Darius Smellstrongly. Lord Fistwick, Fifth Earl of Bottomslap Downs.

INTENTIONALLY write NTR. When I accidentally did it, I got compliments on it (though there were also a few requests to kill off the guy who was being NTR'd)

I'm tired of people complaining about the power level of other writers' characters. They wrote the characters they either felt they needed to or that they believed readers wanted - if they're not getting an audience, then give them your opinion on what they're doing wrong... If they have an...

The runes as full words thing was both how they started and how they were used in areas where not all those viking spoke the same language (some were Norse, others Rus, others more "pure" Germanic groups but all shared some common symbols and even the same gods, though they often said the names...

Lots of it. 40+ years worth. The world has been destroyed and rebuilt at least once. went from zero to one to two to three back to one moon (with reasons for all of these changes).

That sounds almost like one of the abandoned plot threads in, I think it was, Confessions of a Revenge Queen, an audio novel my wife listened to. They kept forgetting that she could project thoughts, or that she could sometimes read them, for about forty chapters, and then that power suddenly...

Well, gee, and I thought my "Writing is only the third most important of my four part time jobs" was a good excuse but no, this is better.

Is it less than $50 per book? That seems to be the going rate around here for access to other worlds... That and whoring yourself out to find players (or going to conventions, which isn't much different)

The most common advice I've seen veteran writers give hopefuls is best summarized as this: 1. Write 2. When not writing, read - read ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, even stuff you don't like, just read. 3. When not reading, go out and observe, watch people interact, observe nature, watch a traffic...

Or were you just NTRing the subject?

Depends on the edition of D&D ... though most of my friends are (like myself) either married (though some would probably be up for dating anyway...) or just "not playing THAT game (i.e. "dating") any more" Heh. When I moved from Chicago to Boston, I went through about 20 notebooks and kept the...

Unless your map is text, no - you would have to post it to an image hosting site or to this forum and then include a link to it. Also you can technically only upload one chapter at a time, but you can schedule multiple uploads (and if you do more than five in 24 hours you are usually flagged as...

A lot of authors, at least in the 70s-90s, created a few words in other languages and inserted them into English text to give an alien feel to the language (also used non-standard syntax and grammar). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (and I try to use this myself), but it beats making a...

Oh, then you're just following a different character? Yeah, you should mention their name as early as practical but not shove it in the reader's face.

If it is first person, then you probably should, at least until your audience gets a feel for each character's "voice" - my wife was listening to an audiobook where the shifts were jarring (especially given that a woman was reading it and two of the three narrative characters were male).

AoT - Attack on Titan? Only saw two episodes and thought it was more science fiction than fantasy (though heard something about a genre redefining twist near the end that ticked off some fans, and justified the love others had for it so ...) or is this a different AoT?

Closest I've seen to this one was the short-lived Doctor Who spin-off, Class. Unless there's some My Hero Academia fan-fiction that follows this mold. Oh, or Joel Rosenberg's Guardians of the Flame series - but that was not a WHOLE class, just a gaming group from one class, who's teacher was...

Ah - only saw the poll and didn't see the other two questions. 1. Answered above - I've seen too many wildly different things categorized as "dark fantasy" to be able to say "yes" or "no" - even within one single line (the Ravenloft novels from TSR back in the nineties), the variety was...

Just a heads-up - that is a great strategy for a PRINT novel, but for a webnovel, it all but guarantees the majority of your readers won't get to the real story.
