READ THIS BOOK OR I WILL FEAST UPON YOUR SOUL. I find that works well.

Honestly? Never compromise your vision. Make a new story before compromising an old one. Unless you are selling out for buckets of cash. Then compromise. Become like a willow tree in a hurricane and bend it like Beckham. If you are getting paid, have all the backbone of a man with a fookin'...

I was going to say.

Nice Simpsons' quote.

Is originality dead? Originality has been shot, stabbed, stapled, mangled, folded, spindled, injected, inspected, neglected, killed, and brought back from the dead, just so it could be killed again. Then they set it on fire, burned it down to ashes, invented a machine that re-burns burned...

The problem is when you have something happen where the reader goes, "That's out of character!" But the thing is, tension needs to exist. You need to feel that something bad can happen, or what's the point of reading? I had the "going home" arc and people were going, "Why DOES the MC do this...

When I listen to people who review fiction, you would be surprised how often "world-building" and "internal consistency" comes into play. You might not care that the "Holdo Maneuver" breaks how FTL works in Star Wars, but the people who spend money on Star Wars' merchandise do. If they had a...

Three acts: A,B,C A plot needs a beginning, middle and end. You need a plotline to cover Act A, B, C, A to B, A to C, and B to C. That's 6 plots, for a total of 18 'sign posts' Usually, I have: A: Meet The MC/introduce the setting A to B: Mini-Boss/secondary antagonist A to C: What the MC is...

I've had to explain this a few times, So I'm just gonna make a thread to refer people to. WHAT IS "PHYSICS" IN FICTION?" In fiction, we write stories based on reality, to some extent or another. It can follow reality very closely, like in a normal, everyday, slice-of-life romance, or it can...

Well, the isophysics of this is a bit more narrow than classical physics. The para-isophysics of a given universe is dependent on a number of factors. Dark Matter has a dampening effect on paraphysics of all sorts as well as makes hypophysics (quantum mechanics) less influential. The closer you...

They break down by emiting Beta radiation and neutron becomes a proton, hence why they become florine. I don't understand how O-15 emits positrons, but we use artifically created O-15 to run PET scanners. But that breaks down into Nitrogen

Well, you got your glitched system method: Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World That's the poster child. Otherwise, you go with breaking the game. Not only does he have no system, but he can break turn order. He doesn't have to move exactly 30 feet before making an attack, he can...

So what happens if I stab him in the eye with a fork?

After having fought the demon lord, he managed to figure out how the demon lord uses "fire and forget" magical attacks that include a small amount of mana to maintain stability. In short, he shoots a sheath of mana to maintain the ice-7 until it connects with the target. Indeed. Gotta have...

oooo... supercooled water that freezes when pressure is released... interesting. Not the point.

Yeah, but once you reach Ice-7, you really cannot compress it anymore. If you do, it stops being water. Ice-7 is basically Ice compressed to the point it is doubled up. So you have two interlacing "sets" of ice intertwined.

You know the drill. I got Elemental Water powers. I make water with magic. Poof So I was thinking, how heavy is that water? Well... it's most likely Oxygen-16, Hydrogen-1 Assuming I had the ability to cherry pick my isotopes, what is the heaviest water I could make and how much more heavy...
