The idea is to show the character's frustration and boredom at the LACK of action, right? "Yet another day of nothing in particular happening. That is the downside to living in a place where nothing ever changes, where there is nothing whatsoever of interest to anyone. Sure, there may be some...

Personally I think requiring an explanation for 1 or 5 star ratings would be good but probably unenforceable. I know a lot of sites that have ratings have a "cut-off" where, once you hit a certain threshold, it ignores a set number of lowest and highest scores to create the average (and most of...

I was thinking more a frustrated writer of webnovels in general, who winds up spending more time on the discussion boards than actually writing... :D On a more serious note - the one that I have not seen is one that I have started working on but haven't gotten to the point where I can share...

Feel free, though people might not believe my name... :D

I tried. This is a mess. Reading it feels like being stuck in an infinite loop. Too many little issues to point out but verb tenses are erratic, sometimes "a" or "an" is used when the other is more appropriate, sometimes plural forms of words are used when the verbs suggest singular, and...

Get a "Page was taken by aliens" message. Makes it a bit tough to critique without access to time travel technology (unfortunately they refuse to give back my dematerialization circuit due to too much meddling... interfering SOBs...)

Reincarnated as an author of web novels. Have not seen that one... :D

Have toyed a little with this but never went beyond an initial concept - which was mostly randomly generated for a superhero roleplaying game. Character is a normal middle-aged nobody - but when he got bored, he dressed up like a woman, flirted outrageously, and was a major pickpocket.... until...

I consider any feedback good, myself - because it means someone read it and is thinking about it. And if what they're thinking is "this writer is an a-hole" or "this story is dumb" well, that's on them, but at least they read it. Now, I would much rather see detailed criticism, good or bad...

One term I've seen used for that - most recently by Wizards of the Coast for some of the 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons stuff - was "Points of Light" - each "dot" is an illuminated area that you detail because it will be needed. From there you detail anything needed to get the story from one...

It takes practice to do decent intros. I think I developed a knack for it over several years of writing material (paid and unpaid) for role-playing games where you kind of need a hook to get started. But then again not all intros work well even then. One of my favorites was the simple formula...

Eh, I have software (well had and will soon have again, thanks to an early birthday present) software that makes up for a lot of my difficulties with drawing so no, I would not trade.

There is a (bad) movie, I think called "Time Riders," or something like that, where a guy winds up his own grandfather. But that was time travel, not reincarnation.

It is either the UK or Canadian spelling. I grew up reading Tolkien and H. P. Lovecraft so have a bad habit of randomly mixing UK and US spellings myself (much to the chagrin of spell-checkers). Oh, and the mom reference... as my mom used to pay a lot for good fiction (now she just gets it at...

I think you need to look up the difference between "Disposal" and "Disposable" :D Interesting use of "Demons" as a title - could refer to magical creatures or to a lost species or even a type of alien.

Six of one half a dozen of the other. Sometimes an author does hide a meaning in their work. Sometimes an author writes because they have something they need to get out and are unaware of it. Sometimes they write because they just love telling stories and don't worry about the "why."

After it was touched on briefly in a TV series called "The United States of Tara" I looked into it a little and this is far more common than originally thought. There are usually one or two IDs that are at least partially aware of the actions of some or all of the others, but most of them only...

Real world? Drowning or burning probably, though death by slow torture might be pretty darned awful. Fantasy would be probably rapid aging, turning the kid to an adult and then very old person and then dust in a matter of minutes or seconds.

Around 10 or 11 is when parents stop punishing kids for swearing - at least where I grew up in the US - so it becomes fairly common about a year later. Looks like a good start there - a little too repetitious at a few points for my tastes, but that is more a personal thing than a technical one...

Unless doing a comedy piece intentionally skewering popular figures, I would never touch real-world politics except tangentially (it may be "obvious" that a character is "based on" a real political figure but it would not BE that person, and their views would have some subtle - or perhaps...
