    Dwarves as the Antagonists?

    Personally, I prefer to have most races/species possess members on both sides of the "protagonist/antagonist" equation. If an entire race/species is the bad guy, unless they were CREATED to be evil or just 'antagonists' by "Dark Forces" there will usually be at least one exception, or it will...

    Am I doing text boxes right?

    I don't believe there IS a right or wrong way to do it. I don't use text boxes at all, just a conversational note from VICC to the Traveler. A Traveler can call up their status but I've never bothered with formatting it as ... well, I didn't plot out that part that far ahead. And Dane doesn't...

    Getting to know each other.

    I write because there are stories trapped out there that WANT to use me as their vessel. It is not my duty to question the Story, but to submit to its will, and wrestle it into a palatable form if it comes out too raw.

    Is there a way to tell what is indie writer work here and what is translation?

    Well, a few weeks ago we had a poster who was doing an (allegedly) manual translation of a webnovel he loved in the hopes that it would take off and encourage the original author to continue rather than leaving it abandoned. Or so he claimed, but who knows, this might have been a legit motivation.

    "I'd mind control you to sleep with me, but ... well... I got nothing. No, literally, nothing down, ah ... there."

    A bit of advice

    One of them, I think ChatGPT, has been verified capable of cheating (it was playing a chess game against another computer and literally hacked into it to try to figure out the best next move).

    I Was Reincarnated Into a Dice, and Now the Hero Won’t Stop Throwing Me (New Isekai Concept)

    If it is on a necklace, it could easily be a pair of dice. I've seen ones with a glass "tube" that the dice could be rolled inside of, for example.

    Using IRL Companies

    This is a trademark issue. If my limited understanding of the laws are correct, as long as you don't use the company in way that sheds a negative light on them, or in a way that implies you own the trademark, you should be fine. If in doubt, contact an actual IP lawyer, not random people on...

    Is there a way to write a mind control story that's not a harem?

    You could research the old movie series Scanners, Katherine Kurtz's Deryni books or either of the two Tomorrow People television series for some ideas. Or even go through the first 200 or so issues of X-Men, especially the "Dark Phoenix Saga" and any stories involving Shadow King,

    What's the personal ethic code for your stories like?

    I frequently push myself to move outside of my comfort zone. Had one story, sadly lost to multiple computer crashes, that I kept having to step away from as it kept getting darker and darker as all of the characters were ... well, all but one, really... disgusting monsters - and that one may not...

    I Was Reincarnated Into a Dice, and Now the Hero Won’t Stop Throwing Me (New Isekai Concept)

    Dice usually refers to a set of one or more; a single randomizer is a die. Was he reincarnated into a set of dice (say two standard "knucklebones" - six-sided dice, or a full set of polyhedrals? Or maybe a set of d10s for percentile or Storyteller games?) or a single die?

    Guys! I've got an idea!

    This can be amazing - or a total mess. My favorite book like this was "The Red Tape War"; by Jack Chalker, Mike Resnick and George Alec Effinger - they did the chapters semi-randomly (the rules were the author who started the book could not write the final chapter, nobody could write two...

    Is This Good Humour?

    A few years ago, the Fox network had a cartoon called "The Tick" based on the comic books by Ben Edlund. In one episode, The Tick and his sidekick Arthur are listening to a wrestling match "Wait, what is that?" "[wrestler name I don't remember] has just pulled a scale model of the Eiffel Tower...
