Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

I worked on Magical girl a little bit today, will do some more tomorrow. And reading the classic's is always fun because you can see how certain tropes and ideas are evolving in real time.
Reading Robinson Crusoe and seeing how it basically pioneered the island survival genre was pretty cool too. So many tropes, from lack of water, lack of tools, getting hunted by some unknown creature at night only to discover its a deer, isolation causing the MC to make little figurines and idols, building a half broken raft and risking it out in the sea to escape. Really cool stuff.
Although the original title of the book was something like the autobiography of the many famed adventures of Robinson Crusoe. But the name got shortened for obvious reasons. It was written all the way back in 1719 and is basically one of the first modern novels.
Would you hear of Isla, daughter of Jorm the stalwart knight. He who's a compassionate errant paladin trying to better a world stuck in a cycle of war. While his daughter in her ambition dooms and scars her friends.
