@Mithrandir how do you tag stuff on Literature for story-IDs?

Q: Book about a 10/11 year old boy with autism or something similar

StormblessedThis middle-grade novel was from sometime between 2000 and 2016, I believe. It was by an American or British author, who died before 2016, as mentioned on the back cover. The protagonist was a 10/11 year old boy who described his mind as being wired differently, like a computer with a different...

La ferme, Smokey.
 
@SmokeDetector what keyword
@Mithrandir maybe “serum” shouldn’t trigger Smokey
At least here
 
Phoenix maybe
I hear there's a bad university by that name

So it is serum

Q: Does anyone recall a short sci fi story called _Blood and Lust?_

RickMany years ago I read a short story that I think was titled Blood and Lust. It featured two entities named Blood and Lust who would travel through history making very small adjustments to see how events played out after. I recall one instance where one of them slightly altered the trajectory of a...

Found a sci-fi story-ID that seems relatively easy
I regret trying to find that one...literally every result is porn

I think we already had this question asked here
Maybe identified
Bingo
 
@Adamant May I steal?
@Adamant why's your username and avatar different on all the other sites?
Your gravatar looks like a bunch of throwing stars, pretty cool
Hey @Adamant can I answer it with that please?
 
Ahof course
 
@Adamant Thank you!
 
My avatar on the other sites is the default because I couldn't bother to personalize it.
This avatar has a science fiction and fantasy theme.
My name is different because...ah, some time ago the room's bot was called Obie. I couldn't have the same name and avatar because it was confusing, even though I thought it was funny.
So I changed it to Obie 2.0, but later I just changed it altogether.

A: Does anyone recall a short sci fi story called _Blood and Lust?_

StormblessedThis is "The Game of Blood and Dust" (1975)1 by Roger Zelazny. It is about two characters, Blood and Dust, altering history through time travel. They have the power to go to any time. Apparently, they fail to prevent Lincoln's death (emphasis mine): Blood entered Chewy's Theater on the even...

Q: Harry Potter in a different dimension fanfic

Theodore.7I am here again to find a fanfic that I had seen about a year ago. Harry was in a different dimension, a really messed up version where James is alive and Lily's dead. Sirius apparently uses Harry (like Sirius gets carried away sexually with Harry, while Harry is genuine) as he is lost mentally...

Q: Short-lived 1950's TV show involving a (vacuum tube) and a computer dubbed "Emic"

John ForkoshI recall watching this TV show as a kid, maybe a dozen-or-so episodes, and can vaguely describe two of those episode plots. One revolved around the real-life Comet airplane crashes of the early 1950's. Emic was used to discover the problem, which it identified as metal fatigue along the wing. Bu...

Q: Why does Sosuke call his parents by their first names?

Shana TarIn Miyazaki's Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea Sosuke calls both of his parents by their first names. It is clear they both are his born parents. This is uncommon even in western culture, but in Japanese tradition it feels especially weird. I feel like it should have some symbolic meaning to support...

Q: Can a Jedi / Sith stop being one and live on without the force?

KasperAnd by that I mean do Jedi/Sith have the power to expel the midichlorians from their own body's and thus stop being a Jedi, or a Sith forever? And by that I do not mean stop showing any alliance to either party. Someone who stops being a sith could still want to join them, only aiding them othe...

Q: Why would Captain Marvel be a big factor in Endgame?

IEatBagelsIn the second end credit scene of Avengers Infinity War, we see Nick Fury paging Captain Marvel before he is disintegrated, making it seem like she's the solution to the problem and that she would be comparable to Superman when he comes into the battle of the Justice League movie (where he single...

Q: Is this a plot hole?

SeanoseanohayWirr is able to use his powers on an echo when he thinks it is a human. Which seems to say that reality is what determines the tenets bindings. But, I love the story but this is bothering me.

Q: Creepy dinosaur pc game identification

Yep, you always have the right to review suggested edits on your posts no matter how much rep you got
 
Speaking of edits, does the 5/15 rule apply to modifications that aren't edits?
 
Like reopening?
Answering/asking is probably fine
 
7:02 PM
@Jenayah Indeed.
 
Reopening as well, c'mon you don't have to refrain from voting just to respect a 5/15
Bounties probably apply as well, although bounties can wait I guess
 
@Jenayah Also, it only shows your name if you're the fifth voter (or gold badge).
 
Yeah
 
Though chances are, if someone is on a reopening spree there may be a bigger problem than 5/15.
 
7:16 PM
@Alex Thanks, that makes sense.
 
You're welcome.
 
@Jenayah thanks for the story-id answer!!
 
7:41 PM
Is 5/15 enforced in any way?
 
@Stormblessed Yes.
 
@Alex how so?
Bans?
 
@Stormblessed Usually a reprimand from Jenayah or TheLethalCarrot.

DiggerLooking for the name of a SF or fantasy novel. I probably read this in the 70's or 80's. Believe was first published post 1960. Could be part of a larger series. My faulty memory keeps trying to tell me the author was a woman - but really not sure... Basic plot that I can remember: Two main...

 
@Stormblessed you're welcome, anytime :D
@Alex oh, I thought you meant people being pissed by you reopening stuff you didn't think we're dupes :^)
 
@Jenayah I was responding to Stormblessed’s question about endorcement.
 
Oh
Mobile, small arrows, hard to hit, I just skipped and guessed :D
But yeah go us 5/15 patrol high fives @TheLethalCarrot
 
In any case you voted to reopen that question.
So you can’t be mad at me.
 
Which question?
 
9:07 PM
The one I reopened right before I brought up 5/15.
 
(and I'm mad at you if I want to be! :P )
Lazy to check the timelines of mobile chat and site. Link?
 
Okay, are youmad at me?

Q: Within Hogwarts, where could you spend money?

KozakyThis was inspired by a recent question about the Galleons that Hermione handed out for Dumbledore's Army meetings. As far as I can recall, during Harry's time at Hogwarts, there were no places within Hogwarts castle or the school grounds where the students would have to regularly spend money (at...

 
9:40 PM
@Alex nope
@Alex ah, yeah
 
@Jenayah I guess I have to try harder.
 
I don't grant my madness to anyone. You have to earn your right to it.
 
What do I have to do?
 
Good question.
Become a real estate agent.
A Dutch roommate.
A US president.
A school schedule employee.
Or the guy who takes the last piece of chocolate cake at the canteen and you have to settle for a yoghurt
Actually, talking about cake.

Now I’ll work on becoming a Dutch roommate.

Eh. Actually, don't.
 
Okay, US president?
 
10:30 PM
Well, I don't know you that much, but you can't be worse than the current one, can you?
 
I don't know. If my Meta score is indicative of anything...
