Here's two from the story I'm posting on Honeyfeed - in the far future there is a fast food restaurant that "we believe had a different name in the past but we now just call "Golden M"" and another one that... well, I wanted something like Pop's Choklit Shoppe from Archie/Riverdale, but high...

Psst: It helps if you either put a link to it in your signature or into the post itself. There is a tutorial in the General section of the site that covers this if you don't want to (as I did) trial and error it...

I heard that was pretty much how Claremont and Byrne planned out comic books - they'd work together on the big visual set-pieces, and then Claremont would go and write chunks to connect those scenes, send them to Byrne (or Cockrum) and get the rest of the visuals done to match the script. I...

I understand. I tried some animations in the past but never got more than five seconds of stuff (and that was with a lot of digital assistance)

Do you have examples of other stuff you animated so we can see if it's worth trying to push your numbers up (or find a way to suppress them, just in case)?

That would be nice, yeah. Though would it differentiate between stories where you are "current" (read to the last posted chapter) vs. those that are marked "Completed"?

As the ratings are highly subjective, they mean very little overall.

I do my first drafts on my phone - where it is every difficult to edit. Then, using Google Docs, open the file on my laptop when I have a few chapters done, and edit there.

I think that was actually used on an episode of Ghosts (US version, at least)...

There are theories that several mythologies were based on actual people or events. For example, some historians believe the original core of the Egyptian mythology was when a real king, Osiris, was betrayed and murdered by his brother Set, who was brought to justice by Osiris's son, Horus -...

Most of them are. Mulan was based on what is probably a true story out of China (though the leader of her unit figured out her secret pretty quickly in the official version, and helped conceal her identity, even marrying her after the war she fought in was over). A lot of embellishment (and...

Curate your content. Make sure your family sees what they "can handle" - if they want to probe a bit more, then, well, if you're living at home, you have some problems but if you're out on your own, a legal adult, then just don't worry about it.

Do fictional mythologies like The Cthulhu Mythos (which is part of the Game of Thrones setting, by the way, and a few others) count for this? If so, then chapter 21 of "Strange Awakening" goes into this a bit... If not, might be able to come up with something.

I tend to write outside the "good" range - either too short, or too long. I find as a reader, online I prefer less than 2000 words, but in print I prefer longer, 3-4k chapters... Though I started reading Chandler's "The Big Sleep" (there are a lot of plot holes in the movie caused by the Hayes...

I've stalled at writing one twice now myself.

Prowl around the PocketFM app - it has a few good ones in audio form and almost every bad one you could imagine... at least, going by the sampling of what my wife listens to.

I would step away from it for a day or two, and then redo the second chapter, and then see how that impacts what comes later. Maybe scrap it after that, maybe step away for a few more days, or maybe just put the project on hiatus to work on something else until you see a way forward with it.

Nah, the stars are traditional; Royal Road has multiple star ratings for Grammar, Content, Character and a few other things; that has a little more meaning (assuming the ratings aren't being made vindictively) - but it is also complicated (and many just issue a blanket rating anyway).

The original quote, attributed Mark Twain (who claimed he cribbed the line from Benjamin Disraeli but it does not appear in any of Disraeli's works), was "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics". I do not think it is the case here, but I know a lot of rating systems go...
