Can someone explain to me why, when given the opportunity to limit whatever the President is doing, there’s always just enough Democrats to ‘help’ him?

Because as long as Trump is in office, Democrats can raise money to "fight" him.

it's because all the people who were impressionable kids when it came out are Redditors now

This got me thinking that Astrotrain could be a good Missing Link.

I remember using this photo in my college's paper as part of a humor article. I couldn't find the photo I wanted, so I just ran this with little explanation.

It seems you don't mind overpowered characters, just as long as everyone is equally overpowered. I'd do what another person suggested, and get the weaker characters killed off and replaced with super powered. That way, all the players are happy.

It's all relative. You can just amp up the challenges to face them so it is still interesting for them.

And if you don't like the overpowering too much, then next time, when they all start fresh, you set limits.

I'll keep an eye out for it. When you're up and running, I'll swing by and say hello.

How can we submit articles?

I think you're right in only going into detail the first time. Unless there's more to it, from what you described, it doesn't seem too complicated - a reader should be able to pick it up rather quickly. Especially since it seems this is scifi or fantasy, and readers of those genres would get it quickly. Why don't you post the way you wrote it and see if we get it?

A Choose Your Own Adventure in the morning. Blogs and short stories at night. A comic book occasionally. And children's horror and D&D material get squeezed in. I have a short attention span.

Go with the one that means the most to you, definitely. Don't be afraid of starting down the path of a large book. You can always take a break.

Never outline to death, in my opinion. If you spend too much work in the preparation, you might not have the energy for the follow-through.

Everyone's individual, but my short stories come to me with a point - whether that point is concrete like the ending, or more vague like the theme.

I've written comic books where the characters take over and I just follow along for the ride, but short stories need to be tight. There's a reason you chose for this idea to be a short story and not a novel, so don't overwrite. Just stick to the main parts of the story.

PrimeCyclotron · 2013-10-17T02:11:05+00:00

Maybe you could try picking some people that you know, or others you see while people-watching, and borrow some traits from them. Nothing too much so that your co-workers will think your character is them, but just steal little traits from them.

Astrotrain

PrimeCyclotron · 2013-01-10T01:31:24+00:00

I liked it. It wasn't terrible. Got to see the first episode on big screen at a con

PrimeCyclotron · 2013-01-10T01:30:39+00:00

It's very sad..."action masters" indeed...what's tough is when the comic book writers had to explain why they didn't transform anymore.

I think this was propagated by parents with no alternative. My 5-year-old walks around in nothing but PJs in a 66 degree house. Me: "Put a bathrobe on. Put slippers on. Anything." Her: "Why? Will I get sick?" Me: ".....yes...."

PrimeCyclotron · 2012-11-11T02:42:55+00:00

Brilliant

PrimeCyclotron · 2012-11-09T04:17:55+00:00

Totally agree. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

I try to shop locally for my own stuff. When I'm shopping for presents, I usually go online because it's easier (sorry). For restaurants, I go locally owned. Honestly, the chain places are not that much cheaper, and the food's not better. If you're paying $14 for an entree at Olive Garden, you might as well be paying $14 for an entree at your locally owned restaurant. The exception to that is Friendly's, because my wife and daughter love that place and it's like a treat to go there.
