"I understand why people do it. I see speed calculations that are so completely ridiculous, and it seems that speed for a lot of otherwise normal characters is usually dependent on something really ridiculous.
Speed is one of the most wankable attributes, so the site is littered with profiles with incredibly stupid speeds listed, flying in the face of what any reasonable person would think about these characters when reading their stories, so you have to equalize speed otherwise "X Statues" and the discussion is over.
Basically any instance in which the author forgets to consider the reality of how far two things are, or calls something "light" it will be used as evidence that every character is zipping around at light speed."
Hello, this is gonna sound like a weird request. So I saw this and I largely agree with it. But it just so happens I've been working on a verse that's has a lot of FTL stuff. I stand behind the results I got but what I want to do is provide enough proof and put it in a format that properly conveys those speeds as opposed to it seeming like wank. As such, I can use outside feedback. Namely how does it look and what can I do to make it look better?
You don't need to know anything about the verse and it's a small verse anyways but I want the reaction reading it to be 'this guy is strong' and not 'this guy got wanked'.
Interested?
