Confessions! I just added a couple of stories to Archive of My Own (as a backup -- CHYOA's my 'first drop'). It has a massive block of tags, which pop up when you add them. Despite this massive block and the literal hundreds of thousands of stories, a large percentage (plurality) of which deal...

I don't know. I put most of my Fanfic stuff into Fanfic, but it always feels... wrong to me. I wish we could put things in more than one major category.

More Rosencrantz and Guildenstern than SiL, though I liked SiL fine. And I'm a B5 nut, but I accept not all agree. (And deep down I want Vir and Lennier to have just gone off and gotten a little house somewhere and cooked for each other and had passive aggressive arguments, but I'm alone in...

I once created a fantasy character who spoke exclusively in iambic pentameter. It was a terrible idea and the story was total crap, but I did it. (“Why doesn’t this person ever say yes or no?” “...because by definition everything that say has to work in ten syllable blocks. Also, shut up.”)

When I'm launching a new story, I like to have the 'foundation' set -- so the Introduction, an Author's Notes branch (because I like to keep those out of the middle of the other branches), and the initial branch to one or two chapters deep. If I'm setting up a Game rules story, I like to have...

(Also, often the quality of a piece has little to do with the potential humor value of Russo-Finnish intonation. Hamlet as done by Londo Mollari would be a triumph of comedy.)

As a confessed Slavic accent reader... Mels and I have watched “The Room” many, many times. Including riffed and unriffed, and as part of Rifftrax Live. And whether or not it’s a drama or melodrama is probably secondary to the issues with the writing, acting, directing, editing, scoring...

I have the opposite problem. I have to assume it dates back to MUDding or something, but sometimes I find present tense just creeping into things.

Oooo... I know that one... ...this premise is, like, eighteen percent of the Erotica Market. Seriously. It's a variation on basic Erotic Romance Ravishment -- another way to let 'good girls' like sex without compromising their precious virtue, because 'they had no choice.' Versus, of course...

On my side I'm significantly behind, Zeebop. I'm going to carve out a chunk of time as soon as I can and navigate through several of the byways. On the other hand, likes seem to be slowing down across the board on my things, too. So... it's not impossible that February is just a slower month in...

Ms. Hammer Critic inspired another one of mine... When fictional universes have been depicted in several media (comics, cartoons, tv, movies, etc.) I always write my work in a composite universe, to reduce the chance that I'll screw up some obvious bit of history. Also, that way I just have to...

It... it is my curse. The enthusiasm owns me.

Oh, and actual writing advice? The folks above hit all the things I would. I guess I’d reinforce - write the story you want to write, and don’t set too high expectations - for yourself or your audience. Explore. Have fun. This is a nice place with nice people.

Wasn’t really an option back in the day. It is now, thankfully. And ugh. Sorry to hear it. And yeah. VPNs are generally a good idea. If you can’t afford it or it’s not practical, grab a browser with Tor capability, like Brave. It’s not all precipice and disaster, promise. But if you’re at the...

And that's my cue! Hi! I'm Rubicon, and have been for a while. Rubicon Cross in other places. Those places? Let me write dirty fanfic. And that name let me do it without involving my professional name. Hi! I'm Kimberly Dale. I peddle smut. I had to stop for a while because of unrelated...

A magnetic style ramscoop is actually almost entirely a magnetic field that sweeps out as large as possible in front of the ship. The design is meant to draw particles and ions from a wide swath in front of the ship, diverting them into a tightly constricted area as they're funneled into the...

'Squick' is the point where a given kink or fetish triggers the "OH GOD NO YIKES PLEASE THAT AIN'T RIGHT!" chemical in your brain. "Oh, that looks hot -- wait, that person's fourteen? AIGHNO! Squick!" Some stuff's squicky inherently. Other stuff squicks at a certain point. And most people have...

"Guy from Harlem" theme song goes on, I become someone who boogies.

Five! As of this moment.
