    What the [BLEEP] Is a System?

    That's actually just the entire plot of a novel called 'I Hate Systems', pretty good one though

    Writing Prompt The lore of your Narrator

    The Narrator is a multiversal force that represents Perspective, alongside other forces such as Fate, Evil and Good. Their job is to give beings from higher worlds a convenient viewpoint of lower worlds in the form of visions and ideas given to certain people of higher worlds a general outlook...

    Poll - How do You Write Illusion Magic?

    Whenever I approach Illusionary Magicks, under the house of Magic in general, its usually in two formats: Mental and Physical. Mentally-manipulative Illusion Magicks fall under the category of spells related to the control of ones senses, particularly their eyesight and their ability to...

    The Protagonist and Antagonist Swap

    Well, for this little bit of writing I'm making, it would be pretty simple. The protagonist ends up just becoming the antagonist, straight up, while the antagonist just continues existing in this new body. Because, well - hivemind villain, the protagonist either dies immediately from mental...

    What do you call a group of homeless orphans?

    I'd call them the frontliners, the lunch buffet, easy pickings, Organ Mobile™, spare parts, or maybe the Ten-dolla-bomas (Ten dollar bombers).

    What's your main character's biggest flaw?

    For mine, it would be his honesty. He wouldn't lie to anyone, not because of his morality, not because of his beliefs, but because he genuinely sees everyone he looks at to be beneath him in every functional way, regardless of status. He could look God in the eyes, as in an omnipotent entity...

    Writing Prompt You are transmigrated into the novel you just gave a bad review

    I'll be living the life then. I prefer stories where the Protagonist is practically evil incarnate, or just blatantly a bad person without any remorse for their behavior - such as Reverend Insanity, perfect in my opinion, while I dislike stories with harems, heroic protagonists, or just...

    Build your perfect crew

    Captain - Senator Armstrong. Why: Because I would follow that man to hell, wage war on it, capitalize on it, and then wage war on heaven afterwards. The rest of the team is literally just Helldivers - its Senator fucking Armstrong and his platoon of freedom-loving, eagle-fucking patriots...

    A Thought Experiment I Thought I'd Share

    Simple: Humans intake Mana in the air when they breath, which lets them use magic! :D Complex: Mana is taken in through the nostrils to the lungs, where it is processed similarly to oxygen, except it uses the Mana Bile, an organ specifically evolved to process 'Pure Mana' - the name for mana...

    Can all fanfictions be considered as alternate universe?

    I personally have a head canon that every fanfiction protagonist exists in an identical alternative dimension to the original, and the reason it they are in an alternative instead of the original is because if they existed in the original, they would ruin all alternatives and permanently affect...

    How would you deal with your Protagonist as a Mid-stage Villain?

    The novel I'll be using is an idea I had - With Adam from the bible as the protagonist, he has very simple fire powers but is just really, really strong and uses his fire powers in ways I personally think are cool. First of all, as the main antagonist, I am God - like the biblical one, except...

    Writing a Villian MC

    Personally, I prefer a truly villainous protagonist, one that adheres firmly to firm logic and doesn't bend their will towards one thing or another due to emotional states, only based on what they genuinely view as the most logical conclusion. For instance, I am currently doing a small (Very...

    Writing Prompt Break the Dragon's Curse ?

    My take is similar to Lycanthropy - also known as Werewolves. The 'Dragon Curse' is referred to as Scaliophosia, and is a disease that causes a shift on the genetic level, where your skin begins to rash violently in certain spots, from which will slowly scab over despite not being an open wound...

    Medieval fantasy: What are your plans for a devoting slave?

    The scenario I imagine is a world of fantasy - Magical arts, runes, ancient magicks, the whole lot. In my ideal world, which this is, this slave is a male, firm muscular build, exactly six feet in height, short hair, small and or no genitals. This is for peak combat efficiency, being entirely...

    Writing Prompt Dehumanising

    Now, my fellow people - How would you treat your canned drinks? Normally, right? Just use it, throw the remains in the bin, and it gets recycled. So how is this any different from the bio-engineered lives? Both are made in a lab over a period of time, each one made to be the best they could be...
