Hard to tell how many tropes in Christianity are uniquely Christian - over a dozen cultures around the world have flood myths, several have "man swallowed by giant fish" tropes, many have "feeding of multitudes" and even "self sacrifice to save others" Further, some of those mentioned are not...

Sorry, I had the ratio backwards. You are correct.

Diminutive humanoid creatures usually - "goblins" or "gnomes" or whatnot. Especially when they might have special powers. At least in fantasy worlds. Rats and wolves in horror settings. Hired Goons/Mercenaries in superhero and action stories. It really varies.

Unless you are literally ten percent of the person you were, I think you meant "Devastated" - but maybe I'm wrong.

There are serious health issues inherent in eating one's own kind ("Mad Cow Disease" stemmed from beef proteins being added to cattle feed IIRC), so, regardless of social or moral issues it is always problematic and best to be only considered as a last-ditch thing. It is a great way to...

I could see being turned off by the clunky writing shown in the screen caps, but the events seem like they MIGHT make logical sense, if we knew any of the characters. Or they might not. Still the writing is ... far from the best and probably a good enough reason to drop it IMO.

How did you offset the Forward like that? Considering doing something like that for one story if I post it here. On the subject of the forward, it seems to be kind of talking down to the reader, like a teacher with a slow student. Not sure if that is intentional or what but it can be...

Heh... probably not meant to be but ... what is that rule about porn? :D

Well, if you need tentacle porn, you could always look to the original source - the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society website. I think they still sell their film version of The Call of Cthulhu...

It lost some of the sense of fun of the first hundred or so, and around 120 or so Remo and Chiun pretty much reversed personalities. I think it wound up being a "company property" farmed out to whatever new talent they had willing to write under a "house" name. Then again I have only read four...

Definitely. When I realize one book is into the 50s and I really only just started the main story it is a bit intimidating... And a few others that I'm not 100% sure with the genre (hybrid Isekai/Western or "Harlequin Romance" for example). Usually I start them and then move on to others and...

A simpler version would be the first, I think 71 Destroyer Novels (starting with "Created: The Destroyer" - the novels chronicling the adventures of Remo Williams and his teacher, the enigmatic master of Sinanju - the Sun Source of All Martial Arts - Chiun). Sapir and Murphy would meet every...

Now something like that could be a lot of fun to do... but would also have a weird tendency towards comedy. There was a science fiction novel published in the mid to late 90s (I found it in the late 90s, but think it had been out for a few years then) called "The Red Tape War" - four or five...

There are two types of stories with themes: Stories the author wrote to illustrate a concept or idea using said theme (a lot of allegorical fiction falls into this account) or Stories that developed a theme organically (sometimes without the author's awareness - by way of example, C. S. Lewis...

Ah, the protected speech method?

A serious version would require a moderately active community discussing the story, and would probably wind up either with some ticked off fans or looking more like the old "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories than a novel. A half-serious version is what they used to (maybe they still do; have...

The other 20% they already had those specific pics and suspend your account for a day. Or so I've heard.

Part of why I got into fantasy roleplaying games was so that the PLAYERS could write the middle and I only had to write the beginning, set up a few key scenes, and then one or more possible end points and use what they did to direct the story to the key scenes and the most logical endpoint based...

1. Create a virus. 2. Attach virus to a story with both BL, GL and Smut tags (bonus points if it has GB and all three). 3. Whenever you upload a new chapter, it triggers the virus on every computer that viewed the BL/GL/Smut story, making it "read" your new chapter. Millions of views...

Ah much clearer. Used to have a Champions PC kind of like Fritz - he could take an aspect of any small, non-living object he could hold in one hand and turn it into an attack (i.e. if he picked up a eggshell, he could bind someone else in eggshells, hurl a blast of calcium, or a rain of egg...
