@rae Actually, Star Wars is a fantasy. Just set in space. The line between fantasy and science fiction is very, very blurred.

I like your original ideas for Guardian Angels better. But if you really want it to be fantasy-type and there be no sci-fi whatsoever, go ahead and do that, it’s your story.

Also, you really don’t need to have philo…[Read more]

@rae thank you, I only recently found out about it and it shocked me.

@rae

Nice to see a post from you!

The genre was sci-fi, but I’m thinking of swapping genres to fantasy.

Hmmm.

I like it when people give me opinionated answers, so that’s what I’ll do here. I don’t think you should change it to fantasy unless you really, really want to. You’ve only brought up two (maybe three?) reasons to change it, and they’…[Read more]

@loopylin

Oof. I see how it is. (Just kidding lol)

Wait, is your WIP sci-fi? I thought it was fantasy for whatever reason. Btw, when I said that, I was specifically thinking of Chuck Black’s Nova. I never got past the first chapter.

Interesting you mention bulletproof armor, as the Realn famously wear bulletproof armor. The Nanians don’t, but I…[Read more]

Ok wait. There’s no robots in Nausicaa. But there is genetic engineering kinda? That part’s vague. There is also a character with a mechanical prosthetic arm.

ok im going to bed now

Also, also, there’s a character in Nausicaa named Master Yupa, who’s famous and respected throughout the land for being a master swordsman, and he is so cool. This movie is actually like my all time favorite. It is taking so much self control to not keep rambling about it right now.

King Vorgan is a humanoid spider creature. In the sci-fi version he is the leader of a hivemind type of bug-alien race called the Nanians who are at war with my Realn. However, everyone does hiveminds (as I have learned) in sci-fi. Plus, the Nanians are originally only strength in numbers against my Realn who are strength in skill. the Nanians…

@rae

Yes, some sci-fi stories don’t explore these ideas, but I don’t find those enjoyable at all personally to read.

Oof. I see how it is. (Just kidding lol)

In my mind, there isn’t really much of a difference between fantasy and sci-fi, but I get why you’re struggling to decide between them.

The one suggestion I can think of right now is to…[Read more]

@theducktator

hehe yeah I love strange, slightly unhinged writer protagonists. And I can see how that’d be helpful

@keilah-h

Oof, that’s rough. Will pray!

@elishavet-pidyon

Whoa, that sounds really interesting. Thanks for sharing!

@loopylin

Thank you! I have added you to the Notion workspace! Please look through the pages I have on there.

I’ve drawn lying down on the floor before. My shoulders usually start to hurt pretty quickly in that position though. I usually have my ipad in my lap and I just kinda curl around it.

@linus-smallprint whoops I forgot. Just sent a request

@loopylin

For some reason, now I’m tempted to try drawing in that position, ha ha.

Personally, I find I draw better if I’m lying down on the floor than sitting at a desk. My dad has never understood that.

The links were posted earlier in this forum.

@loopylin @elishavet-pidyon

Just checking, did you both see the thing about Notion and the place to share the email address you use to sign up so that I can add you to the project?

@mineralizedwritings Thank you!
