    Four Ages

    Cool, though my memories (mostly supported by a Google Image Search) suggest he should have a bit more yellow or brown in his scales - the more gray color looks like a different type of Monitor Lizard.

    Should An Evil Protagonist Save The World?

    Depends on the character. Doctor Doom has saved the Marvel Multiverse on at least one occasion, whole worlds on others. Lex Luthor has helped save the world a few times. The thing of an anti-hero or villain saving the world is: what is in it for THEM. The aren't doing it because it's the...

    Does the length of a web novel play into your decision to read it?

    If it's marked as Complete, then no. If it's live ... I don't want to get into something that I will never "catch up with"

    One-liners

    From my old RPG days: "Those who accused me of 'playing God' fail to understand that the whole purpose, the entire point of Science is to understand God so that we may one day replace Him..." "My powers are so far beyond your comprehension that ... that you cannot possibly begin to comprehend...

    Maybe its methamphetamines or cocaine?

    How do you write fighting scenes?

    So far, for me, the answer seems to be "A little differently every time..." :D

    Human vs Nonhuman MCs?

    Would depend on the author for me. I mean, the Circle of Light series had animals (much like Brian Jacques Redwall, which my wife loved but I have not read, but more varied), and, technically, both The Hobbit (Bilbo) and Lord of the Rings (Frodo) have non-human leads. But sometimes it's easy to...

    How do they do it?

    The only "pay" I accept for running games is in the form of comped convention access, free or discounted rooms and free or discounted food myself, but I know a few people who make some supplemental income from running games. The first "professional DM" identified in the US kept his day job for...

    [Help] The new novel cannot be searched in the search and does not appear on the latest home page

    If you posted >10 chapters over 24 hours, you probably got flagged as a spammer. I would suggest deleting all but the first four chapters from your account and then making a post in bug reports or just pinging the site owner ) an @ sign and his name, Tony) with an explanation as to what appears...

    Honest Opinions on My Story Stats After 1 Month? (38 Chapters In)

    If you combine all three stories I started with, you have my stats at the end of month one (my only real "success" here took off about midway through month two - ironically at about the time I STOPPED having a consistent upload schedule!), so you seem to be doing well as far as I can tell.

    Is it worth going back to split up larger chapters?

    Depends on how easy they are to chop and why you are considering it. When I started adapting one story for PocketFM, I had to really butcher a few chapters to keep them in the "1000-5000 accepted, 1200-3000 preferred" length they require and it was harder than originally writing them (also why...

    The deliberate overuse of "Yandere" tag needs to stop.

    So would Mandere have the lover be a dude, or just become one when killing? And would Jandere involve tractors?

    The deliberate overuse of "Yandere" tag needs to stop.

    So are you saying the tag has become more "Yawndere" these days?

    Trying to write crippling overspecialization in a balanced stats system.

    Ah - back when I first got into gaming, I had an idea for a "balanced" system. First, you had three ratings - Physical, Mental and Personality. Each rating was ranked from 5 to 20 for a human (actual range was 1 to 50 IIRC). Within each category, there were three actual stats, "bought" by...

    Feedback on my New Cover Art

    Definitely more readable. Not a fan of kitchen-sink titles myself (especially after having to butcher mine for PocketFM) but this looks like it gets the basic ideas across.

    shifting gears

    I'm not a fan of smut, but I'd read THAT one.

    Chosen One or The Power Runs in the Family?

    With Between Worlds (aka Between Earth and Pyrroth) I split the difference, and one MC is kind of both. But usually I don't go for either, preferring more a "wrong place, wrong time" scenario

    Feedback on my New Cover Art

    Well - you could make it part of a banner or a second "wanted poster" type inclusion. Put it on a "parchment" colored backdrop and make it stand out.

    Writing In response to all the recent cynical posts...

    Not sure how good they are as marketing, but they are delightfully unhinged...
