...See more Is there a Glass-type Pokémon? Glass-type Pokémon could cut grass They could resist Flying They could be weak to Steel Maybe... some Water moves would bounce right off a Glass-type Pokémon deflected by curvature and some Water moves could break some Glass-types like Hydro Cannon blasting a glass window Maybe... some Glass moves could assist some Fire moves where the fire's heat is stored by the glass Maybe, even, some Normal moves could be super-effective vs. some Glass-types

...See more An EEG (electroencephalogram) can track some bodily processes. Similarly, sleep studies have shown that sleep cycles can be tracked. Is it possible for something akin to a personal heart monitoring device to track sleep cycles, where such a device is linked to a service that plays music? Such a device could serve as a kind of personal reminder for particular goals for the day.

...See more Hi everyone :) As a writer, I would like to know : what are the elements / storylines you guys think should be incorporated more in stories ? What clichés should be watered down and what makes a good plot / an interesting character according to you guys ? I mostly write love stories in the YA/New Adult genre, so I was hoping you could help me improve myself : ) Thank you.

Where would you be today if you changed one event in your life?
by Hopeful0001
Last post
 June 19th, 2025
...See more Earlier I was thinking to myself, that things could be so different if I changed one thing in my life. One event, could lead to many ripples. For example, if I hadn't bought my car when I did in 2022, what are the chances I would have applied for the job and have the career I have now? Or, If I hadn't been so upset with management, would I have had the motivation to look for a better job? You get the gist. Now use my time machine and go change your history!

Writing Prompt 4# Let's continue!

 February 5th, 2025
...See more I'm back, Let's try to continue! My goal is to get to 30 days (^-^) Thanks to everyone who is participating!! Prompt 4# START writing with the phrase: 'Ten minutes later he was flipping through the pages of the old album' END the story with this sentence: 'The hall was lit by a single lamp, next to which sat the white witch.' My short story Ten minutes later he was flipping through the pages of the old album wondering where on earth it had come from, he had never seen it before and now, here it was, on the table sitting as if it had never been touched.  I huffed in exasperation, looking around the room, trying to find something out of place perhaps, but everything seemed perfectly in its place.  "Gordaline did you happen to put this album here?"  He exclaimed to the silent room, not hearing an answer, he remembered right then that it was her day off and that's why there was no trace of her.  He was in his study at the time, when he hears a noise coming from the living area, jumped on the spot, thinking to himyself, 'damn, thieves broke in'. He took a breath to calm down, 'ok let's not jump to conclusions', he silently started to get up and approached the room. When he was about to think that he had imagined everything and that in truth there had been no noise, he took courage and raised his head , looked inside the room and The hall was lit by a single lamp, next to which sat the white witch.
