Sci-fi writer here needing science help for my project

[callie123]

I was told to introduce myself before asking a question. So, I'm a writer -- and that's why I joined this forum. My current project is Scifi -- with more "sci" than "fi" at certain points, haha! I AM NOT very scientific, so I'm hoping I can get smart people to answer some questions now and then. This sounds very selfish, I'm afraid. But you'll be sure to be thanked profusely for your help...and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have on gardening, grammar, or cooking. Though, you could probably find all those answers by visiting your grandma.

So in short...I'm a shameless leach to this forum. Thanks in advance! ;-)

Hi Callie.


Since what we do here is try to answer questions/solve problems, in some way, supposed 'leaches' are really feeding us! So ask away.
Don't be surprised if some questions are aimed your way too.

Thanks, Tom! Hope I do have some knowledge somebody here can use! Right now, all I can contribute is to point out that I spelled "leech" incorrectly...and to thank you for not laughing. :-)

You can view my question here: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/water-and-electricity.967180/. Hope that's the proper forum! Thanks.

We have a Sci Fi forum, and a writer's sub forum under that. Those may interest you. Be sure to read the rules before posting.

Meanwhile, we do not handle technical questions in the "New Members Introduction" forum.

Thanks, I moved my question accordingly.

I spelled "leech" incorrectly...

Either spelling works. Here from the Urban Dictionary, https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=leach

LEACH
1) leach is a type of person who does their best to suck your personal wealth out of you, without actually causing pain, but just extreme annoyance after you notice it is happaning.

Wow, so I was mistaken about being mistaken? I'll take it. Thanks, Tom :-)
