English is more complicated than that. It started as four separate languages, two of Germanic origin (Old Norse and Anglic) and two of Celtic origins (Welsh and Pictish - so kind of a Slavic root with hints of India - yes India - as well as proto-Spanish thrown in for good measure) that were...

Well, those stories all started sometime between March and November of 2024 (sort of - the first paragraph of Strange Awakening was the result of a challenge issued on a gaming forum about ten years ago, that sat on my hard drive with nowhere to go for three years, then I got a game called...

EVER would be a tall order, with about 40 years of running role-playing games, some of which wound up intentionally ludicrous (probably the "worst offender" was a villain group called "The Market Force" - led by Option, who could turn into a fire-breathing bear or a giant bull who could turn...

I haven't yet. So fell from roughly 1.5 chapters a day when not working to two a day when hospitalized, to 4 a week when I started my first part time job, down to 2 a week when I'm lucky after starting a second one.

For Jack Diamond, I'd be Jack's ghost writer, putting his jumbled thoughts into a slightly more coherent form. Dane Coleman ("Digital Cowboy Dane" - Pocket FM) would be amused by me, thinking I was driving his world when, in fact, multiple forces were conspiring to create it in the first place...

Of course, but mom still saved most of those awful comic strips and bad "radio play" scripts I made when I was 6 or 7...

The first time I heard the term was relative to Superman - Lois Lane was in love with the man in the circus costume, while the man in the business suit, Clark Kent, was in love with her and she wanted nothing to do with him (for about 50 years, before she finally noticed him ... and then...

I just write. If it gets to the point where a "real" publisher is interested, I'll let them worry about the competitive side of the equation.

Though I suppose we can't rule out a combination - he was trying to make fun of the thread title, but the effort gave him a stroke...

I figured either that is exactly what he was doing (parodying thread title) ... or having a stroke. Really wasn't sure which.

If you only have a dozen or fewer chapters do the revisions and make an Author's Note on them and on the summary/preview/synopsis thing.If it's longer than that, either just bull through until the story is finished and then release a corrected version, ask your readers if they don't mind you...

Commenting so I can hopefully find later.

If you're translating your own works, you should either: 1) Contact the site owner, Tony, and clear it before or when first posting (you may be asked for proof that it is yours when you do so, so have that on hand if possible), 2) Post to the sister site, NovelUpdates.

That's not a harem story - that's an STD research project funded by multiple paternity suits!

That sounds like what Robert Jordan was going for with Rand Al'Thor in The Wheel of Time series. Not sure if that's the direction it WENT but that seemed to be where he wanted to take it (stopped reading at about book 8)

That's probably an official maneuver, "The Geneva Checklist"

Hmm... well some of the oddball genres like NTR can only be fixed through neutering like a pet (which is also the way most politicians seem to wind up "fixing" problems... often ones they created... but I digress)... Normally, if I hate a genre, I won't read it so never really thought about...

That is not for me to decide but for the reader. What I consider worthwhile may be another person's waste of time, and what I consider trivial might be their favorite detail. I write to challenge myself, to see if I can do this or combine that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - and...

In literature, animal deaths are taken a little differently than in visual media. In movies, TV, etc. animal deaths can drive audiences away (at least two movies failed at the box office because audiences just could not sit through the animal deaths on screen, though I don't know which two; Joe...

I planned one. Not sure if it will wind up being one or not (original working titles were: "Between Worlds: The Lost Archmage", "Between Worlds: Destiny of Two" and "Between Worlds: Legacy of Evil" but, it will probably be one single book - Between Earth and Pyrroth - on Pocket FM; it would...
