Approaching Horror
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 8, 2020
Though I am certainly no stranger to handling the horrific in my creations, horror as a genre is something I never dabbled in before.
Horror scares me the same way comedy does!

A Character's Free Will
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 20, 2020
Whether we have free will or not is a philosophical, existential and psychological conundrum that will forever tease and challenge us. While I can't speak for philosophers, I can for psychologists:

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, June 15, 2020
The Drunk Duck Awards are accepting For Your Consideration (FYC) submissions.
I want to know how you characters have been coping over the past year. What did they do last year in lieu of the awards (we didn't have them last year)? Or do they have their own tips ...
