I have gotten used to the default site theme from the time when I was reading manga here without being a member, thus Light it is.

Well, I did read through the planned features first but I seem to have overlooked it.

Hello, I got the idea that it would be useful to implement some kind of search function in the forums, particularly if you are looking for some older thread where you have read something good you want to reread but which is buried under newer threads. This could use either words present in the...

My choice of the day this time is inspired by the worldwide racism debate. Thus I want to give one example of historical intercultural musical exchange. "Cumbées", composed by 17th/18th century Mexican Santiago de Murcia, is undeniably influenced by the music of the African slaves in colonial...

It has been some time since I posted the last song here. Seeing as we have such wonderful summer weather (at least in Germany), my choice is "Willekomen summerweter süeze" composed by the minnesänger Neidhart von Reuental and performed by Ensemble für frühe Musik Augsburg. This song, whose title...

@pandascepter: Congratulations! This is the correct answer.

To my knowledge Traditional Chinese is still in use in the Republic of China (AKA Taiwan) as well as in Hongkong and Macao while Simplified Chinese was introduced in the People's Republic of China (AKA Mainland China). As for what is the difference, Traditional Chinese Characters are rather...

In gipsy belief bald people reincarnate as fish after death.

It came how it had to come: The onee-san lost her footing, tumbling to the ground and sending both the tea tray and a broken heel flying. Confronted with the hot tea (like in boiling hot, far too hot to drink) flying in her direction, Hope did the only thing she could do: take the tray, block...

@pandascepter That much is true though it doesn't suffice as the answer yet.

On a tree without leaves there sits a bird without feathers which will be eaten by a woman without mouth. What is this?

@pandascepter I guess the answer is: death.

That's interesting. Why didn't I see the thread any earlier. Well, first of all, nobody really told me any scary stories as a child because I tended to have nightmares for weeks on end. But there were a lot of rumors here and there and also a curious situation I experienced myself. When I was...

@Teddy: I think it would be a good idea to put the lingk to the writing thread in this one and vice versa so that if they might be seperated one day can soon be found again. I believe best would be when you as the OP edit your first post to add the link since this would be far easier to find...

While Bob remained at home wallowing in a self-condemning recounting of the latest happening making him cringe all over again and seeking solace under his blanket, for he was in no state to continue watching his favorite anime, his sister (whom he believed to be a brother due to her lack of...

Still shaking their heads about the antisocial John, Bob and Hope returned to their farm which consisted of nothing more than some fields, a stable where the oxen and cart could be parked (Their father's motto was: "Ride a horse, have remorse. If a ox cart you are driveing, slow but safe you are...

@Teddy: Is this still the character collection phase or has the writing phase arealdy begun, and if yes, where?

Titan Tiny: - Kid’s little brother, ten years old - Until recently far too small for his age, more like a five-years-old, and thus called "Tiny" by everyone including his family until his real name was forgotten - Mobbed in class for his body size and could not play sports with kids his age...
