  1. Just google "The Terrible fanfiction idea generator" and hit the first link. Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Doom and Pokemon. The story should use being in prison as a plot device! Hm... have a legendary pokemon die in a prison run by team rocket, which opens a gate to hell. Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Mortal Kombat and Samurai Jack. The story should use a plague as a plot device! Shang Tsung's incentive for Jack to participate is the cure to a plague that's killing people in the bad future. Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining ER andBuffy the Vampire Slayer. The story should use a plot to reanimate Hitler as a plot device! Hahaha, that kind of writes itself. This is actually pretty fun!
  2. I'm good with 4th wall breaks. I don't hate poorly-done breaks any more than I hate poorly-done anything.
  3. I concur with pretty much everything Balcerzak said. For most sleep troubles, my first suggestion is always be to become consistent (wake up at the same time every day, and enter bed at the same time every day). But since you said years, I'd recommend more investigation. Perhaps there's an underlying cause? See your physician.
  4. I usually hate second-hand smoke but I'd ignore it in Rudra's case. lol @ Aizenberg, "Wha, what's that? You just want to be tucked into bed normally? Well fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you!" Be sure to also lock/double-check your drawers, bookshelves and wastepaper bins for valuables. Nothing is sacred to jrpg heroes.
  5. Both of those videos are amazing lmao
  6. They're acceptable when you see some of the other crazy things people put on their pizza. Like nutella. The day I saw that on a sauce & cheese pizza was the day I learned true despair.
  7. Canadian here. I went to India as a kid and wasn't a fan. Japan might be fun, but mostly I think I'm fine with staying here. It's all about the people you surround yourself with, anyway.
  8. Feel free to experiment how you want. My 2 cents are that long-term diet changes (i.e. remove junk, add fruits) powerfully trump short term diets. Also, 800 Calories is too low in almost any possible situation. I'd not do what you're doing, but then again, it's your body.
  9. Foolish sheeple willingly embracing the shackles the media and pop culture forge to misguide you. Coffee is laced with mind-control drugs! ... That make you more mentally active. Hmm. No source for me =/
  10. Nah, I liked it, and I'm as standard a dude as you can get. Well said.
  11. Vanguard master class. If anyone disagree's they're too casual to have opinions worth caring about anyway, so dw. And welcome to SF bro female bro. ... There's got to be an easier term for that. Sis? But that doesn't convey the same manliness. Bah.
  12. Came here to say this. 300 hours of anything that's not either (a) getting regular updates or (b) is insanely customizable by default is gonna get stale fast. Or slowly, rather.
  13. While I enjoy schadenfreude as much as the next man, swatting someone who isn't expecting it is dangerous. Nice to see Kootra completely kept his cool. @Raven: The NSA has a few open positions you might be interested in...
  14. I text almost exactly the same way I type online, though I too don't add periods at the end of texts, like so
  15. It`s soul-draining, man. *group lament* Way easier to maintain it than to restore it, good on you.
  16. The hell? They can't tell you what you're feeling. If you're feeling normal and just having fun and you're not feeling desperate, let them say whatever they want to say, 'cuz they're wrong anyway. No biggie. Trust your own judgement over theirs. And WRT the whole introvert/ extrovert thing, I think as a society we're past the whole introversion-is-bad thing. It's possible to not get excited at the idea of conversations and social situations, but still be good at it anyway. Edit for capitalization because that`s how I am.
  17. I dunno, probably depends on where you are in the world. I'm kind of back and forth on this because I'm not sure what counts as a relationship that gives emotional development. Like, a clear-cut example of a guy with a relationship for emotional development is Ender in Ender's Game, whose relationship with his siblings affects his way of thinking a lot even when he's not talking to them. He hates his bully of an older brother, so he tries not to fight other people and hates himself when he acts aggressively. He loves his sister, and that changes stuff, too. Does Harry Potter count, though? I've always thought of HP as more "interacting" with people when they're in front of him. He has a fixed personality that doesn't really change due to any of his relationships. No character development for him, just character relations. If that's what you mean by not having relationships for emotional development, I suppose I agree. Are female characters more likely to be like Ender over Harry Potter, though? I wouldn't know, 'cuz just about everything I read has male characters as central characters. Then again, most people in real life probably don't have emotional development that was (obviously) built because of specific relationships anyway, so maybe this shouldn't be considered weird at all. Unless I misinterpreted what your friend meant.
  18. *shudder* Newspaper jobs. The work-to-pay ratio is not worth it at all. Fix'd. Just apply to places, don't worry too much about it. A lot of hiring decisions are whimsical, anyway. Yoloswag.
  19. Not having to commute is god-like. Enjoy it while you've got it.
  20. When you say you want a character who draws her strength from her femininity, I interpret that as you saying: I want a woman whose characterization would fail if I switched her to a male. Most well-developed characters can be switched from male to female (or female to male) and keep almost all their characterization intact. As Venari said: It`s easy and it works. I'd advise you forget about thinking of your character specifically as female and just do this. If you insist on having a character who would only work as a female, though... You need to know what's going to be different between males and females in your story (Disclaimer: stereotyping). For example, young females deal with more psychological bullying and fake-niceness-with-malicious-intent than boys. In Worm (a great online story), this idea is used to develop Taylor Hebert, the protagonist. She's bullied a lot by 2 popular, pretty girls, who humiliate her in front of other students. The bullies are sweet in front of teachers and known as good students, though, so they get away with it. Taylor's hate of her bullies defines a good amount of her early game personality and makes her feel real. IMO, psychological bullying would still work if the main character was male, it just wouldn't work as well. Since psychological bullying is more related to females over males, that's an example of when using a female character is better. Or, if you don't want to be subtle, you can have your female character: 1) Have a father who was disappointed she wasn't a boy --> low self-esteem for your protagonist. 2) Live in a society where women are supposed to be meek and quiet. If your character is naturally opinionated, you have a character who will often want to say something, but doesn't because she knows it won't reflect well on her. Her inner conflict when thinking about "do I speak or not" is good characterization, though.
  21. I get more protein from the bread I use as a base instead of the actual peanut butter. Doesn't stop me from having it every morning and every night.
