Sorry, but I don't think either of them sound interesting. If you twisted my arm, I'd say the first. Do with that as you will.

The latter is more likely to do numbers on SH/RR, imo. The first one, I think, has more room for character work. If you're just trying to write out your daydreams and get an audience, I think you're better off doing the latter. The former would provide more opportunities to develop your skills.

Love of the game.

Lotta sea haters on here. Salty their ancestors left the ocean, I bet.

It's the ocean, what's not to love?

If the supernatural existed, it would be the natural, and some mega corporation would be selling it at Walmart.

If you happen to have a nice bit of forest handy, especially with some fog at night, The Mist by Stephen King is quite spooky. You can find it in Skeleton Crew.

Better not mention the Dutch.

GPS coordinates precise enough for a cruise missile... asking for a friend. Sorry, as recompense, I'll ask a real question. What's the longest you ever worked a manual labor job (and what was it, obv)?

(Very slowly) A Tale of Two Cities, by Dickens. It's good, great character work. Hard on the poor brain meats though because the English is old and people used to write very differently back then.

Sorry to disappoint, but I was lying for the memes. I'm not actually afraid of clowns, I just thought it would be a funny thing to say.

Unironically one of the symptoms of autism, sorry you had to find out this way (j/k?). I've heard it's a sensory thing. Based construction worker forumite. Thanks for your service :blob_salute:

I have a pretty high startle response, but otherwise not really. I suppose you could consider phone anxiety an irrational fear (i.e. I get nervous when I have to talk to someone I don't know on the phone), if you needed one for whatever dark magic you're up to :blob_hmm:

Sorry for not taking the question seriously. I couldn't resist the urge to... clown around ₍^. .^₎⟆ Tbh, I don't think I even have much in the way of rational fears. Too apathetic.

My fear of clowns is perfectly rational.

Technically scenario two has that same upside, as you can always go homesteading out on some piece of land here in the modern world (if you want). With the skills you gained in your experience, the work to do it today would feel trivial.

Depending on what you mean by hostile, scenario one is almost trivial to survive. The only real downside is you wouldn't come back (and your civilization would technically have a time limit, as there's a big ass meteor on you way that'll have to be dealt with eventually. They wouldn't be...

I've heard that 50 chapters is basically the minimum for general reader interest, so you might want to wait until you have a huge backlog. That'll also let you fine tune the quality, and won't make it troublesome if you realize you need to make big changes.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Scrivener. I have a file for every story, and each file has a built in binder which is quite handy.
