    Reference Too Obscure?

    Wow, yeah that is a little dated - last time I saw his name on anything was when we were at the Louisville location of his chain restaurant, right after the COVID lockdowns ended. Three years ago I think... The Hell's Kitchen guy seems to have taken over his position in the food media realm.

    Writing Casual Conversations

    Think I do better with this stuff than with meaningful conversation (probably in real life and in writing...). But always nice to see other perspectives on it - thanks for sharing.

    How do people find new stories?

    I turn over rocks. Usually ones I find in peoples' signature lines.

    I Applied for a Delivery Job and Got Turned into a Flying Reindeer?! (now on SH!)

    It opened. Won't get a chance to read it until later tonight or tomorrow though.

    How to create impactful fights?

    Story_Marc has a video on this subject in the Writing Tips area. May have to drill in a page or two to find it.

    Astronomy themed

    I used to know a lot about space but have forgotten most of it due to disuse over the decades. And there is ALWAYS room for improvement, for anyone. Always.

    Favorite background details?

    Oh, forgot one - but nobody would know it so... In "Strange Awakening," there's a reference to a band called Adversary. Several years ago, for NaNoWriMo, I wrote the story of Adversary. The second chapter included a flashback to when the band first met, and initially I tried to create a...

    Does anyone watch LoL Worlds?

    Never heard of it - but like real sports, I would probably only watch if I personally knew someone competing.

    Just a little bit of cuteness

    Detachable.

    First Chapter Impressions Swap?

    The chapter was good, clean. The synopsis is a bit clunky though.

    Preferred way to do a part 2

    Well, as soon as I get two more chapters written, I'll be posting book two in the series nobody wanted in the first place (Jack Diamond, Monster Hunter) as a separate file, but there is supposedly a way to link stories - haven't really looked for it so not sure where it is yet. On Royal Road, I...

    How do I incorporate a pronunciation guide?

    I rarely worry about it myself - let them come up with their own pronunciations. Might be better than the ones I thought of...

    The Morality of Accidents

    Not exactly - the person or people ordering the murder are guilty of the most severe crime, pre-meditated (first degree) murder. The person actually committing the crime, unless they have an inept lawyer, will usually get off on the far less serious crime of manslaughter. Were they warned of...

    Favorite background details?

    Have not really done much (that did not directly refer to a plot point eventually) in any stories I have up here. One of the stories I have on Royal Road was a TV series (and has "section introductions" by the actor who starred in it) in a series of stories I wrote for an APA in the 90s, my...

    How do you find new books to read?

    Though in the real world, I usually set a trap at a bookstore, baited with a few dollars, and see what it catches. Usually in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy area, but not always.

    Recommendations Using other IPs' villains' powers.

    Sounds like someone's gone Radio Gaga (which I saw used as a power name somewhere... think it was on one of the Runaways in the defunct Marvel: Avengers Alliance game, or maybe one of Star-Lord's moves)

    You can flag chapters as well as the whole book I THINK. I know you can with NSFW stuff, and should be able to with gore - or use an Author's Note to warn the reader I guess.

    All right, I'm gonna publish my book

    I would post to RR first - otherwise you'll have to jump through hoops to get it to show up there. They're weird that way.

    Why is there no deaf protagonist tag?

    I've seen at least one short story like that, but never anything longer (or it was a section in a longer work where one or more characters were temporarily deaf). Though I suppose you could make a nice long story about a kid who is deaf, dumb and blind, but sure plays a mean pinball...
