Same. I have been writing since I could string a sentence. Primarily because I didn't have any friends at school so my characters were my friends. I can hold my own at drawing, but it doesn't reflect the professionalism that I want to show in my work so I hired on my best friend who is actually a s...

Brits are just an older version of Canadians and Americans and Australians. You all are represented.

I am probably not a good reference for this since I program/draw/write, so I only spent money on musics. This. I'm a professional artist who has been writing stories all my life and I have been programming since Junior High (i.e. a long time ago). Because of that I am basically a one man team. The ...

I find I get a lot done when I'm teetering on the edge of falling asleep at my keyboard. They say people my age get more inspired late at night. That might just be science talk for "when you're about to go to sleep" or "you've put off your term paper until the night before and you st...

Why it have to be "die in a fire?". There are thousands of other reasons why a parents die before their children reach adulthood. And there are thousand of other reason why parents couldn't be around when their children still awakes (just remember though that this is a good reason to have...

Beware the drop bears. :3

Haha. Beware everything in Australia! Is seems like half the animals and plants you guys have are either man-eating or poisonous!

It can't be help, since majority of the people here in the forum are anime addicts. (I hope I'm right) And given that situations, most of them might be fond of using some "Common Japanese Languages or Honorifics" because it's quite fun and amusing to be able to use it... hehe... So, if yo...

People didn't like the 12 hour rule because it tended to stop discussion - I didn't think it would, but it seems to have. How about a 3 hour rule, or maybe a superko rule, that says that a posts in a controversial thread must explain how it is distinct from previous posts in the thread, so the disc...

It reminds me to my English teacher (a native one) who feels discomfort when we call him Sir.<insert his name> or Teacher. He insists to be called with his first name. Now we're the one who feel discomfort... In Indonesia (and Japan), we call our teacher with simply Teach (sensei) or Mr./Mrs.<inser...

Aaaah yes, I loved Don Bluth animated films even more than Disney ones, but I still enjoyed Disney Movies. Secret of NIMH, All Dogs Go To Heaven, THe Land Before Time, American Tale, Anastasia, Titan A.E. ... I love them all. I hate the sequels to most, though. Well, the second American Tale as alr...

For the love of God, don't mix Japanese and English. That is all. This. So much this. If you are writing an original story and it is NOT set in Japan, don't even use the honorifics. They have no meaning or place in cultures without a rigidly defined social status system. If you are translating a st...

I haven't studied statistics, but I would bet that it is nowhere near twice as unlikely for them to have had both parents die in a fire, since fires often happen at home while people sleep... if a fatal fire actually happened, it could easily get both at once. But still. The statistics wouldn't dou...

Heh, now I feel like a tool for favoring an ultra-slick cookie-cutter shoujo manga style bright enough to make Lisa Frank's eyes bleed. If your coloring is bright enough to make Lisa Frank's eyes bleed, you are doing it wrong! A rainbow that ate another rainbow and threw it up on another rainbow st...

Feel free to replace "died in a fire" or "working overseas" with this. Haha. Yes. I hate that, and I see it in nearly every professional VN I've played. "My parents moved to a different city because Dad got work there, but they let me stay here in the old apartment to finis...
