Ask Each Other Anything Within Reason

This.

I get why you're doing it though, maybe put your last line in a spoiler within a spoiler within a spoiler etc.

Like... (don't click this theres nothing to see really):

so that it doesn't affect the other people watching this thread who aren't the target of your question.

Reim, because to me an avatar is like an outfit and I like to change things up a bit and wear fashionable different clothing every day.

Even though I already know the answer.

Let me have my sleep

Obviously I love you~

@ Tolvo, if I remember correctly you're a writer. Without going into specifics (names of books you've written etc.) since it could give away more information than you would like, what kind of things do you write?
I think you've mentioned scripts and books but what genres most interest you from an authors perspective?
And also what kinds of writing are easiest for you to market/publish? Assuming the answer isn't the same as the first questions.

EDIT: Cat, perhaps edit your last post and remove the many unnecassary lines from the quotation.
>tfw you continue the trend lol

Fair enough I edited it for ya'll... And because I kinidn't think until I was told.

At least it was fixed quickly

@Hart, Horror but I don't really like to be bound by genres.  Fantasy, modern, philosophical, scifi, horror, I write pieces for a lot of different genres.  I also write mainly short stories and prose not actual novels, if I wrote and sold novels I'd be making more money than I currently do for certain.  Generally the easiest for me to write is horror because I have a large amount of imagination coupled with paranoia.  As a child I always imagined things as creatures, pipes thumbing in the walls as demons on the outside slamming against my house to get in and **** me.  The mist on a mirror after a shower being ethereal hands trying to throttle me.  I imagine a lot of things like that in my daily routine so I usually have a lot of ease transferring it into written form.  Publish and market, I don't deal with that.  I send in stories and people decide whether or not to publish them, and the marketing is generally done via a magazine which they are in or a paper.

Is my dog gross for eating his own barf, or am I a spoiled, ungrateful being for refusing natures bounty?

Are you a narcissist?

To all females- Could you guestimate about what percentage of your daily yapping could be justified as useful/purposeful and what percentage is purely emotionally based, carrying little weight and subjected to little prior thought.

@ BIG TIME MASTER, not sure if you're looking for an answer from anyone in particular with that last question but oh well...
I think I could be, since I'm quite selfish and egotistical. However I don't have a consistently positive self-image, so I don't really think I could be described as vain. Then again, I answered your question as if anyone cares what my opinion was so I suppose that assumption is pretty narcissistic

@ Tolvo, thank you for the comprehensive answer. And good thread idea too.

Bingo, you narcissistic jerk


For your sickness I prescribe the following treatment: Find an open field far away from civilization, go there at night, lay upon your back, stare at the stars from the time they are visible until the sun rises, as the sun rises stare at it too, continue until your retina disintegrates and blindness sets in, arise from the posture and contemplate your new understanding of how small and insignificant we all are.

Repeat until all narcissism is erased from your mind.

As I'm not a real doctor this consultation is free....this time.

No idea. I haven't had enough placements yet.. Sorry

Hart, what inspires you?

Why did I read all of the posts in this thread ?

Tolvo wrote:Hart, what inspires you?

In general?
Hmmm, thats actually quite a hard question for me to answer.

A big part of what inspires me is learning about concepts new to me. I am a person that actively enjoys learning new things, so long as I find some interest in them, and generally speaking as I learn more about any one thing my interest in it will grow, as I can make more and more connections between this new subject matter and things which I already enjoy.
Another source of inspiration is people--living or dead doesn't really matter--who have excelled in these fields; so I suppose to an extent my search for someone who made an impact on the subject whom I can relate to, or respect is a large part of what keeps me building on my knowledge of said subject.

As with most people, another big source of inspiration for me are personal experiences which have left an emotional impact.
The biggest one in my life at the moment would be the death of one of my very close childhood friends (which happened a while ago now, a few years give or take). Being my first ever real-life experience with a death that touched close to home, it made me change the way I viewed certain things.
I don't mean I went out and made drastic changes to my lifestyle, but from then on I would have that memory in the back of my head. So when I am given the chance I will attempt to liken things to their appearance and personality; in role playing games I often find myself building a character to look like they did, or role playing in a way that 'fits' their personality as I remember it. In a less direct way in paintings and writing I often find I imbue my work with some of their more abstract qualities. An even less direct example would be how I might work in a certain color palette, limited to the persons favorite color. I know that only people close to me would know why I had done so, but even small things like this make me feel more IDK, complete about the work, even if its only in my own view.


Hopefully that gives you a glimpse of some of what inspires me. I'm sure there is alot more I could think of given the time to roll it around my head so feel free to ask about specific areas of inspiration. I just wrote what came to my head right now seeing how open a question it was.
Good question too, made me think quite a bit.

How do you think will you explain your unhealthy obsession with the Internet/a Series you were watching  to your Grandchildren ?

Show them /b/ and watch their neckbeards explode into full glory at the tender age of 13

so i'm not derailing a serious answer:

@ Marino, does your username reference the soft wool from marino sheep or something else? I've always wondered...

True that .
The Internet will be pretty much be omnipresent in 20 Years tops .

So like it or not, we're all Hipsters in a way lol .

Marino is my RL Name .

Usually on Forums or anything Online really, I call myself "Oniram" or "Oniram Kenobi" .
"Oniram" is "Marino"  backwards and it was sort of my Nickname when i was in School.
I later added "Kenobi" because then it was simliar to a certain Star Wars Characters Name .

And since all those names were already taken i just went with "Marino" .


Now, Hart .
Does your Username refer to a German word or what ?

Hahaha no, it has quite a similar origin to yours actually.

Hart is my surname IRL. My first name is Maori (the indigenous/native language here in New Zealand) and is too unique to be used as a username or PSN etc. So I use my last name instead

Because she's cute, adorable, pretty, and I love her vocals, even if she does speak broken English.
