I tend to write my stories with a certain level of inevitability baked into the grand plot, often even including the part where the protagonist/POV character is involved, though for one of them, if my character had just let a certain thing go he, well, he wouldn't have been involved in the...

#notalawyer but I'm confident you can *reference* copyright material freely in other works, on the same grounds which allow you to critique them. That wouldn't actually stop the mouse from attempting to sue, but for such a blatant abuse of copyright you could probably counter sue them for legal...

Wow, that's good art! You even got the clothes' wrinkles!

:blob_teary: wish that could be me. I've pants'd a couple stories before, but I want to have, like, actual intentional interwoven "character arcs" or whatever, so now I have to do work and I don't like it.

I'm in eternal outlining hell, so although I wrote more than 1500 words (of story related material) it doesn't feel very relaxing at all. I miss editing.

I have a terrible addiction to answered the question as "yes" (and not in the hermaphrodite sense (except the one time, technically)), but in general I'd say to let the story dictate that, or else just do what you like.

Been keeping this one in my back pocket. And an extra in my front. https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/get-your-story-read-how-to-write-a-good-blurb-lessons-with-dr-shoemilk-will-help-you-with-blurb.23397/ And a few in my backpack, just in case.

The probably correct but certainly difficult option is to have a select few members of that community steal the show for a few scenes, i.e. be very memorable and fun. Make them characters the readers can sympathize with the lead missing because they miss them too.

Fav: Heretofore Most hated: Just Underused: Heretofore Overused: Just Just is the bane of my existence. You might say I've just about had it up to here with it. I just can't take any more of it. If I could just never use it again, that would be just great. Please, just put me out of my...

I don't think "flawed" and "unlikeable" exist on the same spectrum. A good example is Xykon from Order of the Stick, who is total scum, but very likeable. Even Nale (another villain) has his charms. There was also the severely unlikeable paladin, who you nevertheless loved to hate. The...

Very surprised Scene 1 isn't winning. It demonstrates much better technical skill (as a writer, I mean, not talking about the character). Even though it's a bit longer, it uses its extra "space" to escape the dry, "functional" writing of scene 2.

Not exactly a rewrite, because I think the story is more or less fine as it is (even if there was room to grow), but I would "rewrite" Chrono Cross to make it less buggy, to actually get some use out of its massive roster, and to incorporate NG+ into the story proper to add a "synthesis" ending...

I don't know about the efficacy with audiences, but I would actually prefer a more "old style" sci-fi cover for my books. I can't art for shit, unforch, but your style is closer to what I'd like than the more common "anime" style that's popular these days.

Generally I always think of the setting first, then characters and plot both at once.

That's the joke. The story is meant, in part, to parody LN/isekai, so it has a fittingly LN title. The writing itself is really good.

Just love that the title is also the synopsis. World in Cycle: The Overpowered Hero from Another World was Corrupted, Now the People Need Me—a Prince of This Land—to Defeat Him and Save our World

Second kind is way better, imo. The first seems cool and edgy, but then you realize it's just a trap for pseudo-intellectual blowhards.

I think I'd go for one of the great apes, maybe homo sapiens sapiens. Probably my favorite animal. They are great endurance hunters, and they have a natural talent for throwing that beats anything else in the animal kingdom. Plus, they're social creatures, who are great at coordinating with...

:blob_evil_two: I also have a really cute bunny rabbit... and a funny shark that doesn't fit.... and this guy... I have too many options... I guess I'll stick with the duck, though I'd love if it could automatically rotate between avatars.
