I had read "the Eiger Sanction", it was by a author by the name of "Tremayne" (spelling?) Anyways, I liked it so later on when I saw another paperback by him, naturally I bought it. Actually it was one of those "two books in one" deals. SO I read the story I wanted to read, then... "the Main"...

Then allow me to make a case for Tachyon... (this is real life, by the way. Your reader could verify this much watching space/time math documentaries) a tardyon is anything that travels less then the speed of light a tachyon is anything that travels faster then the speed of light In EInstein's...

Time travel. I get the "Paradox" part. And it jogs the noggin about the "identical twins paradox" concerning time travel. Its the "Cipher" part I don't like. I love the word cipher, its just that it doesn;t seem to relate to this context. A Cipher is a code. You need WW2 style code-breaking, to...

@PurpleXanmal : you can see it highlighted. I right-clicked... "open link in new tab", and... as you can see, on the address bar... its finding the USER (you) just not that particular item you linked to. PS - I was teasing. You said "welp, off to publish my 7th book now..." and I went...

The longer any thread here goes on? The mathematical statistical probability of someone finding a way to work the word "futa" into a post? Approaches "1". With a confidence interval of (i=.92) I voted for "dragon skinner", then "blood bull" as a second choice. *shrugs* they sounded really...

me too! I have a work that was in "book jail" for weeks, to see if it was too smutty for smut-hub. it was approved finally, but... that means my *raunchier* than that stuff, could use somewhere to post it. PS - with traceable digital ID? I could finally track down my "invisible readers"...

*never mind*, not taking the bait. lol @PurpleXanmal : Okay, I took the bait. I figured with sweet snark such as that... I gotta see what that user is up to. Yeah. you got a little fire going on your three series up on your page here. Good job. Glad you found some success. word to the wise...

I mean, did someone run an ad somewhere for me? If so, thanks for being a sport.

Get used to it, lol. Depending on your tastes, you will shake your head at some of the... 1.3 zillion views in one of your genre tags. you look at the cover. you read the blurb. and you sit back and realize it. "This? Is hooving my ass up between my shoulder blades." As I said, get used it...

I can understand it in "freshman level" work. They're just starting out. They have a handle on writing itself, now they need to work on the other mechanics. (lord knows that's where I'm at) its when I've seen it in actual published paperbacks, that it makes me about faint. this is what a real...

Now that @Alski brings it up... maybe I was in that thread too. if its the one I'm thinking of? "put me in the screencap!" (do we do collages here? if not, we should start)

I'll apologize that I have a lot of my own words for everything. I'm sure "The Oracle" (@Eldoria) has an entire series of lectures in her "Narrative Calculus 7: the gender paradox" textbook she's writing. (and I'm suspecting there's an official/proper terminology word for what i'll call...) "a...

and that's hitting the nail squarely on the head. Look at it this way. Take "gender" out of the equation entirely, and replace it with something else entirely you have no experience with. Say... a factory that builds passenger jets for airlines. Where would you even begin? ---how does a plane...

1. Napoleon is famous for this quote: "good luck is typically with he who has the most cannon." 2. Not sure who said this: "Luck is just what we call it when preparation finally meets opportunity." 3. From experience, here: ---skim the test quick. Categorize everything into three classes of...

I would say "skill issue", but I will add because I try to be fair and balanced... "experience issue". I would put forward the notion that writing the other gender and not making cringe... is one of the first things that show up in writing. (I mean when all other basic competency is there) I...

but then you *also* come to accept that even once you have some readers and views going... you still get zero engagement. I have no knowledge of how to convince readers I won't "bother" them, I just want feedback and input to work off of. I think some degree of this stems from when articles...

I'm supposed to want a bigger number, because bigger is always better, right? Right?? or maybe I've been going about this wrong...

a vote for *characters*... a vote for *plot*... on another site, we've had the "plot vs characters" arguments many times. I mean you need both, but... its hard to say one is more important. maybe technically I sometimes lean more towards character, especially with a straightforward plot. but...

What causes the players to lose items of clothing in this game?

Okay, time to share the "secret weapon" again. (bear with me, OP, you will *never* forget this) When I started out, my MC was reading "okay", but I myself complained about the side characters. I heard a reviewer call some movie "cardboard cutouts" for characters, and I realized THAT was what...
