    What do you hate seeing in stories?

    I meant the "desire to say 'I love you' sneaking into everything" aspect. Also, in my original post here I was criticizing the writers that do that thing. The "99% of non-satirical romance makes me turn and leave" thing is subjective; I did not say "this genre sucks." I just don't like it. It...

    What do you hate seeing in stories?

    Er, well yeah. I mean people that are frustrated in love using the fiction as a medium to express their suppressed feelings being the cause of the "i love you i love you lets kiss okay i love you they walked a few miles i love you" thing that Gothitelle mentioned. Romantic fic > bad romantic...

    What do you hate seeing in stories?

    Oi, too much there to reply to when I am already as long-winded as I am. If you had understood perfectly, you would have understood that I, at least, was not/am not under the impression that this is a prevalent theme, merely something that turns me off of romance fics... And again, I dislike...

    What do you hate seeing in stories?

    Sorry, you misunderstood, Valentine. That was my fault for not quoting the post I was replying to, which was Gothitelle's (durr I said Valentine's the first time, can you tell I haven't slept in a few days?). Her complaint was, similarly, about those that in lieu of a plot have the characters...

    Writer's Block

    In addition to the above, a preposterous, possibly toxic, amount of caffeine has aided me immensely in the past. When I write, it is not typically fanfiction. I think a large part of "writer's block" is self-limitation, which comes from only writing about a certain subject or in a certain...

    What do you hate seeing in stories?

    I've got a theory, see like, I've got a theory about shipping fics and the overproliferation of gushy "I love you"s and shows of affection in lieu of plot. If magic is all... Nah I can't do it. Anyway, the point I intended to get to is that people seem to use the medium as a channel for...

    [Pokémon] Coriolanus Rowland's Guide to Pokémon Husbandry

    Oh, Cutlerine. This is why you are my hero- You are basically me, and who better to be my hero than me? This is a rather interesting piece. It reminds me of a piece I read on... I want to say FFA, in which the authour was going through each Pokemon from the beginning and writing in-depth...

    Mechanics of Comedic Prose

    I just realized I said "in general" twice in the sentence about Dave and spelled "some" as "come." Don't post on forty hours awake to three of sleep, kids. This is a reasonably good point to bring up. It's often poorly-executed, though, I guess because it's so easy and exploitable, and thus...

    Mechanics of Comedic Prose

    Ah, Uncyc. I've had some Wilde times there over the years. Anyway, the one overbearing rule here (other than what you will find in said Uncyclopedia article, which I recall being rather accurate in most regards) is to always- er, never- Force your humour. If you look for a joke and you aren't...

    Cartoon,Video Game, and Internet Meme Refferences in Hacks

    ...Reading these replies, it looks like the general understanding of memetics here is rather low. It's true there's some really poor memes that started where most Internet memes start and then ended up all over Tumblr because (no offense to Tumblr users) Tumblr likes stupid crap, and there's a...

    If I could turn back time...

    To always keep no less than three backups of the same rom at the same time on each machine, and when I back it up overwrite two of them with the new version while leaving the third in case I screwed something up. Hacking for four years, just figured this out like two months ago.

    Cartoon,Video Game, and Internet Meme Refferences in Hacks

    Internet memes are a no-go, unless I guess they are ironically outdated ones (such as all your base) and/or/preferably subtle, to the point that someone not looking for it wouldn't catch it. Using the term noobs in DP went too far for me, and that was an official game. Pop culture references...

    Development: The 4th gen class split in 3rd gen

    Hey, good to see you back. I didn't work on this like I said I would because some pretty serious real-life stuff came up (and is still up), but I will get to it when I get to it, if someone doesn't get there first.

    First and latest ROM hack you played?

    What was the first ever ROM hack you ever played? Quartz. Second was Ruby Destiny: Reign of Legends, though, or I might not have played another. :p What was the latest hack you have played? Was it fun? Er... It was either Snakewood or Prism. In either case, yes, very.
