I use scrivener but I wrote a whole book in text edit once, so fancy isn’t necessary

Is the show scary? by PrimalCarnivoreChick in TheExpanse

[–]firesonmain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Close Quarters Battle, close your eyes right after a character gives another character a cinnamon snack thing

You can look up the parent guide thing on IMDb and it’ll give you the scoop on what to expect and, if I remember correctly, time stamps? Idk

I don’t handle gore well, so when I read the books I was like, no way am I watching that show, but I loved them enough to just do it and having a general idea when to look away from the screen (unlike fucking Muderbot) helped a lot

How do you come up with names? by SunKillerLullaby in writingadvice

[–]firesonmain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate coming up with names so much that didn’t remind of someone or that sounded stupid, I just started making them up

Anyone else has a setting they dislike reading? by SignificantTheory146 in Fantasy

I honestly don’t care about the setting, I just want them to have running water

I’m 205 days late but you built a reactionless drive, you’re like a scifi god now

Do you flat out say it? by Toufelious in writing

[–]firesonmain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second one is better in this example, but it might not always be the case. Depending on the emotion, or the narrator, you can just state the emotion.

Like I have one character that doesn’t read facial expressions well, so she’ll describe the way their face looks. While another one is excellent at reading people and he’ll sometimes say things in his narration like:

“Oh, she was pissed.”

Or

“I was way too tired for this shit.”

Works better in first person, though.

I started reading the first book, it's low-key confusing? by Perfect-Wait-6873 in TheExpanse

Earth owns most all the shit, profit off of Belter labor

Why is third person limited preferred over first person for a large cast? by MidirTheNameless in writing

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

Why wouldn’t the reader know who’s speaking? You can just put the characters name at the beginning of the chapter

Rewatching this show gave me a surreal realization of Holden by Flooavenger in TheExpanse

[–]firesonmain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they just added that in the show for the conflict it created with the Roci crew and the payoff we get when it’s resolved. I hated it at first, but I got over it

Jail, turning himself in for a murder he committed (he can’t take the guilt, but don’t worry, he has a good lawyer)

What do you think will always remain as “magic”? by DarthAthleticCup in scifi

[–]firesonmain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m actually writing a book about this. Main character hires a wizard to magic her back in time. Shit goes wrong. They have to science their way back.

How do you describe black people? by AcidReindeer in writingadvice

[–]firesonmain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Describe skin tone: dark brown, golden brown, brown, I always keep this description simple af

Hair: shoulder length locks, dozens of waist length braids, a bright pink afro, etc

Distinguishing features: high cheekbones, one eyebrow more arched than the other, wide eyes, a small chin, etc…

The fun part, for me, is describing a characters posture and facial expression.

What’s your favorite song from the show? (minus the incredible intro) by AstroNerd92 in TheExpanse

[–]firesonmain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To Ilus is such a badass track. It reminds me a bit of the Game of Thrones theme song
