As one of the greatest cartoons of my childhood Im surprised there isn't already a discussion or fic rec thread but here it is now. I also hope to use this for describing stories and hoping people can point me and others in the right direction. I'll start. I have say that Gladiator on...

Bored and need some new stories to get into. Anyone have some good books worth reading? I'd prefer to get them from the library, so no new releases. I'm particular towards scifi and fantasy, but would like to expand my horizons a bit too. Apologies if there's a thread for this and I missed it.

Rational self inserts are well-written self inserts solely because they don't break reader's immersion. You self-insert yourself into the SI fanfic imagining what would you do in the self-insert's shoes. They need to be realistic. We need to be realistic. Think about it. You are reading a story...

Thought I'd make this thread for fans of the Fallout series to recommend fanfics and disucss ideas for future Fallout fics. Here's some Fallout fics I recommend. In the Wasteland by Manuelita_la_Tortuga Summary: Nora escapes Vault 111 and sets out to find her son, but finds much more along...

Inspired by a thread over at /his/ that naturally devolved into people trying to argue about Jordan Peterson, because 4chan. But seriously, philosophy is an ever evolving discipline, but due to political disagreements and general dominance of western liberal democracy it often feels to me like...

Hello! I’ve recently realized that I have a very large amount of free time, and very bored! So I’ve decided to ask the wonderful people of SV to recommend me an anime for me to watch, and where to start. I’ve tentatively thought about watching the Fate/Whateverthefuck Series, but absolutely no...

yeah yeah yeah, I know. The title's horrible. Suggest a better one Ok, I'm searching for a book, or at least book series on stuff like massive technological changes. And I mean groundbreaking technology, that changes paradigms like the way the steam pushed out the industrial revolution. Romance...

So, I signed up for the 30 day Kindle Unlimited Trial. Help me abuse it. I will post quick reviews of everything I 'buy' and read in this thread. :) So far: The Wizard: A Dark Fantasy Gamelit Novel (Dungeon Core Book 1) Rating: 3 out of 5 stars "It's not great" Got this on Kindle Unlimited...

First, I'm not sure this belongs in the Science forum - it's psychology, but it's old psychology from back when it wasn't very sciency. Freud being the originator of the concept of the unconscious, and modern psychology having moved away from the idea of this dark attic in the brain filled with...

So I'm finding myself in the need of good fluffy stories, romances with very little dark stuff and the kind of stories that make you happy cry and there doesn't seem to a Thread for that specific genre of fiction, which I found very surprising. Fluffy fics and romance without all the heavy...

Hello, SVers, and welcome to The Pink Flamingo Cabal! This is a recommendations thread like no other! Your Curators are @1KBestK, @Fernandel, @Apotheosis, @Lilithium, @Disparate Dawn, @Stormwhite, @Gitaxian, and @no.. In this thread, we will be reviewing the fics you rec to see if they’re worthy...

I don't think this really falls into the mega build thread? I have an Fx-8350 as my desktop but the problem is that I am away from home a lot. My current laptop is an Acer Aspire 5552-7474 with a Phenom II N970 processor with a Radeon HD 4200 graphic driver and 15.6 inch screen. Struggles with...

Anyone can post anything that is related to the Diablo series so long as its in the rules. From regular stories to crossovers to Recommending fics. I am posting this due to there being no Diablo threads at all. Diablo, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, and the soon(???) to be made Diablo 4 can be discussed...

One complaint that i see with Jim Sterling and many people is the sheer amount of games that are constantly released on Steam, with many of them not being good, which leads to many games escaping the notice of people as people tend to focus on AAA games or those indie games that generate buzz...

Because in between writing narrative shit for Beads and Brass, I want to vent or gush about things I've read as ostensible research, or because I work with and like reading about dead people. So, uh reader beware I guess. In general most of what I'll be covering is either a fairly wide spectrum...

So I have $100+ to burn due to my relatives liking to give me money for Chanukah instead of single products. I'm looking for an awesome third-person hack and slash in a similar vein to Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, or Dark Souls. Two games have caught my interest right now: Nier: Automata and Nioh...

I couldn't find anything on Wheel of time. I wanted to post a one-shot of Malazan crossover with Wheel of Time. So here it is. Ta'veren by Geralt reviews When Rand was 13, Lews started manifesting in the boy's dreams, passing on to him the knowledge of how to control his Ta'veren ability...

You read the title, you know what's up. Post your favorite works of poetry from authors who maybe everyone hasn't heard of (i.e. no Ginsberg, Hughes, Frost, Yeats, etc). Any period, genre, and style is accepted! I'll kick it off with some random works I've very much enjoyed: Nephelidia by...

I just found out about Tier Zoo, a youtube channel about where different evolutionary builds stand in the current meta (i.e. discussing different animals in game-like terminology). I'm also a big fan of Overly Sarcastic Productions, which does short fun videos on both history and mythology-...

Welcome to the Gargulec Talks About Books Thread, your one-stop site for all the information you need about books that Gargulec likes to talk about! Jokes aside, the purpose of this thread is simple. I am a doctoral student of cultural sciences (think cultural studies with pretense to not...

I know that there are a bunch of other fanfiction idea threads in the forum, but all the one I quickly looked through were either based around one specific media or were so old I didn't know if posting on them with anything less than a short story would get me flamed as a necro (I know the rules...

So I've been re-watching HTTYD1/2 recently and searching for fics and noticed this didn't exist so I though I'd start it with some recs. Assuming I can find the ones I read before thinking of this :/ Recs Siding with Them - Thrown off a cliff and captured by the tribe's greatest (human)...

So @Ford Prefect and I were chatting on the IRC earlier about Dragon Ball Z and you know how it goes we inevitably started talking about fanfiction ideas. And so naturally, I wanted to share some of the great shit we came up with. But then, to my horror, I discovered that there was no...

A thread for all your favourite fics, fic ideas, or just general discussion of the 'verse. ...I don't think we need to bother with spoiler tags for a fifteen-year-old show with only a single season and a movie. I'll kick discussion off with a link to the actual script for the unfilmed 15th...

A casual search shows that there are currently no light novel recommendation threads on this forum. This is a travesty which I hope to rectify. In this thread, please post your recommendations with a short description of why you like the light novel in question. I would encourage other posters...
