I am not a perfectionist in any sense of the word. I have been asked by strangers in passing if I was a perfectionist to which I replied, “The architecture in my university was built under the notion that only ‘God can make something that is ...

Pit's massive gaping rut

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, July 17, 2016

Side Characters

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, May 26, 2016


*Colin and Betty from Pinky TA

When you write a big long story that goes over many chapters and arcs, things tend to evolve, grow and expand quite a bit outside of what you originally envisaged. What I'm talking about here are side characters- These are people that may ...

HippieVan at 12:00AM, April 22, 2016

Genejoke recently had the excellent idea that the tutorials ...

Banes at 12:00AM, April 14, 2016



When independent movies became big in the 1990's, there was the sudden realization that a lot of flaws could be forgiven in visuals, acting, and production value when the story being told was original or compelling. They could still be effective and popular…sometimes with massive numbers of people ...
