Depends on where in Odin's lifecycle the meeting occurs. In his early days, back when he had two eyes, he was brash and impulsive. Sacrificing one eye, and then hanging, spread-eagled and upside down from the World Tree for a time (if the sources I've seen are correct, he originally spent a...

Don't think that's the right word - probably "seas" or maybe "scars" of time? The "you" is a bit disconcerting here - should probably "that's all that's left" or "that's all they get" or something? There is some very clumsy construction there - if the actual book is this awkward, you have some...

Heh. I have one story I keep starting and then setting aside where the MC is the most unreliable narrator ever - I think he even lies to ME while I'm writing and definitely is never open with the rest of the cast...

Ah, never followed it so wasn't sure - most of the time I have followed links I found either "Author Jump Pages" or just a link to the search engine rather than to a specific book.

I don't think a direct link to the specific product is permitted, but it is allowed to say "You can buy the full book at Amazon" - I've seen at least two authors (one @ThatAdamGuy) who do this.

The problem with Gilgamesh is that there are multiple, often conflicting, versions of his story. I've only found two small segments myself (one of them considered "definitive" - but only about a page long, the other a little longer but with details disputed by those studying the myths!) but...

Unless you're writing in First (or, God Forbid, Second) Person, it doesn't really make that much difference to MOST readers, as long as you are consistent. I read a book once where the author shifted from First Person for the two main characters (switching off between them - they were sisters...

I don't know about the rest of it - you get into a morass of IP law if you look into it too much - I actually asked PocketFM about quoting song lyrics and was told (paraphrasing) "Titles are OK but, you're better off just referencing the song in terms that make it clear what you're talking about...

Zeus pretty much acts like a hormonal teenager anyway so... The young Odin seems good - have you seen an Australian TV show called "The Almighty Johnsons"? It has the Norse Gods hiding out in New Zealand until an event triggers their "activation" - and the youngest of them turns out to be...

Wish I could remember the name of it - there was a book that pretty much reversed what you're looking for - a character wakes up as a skeleton in a necromancer's army, only he remembers another life, kind of, and breaks free of the necromancer's control - only to discover he is a character in a...

No matter what I start out writing, it almost always, at some point, winds up being either: 1) Horror 2) High Fantasy 3) Super-heroes 4) Two or three of the above (usually two). That was probably why I did a lot with Star Wars back in the day, since it pretty much defines the "start out as...

I have one I'm working on where the game and the real world are more connected than most believe but most of the action is set inside the game's virtual reality. So far (part of two chapters and all of the very first take place in the "Outer World")... But the MC had never heard of the game...

Never heard of Rimworld - sounds interesting. I think I wrote two chapters for the story WAY back when - had a starship approaching the planet with a military team (including the MC, who would discover he was one of the rare few who could tap the Chaos Nodes) approaching the planet, and the team...

Until I hit my early teen years, I avoided female heroes unless they were part of a team, as much as I could because I just didn't want to read "girl's stuff" but since then, it no longer really matters much to me. If the hero is well-written and not having graphic sex at least once every...

As long as either they have some flaws or just have a sense of humor about it all (Jack Reacher comes to mind here - no special powers just BIG and nearly indestructible due to sheer cussedness; for that matter, Raylan Givens of Justified might count as well - he's got as many flaws as he has a...

Many years ago I toyed with a concept called "Caveworld" - the entire planet was, essentially, dried magma, riddled with holes, some of which run all the way through... But, deep inside it are the Nodes - each Node represents, in some way, the four classic Greek elements - Fire, Air, Water and...

I think, as with most of those games, it would get very tedious to read ... and even moreso to write, unless your whole "schtick" is the character complaining about how stupid the puzzles are. "Why would they hide this piece under that piece when I can barely move that without the other one from...

Another thread got me thinking about stuff I did in the past and I realized that any time I have multiple main characters (either a team, or a series of parallel stories, like the Omniverse project I've mentioned a few times was) I always have one or more of the following (usually all five but...

Why would you be worried about that? I've been including LGBTQ+ characters since ... well, since it was just LGB, about two or three years after DC admitted it had gay characters and almost the same time Marvel followed suit. But, aside from having one bi roommate (who was the first of my high...
