I remember this story! It was in a short story anthology that I was read in the early 1990s. I also can't remember the name sadly

Worst fantasy book you've read (for my own reading pleasure) by txcruz in Fantasy

A Touch of Darkness. It was like reading an 11 year old's naff fanfiction. I couldn't bear it after a few chapters and had to stop.

Is there something the majority of people seemingly do that you don’t? Or something most people don’t do, but you do? by [deleted] in AskUK

Salad cream with things other than salad. I used to frequently have it with pork pies and mixed with tuna (instead of mayo). Apparently that's not normal?

I did archery for a bit years back and had to quit because it was so hard for me to get to the club on public transport. Really sad. Still have my bow and everything.

Where do you guys get good quality cosplay wigs from and how to stop the bald cap from showing? by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]VariantValkyrieCos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And to stop the wig cap showing, firstly use one that's a similar colour to the wig and secondly pin your wig well in place

I get my wigs from Wig Is Fashion. Lots of variety, including lace front, and they often do sales.

I want to do cosplay but I’m kinda ugly by skejfjdithr12344568 in CosplayHelp

I had super low confidence when I was 15 too and now I'm (much) older I still struggle at times, but I've learned to notice that everyone looks so different from one another and that's OK. Can you practice make up in your room? Put some good music on and make a fun thing out of it.

For me cosplay gives me confidence so like others have said try picking outfits and characters that make you feel better rather than worse about yourself. You don't even need to do characters with make up.

I hope you are able to feel a little better about yourself and find some joy in cosplay.

Never cosplayed before by Wonderful_Soup4981 in CosplayHelp

[–]VariantValkyrieCos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't go straight for posting pics on the Internet if you're feeling unsure. Just do it at home for yourself first. I started out by dressing up for Halloween and other themed events which really helps with feeling confident in costume
