sign read, seeking lodgers, and able bodied servants, who wish to dote upon a parsimonious public, was pinned to the job board, it was frayed and a little hard to read, but it held bold text, and the quests were of a monstrously low skill level.) He had little more than a leather pouch and a...

    Writing in tense situations

    I am pretty dumb when it comes to most things. On the flip side I amuse myself in other ways. The next story for me comes around sooner or later, transferring its cathartic comforts my way, however I like the way it bares, so I stick with it.

    Writing in tense situations

    I find it hard to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Meaning I have never really finished any bit of writing I have set out to. I feel a bit like an orphan maybe, but that is a lot of inspiration to finish a book. And yes I find it uncomfortable to finish a lot of things on the...

    Calendars in Worldbuilding.

    I like time machines, they are romantic. So very much inspired by Majors Mask. There is the usual day and night cycle, about 20 days in each month, about five to six months, (there is the discrepancy, because sometimes there is four months - to be used in a civil war, not mistaking a...

    Plot Bunnies

    It is funny the first thing alchemists tried to create was gold. Then it was closely followed by a fridge. I had ideas about stories, containing scientists, torture devices, and eunuchs. It was of course ended by my own creative licence. There is only so many times you can attempt the political...

    Plot Bunnies

    When you think about it all gothic cities are pretty good when it comes to mythology and the condoning of philosophy. There are many inspirations that come from non fiction in my style and conception. The idea of putting these cities into some kind of incipient spin always evokes the imagination...

    Plot Bunnies

    I have a fascination with black stories yet I am not black. You would not call it a plot bunny but what I call the white thief shows up a lot. There are racially spanning stories of merchants and dynasties, but very quickly it turns into a nightmare inside a walled city. I get a lot of...
