Realizing that you've no clue what most of the warnings in a fic's description are and having to try deducing what they are or head to Urban Dictionary for help is an average Tuesday for me at this point.

Boy, it's been a while since I've written a worldbuilding blog post. And this one's gonna be kind of short--there are a couple of possible resources that you might find helpful, and down at the bottom, there's also an update to Science II. I'll mark that somehow so you can skip it if you heeded the warning on Science II.

I'm not too familiar with UrbanSpeak/GhettoTalk or whatever it's called.

Well, random post...

Greetings!

No, no, no schemes this time! Well... alright, maybe but a little marketing ploy, I need to stay true to my nature!

So, after I checked into "Letters to Cozy Glow" yesterday while writing the next letter/chapter, my eyes fell on the short description and I discovered a small error in it. Small, as in, only one word was wrong. But it made the sentence sound very stupid and gave a wrong idea of what it says.
