My information comes from my studies in Australian Law. Murder is still murder. In the law you have two things that make up the crime. The Mens Rea (Intention) and the Actus Reus (physical action, which in this case is the killing of another person). In the end, you still intentionally planned...

You ultimately decide, but I think a story should end when the major focus of the story is resolved. A quick epilogue like something from Deltora Quest's ending about their future lives can help alleviate it, but it'll still feel like a slap in the face if your readers came in with high...

The big oversized Lego blocks and a massive 1.5 meter tall & wide stuffed teddy bear. Lots of fond memories reenacting a Kaiju rampaging through a city. Currently my 2 and a half y/o little brother's enjoying Hot Wheels and building blocks. Always fun to help them build, and to teach them the...

I thought people wrote Dwarf speech by how they sounded, not because it was correct. Like an accent. "Yer gonna get shived laddy."

You could split that 10k chapter into 5 2k chapters. You'd get a huge boost to visibility as well if you spread them throughout the day. Also keep in mind that not everyone can sit through 10k words. Sooner or later someone's going to stop reading, do something else, come back and scratch their...

You can honestly just explain the mana channels as being the only way to combine magic, meaning outside of it water and fire will normally interact but through the channels it lets them combine/enhance. It can be what separates gifted mages from the pack (less channels = weaker, more = stronger...

Yep what winterwhereof said. Copying straight from MS Word will keep all your formatting except for alignments. Spaces, bold, italics, everything. I have yet to run into issues on SH or almost any other website when copying directly from MS Word.

Face to face. I have two examples (although, 2d shapes don't generally have a 'face'.) 2D on a 3D face. Imagine sheet metal plastered on the side of a box or One side (the 2d side) is simply colored in the magic being used. This probably won't make sense for different shapes, unless you make...

Edges could define the strength of magic, or tiers like in Overlord. It'll give a good indication of how strong the magic is at a glance. - Circle = Lowest - Triangle = Second lowest - Square = higher - Pentagon = higher - Decagon = One of the highest - And so on. Elements could be as simple as...

It's complex, but good. The equation stuff is especially nice and really reinforces that magic is an important discipline in your fantasy world, kind of like how we view science/physics with all the interactions. I won't lie, it took me a couple times combing through (cause I'm also brain dead)...

Since it's a gender bender, I think the new cover is much better especially since (I'm assuming) the MC was a guy and turned into a girl.

Sincerely because it's calming and enjoyable. Addictive as well. It's kind of like seeing the stuff in your head come to life. You sort of 'live' the moment of your characters as you write (in the same manner as you read, except you have more control) and I really love that. Especially for...

Like any genre - If the book is good, then it's good. If it's bad, then it's bad. Just like fried chicken. There's a lot of it out there, but not all of them are finger lickin' good (I like KFC chicken, so maybe I do have trash taste after all). Still though, it's pretty popular and still...

"You've been marked for termination."

I used to use Azgaar and it's amazing! I think it should be fine since the site isn't malicious or anything, or if Smashwords disallows external links. If anything, you're helping people find a really and I mean really helpful tool for map creation.

Just your friendly neighbourhood megacorp getting intimate with dangerous monsters underneath a population of hundreds of thousands~ Nothing too special. Just regular monsters made from deeply-rooted emotions and trauma, so how bad could they be? Just like a petting zoo! Oh, did I mention that...

In general, a 'character flaw' is usually the defining flaw of a character. From selfless heroes to a greedy merchant, or a solider that lacks self-control/discretion. So long a character has a vice of some kind it'll stop them from being perfect, and it'll act as the theme for their character...

Difference is that in a fantasy setting you can chalk it all up to magic. Just call them the 'Undead' race. In Sci Fi much of the mystery comes from the origins and understanding how it works, etc which makes it fascinating. In a fantasy setting, it could be due to an Undead God that refuses to...

A JoJo stand that uses an oversized syringe for a pen.
