    Do most readers know the purpose of the mark on TOC

    Weird thing is it seems to be completely random for my own stories...

    Fetishes

    Wasn't that a Beach Boys song? By the way, the poll is incomplete - should be Yes No Only French Maids Only Keith Moon in a French Maid's Costume (Ask Alice Cooper about that one).

    How do you feel about protagonists who struggle on their journey to success?

    Depends entirely on how they are written - though if the MC does not struggle, the story is LIKELY (not guaranteed, but likely) to become fairly dull over time.

    (Feedback)Want to get my chapter 1 right before doing anything else

    Here's a section - the next paragraph after this was even stranger but: Inside, Jonah could feel stone underfoot [or "under his feet" - either one works], unyielding, unchanging; he could forget the suffocating, eternal smell of grain.

    Seeking Advice or Just Sharing My Story

    The best bet is to view writing as a side gig, something to do in your spare time, and work to support your family UNLESS the writing suddenly takes off enough to drop the rest of your work and focus on it. Granted, that system has only gotten me about three months' pay equivalent (over 40...

    When my new work be released?

    When this happens, either there's content that the site admin finds questionable, or there's reasonable suspicion this is a translated work and not original.

    Tell me about your polyamorous experiences!

    This feels like the setup for a Rowan Atkinson bit (though in that he's a minister who says: "The other day, I had a young woman who had just accepted her boyfriend's proposal come up to me and say: 'Father, I need to know - what is the church's stance of fellatio?' and I told her "I would love...

    (Feedback)Want to get my chapter 1 right before doing anything else

    IME, best way is to have someone else do it for you - but they usually want money (or you get what you pay for...) There are a lot of oddly constructed sentences - is English not your primary language?

    Is Gender Bender tag ruined?

    Honestly I think aesthetically he'd be drawn to women unless he was gay or bi beforehand, but biologically he'd be drawn to men (again, unless gay or bi beforehand) - and if bisexual, he'd likely prefer the opposite gender but still like both. That tracks with how they were set up at dad's...

    Is Gender Bender tag ruined?

    Ah, my bad with the history part. Thought they were found together. And the advance press I saw listed the Gnostic Gospels as apocrypha - I never saw more than the dust jacket myself.

    In no particular order: Hair Boredom Check out German Porn Ankles Half-human anime girls. (No I will not say which answer goes to which question)

    Is Gender Bender tag ruined?

    Half right. My dad had to read through a collection of the Apocrypha for his work (at the Toledo Public Library) when they were published (around 1990). He said most of it was garbage and reasonably cut from the New Testament - but those books DO exist. The Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of...

    Does it have something to do with the Avatar series? One of the rarer elements?

    Fetishes

    Wait - are you talking about magical fetishes (icons of power) or kinky stuff? Clarify your terms first!

    Why don’t they just cultivate the art of sharpness already? ?

    That is part of the blacksmithing path, not the melee artist path. Ever see Kill Bill? The Bride studies sword construction from a master because it is a different skillset.

    Is Gender Bender tag ruined?

    I take it you are unfamiliar with the apocrypha, then? In one of the books the Nicene Convention rejected out of the Dead Sea Scrolls, it clarified the "love thy neighbor as you love thyself" line to mean "in all ways, and regardless of their gender, as does our Messiah"

    Dropped because of mc

    The only book I dropped because of the MC was an American comic book, Punisher 2099 - not a fan of the modern Punisher but liked this guy even less, despite everything else about the book being great. ALMOST dropped the first Thomas Covenant series because he's such a douche, but had read the...

    "Stepping Outside, Refreshing the Mind"

    For me, one day of rain = no effect. Two or more = unable to fully wake up.
