Pocket FM wasn't the one with the virus. There's a "scraper" that goes through several sites (primarily Royal Road) and pulls anything that does not list being posted somewhere else and does not have a strong DCMA statement somewhere and has AI do audio of it. I would have to go back into that...

The original cover to the Night Shift anthology by Stephen King kind of showed this (an image inspired by the included tale "I Am the Gateway") Marvel Comics kind of beat you to this - they had a mutant (AFAICT she showed up exactly twice, before editorial said "No, that's gross, stupid...

I gazed into the Abyss. It giggled and ran away.

Ah, one of mine wound up on a site like that. Never got to listen to it, as 1) doing so would have given them "permission" to keep it up due to their convoluted statement of rights, and 2) accessing the site set off every antivirus program I have before I could even get to the page. Never...

Well, if you're talking lifetime... I got into fantasy role-playing games in the early 80s and have been building some systems, worlds, and stories ever since. Have no idea even IF I could count them (and that is ignoring the ones in "official" IPs, like Doctor Who or Star Wars, which would add...

Hmm. Might be the title (the term "Voidmeister" makes me imagine someone who wins a fight by literally crapping all over their foe, voiding their bowels... maybe that's just me). Seriously, though, the "void" is an element of taijutsu, the "combat art" of the ninja (ninjutsu refers to their...

I just like to "wed" classic horror tropes with high or urban fantasy myself, and look for the same.

Since the Power Rangers have crossed over into all sorts of other media (I was trying to track down the Power Rangers vs. Godzilla series when I lost my job and couldn't afford comic books for a long time; Rita summons Godzilla, thinks she can control him. Godzilla laughs and goes on a rampage...

By "pull things" do you mean "how do you find them" or "how do you remove them"? Just saw the instructions for the latter yesterday. For the former, they have a decent search engine but it's better for searching for broad types of stories (and it can be a bit ornery and suggest the newest...

Pocket FM? It's an app - works best on Apple products but I use it on an Android well-enough. The company is based in India but has offices around the world, and is constantly looking for new writers - but then usually assigns AI readers to their works, often weak translations of some foreign...

Apparently, the sequel (a less successful book - Tom Brown at Oxford - and I only found out about it double-checking the author's name) went into that more, but School Days is based on, primarily, the author's brother's life at the actual Rugby School with a few bits of his own life thrown in...

Having visited their forums, I'm still not quite sure if they are.

The theory that Cristopher Stasheff used, and that I suspect is true, is that a civilization lasts as long as communications can reach from one end of it to the other in a reasonable amount of time (thus the importance of telepaths to keep worlds connected). Most empires failed after they...

If it's not central to the story, but there mostly to define the MC and maybe some of his or her relationships, it might be best to just show it as occasional flashbacks to critical points and ignore the rest of it. I mean, if you really NEED to depict the character's time in school, the model...

Until I was in my twenties, my eye color changed occasionally, based on mood, what I was wearing and lighting, from a deep blue to hazel - but are normally what I call "oil spill brown" - kind of a dirty color that hints at several other colors but is mostly light brown really. Maybe her eyes...

Typically, at least for most of my current projects, I write them on my phone, then edit them with a partial AI software package to add sound effects and music before publishing to Pocket FM. Oh, you don't mean the real-world mechanics? It depends on the story and how complicated I need the...

If you feel comfortable writing and sharing smut, by all means go for it. If you do not, don't. Simple.

Besides, if you only use the pros, how will the other nouns ever stop being amateurs?

Other than posting chapters to the wrong story, the same one you did (except it was chapters seven and eight in third person in an otherwise first person story - caught it as I was about to upload 8)

It is a version of classic Portal Fantasy stories, like Chronicles of Narnia, where characters from one world go to another - only, in the isekai case, they usually go from a world similar to the one the assumed reader lives in, to a very different one. This allows the writer to reveal the world...
