Guest Post by Kroatz - How I'll Spend my Weekend
HippieVan at 12:00AM, April 3, 2015
I’m going to wake up, I’m quite sure of that. I’ve woken up many times before, and I currently have no real interest in changing that habit. So, first I am going to sleep, have some dangerous and weird adventures that I will either forget or repress ...
Spring Cleaning!
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, March 30, 2015
It is finally Spring in many parts of the world. It is actually Summer in some of the luckier parts and it is still snowing in certain regions (apologies Northeastern United States). Whatever the case, this is the time of year that people like to throw away old stuff and ...

Forum Restructure and Fashion Free-For-All
HippieVan at 12:00AM, March 13, 2015
The DD forums have been pretty unwieldy for ages now - we have WAY more sub-forums than we need. JustNoPoint made an excellent suggestion to consolidate them into a smaller number of broader forums. We've been discussing the change in this thread without any objections so far, so I went ...
Avoiding the Mary Sue (+ a contest!)
HippieVan at 12:00AM, March 6, 2015
This newspost was inspired by this week's Quackcast on testing your writing and knowing your characters. In the comments, KimLuster posted a Mary Sue test and discussed her annoyance in finding that one of her characters scored highly.
So what is a Mary Sue? Everyone sort of knows one ...
