    The Key to Successful Stories is Resonance

    The Marvels had a major problem in that silly "Disney World' scene where everyone communicates through song and dance alone... Kind of cute but mostly just DUMB (especially when a bilingual character turns up)... Maybe that is NEGATIVE resonance?

    Are Webnovelists the Modern Pulp Fiction Writers?

    I think they may be more of a throwback to the tradition the pulps came out of, the tradition that gave us Dickens, and the various serialized novels of the late 1800s. I see more in common there than with the pulps - though a lot of pulp themes resurface in webnovels

    Is having your own site worth it?

    Tried using Wix for the Modern Doll website back after there was a rights issue (long, LONG story - and a pretty boring one), but had one of the doll artists put together something on her own site that worked better than what I was putting together so I'm no longer their webmaster... It does...

    Looks nice. Too long for me to listen to now though. Hopefully this evening.

    Is having your own site worth it?

    If I had access to a free server, you can bet I'd have my own site, but I'd have to be making money from my writing to be able to afford a site. Heck, I used to have a fairly elaborate (but unpolished) site back when AOL had server space for one (site vanished from even the Web Archive service...

    Blackpink's Lisa is dropping manga

    It is a cash grab, regardless - but if it's good, nobody minds. If it's not, it was a clear publicity stunt... :s_tongue:

    Why cant people see my novel i posted

    It's possible the author stopped posting for a reason, like they're negotiating a print contract or have an exclusive agreement pending somewhere, an agreement that your actions may jeopardize.

    Blackpink's Lisa is dropping manga

    But isn't this technically a manwha not a manga? I wonder if any of the k-dramas my wife used to watch before she decided she prefers to watch Youtube and Instagram on her tablet instead of TV shows on a television used Blackpink music?

    Mine would probably be more of a joke book. That or a (bad) play...

    Would You Want to Become Your Book?

    Ah, but, as Tom Lehrer said, "all books can be indecent books. The recent books are bolder, for filth (I'm glad to say) is in the mind of the beholder; when correctly viewed, everything is lewd. I could tell you things about Peter Pan, and the Wizard of Oz (there's a dirty old man!)"

    Writing Prompt What would you add to make this story worse?

    She didn't survive - she died. And a drunken goddess regressed her ... or tried to regress her back into an earlier point in her life to save them, but missed her target by a few feet (and a few species) so now she is a cute fluffy bunny with all her human memories, and a System that would give...

    Would You Want to Become Your Book?

    The books are a part of me already - why would I want to make that reflexive?

    Fantasy Clothing Style Index (In progress)

    Several role-playing games have already done this - the "Goods and Gear" book put out by Kenzer and Company for the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting (in D&D 3.x and HackMaster 4th Edition) had some great examples, some straight historical, some tweaked for setting deviations. There were two books...

    Writing Writing rules (other than show don't tell) discussion.

    Sometimes those are mutually contradictory... Best use of this that I've seen was in an old video game, Sam and Max Hit the Road. The two characters wind up at a wishing well, and Sam tosses in a coin and says, "I wish I knew what Max was thinking." and Max thinks "..." "......" "........."...

    Why do so many people like netori?

    You ever read the original comic book series The Tick? Ben Edlund created a company that hires out a supervillain (the same "brick" with different themed costumes - Whirling Dervish, The Red Scare, etc.) to help superheroes make their debut (and Running Guy - who is "as fast as ten fast men!"...
