As long as they at least FEEL accurate, as if the author has experienced them, or studied them well enough to "fake it". Some of the audionovels my wife listens to try to mimic Western culture but exaggerate some bits, ignore others, and do it all with Eastern values behind the scenes, and it...

As far as I can tell, foreign schools focus far more on teaching English Grammar than American ones do - heck, we had a teacher in my high school who fought the administration for permission to run a grammar class; she was allowed to teach it once every three years; unfortunately, I was...

Well, that was also kind of the plot to the fifth book in "Incarnations of Immortality" by Piers Anthony (...and Eternity).

That's often when I write the most (granted half of it needs serious revisions...). Hope you get better soon.

Brunhild? Hmm - I would have thought Boudica but he was big on the Norse stuff (IIRC his first published work was a prose version of a Norse saga... either that or a story inspired by one and H. Rider Haggard did the prose version of a different one), including a fact I never noticed myself -...

No, they were explicit in that his mistakes were his lack of inclusiveness (as they define it)... So, they have multiracial elves (kind of cool, except the only elf we see initially who faces racism from humans is also the first brown-skinned elf, so the viewers don't really know if it's the...

When a Siren Calls? :biggrin_s:

Absolutely. I wanted to like Rings of Power. It had some good things. But the attitude of the producers before it came out ("At last, we finally get to correct the errors in Tolkien's masterwork!") and that gawdsawful ice climbing scene - they could gotten better results from a well-painted...

Ah - I guess, technically, the romance novel I have sitting on my hard drive would be reverse harem then... At least for 23 of the 28 written chapters and two or three more (Before she finally settles on one guy and the others find other women; the first "other guy" shows up in CH 5 and the...

Just out of curiosity, what exactly IS "Reverse Harem"?

If "Director" was unavailable, I'd prefer "Consultant" - advise the writer(s), director(s) and producer(s) but ultimately only provide advice, but no real "power" beyond that - and maybe do a walk on role for a scene. Edit: Voted Director's Accomplice just to see what the votes were...

Draw whenever you are inspired. Forced art usually FEELS forced.

Haven't really seen any - but I was not present in the class that discussed one of my very short stories (literally written in about fifteen minutes, and took half a page) that appeared in our college's literary magazine for half of a class period. I'm sure there were some bizarre comments and...

How central is it to the story? If it shows up a lot, or takes over at some point then put it out up front; if not, add it in later. Either stick with what you have or go down in the Artists forum and post a few possible options for either feedback, or to see if someone can suggest or even...
