All the Presidents of the United States are resurrected in the far future with their last memory being at the point of their death but in refreshed, youthful bodies. They’re dumped on a planet where they are told they must kill each other, Hunger Games style, until only one survivor remains…

#i do love the presidential battle royale discussion

absolutely stellar

#okay both of those stories are funny #but the thought of a student making romantic or sexual overtures is repellent to the point of being physically painful #dear god no please

writer’s block (dry) = no desire to write, no ability to write (bearable)

writer’s block (wet) = HUGE desire to write, no ability to write (very evil)

THE DAY OF LANGUAGES!!!

This 7th of May, 2024, we use our own language again!

If your language, native or not, is something other than English, on May 7th you can speak that language all day!

You’ll blog in your chosen language(s) all day: text posts, replies, tags (except triggers and organizational tags).

Regardless of what language people choose to speak to you, you can answer in your own.

Non-verbal, non-written languages (like sign language, dialects, otherwise non-written languages) are more than welcome! See my FAQ for tips

English native speakers can participate in any other language they're studying/have studied/know.

The tag is gonna be #Speak Your Language Day or #spyld for short.

Please submit me some language facts for me to share on this day <3

Out of curiosity and also guilt over my own coffee intake. I wanna ask:

Now I'm not talking about when you're studying and so you drink 3x the usual amount or something like that. This isn't me asking what your record is. I'm talking about the most basic, average day, how many coffees you drink?

#two #in the sense of 'two vessels full of coffee' #but my second one is uhhhhhh 32 oz? #so it's technically more #i'd love to cut back #but unfortunately: the agonies

can't believe that pompeii by bastille is over ten years old now. but I guess if you close your eyes it does almost feels like nothing changed at all

#sure does

"Guy" and "man" have different connotations with adjectival nouns. Like "tree guy" = arborist but "tree man" = he lives in a tree, or maybe he is a tree.

#language #'tree boy' meanwhile #is an insult #while 'tree person' describes someone who is part tree

I have a question for the fanfic writers among you: How do you treat your work in progress when a very similar story is put out there? Do you go on writing - in the spirit that everything is unique in its own way - or do you abandon the piece - in the spirit of preventing 'superfluous' contributions?

Let's add a further wrench into the process by saying the recently published work by another author, so similar to your own, seems so much better written than your own (granted we are always our own worst critics). Where do you go with that?

Maybe this is a question for readers, too. Do you mind reading similar works/story lines?

#tbh unless my story is VERY long and/or VERY specific #or unless the fandom is TINY #i kind of assume that there are other stories with the same/similar premise? #like #i'm not a wildly creative person #i too am weak to the tropes #if it were something super specific or super long #i'd probably whine to friends #and let them tell me mine was better #and/or just abandon the thing #but tbh most of my WIPs exist in some state of 'abandoned' #right up until they don't #writing #worst fucking hobby
