I would think there'd be more activity around here during the summer.
Yeah, I have exams coming up in about two weeks, and in most of my classes, we still haven't finished covering everything we wanted to cover.
I hope I got a really high score on my Science graduation test so I don't have to take my Physics exam. My teacher said that if you show him your OGT score sheet and you scored in the highest category, he'll just enter in a 100% for your exam grade. Read: I won't have to take it. :D
"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."Same here. Now that my ever-beloved A Ps are over, I can forget about the horrors of enzymes and substrates and focus on writing instead.
This is this.I'm... actually looking forward to precalc next year. I believe it's used in rocket science, but I just want to go into engineering.
"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."So I'm retelling Beautty and the Beast with the cast of Avatar The Last Airbender. However I don't know how to do the projoge without giving away who I'm casting as Beast, sugistones?
With the power of a dragon I can make up for my inability to spill.Ah, AP Week. Though it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, oddly enough.
This one's a bit of a general question. Anyone here have difficulty writing mundane scenes where nothing dramatic or action-packed occurs?
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaMm, yeah. I'm thinking that scenes like that might demand me to change writing styles or something- to keep my interest from dying halfway through.
As for futuristic weapons... How devastating should they be? For person-to-person combat, I assume?
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaChanging writing style to help with that is an interesting idea.
And yeah, I was mostly thinking person-to-person combat. Although I suppose it could also be person-to-vehicle, or something. The setting is cyborgs vs. robots vs. aliens and zombies vs. other cyborgs. It's not entirely serious, mostly me fooling around.
My character is walking the wastelands, so I thought something that would need lots of reloading would be impractical, since it'd be hard to find ammo. I was also thinking sword-like weapons, for Rule of Cool, but they'd have to be pretty dang enhanced.
What about something that's stabbed into enemies to serve as a conduit for a lethal electric charge? Melee and pretty bad ass to boot, I think.
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaA taser sword? Oooh, I like that idea.
Haha, that reminds me of the bear taser. It's got a range of 35 feet and delivers 150,000 volts.
Oh, I forgot this
existed.
Hmm. Railguns plausible?

Lethal, mind you.
Wait, as a melee weapon?

Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaFor long-range.
Heh, actually... I'm having the cyborg face off against a magic user who can manipulate electromagnetic fields. They could totally build a railgun if they teamed up.

Magic? In my sci-fi?
Actually, that would be a nice pseudo-railgun given the circumstances. The cyborg could even use himself as a projectile.
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaWell it's a non-serious affair, right? What's to say the robots of this era aren't built to withstand the force of being shot at hundreds of miles an hour?
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaKick reason to the curb, deny the obvious, uphold the inane!
Though there are cases where I story I wrote as a joke ended up becoming more grim and introspective and vice versa.
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaThey were works in progress lost to a virus (I lost a huge amount of stuff that day, actually), I don't remember much about them. The stuff that I have online now (mostly fanfic) is all serious stuff.
Kitkat Kitkat / He's our man / If any one screws up / He sure can -ImcaEh, they were all mostly unfinished anyways. I'm that douche that never finishes anything he starts.
