Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Orson Scott

Comment preview: I wonder if some sort of life form peered out of a telescope from that galaxy and saw the young milky way. Probably just brushed it off and went "just another ordinary galaxy. Nothing there" and scrolled right past us. Completely oblivious to the stories ....


Comment preview: 85/100 There are two stories within this comment. On one level the writer is making a point about the age of the picture using some facts from his personal experience. That in itself is a worth while comment. However, there is a whole other story going on ....


Comment preview: So basically it boils down to "Science is hard" and "Science lacks the wonder and excitement of religion". I think the first relates to the other, because if anything: it's religion that lacks wonder and excitement. Science is full of wonder and majesty, ....


Comment preview: > Seriously, why didnt they just show this ending instead? Because the one that they aired was the one they had planned all along. Without it, it leaves a big unexplained question: When Ted sets off to tell his children the story of how he met their mo ....


Comment preview: i agree that they aren't so alike but disagree on what's terrifying about the prospect of death. see before birth, there are no questions. you never have been to ask them, so there is no wonder or curiosity. once born, we begin to wonder, to explore, to le ....


Comment preview: I like this show so much! The story is good and the animation wonderful, i wonder what will the BD improve. Sound? Better tracks for the BD? [I wonder if all the characters will have screentime and development instead of the main 4 girls.](http://i.imgur.c ....


Comment preview: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sn41i7 [TRANS] Sunye's Letter to her fans regarding her withdrawal from Wonder Girls. Hello always kind and grateful Wonderfuls! Today this will probably be the last piece of writing I leave as a member of the Wonder Girls ....


Comment preview: *It's the most wonderful time of the year With the ghosts that are roaming-yelling And all-the-scouts telling you "Need a Dispenser here!" It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the sca-scariest season of all With those haunting costumes and the wel ....


Comment preview: When I first beat the new raid the first thing that popped up in my head was that it took a pro gaming clan 12 hours to do the first raid, with no help, and my group just went through the new raid in less than four hours. In what way is is better or an imp ....


Comment preview: **The Wonderful 101** This had to be my favorite Wii U game so far. Probably the most underrated of them all. I like to think that this game is power rangers on steroids. There is constant action with no signs of stopping. You may think that with Platinum ....


Comment preview: NO! NO NO NO NO *NO*! The Incredibles is *perfect.* It's not a story about superheroes. It's a story about a struggling family coming together when the chips are down and how being a hero comes from your humanity, not from superpowers. The fact that th ....


Comment preview: I sorta wondered if that's a kind of end game of the series bit of foreshadowing. There was another line last year where Beth told Daryl he'd be the last one standing and sometimes I wonder if that's kind of the end game. Daryl is the only character that r ....


Comment preview: Thank you all for the wonderful comments, stories, and comfort you've provided. They've made me cry, laugh, smile, and wince. I'm so glad I was able to share her last night with all of you, and hopefully that helped you in some way. I also wanted to apolog ....


Comment preview: >Or as the great Delmore Schwartz said, "Being a manic depressive is like having brown hair." Sweet review. You know L. Reed (may the souls of the faithful etc.) has an English degree because suddenly, in the middle of the story, you say "whaaaaattt?!?? ....


Comment preview: To have a good female superhero movie, there first has to be written a good female superhero. Two things make a good superhero character, and there really aren't (m)any A-list female superhero characters that have them. 1) The best superheroes have a pers ....


Comment preview: I'm not sure, but I think this guy has misunderstood what the Vatican was saying. The Pope can reinstate you after you reject church teaching, but a priest can't. Desecrating the Eucharist is rejecting the church in a way that stealing a car isn't -- ask ....


Comment preview: >I'm starting to wonder about the preconceived images that the people in our lives have for us. When I put together outfits I am preparing to tell a story about myself to the people who see me that day, but the people in my life don't need that story be ....


Comment preview: Good summary. Dune is pure awesome and stands alone. Dune Messiah and Children of Dune are really one story. These are very similar to Dune and expand the universe and introduce face dancers. More about the Golden Path is revealed. God Emperor of Dune, was ....


Comment preview: I always wonder if there's more to the story. Family legend has an uncle of mine choking to death on a piece of gristle at a dinner party because he was trying not to cause a scene (cause a scene if you're dying - ok people!?) But the whispered lore is tha ....


Comment preview: Hey /u/snowqt, one of your family members here. Found this story on your laptop as I was about to use Facebook and noticed a few errors in your STORY. Let me fix: > He offered me 10 bucks, so I accepted, because I forgot my wallet in my car and wanted ....


Comment preview: That's the part that cracks me up. Anytime I hear people saying "We're hiring, but we can't find any eligible candidates," I get really skeptical. I wonder if I'm hearing the full story. If you offer sufficient pay and benefits, you'll have no problems fin ....


Comment preview: Slightly off-topic here, and I'm sure I'll get downvoted to hell, BUT! I wonder if Twilight sticks out like a sore thumb so much as "blatant female fantasy fulfillment" because yes, it caters to teenage girls and was wildly popular, but also because we're ....


Comment preview: Oh! Right now, I am a big fan of AMERICAN HORROR STORY. It's a really chilling, extremely well-done piece of work, totally unnerving. The acting is spectacular from every single person in it. And that is very appealing to me, to work with wonderful actors, ....


Comment preview: It was my editor's idea from the start. We've done a number of stories in this format; we both like it and feel comfortable with it. But in this case particularly, I think it was exactly right. For one, the stories are so grim that I think it's a kind of r ....


Comment preview: Someday, the Circle of Friends will be gone, and maybe others will take up their mantles, but their stories will be different. In the end, when the last story is told, and the book closes, there will be sadness. But do not weep, for the book shall remain, ....
