The superheroes of color? You mean like Martian Manhunter (green) ... or Jemm (red) ... or Kilowog (orange)... Or Impy, The Impossible Man (mostly green, but can change somewhat, and he isn't much of a hero, usually)... Superheroes are very colorful. Did you read the original Milestone run of...

What kind of scale are you talking here? Continental? City? Country? Region? Really, unless you have some level of OCD for realism or expect to turn your fiction into a game, you don't need to worry about the actual prices of things - just figure out if they're easy or hard for the character(s)...

You could always just push yourself TO rush through it, get it done, and then go back and revise later at your own pace. Or set it aside and work on something else for a while. Or grab that toxic friend and demand an explanation of their view. Maybe they are just a jerk, or jealous that they...

Hmm. There is some tension but its unclear (except from the comments, which make amnesia clear) whether this is a transmigration/isekai/regression thing and they just don't recognize each other fully or if he's suffered memory loss or personality alteration. Basically, this is a solid first...

Then just cancel the $10 tier, or suspend it indefinitely and reactivate when/if you get sufficient backlog.

And note, I'm saying the "almost unbeatable fighter kills in the arena to make money to take care of his mom and sister" is what felt familiar - the whole package, not just the motivation. And HE got stronger as the moon got fuller...

That large of a jump? Wow, neat.

How many have stepped in at each tier? Might be worth asking THEM about it, if they'll be upset if you fall behind and might want some money refunded or something. I think there is a way to interact with readers (I think my patreon expired as I never managed to set it up). Just come out and...

As far as I can tell, you are about twice as likely to get response to a poll as you are to get comments - but that is still a small sample, especially if you close the poll fairly early.

Note that this even happens to us native speakers. Most of the time, we borrow the correct word from another language, create a new word, or just GUESS.

The Deviation BECOMES the plot for significantly large values of "deviation."

That sounds a lot like the second major arc (and only one I've heard most of) in My Werewolf System - except it's his mother and sister, and mostly he's worried about feeding them and keeping them from losing their apartment.

Your best bet is to either pick a time and stick with it, regardless, or to experiment with different times, find one or two that seem to work best, and use that information. Due to this being a global site, there IS no single best time. Some days might be better, but then again, the number of...

No it is not. It often flows more naturally, but it can be tricky, and it can be VERY limiting. Granted, my three surviving stories are all first person... First person is more intimate and immediate, but it keeps you from moving away from the MC without either "head hopping" or having an "I...

Ambitious but not unprecedented.

Had to look them up. Frauds on that level appear in every industry. Some actually wind up with a real (though not exactly what they claimed) product, others are pure fraudsters. Kind of impressive that they pulled their nonsense off for 12 years before the lawsuits started coming in and it...

IIRC, they're more common in the "Russian Mafia" than in the true La Casa Nostra but do happen in both. Nah, I mean the anime looked like the three idiots who were literally men in women's bodies were going to eventually take over the Yakuza accidentally (every advance they made was by...

That was pretty much how Fifty Shades of Gray came into being - the author read Twilight and thought: "What if they met as adults, not teens, in a professional environment, and they used sex instead of blood for power?" Then she changed the character names and had a hit on her hands.

My first serious attempt at writing was met with a feeling of frustration and fatigue, as I knew it was the foundation of a fantasy world I wanted to make use of (and still do make use of, despite blowing it up back in 2001) for gaming and fiction, but knowing my players would probably never...

40? Young whippersnapper. Get offa my lawn... :biggrin_s:
