Already decided (revised)
Already decided Jacob cursed at Nel, “Stay still, you useless nag,” as she shifted around. The sun was mercilessly hot and would be all the worse by noon. Sweat poured down his dirty face, stinging his pores. Pulling a rag from his back pocket, Jacob wiped his face and took a drink from his canteen…
Feedback please
I’ve posted about this in the past and would like some feedback on the idea. I’d like to build something in the senior space and I began with the idea of aging in place home modifications. Until I realized I’m not a blue collar type of guy lol. Now I’m debating on building something online…
Scene where a Jinn observes a meeting with adults trying to ban Teens from a local amusement park
This section is still unedited. That evening, Alphie goes over to the Ciderpond District Center. He enters the building and enters a lobby with large front windows. The building is empty except for the janitor taking care of the trash and the lights are mostly out. A woman with brown hair and a face resembling…

Mixing match-3 with falling obstacles. Does this mechanic make sense?
I’m experimenting with a hybrid concept: • Match-3 board at the bottom • Blocks or ice pieces (with HP numbers) falling from top • Boosters trigger explosions to prevent collision The idea is survival + combo strategy. Does this mechanic feel fun, stressful, confusing, or redundant to you? submitted by /u/Recent_Jellyfish2190 [link] [comments]

Starting up on my own
I need some advice and see if what others opinions are on this. For context I am based in UK.

Create a business for women only who want to quit their jobs and do what they really want.
Hi! I’m 35 and tired of working for someone. I’ve changed seven jobs in five years because I’m bored, I don’t like it, and they don’t pay enough. I’d like to start an all-female business. The idea is to find a platform with both a community and a dedicated space for uploading videos. Basically, I’d…
Slow transitions

Some say he was a bad Phil Hartman impersonation come to life. Zap Brannigan in a fedora and a trench coat. A shallow pastiche representing every cliche of your typical Detective.

The Architect’s Exist
Through streets of copper, binary is flowing, In gates held steady by decades of knowing; I watched the heavens of breathing charts, To find the pulse in the digital parts. But now the logic is cold and deep, Given to machines that need no sleep. They say it is progress, a new way to see,…

Subscription plan that gets cheaper the longer you’re subscribed
Hey, this is just a shower thought. If businesses are already doing this then great but I just haven’t seen it yet: How about a subscription plan that gets cheaper the longer you’re subscribed and thus rewards you for staying loyal to the business/brand? Let’s be real: the economy sucks. While money is getting tighter,…
Does business setup complexity kill your motivation to test ideas?
I am validating a few business ideas right now and one thing that keeps holding me back is the setup and ongoing requirements. The idea itself feels simple but the thought of incorporation, taxes, compliance, and all the legal stuff makes me hesitate. It feels like a big mental barrier before even testing the market.…
What’s your favourite novel opener, and why? (Literary sci-fi)
I’m writing a speculative sci-fi about the social ramifications of trauma-erasing technology and the formation of a support group turned hactivist community. The spinal core of the novel however is a mother-son relationship, the son being the central protagonist. Even though trauma and pain are integral themes, I want there to be a Vonnegut-esque absurdity…

A Website That Forces People to Do a Short Logical Reasoning Question Before Arguing Online

Does anyone else find it difficult to write?
I’ve been a writer for years. I love it and it’s been the sole drive for me for a very long time, However, the past while, it’s been extremely difficult for me to write; I’m not sure if it’s self criticism or writer’s block, but whenever I try to continue a scene, it feels like…

The Quietest Job in Merseyside
People think criminals are loud. Sirens. Tyres screaming. Engines howling through red lights while helicopters circle like angry insects. That’s the film version, the comforting lie. It reassures people that crime looks like chaos. In reality, the dangerous ones are polite. Martin Keegan’s gang never ran. They queued. If you’d passed them on Smithdown Road…
Should you get an LLC before starting a business?
Let’s talk about the legal trap. Do you actually need an LLC to start your business? I see this every single day.

Lack of context as a writing style
I have noticed there is a spectrum of the level of information and context given to a reader.
