Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Jan. 25, 2022The Message in Stories
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 15, 2022
There is no story without a theme. Even when written without anything prepared in terms of a message, a story will always give people things to think about and messages drawn from how the story was set up and how it was resolved (if at all).
So I don't ...

The Problem With Kid Dialogue
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 4, 2021
Often when there are children in a cast of characters, especially in sitcoms or certain types of movies, audiences groan because they tend to be immensely annoying. They are a very special type of uncanny valley in the way they are written to talk and react. Usually, we get one ...

Hair is very important- the way we wear it is a form of self expression, a canvas for artistic exploration, and shorthand for who we are or want to be. This significance carries over even more in fiction and especially visual arts like webcomics, cartoons, and movies.
How a character ...
Snow Days
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 11, 2021
Snow changes everything. The entire environment is completely different, and the minute-to-minute operations of life become more complicated and troublesome.

One of my ...

When are sequels and prequels great to do? What makes a great sequel or prequel?
I believe a lot of us think about expanding our stories, whether it’s in the form of a sequel or a prequel ...
