Supers VS Guns
I mean, military fiction is an entire genre unto itself, with literally tens of thousands of published novels. There's enough of them that there's sub-genres and sub-sub-genres. Admittedly it's not as common in fanfiction or online fiction, but it's a huge thing. A huge thing. Unless you... -
Supers VS Guns
If I'm looking for actual statistics to post in an argument, I generally just use FBI crime data. It's... probably the best out there, even if it's a bit of a hassle to wade through sometimes. Especially if you want to get really granular and find data for specific weapons. The information is... -
Supers VS Guns
I didn't limit myself to just 9mm. It was an example, but by no means was I implying that it was the only calibre that matters. It is, however, by far and away the most-used cartridge by both criminals and law enforcement, and as such we have the best data on it. Frankly the sample size... -
How to make my stories not be cringe?
Those are two different things. Having confidence in your writing is simple. Write a lot, and I mean a lot, then get your writing out there. Publish it for an audience. Post in writing forums and ask for C&C. Pay attention to the feedback you get, though don't necessarily take everything to... -
Supers VS Guns
Yeah, the whole 'insanity as a superpower' thing has been used with him a number of times. Sometimes literally. Sometimes to an excessive degree. -
Supers VS Guns
Because that shifts the entire conversation away from the question of 'are guns a reasonable defense against capes' and onto a much larger issue of how capes are treated systemically. Which, by the way, is a shift that you yourself decided on. That wasn't the original question asked of the... -
Supers VS Guns
Says who? I mean, in what possible world does the fact that most soldiers never hit another human being (while most capes do) not have a bearing on the discussion of guns versus superpowers? As far as I can see it's one of the big, central issues of the topic. I mean this sincerely and... -
Supers VS Guns
And most soldiers never hit anyone they're shooting at. Not even once in their entire career. It's why having a confirmed kill is such a big deal. Because most don't. Even those that see regular combat don't. The ratio of hits to shots fired in combat is like 1:2000. It is a ridiculously... -
Supers VS Guns
While that's true, I think that my opinion is based on significantly stronger evidence than yours. I'm talking about firearms in practice. How they're actually used, and what their actual effects are in real life incidents, not on the range. I'm certainly not trying to downplay them. You... -
Supers VS Guns
If that was true, we'd see a lot more people using them effectively. Instead what we see in real life is a lot of people missing a lot of shots, and a lot of shots that do hit being non-fatal injuries. How many times do we see stories in the news of injured suspects fleeing the scene? How... -
Supers VS Guns
People often have some very, very skewed ideas of what guns are commonly able to accomplish. I mostly blame SB-style logic, looking at the technical specifications of a firearm and assuming that has any bearing on how they function in practice. A 9mm bullet fired from a handgun is dangerous at... -

I'd like to get back to writing, and Wet would be my first choice to write if I can, but sadly my job doesn't leave me with much energy for it. So not dead, but maybe in a coma.- Connamer

I appreciate the offer, but I usually post a chapter immediately after writing it. I don't hold on to them and wait for edits. Generally just a quick spell-check is all I do.- Connamer

I'm busy writing Wet right now, though Cheer is one of the fics I'd like to go back to at some point. Not sure if I'd want to edit it first or just complete it. I only planned out seven chapters for it, in the end.- Connamer

I really do want to go back and finish Hooked some time. Of course I'm also thinking of another new story right now, so who knows if or when it'd actually happen.- Connamer
