If you've read the novels, Strahd was basically a dark hero - ruthless but usually for the right reasons. Until Sergei brought his fiancee to the Von Zarovich castle and he was smitten. He has a lot of parallels to, when he's written well, Doctor Victor Von Doom in Marvel comics, actually...

Loki is an interesting choice here. In the comics, he started out as pure evil, not even a true trickster god (Tricksters are usually teachers, just ones who teach by negative example - either by tricking a hero into doing the wrong thing so that they have to redeem themselves, or by DOING the...

Traditionally, the only way any artist can make their work appreciate in value is to die ... oh, not THAT kind of appreciate? Hmm...

The MCU did Thanos a disservice. Sure he's been retconned more times than The Spectre has had his power level shift (From an intergalactic thug who traveled around in - believe it or not - a helicopter, to a universal mass murdering cult leader, to an ecoterrorist, to, in the old Silver Surfer...

Whatever length you need to progress the story at that moment. In the novel Howling Mad, Peter David had a chapter that consisted solely of one sentence ("It seemed the polite thing to do.") because that was what he needed in that moment. In GENERAL, for print you want somewhere between 750 and...

Hmm - never heard of Lichdom - is that the updated Mage: The Ascension? And Night Shift - the old monster hunting game from the 90s or did that name fall out of copyright and someone else is using it?

I have written three reviews, two for Completed stories (one I had to revise after it was Completed), and one for a story in progress. If your story is still in progress, you are less likely to get reviews (and, from what I've seen, are more likely to see negative ones, to warn other readers...

If I ever find the flash drive that held a story I started a few years ago, about a guy who's effectively a half-elf government agent fighting extradimensional threats - but who's "day job" is as a country artist, I might use Suno to create some of his songs... But the odds of finding that...

Don't really know quite yet - I've finished arcs but not full stories.

I would generally prefer to see the character START with it and find a way to overcome it (even if it gets healed later) over the course of the story than to suddenly have it happen myself.

My wife has complained of these issues as well. A joke the author used twice in the GrrlPower webcomic is a character with a T-Shirt (one he says he saw in the real world) that reads "Stop Staring" in braille...

There's a website called Suno that is designed to turn text like that into actual music (using the accursed evil known as AI to do so, so tread with care... :D)

Man, if I had time to get involved in any more projects this would be in my wheelhouse, but I don't - good luck!

I've seen it attempted twice, once in a series that I only remember that it did have a weird tonal shift between volumes (I think there were four but it was something I read when mom worked at the library and I grabbed random stuff off the shelves waiting for her shift to end so we could go...

Generally a trilogy is consistent among genres and retains most or all of the same characters. I'd suggest having the gender bending happen ither in the first or second book. and keep the whole thing action/comedy or parody (as an example, the anime - and I assume manga, though have never read...

1. Read Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. (The first novel or, if brave, first two, not the full series). 2. Be in complete awe of his ability to describe everything but his characters in minute detail so that you see, hear, feel, even smell what's going on. 3. Don't even try to do that... 4...

One of the vict... er main characters in a horror story I lost to a hard drive crash was literally like this - he wrote horror fiction himself, so that he would not preform the very horrors he wrote about (and his girlfriend was into S&M and encouraging him to ... use a bit less detail in his...

Much like her grades in school, her cup size was an A minus.

One story is about forty chapters or so from finding out... (the death was planned from the beginning and hinted at a few times... the next generation is slated to carry the story forward)

I think Xianxia is like the music of the Beach Boys - if you like it, you don't notice that there are only ten actual songs in their catalog, but about a hundred sets of lyrics that keep re-using three of those songs (one of them almost admitted this during their "Endless Summer" miniseries back...
