Every time someone brings this up (about once every four months or so) I do. Find almost nothing, every time. (Mostly due to using fairly common names, or names that were used by others - Pyrroth, for example, is a location on the Pathfinder world of Golarion (with permission), a character in...

To quote Tom Lehrer* "To be smut, it must be ut-terly without redeeming social importance. Or ... the graphic pictures I adore. Indecent magazines galore, I like them more If they're hard core. (bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties, samplers, stained-glass windows...

You just have to come at the subject from behind, is all.

Interesting. Well I have about sixty chapters or so to go to figure out how to hit two of those four with an MC death... and the death that happened back around CH 10 or so was, apparently, a well-done minor character death. Now how does it modify things if the dead guy sticks around for a few...

Unfortunately, it is not available anywhere unless there's a novellization I haven't found, but the old TV series Doctor Who did a cute prologue in one of its earliest stories - the episode featured a new cast, with none of the series regulars showing up at all, with a new main character, who...

If it's purely fictional then, as long as you are consistent, it doesn't matter. If any historical characters are involved, though, you should use the Anglicized phonetic version of their names for recognition.

Usually, unless I have very tight time constraints that weigh on me, this feeling goes away when I finally sit down to write, though.

Very carefully. Often with a con... never mind that running gag. Usually, a prologue either tells something that happened long before the main story and sets up something important (the segment of Star Wars where R2 gets the plans from Leia is kind of a prologue to the rest of the film, though...

When I was a teenager, my grandmother bought me "The Smithsonian Book of Comic Book Comics" which included the main story from Action #1, Batman's first story (where he had two pistols like The Shadow frequently employed to gun down mooks, but went after the main bad guy with fists only), the...

There were a bunch of them on PocketFM. Only one seemed worth much and I'd have to spend a bit of time tracking it down. Haven't seen much decent zombie fiction in a while. Loved the Marvel Zombies episode of "What If...?!?" - one of the few times a cartoon actually scared me, in fact. But...

The original Joker - given that name by Robin, as he had none in the strip - was literally just an assassin in a clown suit. The Joker we know today didn't exist until his third or fourth appearance.

(From Four Faces by The Who) You must have heard of them A kind of screwed up blend, Split personality Two sides to fight And argue all night Over coffee or tea Well that's okay, I wouldn't mind, two shades Or even three, and that's no joke But with a four-way split, the pocket money's hit And...

Mine was up for five months on RR before I posted it here. Took three days to approve (and, mostly because I didn't notice it at first, three weeks for it to show up on searches) instead of the usual approximately 8 hours for the stuff I posted here first or exclusively.

Ah you published it there first? That can take a day or two longer (at least from my experience) to be approved (and the reverse is even worse).

Either it was removed or people are just clicking past it thinking it's a system thing they don't need to worry about (I did that with one submission a while ago - saw it with the next one, though)

Kelly (Strange Awakening) and Jack (Jack Diamond) frequently address the hypothetical reader directly - it's a perk of writing first person (though in the noirs that inspired Jack, the "audience" seems to be the character himself - he's telling himself how silly he's being or stuff like that)...

Normally it takes about 24 hours - if it hasn't been approved and you haven't been DM'd or emailed an explanation after 48 hours, make a Bug Report in the bug report forum.

I learned Pantsing from a friend who ran D&D that way - he would have a map, one monster written out, and one or two treasures, maybe a trap. Note that he didn't always even PLACE the treasures, trap or monster, just wrote them out. Then did the rest in his head. I figure I finally learned...

That's what every planner does, sure. But pantsers don't bother with that effort, just toss stuff out and revise when it doesn't work. And Plantsers like me ... do some of that but go with the flow for the rest.

Haven't been to that site but I think the software would limit that to screen shots only, which is a PITA to read later.
