Recently I have been revisiting a sitcom that I used to love but, funnily enough, never finished. The last season of the show dropped during a hectic period of my life and by the time I had, well time, to watch it, I had lost the plot. But thanks to ...

New Year's Eve Thoughts
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 31, 2022
It's customary during the final days of a year to do resolutions for the next one or overviews of what happened in the one that's ending.
Even if we buck the system, we kinda do think back and ahead, especially during New Year's Eve, don't we ...
The 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 ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 1, 2022
It's 2022! Can you believe it?
WE SURVIVED!
Here's to more surviving for 2022, and hopefully, down the line, we can start living!
There's a tradition of making lists of new year's resolutions every season when the year changes. And I'm not going to tell ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 9, 2021
So often, the story doesn't simply have one plot, but many.
There's the A plot, the one that's the main conflict or problem that needs solving. Then there's the B plot, where secondary but still-important issues and problems are being addressed. And often there can even ...

A few new generation consoles were released at the end of last year, yet the need to replace or update any gaming systems currently plugged into the television never came up. Chalk it up to old fashioned, old school preferences. However, a dusty box stacked with several original Playstation and ...

Hang on! It's a cliffhanger!
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, March 19, 2021
As webcomics are uploaded periodically, be that in pages, chapters or episodes, it’s imperative that we use all the tricks in the book to keep them coming back. One sure fire way to keep your readers coming back for more is by exploiting the cliffhanger device.
A cliffhanger is ...
Setting goals in 2021
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 1, 2021
It’s 2021 everyone. Somehow we made it to the end of a strange and often heart wrenching year but we did it. We hit many milestones, particularly on Drunkduck. We now have the lowest amount of spam ever on the site, the anthology is coming along, the Quackchat is ...
