It's partially plagiarism and partially wanting to work on it by myself, without a lot of people criticizing or complimenting it.  I'm not good about showing off finished work, let alone something that's still sitting in my mental pressure-cooker.

Yeah, outlines are really the last thing you need input on.

You shouldn't worry about plagiarism though. It's your story, no one can tell it like you can.

If you end up writing a book Vector, be sure to steer us told the nearest online vendor that's selling it. I'll definitely buy it.

I really want to go to a novel writing class, it sounds like something I might really enjoy, and one of my dreams is to become an author you know.

Write a short story. Hell, start with like 500 word flash fiction. It's fun and not too challenging.

Tycho is actually really close to what I imagined him sounding like.  The voice is different, but the overall tone and way of speaking is spot on.

Not Enough...uh

Erudite?

There are other sites that you can use for streaming anime too. Mostly with megavideo. I can't really help you with that though, since I hate streaming video.

Also, you might uh... consider buying it?

Hahahaha! It's a joke, no one pays for anime.

Unfortunately, Netflix's Watch Instantly doesn't have language settings, so I'm stuck with dubs.

Ew, not worth it.

How many different threads do we need to talk about perfect worlds and communism?  I think we're up to three active at the moment.

As many as it takes for everyone to realize that everyone is secretly, within their deepest hearts, a communist.

I vote we turn this thread away from the darkness of Communism to the light of robot hookers.

Only if they're virtual robot hookers.

And all eight sexes must be represented equally.

Besides, saying Communism the ultimate goal of Humanity is like saying Humanity is the ultimate goal of Evolution.

Sure, but only literally.

I don't really think it should even be a goal of humanity. Making things easier for ourselves. I'm not against communism per se, but I am against the kind of technological communism where everyone gets everything they need (and most things they want) with little to no effort. It's a nice fantasy, but a thankfully impossible reality.

The fun of life is in the struggle.

Dostoevsky made me want to unlearn Russian. 

This made me sad today.

Gogol was great. But come on, Notes from the Underground!

Suppose that depends on how passionate you are about Russian, or if you have a strong desire to learn it, though.

And who doesn't have a strong desire to read War and Peace in its native language?

Hmm?

A long time ago, I actually convinced myself to watch some Agent Aika, aka the panty-shot show. So I watched it, and I remember thinking thusly: "This show is actually pretty good, too bad it's bogged down by it's attempts to be softcore porn".

Agent Aika is totally beyond panty-fighter. When your main character gets topless in ever episode that's basically softcore.

The fanservice pisses me off, if I wanted porn there is plenty of that elsewhere.
It's completely unnecessary and only detracts from the story, and it's the main cause of people thinking all people who watch anime are complete perverts.

Especially when it's in shows aimed for adults, there is seriously no need for that.

Yeah, I've always kinda found fanservice insulting. You've already done the fans a service by giving them a good show to watch, don't go overboard and degrade your characters. I just can't take a woman seriously if I see her panties in my face every ten minutes.

There are at least good animes with minimal fanservice. I dare you to try to find a visual novel without any.
