    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    Oof, yeah, the novelization... I think most of my problems with BG3 ultimately stems from the fact that it's a Baldur's Gate game beholden to said canon, and that all of the cool characters have grown old and somewhat useless (or dead). You are really good at actually writing competent...

    Dreams of Tomorrow (Worm/Supergirl)

    Wow, Amy's deeply unpleasant, extremely hypocritical and more than just a little deranged, which is completely in character. Good job! Now I wonder how the Simurgh fight will go, and I hope it won't lean too heavily on WoG and have her explode with the force of sixteen million galaxies or...

    Your avatar vs the one above you

    Unless those are laser eyes, zebra's got this. Fighting an equine is scary, a single hoof to the dome and you're an ex-person.

    Would you bang the avatar above you?

    Probably not, unless the avatar is secretly two hot chicks in a trench coat. Or one, I'm not picky, numbers-wise.

    Learning other languages so you can read more fanfics?

    To be fair, if you open one of those links, your browser will probably allow you to translate those, so if you pretend any awkward bits in the translations are instead profound idioms, you could have a good time even without knowing the language.

    The Sharp End (Shadowrun)

    I'll be honest, if I didn't trust you to write interesting stuff, I'd suspect this story would see the MC immediately defect and pick up a trenchcoat, katana and a lot of anti-corpo angst, since that's been my experience with corpo MCs previously. Cyberpunk doesn't have to start with the burnt...

    The Sharp End (Shadowrun)

    I enjoyed this story, but it did seem somewhat atypical. Sometimes, that's just what you need to get the creative juices flowing, other times the creative juices just run out. So long as you just write for enjoyment, and don't make a living writing books, I totally get just switching tracks when...

    The Sharp End (Shadowrun)

    Encrypted and secure tactical subnets are already possible, but frankly it's really hard to add any visual element to the view of a soldier that aids their tactical understanding instead of hindering it. I think one of the first things we'll see would be shared reference points and target...

    Our Teacher is a Devil (Youjo Senki x BNHA)

    Icy Hot? Freezerburn? Hot'n'Cold, Yes-then-No, In-then-Out, Up-then-Down? No, wait. That's the Katy Perry song.

    I, Panacea (Worm SI Fanfic)

    I got the impression that the 10kV was the "stand up faster!"-button, not the kill switch.

    An Expansive Forge (Celestial Forge V3/The Expanse.)

    Yeah, I think a big part of the difficulty of suddenly getting +1 companion is that in individual CYOAs, you select them and they get introduced in the "prologue" or soon after, in an organic fashion, while here you suddenly have a techpriest in a magical garden, with no idea how she got there.

    What’s the policy for advocating violence?

    So, I believe that there could be several ways of breaking forum rules by advocating violence. The obvious example of "punch a nazi" would probably fall under rule 8, I believe, while "you are a nazi, someone should punch you" would probably fall under rule 1 for being hateful. "X is a nazi...

    Dreams of Tomorrow (Worm/Supergirl)

    Yeah, we just expect a different flavour of insanity and a zero tolerance for the conversation derailing into politics, which is just how we like it.

    Dreams of Tomorrow (Worm/Supergirl)

    Nice! Might be a little light on responses if you are crossposting, but I thought I'd trawl through some of Creative Writing on QQ as well, so here you go. Minor niggle, plural means the suffix "-s" without ', and I think I saw "nazi's" somewhere in there where it should have been "nazis"...

    The Strange Talent of Taylor Hebert

    Really promising story, you've got me hooked. Also, I thought the Hercules method was having Zeus as a father...
