Prose is a story, thats simple term, at least the one used.

And comedy shouldn't be a point, we don'tall write comedy.

1. the ordinary form of spoken or written language, without metrical structure, as distinguished from poetry or verse.



In shakespeare all the characters spoke in Iambic Pentametre except for the small roll characters, they spoke in prose, to show how they are inferior.

It's a silly extra point. If you don't want it, you don't need it. I doubt it'll be possible, though. You'd have to be very witty to make me laugh. ;P So I'll leave it in the air. Just don't push anything, unless you write something good.

Anyways, Pineapple described the meaning of a prose, so I think we're good. =D

Any guidelines on what the prose should be about? As in genre, or what not?

Nope, I find it best for people to be creative. ^_^

Sweet, sounds good, I just hope that I can find the time to write a quick story for this. That guideline seems to be coming up awful quickly. :p

I'm not sure I can do anything by the date given; I've been doing a lot of schoolwork lately, and haven't been able to get all of my ideas together. I still try, but it might not happen.

Last day to post stories?

I have a random story that I found that I thought was ok and more understandable then the rest, so hear it is, comments but not criticism appreciated, since I really don't care.

Er, depends on what you mean by "just". xD

I'll read your story later, because I've moved the date to the 24th.

I feel so dirty.


I just got off probation less than three weeks ago, so I've been smoking like a fiend; consequently, I've been just a little too stoned to be writing (when I'm high, it seems like I'm writing a great story unitl I'm four pages into it and read it over to find out that it sucks), so I might not have time to submit it tomorrow.

I'll try my best, though, alright?

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
