A villain with the ability to clone accounts might be interesting. Also a rich kid ("Whale") who solves everything in the real world by throwing money at it finds this does not ALWAYS work in universe...

It was a Television show back in 2020 - looks like maybe Turkish or something like that. According to Webster it means "the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution" And they add: In Greek, ēthos means “custom” or “character.” As...

All, some, or maybe none of the above...

Use the crappy one on my laptop and the crappier one on my phone so nothing interesting here!

Normally werewolves are either voluntary shapeshifters or cursed humans, depending which tradition you follow. Scandinavian and several Native American versions had people who wore enchanted skins to transform (the Scandinavian ones only used wolf pelts and would heal from all wounds unless the...

That is a cool example. Never heard it before! Well, outside of those versed in Jewish lore, classic film buffs (Der Golem predated the second version of Frankenstein by about a decade - the first version was a short by, IIRC, Thomas Edison, that was not very good but showed the potential of...

I'm just waiting for someone to start with a head cannon... (doesn't matter if that's where it's mounted ... or what it shoots... or both...)

But MOST (not all, Circle of Light and Redwall both seem to do well without them) fantasy worlds include humans, usually as either the dominant race, the once-dominant race now in decline, or an emerging threat to the sovereignty of the other fantasy races (I think pretty much in that order of...

Had never heard that but it does not surprise me at all (neither part - that they had it that early nor that it was impractical with the alphabets used)

Wound up with: clip art and filters with AI for the background Also started a "Smut" Isekai thing with a working title of Crossed Destiny but no clue what to do with a cover there so far. Oh, and used an idea I tossed out and then abandoned here for a now complete first draft story on...

Huh. Never noticed that tab before. Thanks for pointing it out. Adapted From usually means the idea was not originally yours - either you based the story on someone else's works (but it's not a fan fiction; the final few books in the "Wheel of Time" series were Brian Sanderson adapting a...

The only non-patrilineal one I am aware of was historical, not fantasy (though I have seen at least one fantasy author reference it) - one of the Native American Tribes had a matrilineal succession. The men were hunters and fighters, the women did everything else, including make most of the...

Well, if your brave you could take on any one of these: Jack Diamond: Monster Hunter (Book 1: Diamond in the Rough | Scribble Hub (Completed) - though most seem to stop at Chapter Four. I've had two, nearly opposite, explanations why. Book 2: Blood Diamond | Scribble Hub) Strange Awakening |...

It's a series. Most of the books are really good, of the seven I've read, first one was probably the best. On a Pale Horse (1983) - Death Bearing an Hourglass (1984) - Time With a Tangled Skein (1985) - Fate (three aspects/incarnations in one) Wielding a Red Sword (1986) - War Being a Green...

IMO the pose is a little suggestive but I've seen FAR worse get a pass so not sure what the fuss was, unless the mod just was being overly cautious at first, and then got ticked off at the author when it was challenged.

Have half a day left in this year here... hope the faster parts of the world are having a good day.

Closest I've seen were post-apocalyptic fantasy stories like Brooks's Shannara cycle (Sword of Shannara, etc.), or the Change cycle (Ariel: A Book of the Change, Elegy Beach). Never really tried writing any.

Huh. Only noticed that on one of the sites I considered posting to - don't even remember which one now; did not post there for other reasons (I tend to skirt with adult themes, and that was a big no-no there unless you had a paid, age-restricted account IIRC).

I think the implication was that only people behind bars work those kinds of hours. Wow - the worst I've seen was a guy I knew in Chicago who worked three twelve hour days, had one day where he could be "on call" 24-7 but only had to work if an emergency came up, then had two days off, another...

All that remains to be said: If you really want to die on that hill in high heels, you'll probably do so with broken ankles while looking fabulous.
