    Just remember one of the most successful sci-fi porn stories ever was "A Boy and his Dog"...

    Guns in Fantasy

    Change that to A- and you have 90% of my high school career... if you Add in "takes tests well" too... Heck, that skill almost landed me a job in Chicago that would have paid more than I've ever made before or since - was tested on Microsoft Access from having spent about ten hours working...

    Had you ever experienced a storm that made you fear for your life?

    A few times, usually snowstorms but we did have a few hurricanes pass close enough by to really mess stuff up

    Guns in Fantasy

    You could always take the route Zelazny did in Chronicles of Amber or Silverburg did in Guardians of the Flame and just rewrite the laws of physics so that the guns don't work the same way (jeweler's rouge in one case, and a chemical that explodes when wet in the other)

    How does your story compare to The Eye of Argon?

    Odds are closer than I'm willing to admit.

    Writing Prompt Becoming a incubus in the zombie apocolypse? - Smut story.

    "As long as he got one of those fancy systems..." Evidently he's never heard of Level Up Zombie...

    Reading or writing novels: which do you prefer?

    If I had the time to do both, I would like both equally, but now "stealing" time to read feels just like that - stealing time away from other activities like writing, work, or family stuff.

    Remake your old fictions?!

    I remake them because I can't find them. Or at least I try. Have not gotten past trying to remember what I had for Hunter's Moon, have three of the, I think seven chapters of The Grey Files re-written, have two of five chapters of Assassin King remade, and keep toying with another story that I...

    Webnovel Contract

    It's standard for new authors though - used to be, the best way to get "in" with a publisher was to write something in a series they owned, under a "house name" - get enough sales, they take a chance on your original work (and you have some clout to negotiate some control with).

    Writing Prompt Having trouble with my soul and magic...

    You quite simply have not met the proper requirements for sacrificial victims to devour. Start with two packages of Peeps - different colors and, if possible, flavors - and a can of Mountain Dew. If that does not work, go to Taco Bell and order one of everything. If that doesn't work, call an...

    Webnovel Contract

    From what I've read - they will own the IP entirely. You can't use it elsewhere without their permission, even for a stub/teaser. But they can re-use your material anywhere. If you fail to meet the minimum daily word count more than once in a week, you won't get paid for that week. Do it for...

    One sentence ghost stories.

    The Accursed Thread just would not die... :devilish:

    I don't want to Christmas right now

    You can't really rush the Christmas spirit (even though Dollar Tree has some Christmas stuff up). When it comes, it comes... Oh, there's a VERY oblique reference to this series in chapter seventy three of Between Earth and Pyrroth (in that universe, it exists as a seasonal comic book...) (As...

    New here. I need your opinion on my new book. I'm open to advice and suggestions

    I think you meant "should NOT get depressed"? People here don't give a lot of feedback, except in a few dedicated threads, or if you somehow stand out to them (usually if they see good AND bad - and feel they need to comment on the bad to hope it improves).

    So i am obsessed with science and fantasy so i had this idea to mix them to best of my knowledge

    Sounds a little like Ghost Rock of the Deadlands setting (Western/Horror/Fantasy mashup) ...

    How much coincidence is too much coincidence?

    Apparently, (per someone who claimed to be an insider but I never verified it) this is no longer in the "DC Writer's Bible," but until about 2005 it did include a line close to, if not exactly this: "Batman is the character, Bruce Wayne is just a mask he wears. No, he is not insane." Back on...

    Posted my first story - if you like classic D&D party style fantasy with a bit of progression, please check it out!

    Sounds like something I'd like but just don't have time to add anything to my reading right now (especially since my mind dumped a whole new idea for a story on me while I'm struggling to keep up with two already...)

    Dark fantasy or isekai power fantasy (LiRPG): which do you prefer?

    Depends on my mood. I generally prefer to read or game in Dark Fantasy settings but write more power fantasy/LitRPG/Isekai

    Anyone interested in psychological horror short stories?

    I would be, but haven't even had time to write, let alone read, much lately!
