100,000 Subs Q&A (Finally)

Greetings, Regarding writing science fiction and not knowing enough science to write a hard science fiction story; I think that perhaps you might be overlooking the areas in which you have a great deal of knowledge. Considering that you're a "YouTuber" ( a label that will likely survive long after YouTube is gone, and a term I place in quotes because it's perhaps more appropriate to describe you as an "Infotainment / Entertainment Analysis Video Creator" but that's also a mouthful ), I imagine you know quite a lot about video editing and producing and engaging with a relatively broad audience of people you don't know personally. You could leverage that knowledge in a story about someone employed by an oppressive government to make propaganda ( turning the explanation of the little technicalities in video editing and interacting over social media with a broad base of people into plot-relevant information which you could also use as a launching off point for possible ways in which these things may change given realistically feasible advances in technology ).

I loved that little detail you put in at the end about everyone being Anadrios from Greece. That made me smile.

Can relate to the love of swords: What can I say, when hubby gave me a sword as a wedding present, it was as wonderful as it was against tradition. Which says that one should not give anything bladed to newly-weds as a present, since it could "cut" them apart. Cringe-worthy, but there it is. If anything, the sword, a lovely Norse sword named "Godfrey" glued us together even more. If you ever wished to try and write Sci-Fi well-grounded in actual Sci, why not try for a cooperation with a scientist with a knack for good spelling? Shouldn't be too hard to find. - No, I'm not offering, no worries. (If it makes you feel any better, while I am by no means dyslexic, nor generally OCD , I still edit pretty much everything I post a couple of times because of the errors that will just slip in... ) Final comment: Thank you for being you, and congrats on your accomplishments.

Love that claymation :D

Wincent, The Hollow Knight

thanks for answers, and sorry for the claymation... Well, it's what I do, at the moment I don't even own a video-camera, only my stop-motion one. Subsequently, sorry for my "The Dom rewiews You" entry, with also involves claymation. I tried there to lean a bit into it's unsettling effect, with was partially inspired by Your reaction to "Coraline". I hope it will make my Medium work for, not against the story

Thanks for answering my questions (I know some of them would be asked by others). Glad to hear Petrie is doing well. I really don't like social media to be honest but I guess I can't deny it being useful for gaining a wider audience.

There's no such thing as an irrational phobia of claymation when claymation is FUCKING TERRIFYING

Good for you for including the claymation when you have an irrational phobia of it. I can understand, I have an irrational fear of faceless statues like those damn Willowtree ones from Hallmark.

"I have an irrational phobia of claymation" immediately followed by the claymation entry had me rolling.

Thanks for answering Harry’s question, Pal! Also, I know it seems redundant, polyjuice and the cloak, but they did it in Godrics hollow in book 7 at Hermione’s command, a book that I just finished reading so it is all that is in my mind. Personally, my favourite change was how they dealt with Sirius in OoTP. Rather than going into the argument between him and Molly about how much Harry should know, and that he sees nothing but James in Harry, that just made it so that his last words were “Nice one, James!” Which I thought was a beautiful and heartbreaking way to portray that.
