I've fixed the youtube link in Show, Don't Tell Sorry about that. It's fast fowarded to the more revelent items as gender diversity is easy to approach.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Honestly, I didn't think of using a picture as a reference, and seems like a pretty good idea.

So this may sound strange. But I <3 titrations! Overall, my favourite labs were Org chem labs - because at the end of every lab, we'd get a fine powder (always different substance though, based on whatever we're learning). We'd let them cool for a week or something (?) and come back to the lab afterwards, take our samples to the next room over and do mass spectrometry (I think? I forget what it was called) and had to analyze the results we got from that.

Coincidentally, most of my physics lab partners were foreign students, too. And damn, nice! Was it a MC test, if it took you that short?

Well, I never found biology to be hard but rather VERY time consuming, hence why I used the word grueling :(
The chem courses I took were (for the most part) fun, and not time consuming (at least the write up part)
Another bad biology memory, is most of my labs were 4+ hours. and all my lab partners happened to be unorganized and plan-oriented people. :(

Nowadays, to say that I know something of Advanced Chemistry may be a bit of a stretch (I haven't been to Uni in a few years now) and I only took a couple of Chemistry-based coruses. Although throughout highschool and Uni, I did love chemistry!

I don't know if I ever foudn chem to be 'grueling', or at least not nearly to the degree that bio was. *shudders*

Funny story about PhysChem, I decided to not take it in University, and later ended up taking a Nanoscience course where PhysChem was highyl recommended as a prerequisite. One of my roommates however did take PhysChem, and let me her textbook. I came home one day to find said textbook arrived on my bed... with a steak knife ontop of it.

So I wasn't expecting to be busy yesterday, so I didn't get a chance to read those chapters or write a review. But I'll take my time reviewing them so you can get a decent review!

Hella. :> That's still on my to-read list, along with a number of other things here.

C'est la vie, I suppose. Everything's got its potential drawbacks.

It does, I suppose. Though seeking a second opinion on the matter raised an interesting point: doing so in-thread can help foster a sense of community. Which makes sense, now that I think about it; active threads keep the ff&w board from looking as much like a ghost town as it might otherwise.

I also can't help but reckon that an outsider to the thread, coming in and seeing a writer who doesn't engage their readers, might think the author doesn't care about their audience and get discouraged from leaving a review themselves. It might not occur to them to check the reviewers' profiles for responses.

Out of curiosity, where can I find that definition? Thus far, everywhere I've looked (e.g. here) has given me much the opposite.

Anyway, I don't really mind if my thread is cluttered. Especially if it's cluttered with discussion about the story itself. As such, I say feel free to reply to my replies in the thread itself if you'd like and if the mods also say it's a-ok. :>

Ello! You may or may not have noticed that I've recently posted a fanfiction. I noticed that you were doing the review challenge, so I came to ask if you were willing to read my fanfiction and give your opinions on it. It will help me in how I write future installments. The fanfiction is called Dream Link Online, and as of the first episode (two chapters) the fanfiction is around 18k words. Not sure if that's a bit on the lengthy side for you, but I digress. Thank you! :)

I added you to the Venice Skype group. I was planning to do it when we would be online at the same time, but you don't seem to be very active on it, haha. Anyway, you're added now.

What's up? :D

Hi there xD

Ah, I guess I misunderstood. That's what happens when I try to reply when I'm falling asleep at my desk. Also, you've mentioned worldbuilding - any tips for that as well?

Indeed. Love and Other Nightmares is pretty much experimental for me in every way, or at least, it's all out of my comfort zone. So I'll just keep writing and see what happens. :)

Nah, Annie doesn't quite need a Mr. Happen. I never quite have morally clean characters either - it's just not realistic, in my opinion, to have someone who's completely flawless, or even close to it.

I've considered the time limit idea before, though I'm not sure what kind of time limit to use yet, or if I'll do something else entirely. It's certainly workable and wouldn't seem too far-fetched to introduce to an up-to-date reader, though.

Hmm. Changing the prologue to the extent you'd probably want me to change it would require a bigger rewrite than I'm willing to put in at this moment, but I did just get a few ideas, reading that. I do agree, so that rewrite will happen... someday... :P
