It's a strange thing in recent years that following the behind-the-scenes craziness and
mixed-disastrous results of modern franchises is far more interesting and entertaining than anything in the movies and shows themselves.
Now that the fandoms, including those who enjoy the new chapters of beloved franchises, hate them, or ...

Pretty Boy Badass
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 14, 2021
When this guy appears for a fight, there are eyerolls or scoffing sounds. The opponents start smirking and giggling, taunting and goading him because he's dressed to the nines. Or maybe he's got a very intricate hairstyle that takes hours to get just right. Or perhaps he has ...
Reanimating creativity with a one-shot
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Aug. 13, 2021
The beauty of writing a one-shot or short story is that it is self contained. It is a stand alone creative piece that gives you license to play with a new writing style, drawing aesthetic or explore a level of detail you may not be able to sustain over a ...
More Than Human
Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 12, 2021
Ideas both big and deep can - and has - been explored in Sci Fi. Some themes that have resonated with me include ‘What it Means to be Human’. This could be said to be the point of ALL fiction in a way I suppose. But to explore humanity through the lens ...

The Torture of Watching
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 7, 2021
Greece is burning, as I'm writing these lines.
There is fire everywhere, and it's only getting worse. It's probably going to extinguish itself in the sea, when it gets there, in all areas, from central Greece to Attica to Euboia. The ecological disaster is enormous. The consequences ...

A Dimension Not Only of Sight and Sound but of Mind
Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 5, 2021
When he created the Twilight Zone, Rod Serling was motivated by the desire to tell more meaningful stories. In his writing career up to then, his work had been heavily censored.
Serling realized that by setting his stories in fantastical situations, in alternate or futuristic versions of Earth, that he ...
