I used to know a member of the Black Rose society, a national BDSM group. As long as you have safe words in place (and both partners honor them) it is, well, completely safe. Not my kind of thing, but safe. But you do really have to trust your partner - and that can be part of what makes it...

I've only seen this as short stories - and the ships were space ships, not sailing vessels; only novel I've seen even close to this was "The Skylark of Space" where two of the crew were also designers of the Skylark itself. Though I could kind of see doing something like this in the old...

Closest thing I see to a joke are tigers being used as mounts for diving - and in a fantasy world, you never know...

1. Octarine (the colour of magic) 2. The Colour out of Space 3. Plaid.

Have a friend who, at least back in college, shared this one. It was kind of strange.

The only gripes I've seen so far was: Kelly fell into a "wrong-headed" trope in Strange Awakening and Jack Diamond seems to be at least a borderline sociopath (which is kind of in genre for a noir) in Diamond in the Rough.

Strunk & White's Elements of Style.

Twilight was quite successful with only one word. If you don't count things like "The" or "A" there are quite a lot of one word horror novels (The Ceremonies, The Ritual, The Stand), not to mention Stephen King has a lot of one-word titles: Carrie, It, Cujo. And there was even a...

Depends on the writer. Some focus on genres they know well because they work in or adjacent to that field and stuff that would be hard for most of us is second nature to them - mystery, suspense, medical drama, etc. A huge challenge to the layperson, minimal effort for the ex-cop, former spy...

For a formal, professional military this is correct - but some military organizations are militias which can have literally any level of organization.

Just know this: There Ain't No Justice, because There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch and you should be fine... :D

Accidentally stumbled on German porn at a flea market once. That sounds like it would fit right in...

The Dark Powers of Acronymia. They also gave us TANJ and TANSTAAFL, you know...

Went through that back in March. Hope you have better luck finding a new job than I did. Which main character? Kelly Pierce: Fists and sonic cry. Jack Diamond: Fists (that sometimes are stone, sometimes on fire, sometimes both), occasional fireballs and, if he gets desperate, his revolver...

It is a bit wordy: I would suggest replacing "The protagonist" in the first sentence with the character's name. The last paragraph before the //--// could be tightened up a bit - "All she wants is to cultivate and fulfill her mission, but the important men and women of this world keep drawing...

Man, after writing that title, I'm too exhausted to write the story...

"I Transmigrated the Strongest Isekai Cheat and Freely Became Reborn as Another Life" then should be a guaranteed hit?

The synopsis/description is the second biggest stumbling point (after Title). Too little and you may not spark a reader's interest. Too much and a reader may get bored before they reach the first chapter. I would suggest, if you need a long opening to try and hook readers, you write a...

Of the Dexterity Brothers?

Well that's a real GAS...
