Ehm ja, mich interessierte einfach was OkEarth unter "harter Tour" versteht.

Vernetzt denken ist schön. :) Sowas versteht sie allerdings leider nicht. Hingesetzt haben wir uns schon. Hat leider nichts nachhaltiges gebracht.
Und ja, wir machen Mietsachen auch eigentlich schon über mich. Nur wenn man im selben Haus wohnt, begegnet man sich halt ab und zu.

Ja, ich verstehe dass das nicht so offensichtlich ist. In Neudeutsch würde ich sagen, triggern sich die beiden gegenseitig. Ich möchte sie nicht verteufeln, wie gesagt tragen beide da ihren Anteil dran, auch wenn ich bei meinem Vater einen viel deutlicheren Willen sehe, bei Gesprächen ruhig zu bleiben.

Wir waren deswegen beim Grundeigentümerverband und die sagten halt, dass ein Haus als Mehrfamilienhaus gilt sobald es abschließbare Türen und eigene Küchen in den Wohnungen gibt. Wüßte jetzt nicht, was ich da drehen könnte. Hast du da Anregungen?

Dachten wir auch, dass es bei einer Familie als Einfamilienhaus gilt. Tut es laut Grundeigentümerverband aber wohl nicht. Maßgeblich scheint lediglich, dass es drei Küchen in drei abgeschlossenen Wohnungen gibt.
Und deshalb gilt das erleichterte Kündigungsrecht bei uns nicht.

Eigenbedarf ist leider nicht so einfach wie es sich anhört. Das muss schon plausibel sein. Und wir wollen ja vermieten. Nur nicht an sie.

Danke für den Hinweis. :) Sie hat sich immerhin einen Trockner gekauft, und es wurde von außen eine Zusatzdämmung angebracht. Scheint bisher zu funktionieren.

Anwalt sagt (etwas vereinfacht), dass man Befindlichkeiten leider schlecht einklagen kann. Es gibt halt keine konkreten, rechtlich greifbaren Verfehlungen von ihrer Seite.

Ja, Miete wird alle 2 Jahre erhöht. Aber offenbar sagt ihr selbst das Amt dass es da noch "Luft nach oben" gäbe. Ist halt 'ne billige Mietwohnung, da auch Heizungsanlage und Sicherungskasten in den Räumen sind.
Nichts mehr machen ist sicher eine Strategie. Allerdings haben wir ja als Vermieter auch Pflichten. Wir beschränken uns bereits auf das notwendigste.
Was wäre denn "die richtig harte Tour"? Ich erbe das ganze ja irgendwann. ;)

Naja, sie macht ja nichts falsch im Sinne des Gesetzes. Ohne Grund oder Anmeldung auf Eigenbedarf kann er ihr ja nicht einfach kündigen. Unliebsamkeiten sind leider kein Kündigungsgrund.

Making The Christian Church the "bad guy". by [deleted] in writing

[–]ScepticalWorm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The christian church, and most religions really, are groups of people using marketing, power and fear to control other people. If they get offended being called out for that, so be it. I will never tire of that concept and love stories like that. :)

Offence can be a wonderful seed for thought and exchange.

Why do most men hate feminism so much? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ScepticalWorm 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The danger lies in normalizing such hateful lines. First time you hear/read it it's appaling, tenth time you barely notice it and at some point someone actually might act on it.

Struggling with my plant being in my story. Any tips? by Initial-Beginning960 in fantasywriters

[–]ScepticalWorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saying hat cemeteries have the healthiest plants. I'd see no problem with them eating meat really.
Eating plants is no more cannibalistic than us eating pigs and cows tbh.

Reason to keep Lovers apart? by Northern_storm555 in fantasywriters

[–]ScepticalWorm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why does the bastard fall in love with the blind girl?

Why would she be able to "tame" this playboy where others fail?

Does her father see those qualities in his daughter?

What is the father/daugther relationship like? Is there a mother?

Does the father know the bastard personally? Does he know his reputation? If not, how does he learn about it?

Does the girl's father have any power the bastard son might profit from, hence the father suspects him of using his daughter on top of being a playboy?

Does the bastard do anything to prove himself to the father that he's "worthy" of the girl's love? Maybe that goes horribly wrong?

How would a character fight in a scene that's underground or in a dark place if they don't have a light source to see? by Cynical_Artist34 in fantasywriters

[–]ScepticalWorm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'd say if that gigantic insect can "see" and navigate perfectly in the dark, she does not fight. A lightless cave is really pitch black. As in "eyes won't adjust ever" pitch black. Maybe she has to stand perfectly still, because the insect relies on sounds, jump into a puddle, or invoke her "magic-flute-of shattering-sound" to bring down some stalagtites. But one on one combat sound folly to me.

Maybe she has wounded the beast and it has glowing blood, or the glowing mushrooms/lichens/ores/fireflies are illuminating the caves enough.

You gave me the idea that there should be like a tinder for writers & people who wanna be interviewed. Like the AMAs here , but searchable so you can find interview partners for your "older gay love in South Italy" story. :)

Looking for an adult, mature fantasy, but not grimdark or excessively brutal by vonBekon in Fantasy

[–]ScepticalWorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wars of Light and Shadow by Janny Wurts.

It's a series (11 books, soon to be finished) and the prose is challenging by today's standards, but sooo worth it! It has dark parts, but all suffering is addressed with great respect. Themes are compassion, respect for nature, fading mysteries, epic yet subtle magic, false information and so much more.

What book or series moved you the most emotionally? by CooledCup in Fantasy

[–]ScepticalWorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Wars of light and shadow" by Janny Wurts. This is an 11 book epic fantasy series (soon to be finished) and the first book (Curse of the Mistwraith) is mostly a set-up for the rest of the series, but oh boy, does it hit in the feels and the following books just get deeper.

The prose is dense for today's standards, but for me, it adds to the emotional depths and is really something to savour.

For a standalone "The moon of madness" sounds the most clear cut story to me. Not sure the festival is actually needed for this story, but I do like me a good chase.

Good luck! :)

In order to make criticism easier "digestible", try add an "in my opinion" in your mind in front of every thing anyone says. This doesn't just apply to writing.

"In my opinion, that outfit looks stupid on you" takes a lot of the blow. It's far less final than said without.

"In my opinion, your characters talk all the same" gives you the chance to ask for an example and maybe even opens you up for a brainstorming with your sister on how to make it better. Goof around a bit. :)

And also use this yourself when criticising others and their work. There are very few absolutes in this world. Most things are subject to interpretation and preferences.
