It is really hard to maintain a humorous attitude in a long story. I prefer stories WITH humor but not focusing on humor, unless the author is VERY good... Might read a humorous fantasy harem story but probably not...

Nothing but a second hand emotion.

I work from story idea backwards and create the character(s) I feel I need for it. So can use all or none of these, depending on the situation.

I tend to write 8k to 10k a week - which wouldn't be bad, but with two ongoing stories, I should be doing 14k-21k a week...

Well, yeah, and a very small nation.

It fell between the cushions of a really big couch and the charity guys took it...

Also the Justin Flinchley stuff - the last one in your sig - is pretty close to what the OP is looking for, from the sound of it.

Well, I tried to do that in Strange Awakening (the gender swap thing) - not sure how effective it is though. Have toyed with some of the rest of it but never got past concept stage.

Sorry - I stopped reading at either 8 or 9 and missed one. Thought 11 was where the partnership started, not 12; the first one they share credit on was about 35-40% Jordan's work and the rest Sanderson's, the next one was about 10% Jordan and the last one was almost entirely Sanderson.

Honestly it's tough. My most successful one just opens with the character waking up and realizing he's in a woman's body - a woman who lived a life very similar to his, but definitely not the same. And that is the first chapter. The hook being "how did he get here (and, other than the gender...

The few times a new author stepping in and working out, usually include the original author being involved with their first steps (c.f. the Wheel of Time series - around book six, Robert Jordan discovered he had a terminal illness, and he spent a year looking for someone to finish his series if...

There are always bright spots within the music industry, but more stuff is churned out every year, and it seems the absolute worst of it is what becomes popular. Just check out college radio stations or Deejays willing to play stuff not on the "Top 40" or Billboard's Top 100 songs and you'll...

The reason for this is that with a print novel, the reader has already put an investment of time (either going to the library, going to the book store, or just ordering it) and possibly money, so they have an impetus to continue so that they didn't waste that time. If they eventually get a...

I really want to get to the musical episode - done well those can be amazing (see The Magicians - especially the one in the final season - for examples, or, I've heard but not yet seen, the "Once More with Feeling" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer). If done badly ... well Riverdale had about...

Oddly enough, this is a GOOD strategy for a print novel, but an awful one for a webnovel - you need to hook people in early and keep them hooked (this latter seems to be my failing).

Aside from the paranoia about acid rain and nuclear war, it wasn't too bad (and there was a bit too much Big Hair - a little is nice but EVERYWHERE? Ick). Though we did not appreciate how good the music we had was until the next generation started putting out their crap... :s_tongue:

I try to - but lost a lot when a computer just stopped working (including the hard drive)... And, of course, if I remember to do this 9 times out of 10, guess which time something goes wrong?

Hadn't noticed that. Did notice them almost rehabilitating T'Pring before she needs to be rehabilitated. But then I only managed to watch all but one or two episodes of S1. Only one TV has access to Paramount Plus so have to watch when the wife isn't home or stuff she wants to watch and...

1. That is one of the most masculine anime-style faces I've seen in a long time. 2. Looks like a trading card from a series - if there were multiple covers in this style with different images I might pick one up just as a collector's curiosity thing. Might ... except 3. I'm unlikely to pick...

It would depend on the terms of use in the license agreement as there are no blanket laws that I am aware of (though a misapplication of the first amendment could be used to CHALLENGE them doing this, with or without a specific clause in the EULA). As far as I can tell (from this thread and some...
