For making them the "sex race" that isn't the sex race, a few easy options are either to change the sex ratio (10:1 female to male, for instance), or else to have them mate in "heats/ruts" so that most of the time they are basically frigid. Those could easily give them a stereotype of being...

Or both! Never forget the possibility of both!

The vampire thing is, on the other hand, not a phase, it's a lifestyle!

That is a question I don't truly know the answer to. I think the best you can do in that situation (asides from possibly abandoning the idea entirely) is to always make sure that, when you use a non-standard term, it is abundantly clear from context what you mean. If you're always careful...

Collapse the state or die trying?

The age of slop is upon us. Thank god for the classics.

Kinda of a hard question... especially so since a lot of my favorite side characters are women. Not that that's *really* a problem for a reincarnation, but still. Also, a lot of my characters either live in crapsack worlds, lead crapsack lives, or else lead crapsack lives in crapsack worlds...

This is hilarious, but also, reading it makes me want to die.

we really are a needy lot, lmao

I voted "not be explained", but actually, the best explanation for story worlds being real is the one which makes the story you're telling most interesting.

Instead of worrying so much about "sense", I'd try to think about what are the needs of your story, and how various "system" ideas will affect the world, the plot, and the characters. It's unwise to fall into the world building trap (he said from experience), tempting though it may be.

Brown is a lovely eye color! Don't be ashamed of it, I'm sure they're real pretty!

I'm pretty sure that's hazel. Also, my eyes have kind of a cool star pattern in them if you look closely. It's rather hypnotic, lmao

Tell *me* what to do! No, really, I need the advice.

I don't know if this is exactly a response to your story, but animals from zoos will return to their cages if driven out of them. Assuming they aren't killed and eaten along the way. Is it weird I'm bothered by the extra 'l'?

I will literally drop any book or story (that isn't Lord of the rings itself) if it wastes my time on long descriptions of stuff that doesn't matter. If you wanted to paint a picture so bad, go to art class.

I actually kind of hate everything about writing (the actual writing part itself, specifically). I much prefer the world building before hand, and the editing/redrafting after. Writing the initial prose is like pulling teeth.

It depends on the story, of course. In most of them, a broken bone would heal at the regular rate (i.e. if I was going to feature a broken bone in the plot, would look up how long it normally takes), though in the one with "magical healing" bones (and everything else) heal in seconds or less...

Literally just persistence, tbh. I always write *something* every day (even if it's crap), and sometimes I write something productive.

given that the Japanese are super racist, probably not.
