"Let he who is without sin Ink the first Stone"?

Has anyone ever asked? Maybe The Butler's name IS Aric? Sounds more like it builds a full IKEA store, complete with cardboard meatballs and a maze of paths that may eventually lead out, or to the checkout lanes, or maybe to the restrooms but probably not where you are trying to go?

Since you seem to be basing this more on MMORPGs than TTRPGs, a ranged healer is kind of cool (they can be very unbalancing in a TTRPG but the need for "DPS" and constant shifting around makes them great for MMORPGs). As for the actual passage, it seems a bit wordier than it needs to be but...

Just try to keep the synopsis short and sweet and use it to make a potential reader curious about the story, rather than actually telling them what the story is,

I tend to get too wrapped up in the "cool factor" of longer fiction for it to be scary (for example, I think The Count of Eleven should probably have been one of Ramsey Campbell's most terrifying books, but I just got too caught up in the dark irony and the MCs continually more creative ways to...

While I am a fan of short synopses this is downright minimalist... Says nothing about the story (and the fact that it uses the same title as both Stephanie Myers' second series, the one that she wrote after she actually figured out how to write in the fourth Twilight book, as well as an...

If you remove the Yuri/GL angle and make the character a martial artist instead of a magic-user, you basically have the movie "The One" with Jet Li. Checking that out might help with some of the rough spots. As for the love interest, why not have it be the SO of one of the character's...

I can guarantee you won't be friends with everyone. Some of us are unlikable gits. And some of us are like me, that drunken uncle that everyone has stories about, but nobody wants to be around at the family reunion... Except I rarely drink...

Ten IN A ROW? Wow. I've got seven concurrently (but am forced to focus on two exclusively for a little while)...

I have backed into this situation myself, with Between Worlds. Had to chop some chapters up (and thus had to add a little bit of content and shuffle some material around) to get it ready for PocketFM (As Between Earth and Pyrroth). So far, 90% of the changes are cosmetic, so all I've done is...

1. In general, I won't post until I have at least seven, usually ten, chapters ready to go. Why seven? To put up two immediately and have five or more in reserve. 2, Outlines? I have a few notes, a few future scenes, and that's it. 3. Very accurate, since I write them after the fact... :D

Would depend on resources available and technology. Easiest upgrade would probably be ablative (i.e. temporary) armor, that gets "used up" as it protects. Best bet would be reinforcing both the shields and the armor a bit, rather than giving only one a big upgrade. Though I would probably...

Sometimes stories vanish because the author got an exclusive contract to publish for real. Sometimes they vanish because they were unauthorized translations...

I have a male villain use that repeatedly (and get slammed for it, usually verbally first, then physically)... "Stop confusing me with your mother."

I find I reuse enough names that I should probably do something like that. Not quite as bad as what I've heard Gene Rodenberry did (He used the name Dillon/Dylan Hunt at least five times, for example - including the original name he had for one of the Star Trek characters, the captain of the...

Also the Celtic "family" of names persists as well, usually by way of French adoption (i.e. Gwynyffyr became Genevieve became Jennifer, all meaning either "White Wave" or "White Hand" - which made it kind of amusing when ABC cast Gennifer Godwin to play Snow White on "Once Upon a Time")/

If you're really stuck for modern names, run a search for baby names (or, if you want a more specific thing, search for baby names about the time your character would have been born; so if the character is 20 years old, look for 2005 baby names). If you have a group of lesbians, from the few...

That was her racial ability - but she lost one self. However, I believe she did have the mental link thing going on.

Interesting concept (which can include some or most of those criteria above - or none of them) and a sense of humor.
