    Foibles and Hated Tropes

    My late stepdaughter did. It freaked out a few of her teachers - she'd basically show up for tests and once or twice more a week. I'm not even sure how she did it (they tied grades to attendance, since people like her were cutting into the money the schools got from the state, about a year...

    Money Farm: The Art of Manipulation

    Except they became established first, and went through the reject bins at their respective agent's places, this is pretty much how Tom Clancy and James Patterson maintained their high release rates once they were established - they hired the "promising but not there yet" authors to join their...

    Foibles and Hated Tropes

    So did my stepdaughter (her youngest brother tried, was in danger of flunking out due to a new attendance policy, dropped out and got his GED in time to graduate with his classmates... barely). For some strange reason, until my Junior year in high school, I managed to get by without any...

    I've been reading fanfictions so much for the past two years and now it feels weird to read original stories again.

    But aren't half of those essentially baby fanfics, and the rest pediatrician fanfics?

    Foibles and Hated Tropes

    For the longest time I hated the "happily ever after" trope at the end of most fairy tales (years later found out this was a 20th century revision to the classics) - all these horrible things happen to these people, and yet they emerge unscarred, and often, aside from having a better position in...

    Advice that is useless. A collection.

    Seek a middle ground IMO - "Raising the ridiculously huge club over her head, her eyes shining with fury, she bonked him on the head."

    How do statistics work exactly?

    I think the quote Mark Twain attributed (it seems incorrectly) to Bejamin Disraeli summed it up best: "There are three types of lies: Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics"...

    How to write evil characters?

    "Evil" Characters do things that appear to be against the common weal. Some are motivated by cruelty (either they received nothing but it in life and wish to return the "favor" or they just have a chemical imbalance that makes them take pleasure from it). Some are motivated by a love of power...

    Just a bit confused

    An addiction to numbers, perhaps?

    Differences In Combat Between Wuxia vs. Xianxia???

    The difference is that big? I thought Wuxia was the term for "wire-fu" - martial arts moves believed possible but normally only attainable by special effects (i.e. "being on a wire") and Xanxia was just the literary form, with no holds barred because there's no budget to constrain it?

    Writing Prompt Amputated beauty collection

    Well, I wasn't naming any names, but if the shoe fits... :D (What I meant was I created a character who WAS an Incel before I'd ever heard the term in my life).

    Italics Problem?

    I had this happen somewhere today or yesterday but thought it was Royal Road not here. Or maybe it was in comments on story but not in the forum. Don't have the mobile app working.

    Writing What stories do you use as references for your work(s)?

    Oh then I did read it - but he had so many stories about that era (and I had a lot of the Jack Whyte stuff, to the point I was confusing ideas between them) I thought it was a longer series!
