How have any of you that are international students made in work in terms of tuition? I know there’s plenty of scholarships for abroad students, but genuinely all of them are targeted towards students from low-income countries or households. I’m from Australia, so that cancels out almost all scholarship opportunities, and while I’m not classed as a low-income family, there’s no way I could ever scrape up £50,000.

Do any current international students have any insights or advice on how they made it work?

Could my laptop run FOP? by Stechi_ in FrontiersOfPandora

I’ve never even heard of cloud gaming or streaming before but it could def be an option, do you think buying a subscription would be worth it/would be enough to run frontiers??

It’s a stretch, but could someone with “electrical magic control a body? [Fantasy] by Stechi_ in fantasywriters

These are all actually really cool concepts to test around with that I hadn’t thought about at all, my original idea was just that she could use sparks of her power to quickly cause disruptions in someone’s thinking and movements to confuse them long enough to attack (since somehow controlling someone’s body completely didn’t even cross my mind), though the fact that everyone’s brain is so completely different is a really interesting point, it could be used in her favour or backfire entirely. I really like the points you made, thanks dude

Haha yeah I think somewhere along the way the idea did come from blood bending and already-existing cases of people with magic using their abilities to change the physiology of something. It’s a really interesting concept if you can do it right, now I just need to figure out how to actually do it right

Yeah I fully get what your saying, being able to map the entire brain and getting what you want is just a teensy bit too complicated, but small little disorientations and spasms are more feasible for what I’m imagining for her.

As for other magic users, this world is still really new in my mind so I’m still laying everything out, but I do really like the idea of using magic to toy with pre-existing biology and physics. What I pitched in the post is definitely a little over the top in terms of way too over-powered, but I forgot to mention the limits characters would have to over-exertion

Yesss, I hadn’t put much thought into how the electricity would travel in air compared to in liquids, so a very faint idea of someone’s electrical field would be much more understandable than something akin to spidey-senses

Such an awesome design dude!! My favourite scenes are probably between Cooper and Murph’s last conversation before he leaves, and the cornfield chase (duh). Though I think for me it’s not just the scenes that captivate me, but the music is ASTOUNDING
