My hearing was not in my surroundings but somewhere else.
I could hear a wailing turning to howling. Howling turning to roaring.
My mind stepping ajar into a place previously unsensored. Uncharted, Unamed. Unknown.
I am the creatureless feature of a parallell seizure, persisting the law for a self-procedure
That ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 16, 2024
Sometimes it may feel that the justice system protects the perpetrator a lot more than it does the victim:
There are many things an accused can use to mitigate their position, there are many reasons to shorted a sentence, they can get out on good behavior, they can generally serve ...
Front and Back
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 14, 2024
I'm not sure if I've written a post about this already, but an interesting thing we have to think about sometimes with comics is how to make the characters, the foreground, stand out from the background.
Here are my notions on that:
- using human natural ability and instinct ...

Love languages
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 19, 2024
Love is an evasive concept to pin down. Everyone acts like they know what it is, but few can discern whether they're actually experiencing it. A lot of fiction and movies are to blame for that, since they often label as love toxic relationships, stalking, or even outright abuse ...
The Horror Protagonist
Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 10, 2024
I was watching The Dead Zone again the other week, and thought that Johnny Smith might be the perfect horror Protagonist.
This movie, and the Stephen King book it's based on, might be a little bit under the radar; I'm not sure how well known it is in ...
The Many Faces of Fear
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Oct. 5, 2024
Hello there my fellow Quackernauts! As it’s the spooky season, what better time is there to explore one of my favourite genres, horror. Horror is many things, but at its core it’s intention is to challenge the human mind; to remind us that, despite all our attempts to ...
Time to Double Check!

The Red Carpet submissions have not only closed but …*drumroll* …
The group shots are already ready! I'm ahead of my game for a change!
However as I was making the group shots I came across completely by chance (fortunately) of a CASUAL submission entry that had been sent to ...
Revenge

We love a good revenge story.
The entire journey of a character from victimhood to avenger is one that almost guarantees audience engagement and their rooting for the character on the path of revenge.
The reasoning for that is easy: the character suffered a great grievance that is unlikely to ...
