Re: Should old SciFi be judged by today's standards?
I think I tend to disagree with the majority here when I say that yes, absolutely you can judge older works by modern standards and in fact will go so far as to say that even people who say that they suspend judgement are almost certainly going to judge anyway subconsciously. Though on the special e...

Re: Evangelion 3.33 Review
A hero's role in any series is to set an example, but shinji never grows or moves out of his neuroses because Anno never does. It does have some bloody awesome mecha battles and awe inspiring imagery though. That's the sad thing, though-- Shinji does grow in this series. After Asuka shows up in his...

Re: Evangelion 3.33 Review
As far as good entry anime goes I would say that to any westerner Cowboy Bebop and Dragonball Z (I might not like it but I can't deny that it's safe one) are safest bet besides of Ghibli movies. I don't know what kind anime fan recommends NGE or Rebuild movies to beginners but those are not entry l...

Re: Evangelion 3.33 Review
I never saw an answer for unit 03's soul. Because as far as I knew the pilots parents were just fine. No, in the subplot where Misato's former boyfriend spies on NERV for the Japanese government, he explicitly says that every last one of Shinji's classmates have a dead mother. He even deduces onscr...

Re: Evangelion 3.33 Review
Sounds crazy and stupid, but okay. So what about throwing teenagers into the suits? I know there's a stated thing about their moms being needed for the suits or something, but there are probably thousands of qualified pilots whose moms could be made into the necessary components for a giant robot. ...

Re: Stargate SG-1 crossover question thread (SG1/MGLN)
Yukaphile, this thread isn't about any of those things. I'm not here to answer questions about my previous stories, because the only ones I have ever posted to FF.net I have since taken down because they weren't good enough for me (I was much younger at the time, and no one is a great writer at 17)....

Re: Stargate SG-1 crossover question thread (SG1/MGLN)
11,000? Pfffft! I have 150,000 for my one of my own fics. My lesser fics have close to 10,000 words. :| Uh, that's the point? 11,000 words is relatively short, but I understand some people would be asking for a TL;DR even if it were a third that length. Its an unfinished story, that's what inspired...

Stargate SG-1 crossover question thread (SG1/MGLN)
So this is inspired by a dead fanfic I found on FF.net that's... pretty unique? Interesting? Yeah, I'll go with interesting. Since its only 3 chapters long and just over 11,000 words a TL;DR almost isn't necessary, but I can do so anyway: just before the System Lords and SG-1 sign their famous peace...

Re: The Lost Room
A cock ring that shoots bullets... Hello SCP Foundation, I have a new entry for you. Don't you mean the SJW Foundation? No, he doesn't. SCP foundation is an online collaborative fiction sorta thing that's kind of like The Lost Room except most of the Objects double as horror monsters similar to Sle...

Re: VOY: Mortal Coil Review
I think if you differentiate between objective and subjective meaning, then we can get all you atheists on the same page. In the popular sense of the term, nihilism entails a lack of objective meaning, not subjective purpose. From an outsider's perspective, it would seem difficult for an atheist to...
