That to me though, just shows that there are different genres. Sure, he does things a certain way. But others do them in different ways. He focuses more on "realism" while others focus more on... I guess abstract is the word I'm looking for? It just feels kind of like Monet saying Picasso sucks...

“Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know.” Says the man who created a minibus made of a cat, and who can forget Spirited Away, where people are magically turned into pigs. I'm not a fan of his work to begin with, but I...

AI and robotics has always fascinated me, so I'm going to wait eagerly for Skynet and the things from I, Robot to come to life.

I have Wizardry 6-8 on Steam, as well as Wizardry Online. I also have Labyrinth of Lost Souls on my PS3. So you could say I'm a fan. I don't really have a strategy for winning, since I'm really bad at it but I just keep on trying. Though this little anecdote may give you an idea of what not to...

I have to agree wholeheartedly with this. It's especially damaging to writing if you get onto a site such as TVTropes, just innocently looking for a little inspiration. All of a sudden six hours have passed, and you've totally forgotten why you were on the site in the first place, as well as...

Agh, I only finished an Origins run a few days ago, that explains why "arless" was in my head.

It is also unavailable for me, in mainland UK. I can't find it by checking the .co.uk side of Amazon. Could be a backlog, or something. Great idea, though.

My current piece is holding around 2400-2500 per chapter, though some of my other, less important pieces are 1500 per chapter or thereabouts.

"Consuming Bullet of Demon" strikes me as a good anime title. "Peter Pan Came" hah. "Silent Carnival, Silent Girl" I really like this one.

I like arless, but I can't seem to find any kind of source on it as a real word. I'm sure I've seen it used in fiction, however.

I agree, a good starting point would be spelling and grammar. And, if you feel up to it, pointing out some of the more glaring problems with general language, if they exist. I was recently looking through some document files that I've moved across multiple PCs, mainly things I wrote back in '04...

I feel like Augury and Divination could be combined into a larger overall art. Basically magic based on vision. Past, present, future, near or far. That said, Divination feels like it would be more suited to religion, whilst Augury feels the opposite. Though that's mostly because my mind is...

I agree with you. The absolute bane of my life in secondary school English class, was that the teacher believed, without a doubt, that there was but one method to writing good fiction, regardless of the subject material that precedes it. Of course a foundation itself is often very similar no...

I haven't read any of her work either, though I did enjoy the movie adaptation of Inkheart. I didn't actually know it was based on a novel until now, I might have to pick up a copy and see how it stands up.

Confined is my favourite. It really suits the idea of not being able to go about your life freely, instead being held against your will. It's also a stronger word than grounded, in my opinion.
