    WHY DO YOU NEED A KABOOM?! YOU'RE NOT MARVIN THE MARTIAN HERE! *flails*

    Dumbest Comments You've Gotten

    It just...it ruins it for me. You see, sound effects are things you can also write out, like the "ting" of swords clashing, or the "dull orange boom" of an explosion. You can create sound effects, but just not like this, for example: The knights traded sword slashes and cuts as they stood in...

    Dumbest Comments You've Gotten

    No offense whatsoever to you or anyone else, but I absolutely despise "sound effects" and they have no business being in a story - much less any writing medium. *^^* Leave the FX to the movies/comics. This is writing.

    Hard Decisions: Stopping my first novel to master the craft. What do you think?

    I'm of the opinion you should finish it, but first do a full, complete re-read and restructure of the book outline to the point you stopped, along with a complete "character sheet" of the players. Spend some time reading it after you've written the plots/subplots/etc., and perhaps look online...

    I need your Irrational Fears

    I second the fear of clowns. I have no idea why they were created but I don't like looking at any of them. I had to fight really hard to get through. "It". *^^*

    Please review my prologue.

    I have to agree with the short consensus. I worry you're providing way too much Wikipedia and not enough story. At this rate, we'd need a scoresheet to keep track. Be ambitious if you must but not too complex. Simplify things. You've got a great style though. Honestly, this fits the dimestore...

    Did you know that if you were born in '45, 33 years later, you'd be 78? That's a record! 😁

    Dad Jokes

    One day,, Professor X was reviewing the application of a young girl who wanted to attend Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. As they spoke, the Professor asked, "Alright, so what exactly is your superpower?" The girl glanced up at a ceiling fan a few feet above them and then pointed. "I can...

    Tapas

    I honestly didn't like the on-board editor they had for submissions. Maybe it's changed since I was there a few years ago, but I still think they SHOULD focus on comics.

    Do you love every story you write equally?

    You can use the same tactic for a story, I imagine. I'm not just not quite sure how that would go.

    Do you love every story you write equally?

    Of course not. No one should ever feel like that, because if they did, they don't improve or expand their horizons, or challenge their skills. You shouldn't like everything you write, and you shouldn't like writing everything you write.

    Dear crazies!

    I'm sorry. I honestly couldn't get past the Prologue. Numerous instances of "why are you using this word", which then makes me wonder if this is a translation through AI, and if so, it's not a very good one, I'm afraid. Try not to use words you really shouldn't use. It just kills your story. 😊...

    Tapas

    I started a book on Tapas and didn't really see much of a response. It's really all about the comics there. *^^*

    Really, peanut butter is a lot more versatile than folks think. You can do just about everything with it. One of my specialties is a peanut butter and jelly omelette. :love: But yours sounds really good too. I might have to try an omelette with all of that.
