Re: What new types of peril do you want in the superheroine genre?

Or, if you're writing fiction with a good ending, you can simply have public humiliation backfire on the baddie. I did that in [shameless plug alert, sorry/not-sorry] one of the Space Princess books, where the Big Bad humiliates the lead heroine publicly and instead of cheering him or being quietly...

Re: Question for Writers: Who Inspires You?

For general fiction: I've soaked up influences from a longer list of writers I admire than I could possibly name. Everything from Tolkien to LeGuin, Charles Saunders to Octavia Butler, Stephen King to Samuel L. Delany, Umberto Eco to Gene Wolfe to Marion Zimmer Bradley to C.J. Cherryh to Maureen McH...

Re: What new types of peril do you want in the superheroine genre?

I don't think I have ever seen a peril where the heroine is cloned multiple times and controlled by the villians....sending them out into the world, not as the heroine but as normal people they put into perilous situations and sexual scenarios....each individually feels what is happening to them at...

Re: What new types of peril do you want in the superheroine genre?

To whatever extent I'm about the peril, it's more about the public humiliation kink than probably anything else. That and/or the threat of permanent or semi-permanent sexual captivity (but that's only a "peril" in good-ending fiction where there's real suspense about whether the heroine pr...

Re: Is Wonder Woman the real bad guy?

What with the concept of the Justice League dating back to the early 1960s, I think the ship has sailed on keeping heroes siloed away in their own little universes. Especially since if you have two heroes with comics published by the same company, eventually your readers are going to start clamoring...

Re: Is Wonder Woman the real bad guy?

It seems odd that Wonder Woman has gotten a lot of bastardized versions of herself that don't make sense. I think the video hits the nail on the head with what seems to have happened with Injustice: the writers not really knowing what to do with WW and just making her a plot device instead of an ac...

Re: Accusations without citations need to be dealt with

Calling people Nazis or racist or things that extreme is just crossing the line. When they explicitly call themselves that, no, not really. And at any rate, showing up to violently overthrow the elected government of your country is extremism. There's no other word for it. Nothing further to add, r...

Re: Accusations without citations need to be dealt with

Ok what does that have to do with Nazism? 1. Many of the groups involved were extremely explicit neo-Nazis or subscribed to similar ideologies. The dude in the "Camp Auschwitz" t-shirt was not some anomaly. 2. At a certain point "are they according-to-Hoyle Nazis?" stops being a...

Re: Horrible Songs By Stars Who Should Have Known Better

McCaulay Culkin has (or had at one point? I hope it's over) a band called the Pizza Underground. Concept: a Velvet Underground cover band, but the songs are all about pizza. That's... basically it.

Re: Accusations without citations need to be dealt with

There are literally only about 2000 actual Nazis in the US and they are nearly all deadbeat losers living in trailers hooked on meth. Dude. Many more people than that were involved in the Capitol insurrection in January . Some of them took private fucking jets to be there. They set up a gibbet and ...

Re: Invincible (2020, Amazon Prime)

Personally, I think the show is amazing. I never read the comics, and I'm glad of it: everything's fresh and I'm not tempted to compare it to How It Was Originally Done. So the first-episode reveal about Mark's dad, and the twist into terrifying hyper-violence from happy-go-lucky superhero stuff, wa...

Re: What happened to The Wizard's Lair?

I have been wondering about the Wizard's Lair. I had a Zatanna story win a story contest there some years ago and I don't have that story in my files anymore, apparently. It would be interesting to see if the older contest material is planned for reposting at some point.

Not someone with any knowledge of those raws but I remember that site, Athena, and that story. Hope you have luck in putting it back together (I have a few things that got "stranded" one way or another, it's annoying).
