The people there reject everything, do not criticize you, they yell at you and make jokes about your story.

I wish Illustrator didn't exist and Author was nicer.

I'm sure I'm quitting.

I read your story and what Author said about it and apparently your main character caught a 2 ton meteor going at lightspeed and he was just asking about that. Illustrator is Blade, but he usually never goes on so don't worry about him.

Your view is rather biased, you've only posted one story and not even 2 people have replied to it.

Is Author on Scratch?
And I edited it, no weight specified, and hey, ITS A FANTASY STORY. DEAL WITH IT.

EDIT: And on Scratch, I thought the same about Illustrator.

I don't know who Author is, I think it's someone J0j2 knows in real life. But the problem is with the speed. Nothing with mass can go at lightspeed, it's physically impossible, even if it's a fantasy story.

Scratchthatguys · 2011-06-06 08:22:21

Close to light speed...?

You should make it steampunk. Everything is better with steampunk.

STG, you should post your story in here

soupoftomato · 2011-06-06 14:46:18

I don't pretend to be an expert but if the meteor was traveling near that fast it would be time traveling theoretically.

The laws of science don't change, even if it is a fantasy story...

That doesn't make sense to me. Harry Potter can't make a porcupine into a pincushion by just pointing a stick of wood at it, because there's nothing scientific about that. But it's a fantasy story, so it's okay.

That is a completely different thing. On a completely different level. The argument isn't applicable. I guess you need a basic grasp of physics to understand why things can't go at light speed.

Haha yeah I don't really know a lot about physics (but I know things can't go at light speed) I'm just saying it isn't true, so why does it matter if it could happen or not?

Well, Harry Potter has a lot of buildup into this thing. They don't just go catching lightspeed meteors that weigh a ton (which would be impossible unless you completely rewrite all laws of physics) on the first page.

Illustrator is Blade? I was gonna join. Just changed my mind.

They do lots of things in the beginning.
Professor McGonagall changes from a cat into a human and back again, and Dumbledore zaps the streetlights off with a little silver device

In the movie maybe, in the book it's a little more explained if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I know, but still that's not the point I'm trying to make. The whole point is that there's really nothing scientific about most fantasy stories so it shouldn't be a problem if something unscientific happens...

Yes, but they have an explanation for their ability to do that, so unless he puts an explanation for why the dude can catch lightspeed meteors, it doesn't really make for good sense...

It's only the first chapter maybe it'll be explained later

Okay so let me say this more accurately: Harry Potter is supposed to take place in the real world, a hidden magical world. This means that it will have the same science laws as the real world. Because the rules of science don't change even in fictional fantasy stories. That would be like Earth without gravity or sunlight etc. Understand now?

But bewitched stuff can break those, but the fact that they are bewitched explains their ability. (Take flying brooms for example) That girl, wait I mean BABY, had no explained ability to be able to catch a should-be-time traveling meteor.

It must be a bewitched meteor

A 1 ton meteor can't go at the speed of light because it would require infinite energy for an object with mass to do that

Wickimen · 2011-06-16 13:25:53

Whatever. I'm not getting involved in this anymore. The laws of science don't apply to fantasy stories. IT DOESN'T MATTER.
