    Who's the first to come to mind when I say - Villain?

    But all he wants to do is spread love

    Stuck with my plot - need ideas

    Does it have to be the air that will kill the aliens? Here's a couple more ideas off the top of my head: There is something out there that will attack the aliens, but not a human. Maybe the aliens are in the food chain to a type of animal. Maybe there are robots out there programmed to attack...

    Alien: The Coloring Book

    It's no more bonkers than the Aliens toy line that coincided with the film

    Doctor Who; The Church on Ruby Road (Christmas Special 2023)

    Individual authors could certainly write for themselves. Hence the Sunmakers was made because the writer hated taxes, and the prolific environmental stories of the Pertwee era.

    Doctor Who; The Church on Ruby Road (Christmas Special 2023)

    RTD Christmas specials are usually fluffier than his normal fare, so we weren't expecting high drama for this one. I was slightly disappointed we didn't go full Labyrinth, and Davina McCall seemed to take up more of the episode than was needed - I mean, why would she randomly ask a guest if she...

    A few brief High Fantasy Dialogue Lines...

    Pratchett toned down the accents for the Tiffany Aching books - it might be interesting to read one of those, then read Carpe Jugulum, compare the accents, and see what you prefer.

    Doctor Who; The Wild Blue Yonder ( 60th Anniversary Special 2)

    I thought this one was OK, but the mystery was better than the resolution for me. It occurred to me not long after watching that . Unfortunately realising that kinda put a downer on this episode.

    What Game Are You Currently Playing?

    I've just finished Sea of Stars... I think. Of late I have a hard time trusting end credits. It's a fun, fairly easy retro-style JRPG the can be finished fairly quickly so it doesn't outstay its welcome. Recommended. I think next I'll be going back to Horizon: Zero Dawn. I didn't get too far...

    Doctor Who; The Star Beast( 60th Anniversary Special 1)

    This episode felt like putting on a pair of comfortable TARDIS slippers, it's pretty much all the RTD tropes in one episode... For good and bad. +Loved seeing Donna again. I really couldn't stand her during The Runaway Bride, but grew to love her over series 4. +Loved Beep the Meep and how...

    2d rpg games recommendations?

    Sea of stars is a good one. I haven't finished it yet, but it's a fun game that doesn't take itself too seriously.

    Number 7 for sure!

    Most irritating question for me is "Where do you get all your ideas from?" Most mind boggling was "You're writing a book? Are there any sex scenes in it?"

    33.12 Hell Bent

    *pumps the thread full of regeneration energy* So I've just finished binge watching all of the Clara episodes with Mrs M. T. Her reasoning for wanting to do so was because she couldn't remember what was going on with Clara, but I think it's more likely because she has a girl crush on all the...

    Is my novel becoming problematic?

    For the first point, I'm speaking in fairly broad terms, so there would be light and dark skinned European people, light and dark skinned Asian people, etc. This is not a society that has organically formed and developed, so while people would probably gravitate towards others with shared...

    How to know what's relevant

    I think the main things you're looking for is if the scene reveals anything that can't be found elsewhere in your story, and if it fits in the flow of your narrative. I remember beta reading a novel a while back for a fellow Chronner, and came across a chapter I felt might be superfluous. I...

    Is my novel becoming problematic?

    So I've managed to get over my slump recently and started cracking on with editing my never-ending WIP again, but I've hit upon a problem that's stymying me somewhat, so I thought I'd canvas some opinions. A bit of background, first off. In the backstory of this novel, society has been...

    So what's the latest crackpot theory?

    As I said it's not my theory, but I'll answer a couple of points: We know that Alleras is half Summer Islander, but not what the other half is. Oberyn travelled the world in his youth, and even rode with a few sellsword companies, and I think we can take it for a fact that he would have taken a...

    So what's the latest crackpot theory?

    This isn't my theory, but I enjoyed it, so I'm posting it up here: The missing Sand Snake, Saralla, is in Oldtown working on a Maester's chain, and is in fact The Sphinx. There was a lot of talk in this theory about how all the Sand Snakes are proficient with weapons, and Martin describes "him"...

    The Letter [SPOILERS - ADWD]

    I just thought of another clue that points to the writer not being Ramsay - apologies if this has been said before, but I haven't been reading the entire thread. Two of the people he wants sending are Reek and Jeyne/Arya. Where are those two as of the end of ADWD? With Stannis. It's unlikely...

    Doctor Who (39) 13:09: The Power of the Doctor

    This episode was essentially 90 minutes of fanservice, but oddly enough geared more towards the classic series, which I think neatly answers Matteo's spoilered question. I was having a whale of a time with this one, playing a game of "spot the Easter egg" - but I do wonder if people who never...
