I know Survivor hasn't done a 16 person cast in years, but I'm wondering if it'd be a better fit for the shortened new era in comparison to the 18 person casts now. It could theoretically cut down on double boot tribals, assuming Probst is willing to give up these tiny TCs. But from an editing perspective, less people to edit means more screen time for everyone else. 16 people means two tribes of eight and that could help prevent fail tribes, since having more people on your tribe means more people doing camp work. It could help lessen the punishment of losing the flint.

Personally, I'd be willing to accept a smaller cast if it mean less multiple elimination gimmicks. If the casting department wants you that badly, you're gonna wind up on a season regardless. Thoughts?

If any of you write fanfiction or post art online, there's a pretty good chance you've run into a scammer or two. And I'd say a lot of them usually leave some sort of contact info with them. A lot of my own friends have been getting spammed with these messages and they sometimes include emails. Since many of the social media websites don't moderate well enough to remove scammers permanently, we've kinda taken to messing with them. I guess the philosophy is if that we waste their time, it's less time they've spent going after someone more susceptible.

So I want to know, what are some good websites that I can sign up the scammers' email addresses for? Ideally, these websites don't ask for much aside from the initial contact info, and will send *lots* of stuff to your inboxes. Newsletters, updates, begging for money, that kind of stuff. If they can skip the verification email process, even better.

I tried mailbait, but it doesn't seem to work, so I skipped it. I've been using religious organizations' websites and signing them up for tons, although some do send verification emails. I've also found a website called Crosswalk that claims to send you tons of religious news, so hopefully that works too. Just to give you an idea of the kind of websites I'm looking for.

Currently looking for Homestuck or Vocaloid OCs to attack! However, I prioritize characters with five or less attacks. Newer/beginner artists welcome too! If you haven't had any luck getting defenses, let me be your first!

For several months I've been struggling with feeling motivated to write fic and post it (not gonna bother linking my previous posts complaining lol) due to unresolved personal jealousy issues and just feeling on the outskirts of my friend group. I kinda put everything on pause because it wasn't fun anymore, and I didn't really feel like I had a community I belonged to.

But a few weeks ago, I was going through a bit of a nostalgia trip on Fanfiction.net out of boredom and stumbled upon some old Hunger Games fics I had completely forgotten about. I read a few from this one author who specialized in all-oc Hunger Games fics, and maybe they just scratched that itch I didn't know I had, because suddenly I spent an hour at night lying awake and thinking about doing a fic with a similar format. I started writing it the next day, and this was like 2 weeks ago. Since then, I have completed 8 of the 13 chapters I have planned, and uploaded three of them!

I don't know how to explain it, but all the negative emotions I had swirling towards fanfiction and writing beforehand were suddenly just...gone? Like, part of me insisted "okay, I *have* to put this fic out there and if it gets no comments, it gets no comments" and I just bit the bullet and threw the first chapter out there. That more or less forced me to commit to the fic and publishing the whole thing, so I'm glad I'm stockpiling lol.

But I'm glad for it! It's really gotten me to remember why I love writing and have made fanfiction a core part of my life for 10 years. Why I started in the first place, begging my parents to let make a FFN account on the family computer. It more or less feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, especially since I was able to return to an older fanfic I hadn't updated since December and start pumping out chapters for that.
