Geniuses with issues.

@grcr That scene was so good! I was completely locked in after the first couple sentences. The world building with the understaffed police department is really interesting. I want to read more.

@whalekeeper

eh….

@elishavet-pidyon

I didn’t murder any children *mutters darkly* he was seventeen.

lolol, love those.

@elishavet-pidyon

which WIP was that?!?!

@loopylin

lol, makes me laugh! XD

(Note to myself to read this later when it is not 2 am)

No one will understand it, but it makes me giggle

Here’s an out of context meme for a possible plot point in my story :]

@elishavet-pidyon

hehe I just finished rereading the part of the role play with the sleeves. XD Those memes are great.

@whalekeeper

Opiniated answers was what I was looking for, thx!

Thank you so much, I enjoyed your reply, and it definitely helped straighten my mind out. Now I’m working on fixing the plot, still set in sci-fi but with some of the fantasy elements that I liked, and advice from others.

On the scary part, the thing that terrifies me to the core…[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]

@rae

also, glad you are going back into this. I liked it a lot.

@rae

Why don’t you just mix them. Take what you like from fantasy and take what you like from Sci-fi and do a sci-fi fantasy. You could even set it in a sci-fi type world, yet have fantasy creatures, (like the Slyiads, which I personally like as the villians because they really do seem to fit the bill.) It does feel like it needs to be sci-fi,…[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
