I'm breaking character here, so don't tell anyone, but it was never actually in the book. the real sentence was "Claws the size of bananas shot toward me."

and then this was the edit note:

it's just that when I saw the edit note, my first impulse was to come up with an even worse banana sentence, and........ you all saw the bloodbath that followed.

here's the final line that made it into the book:

Honestly, probably the best social tip I could ever give you guys is literally just ask. Need to make a doctor's appointment but don't know how? Call the doctor's office and ask. Don't know the meaning of what someone said? Ask them. Don't understand the instructions you were given? Ask them to repeat or clarify. This has literally never failed me, no one's gotten angry, no one's refused to answer.

Even in situations where you think it might not work, I once accidentally missed a deadline to accept a job offer, so I called and asked if they could reset it and they did. Just today I called a doctor and asked how to schedule an appointment, the lady told me how, and then I did it. Didn't know if someone was being sarcastic or not, so I asked and they told me. Just ask.

What if Shadowrun Dragonfall got a tie-in comic book?

Originally I was just going to draw the pose, but once I added colours it reminded me of late 90s X-Men/Generation X covers so I just decided to roll with it.

"Here’s a trick I learned during the Obama presidency for handling certain types of political labels. Take, as an example, the Tea Party claim that Obama is a Communist. Don’t take the word of the person making the claim (Tea Partiers). Don’t rely on the rebuttal of the target (Obama), because that will just be dismissed. Go to the group itself (Communists) and ask them. Ask an actual Communist if Obama is a comrade and see how they answer. Watch as they laugh at you, then explain in great detail how they wish there was a Communist in the White House, but here’s a long and exhaustive list of why that just isn’t so. Now apply this logic to the claim that Hillary is pretty much the same as a Republican. Ask an actual Republican if they think Hillary Clinton is one of them. Watch them laugh, and then explain in the same exhausting detail why that just isn’t so. Some of them might concede that she’s better than Trump, but that’s not the same thing. Finally, go ask a White Supremacist if Trump is one of them. As they excitedly explain how Trump is the guy they’ve been waiting for all these years, and how he’s really empowered their movement, use this to guide how you will be voting in November."

I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link

someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper

junefrombug

okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.

My friend's book is mentioned in this paper!!

There is no earthy way of convincing anyone that the rickroll study link is real. But for what it's worth. It is

cat-26

I have a new goal in my almost-finished PhD dissertation.

Second link's good guys, truly

type-blaze0

Teaboot's right, there is basically nothing on earth that could convince me to click the second link. I genuinely believe it might be real, but i'm not touching it.

Write a character standing in front of a door they're afraid to open. Give us everything leading up to it, and let what's behind it stay a mystery.

What does the fear feel like in their body? What are they telling themselves as they wait? What finally moves them to reach for the handle, or to turn back?

Do they flash to memories or imagine what will happen if they move forward? Is there a reason that they HAVE to open the door? What are the stakes?

The door can be literal or something else entirely. Give us the ten to sixty seconds before the choice and what runs through their minds. That's where the story lives.
