"Man, hope I don't die in the evil ghost house," said the man who will die in the evil ghost house.

Say what you want about trees, but I ain't ever had a California Redwood talk shit about me behind my back.

Name one of them Kyle. Never elaborate why.

I see a lot of good potential reasons here so I would add pettiness. I mean if you portray the child as incredibly petty and narcissistic, it can be believable that they would inflict such a gruesome fate on their own mother. The problem with that approach is that either the child being...

Considering fight scenes are hard to write in general, I think the biggest issue will be keeping track of all the summons whilst maintaining clarity for the reader. As one of the posters said, if its a stomp then its less of an issue but if isn't a stomp then you really need to consider how well...

Yes I can enjoy a story I don't personally relate to. Tbh there are times were I don't like protags that are too relateable. I don't mean that in the sense that I'll turn away the instant I relate to a protag on some level, but I will turn away if the protag only does boring shit. I've done...

I don't know about anyone else but when I write I prefer third person limited. Whenever I pick other stories at random on this site it seems to be a mix so I'd argue it's probably 50/50 on first person vs third person but that's just my perspective I'm not actively collecting data

It would lead to the founding of Doritos because Hellish cheeses are damn good with heavenly chips

The person who comments on fics seems to be a "sniper." I say this because the instant I post they're waiting in the wings to write a comment not even 20 minutes. I ain't complaining, I genuinely appreciate when people do that. Let's you know people are interested

Honestly, just my two cents, I think whatever the hell you want can be a form of media in your fantasy world. You want plays were the actors generate breathtaking sfx using magic enhanced props, go for it. You want a flying machine, go for it. The barrier in regards to any technological and...

I think comedy is a lot harder to write for because what is funny for you, may not be all that funny for your audience. Granted if you advertise exactly what you're "selling" then you won't have to worry as much because the audience should in theory know what they are getting into. However even...

So in other words if you didn't write about our world (and y'know world geography mattered) you'd make a map or something. Welp I know what I'm doing in MS Paint later!

Looks nice, far better than I usually manage by using ms paint anyways

Exactly what it says on the title. When you guys write your stories do you ever add maps to your stories. Like how Tolkein has the maps of Middle Earth near the front, or how Warhammer usually includes a galaxy map to show the approximate locations of each faction. Don't get me wrong I like...

Close the lights, Sprawl out on the bed, and occasionally check my phone while I flirt with the idea of napping
