When Work Becomes Overwhelming

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 26, 2022



So you may not have noticed but I have missed an update on WM.

It was hard telling myself not to pull a double all-nighter ...

Banes at 12:00AM, March 24, 2022



To be honest, I didn't really want to talk about The Book of Boba Fett or Star Wars again in this post.

But nothing else is coming to mind at the moment, and this show has been on my mind, so here we are again!

Scientific Magic

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, March 20, 2022



I talked last Sunday about science engaging with the supernatural in fiction and the worldbuilding stuff that can be generated from that. In this article I’m going to talk about the opposite end of that spectrum. The supernatural engaging with science. This is where I bring up Alchemy. Now ...

The Medium is the Message

Banes at 12:00AM, March 17, 2022

On Censorship

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 12, 2022



So I'm exhausted today, at the end of a very eventful week and a lot of work piled on work.

When do we have censorship appear in stories ...
