About as often as I get them, so averaging two a week, I think.

Most of my writing comes from challenging myself or accepting a challenge. The opening paragraph for "Strange Awakening" was the result of a challenge on another site; don't remember the challenge any more but the paragraph stuck with me for months before I had a story to back it up, and even...

A regular member and once-and-future writer who found bringing kids into the world more time consuming than writing but still hangs around here. At least you have four faithful readers... that is a start!

I would want it to be able to tap into farmer's markets around the world, at the peak season, and at times when prices were low but not rock bottom, just "still reasonable" - staff would be informed of the portal system and trained to warn customers from wandering into other times (and maybe...

Not likely to happen - the guy who created it tried to kill it and it is still going strong... At least the "legend" is that, when the manga were really taking off and the second DragonBall series was in production the guy who created it asked for a month off. The studio said: "Give us enough...

Cool - but make sure to verify that your reader is within the legal size limits, or you may have to throw them back...

Titles are the second trickiest (at least for me) part of the project (trickiest are the summary/teaser entries). Either a story suggests one right of the bat, or it's going to be a fight. I have one project I have not yet posted anywhere (am seriously considering putting it as my first...

Some people ask internet friends (very rarely real world friends) to be beta readers - I've been asked four times, accepted twice and was useful one of those times (the other time life got in the way and, by the time I was free to read it, he'd revised it twice).

Wouldn't derailing a thread require it to HAVE rails to begin with?

So maybe DEvovling would be more appropriate?

My guess is a corrupted font.

A lot of tiny quibbles but overall, very nicely set up.

Just wish there was a way to type like this on a freaking phone... Heck, I kind of miss the days when all typewriters had a standard size so touch typing was easy. Now you get ones with weird curves, ones with larger or smaller keys, ones with or without keypads, ones you can customize the...

I figured out the Collections already but haven't figured out how to do the rest. I think you set me on the right track here so hopefully will get my page (sitting in limbo for exactly one month as of tomorrow) published by the end of the week... So far I have set up one tier only, and may try...

Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out how to upload to it. The interface is not as clean as I'd expected. Patreon also allows selling full books, artwork, and services as one-time fees, but the subscriptions seem to be their bread and butter.

I haven't been able to find a single, specific trope, but the literary form is called "Determinism" - that our choices are "baked in" by who we are, and even if we know better, we will still pursue them.

Having engaged in mime myself, I have to say it is funnier. Perhaps less satisfying but funnier!

Greek and Norse both get a bit too much attention in fiction IMO. I did see one a few years back that used the Roman gods (who are 99% identical to the Greek ones except in names), and there is the awesome Bridge of Birds series (flirts with the Celestial Bureaucracy of Ancient China), but for...

Note if the society is primitive or the world is particularly harsh, they WOULD eat their own dead, but otherwise most societies grow beyond that once they reach any level of advancement - so it would either be the top option or not an option at all, depending on the tone of the story.

Jean Paul Sartre wrote a very cool novel where characters fail at redemption arcs - "Les Jeux Son Faits"; the characters are given a chance at the one thing they missed out on in life - love - but put their own former concerns ahead of each other and fail at not just their relationship but also...
