This is an area of writing that I'm woefully unfamiliar with. I've had this paranoia ingrained on me that if I share anything of mine - stories, drawings, etc. - it'll get snatched away. Maybe by peers, maybe by potential publishers. But I want to learn how the system really works, not just some...

I'm a bit torn on how to present the story I'm working on. While I see a lot of advice for writing larger novels, I'm actually interested in the possibility of a series of shorter, more episodic books. Is there a way that's more likely to sell? Maybe writing a novel-length story, seeing how that...

The movies can be enjoyable, but I'd prefer if they did something a little more Trek-inspired instead of upping the action each installment. Maybe the Enterprise can try to prevent a war with the Klingons that the last movie hinted at.

So, I've never actually played this series (old PC games intimidate me). My exposure comes from The Spoony Experiment's series of videos covering each game in the series. It's basically the prototype series for the RPG genre, and it's impressive how much thought went into elements like moral...

My first exposure was through DBZ Kai, up through the Cell arc. It was entertaining, though yeah, it does drag (I can't imagine how bad the original version's filler was). I love DBZ Abridged. "Consider yourself beef jerky while I'm Filet Mignon." "Ooh, I like both those things!" "...I'm going...

Starcrash!

I'm more curious than excited. There's so much Star Wars media out there that it's hard for me to really get hyped about one project.

Saw it at the drive-in with my brother. We both loved it! It's a refreshingly fun and exciting movie.

Interesting responses so far. I'll admit, I'm probably not qualified to write realistic sci-fi, but I've noticed even within certain works, people argue about which elements are/aren't "realistic". For instance in Star Trek, everyone accepts things like artificial gravity, FTL, and humanoid...

This is something that I think a lot about when creating a world. Personally I enjoy soft sci-fi series like Doctor Who and Farscape. But sometimes I get into arguments with myself about how much realism to inject into what's essentially a space opera. It might seem like a broad question, but...

Call A Rabbit A Smeerp Call A Smeerp A Rabbit

I'm thinking of getting a BD drive just so I can watch the Bluray sets. I need to get caught up, esp. on Season 2. Did I mention I like the show?

It's not my favorite out of the Ghibli movies, but it's still not bad (I watched the English dub, BTW)

This showed up on TV yesterday afternoon. My brother and I went MST3K on it.

Really liked this movie, just cause it's a relief from the big-budget scifi crap. My friend hates it, though.

Michael Keaton. After him, Adam West because...well, Adam West. Bale's hoarse yelling is distracting, but he's not terrible.

My perfectionism is why it takes me so long to write a first draft. That, and 20 years of untreated ADD.

Multipass?

Helps a lot, actually. I'm looking to make a plausible SF world, even if it's occasionally broken up by humanoid aliens and FTL travel. There are real threats, the heroes are just kind of, well, numb. Actually, I should probably be looking to some "dramedy" shows, like Monk for a clue on the...

Nostalgia Critic did a good montage of the top hidden jokes in Animaniacs. "Yakko, can you conjugate?" "Who, me? Why! I've never even kissed a girl!" "No, it's simple, I'll show you." [@ the audience] "Goodnight, everybody!"
