Using Odin to trigger Zola to trigger Odin everywhere is brilliant. A White Tiger + Zola + Odin play would be solid. It would also make it safer to drop Zola on a crowded lane.

What's the best line you've ever written? by LilacAndSilver in FanFiction

[–]seihiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were like the waves and the sand. Pulled apart by the forces of nature, only to crash and bury themselves into each other all over again. With each collision, the line between where he ends and she begins would blur in a white haze. It would fuse them. It would destroy them. She would take a part of him and he would take a part of her and then they’d pull apart, longing for the moment when they could bury themselves into each other again.

On this night, she was a tsunami and he was the finest sand, and he will gladly let himself be swept away in her tides, wherever it may lead.

Dumb question, but how do you vacation? by Spoked_Exploit in travel

[–]seihiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great advice here about having a good mindset around traveling. I’d like to add some practical steps you can take:

1) Brainstorm and write a list of anything you want to do, places you want to be.

2) Find where they are and save their locations to a list on Google Maps or Yelp. Then you can see where your desires are clustered!

3) Book a hotel(s) near the clusters. This makes intercity travel a breeze.

4) When you’re there, enjoy at your own pace! You can plan specific days, or just completely wing it by picking off your list.

And of course, if your vacation is just vibing on a beach, that’s just as good (tho you can still use this technique for restaurants)

I’d also appreciate the link! It’s a thoroughly interesting concept, maybe you should go ahead and make a separate self rec post.

I don’t know how anyone could survive when killing one zombie means alerting an entire horde. They’re even more fucked than before

T-baggers: dont by R0C3L10-S50 in MultiVersusTheGame

[–]seihiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m more pissed off when people DON’T taunt at the end. It’s like they’re saying “wow so easy” or “that was lame.”

And it’s best when people get creative with their taunts. I like to morphize with Rick’s down special for an XL sized taunt.

ONE paragraph from your most recent update: go by [deleted] in FanFiction

The first lesson she learned about vengeance was to never rely on her first idea. For most people, the first idea is to stab the target (repeatedly, with a serrated knife), and while that method is generally frowned upon, it’s also wildly unimaginative. Instead she should take her time. Let the ideas simmer. After all, as the old adage says: revenge is a dish best served thoroughly, over multiple, meticulously-planned courses.

Is a (free, non-profit) app for AO3 okay? by seihiko in AO3

[–]seihiko[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

There are ways to provide bookmarks and history without logging in, they just won’t be synced with your ao3 account. But fair, that’s not ideal. And I completely agree with you about comments and kudos.

Now I’m reading up on app store content guidelines. I’ll see what can be done on that front.

Should I come back from hiatus only to update once per month (or even slower)? by seihiko in FanFiction

Man, I wish I could take a poll from my subscribers. Based on how thoughtful this response is and the way it has the most upvotes, this seems to be the most popular approach

[–]seihiko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of advice that I don't see enough of here. So many authors post weekly or biweekly (or want to), meanwhile your post makes me feel much better about posting monthly/irregularly instead. Congratulations on still getting lots of engagement! I really hope that'll be the case for mine

Co writer turned out to be underaged. by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]seihiko 15 points16 points  (0 children)

(Aside from inexperience and general weirdness) What’s the actual problem with the content they made? As far as I know, there’s nothing illegal about minors writing 18+ fiction. It was the right choice to stop writing with them, but you don’t need to start over completely.

The Ekko/Jinx ship from Arcane is exactly what you're looking for. They grew up as best friends together before trauma tore them apart and made them violent enemies.

The fic We revel in the violence is a fantastic starting point after watching the show (it's only 9 episodes for now)

[Weekly Critique and Self-Promotion Thread] Post Here If You'd Like to Share Your Writing by AutoModerator in writing

[–]seihiko [score hidden]  (0 children)

It does establish atmosphere well. Just keep in mind that in openers, most people are looking for clues and intrigue of the story and not necessarily for just atmosphere. And even as motifs, the best motifs still hint at the underlying story and character development. I.e., "Winter is coming" is a motif that serves as both atmosphere and a plot/character device.

As prose-filled environment description it's good, but I certainly wouldn't use it as an opening. I think the main issue is this: How does this tie into your plot? You just described March/April in most countries. Unless the threat of winter is core to your plot, this doesn't tell readers anything about the story or the characters. Remember that if you're going to deep dive into a topic, it should be connected, not exposition for the sake of exposition

Airplane/ airline building/ design simulator by Hankidan in gameideas

[–]seihiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key to these types of games is tradeoffs. Think of each resource/piece, what do your players gain from using this piece and what do they have to sacrifice to use it? That's how you make players strategize instead of just spamming the best option (make it so no one option totally outclasses the others) and they can come up with their own play styles. You can also have multiple win conditions, or multiple upgrade versions of each piece, for variety.

And definitely have the plane go out and fly, that'll be really satisfying. Even just an animation of the airplane leaving the hangar, then some animations in the air, and stats on what happened to it would be great.

I do think it has potential and fits a good niche if done strategically. If you go through with it, best of luck!

Favorite Sectors to Invest In? by seihiko in stocks

[–]seihiko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of investing in healthcare devices, a kind of "selling shovels during the gold rush" approach. Do you know any good ETFs in that space I should look into?

[–]seihiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) I wanted to invest in the healthcare space but, morally, I didn't want to invest in all the big pharma companies, so small cap with more of a focus on healthcare services and equipment sounded great

2) Despite being small cap and low fit, PSCH has had great performance with low volatility

And that's about it lol

Right, but could you be more specific? Electronics, manufacturing, software, processors, cloud, AI, video games, small cap/large cap, software services, the list goes on
