    I may have asked before but anyone thought of side stories?

    I think they're cool, but only after your story reaches a certain length.

    I think I'm Cursed

    if 95% of authors don't have a regular upload schedule, then this phenomenon is completely normal. (technically it would need to be higher than 95%, due to bias, but ignore that.)

    Can we consider a QR code a primitive or early form of runic language i

    If all you consider a rune requiring is some form of information encoding, then I suppose you could say a QR code is a rune. But with that definition of a rune, I feel like every single writing system ever could be considered runic. I think we'd need to find a distinction between runes and...

    Writing Writing rules (other than show don't tell) discussion.

    How have we talked about not starting your story with your character waking up, but we haven't talked about not ending a story with your character waking up? Hmmm. If you think about it, that itself seems to be an application of the more general rule of cause and effect. So my rule I'll...

    Exploring your villains...

    I haven't actually introduced any of my main villians in my story yet, but while planning them out I've definitely found myself exploring the concepts of motives with them. So one's a businessman and views evil as just another form of business. Another is just a sick and twisted individual who...

    At what point do your characters begin to take over the story?

    I've never understood the concept of characters running away in a story. Do you just not realise your preconceived plot and characters contradict until you're in the middle of writing it or something?

    What did you learn during your writing researches ?

    I did some research into apartment layouts, and how sewer systems work. Also gun laws. And guns. And police.

    Do you use swears in your fantasy?

    I don't swear when writing. Having been in the occasional situation where I've needed my characters to express a strong feeling, I can definitely agree that most alternatives sound cheesy or strange. I just try and work my way around it. I feel like it should be possible to work your way around...

    Seeking fellow writers to brainstorm and exchange ideas on MMORPG-themed stories!

    I did/do have an idea for one, but I don't find the premise interesting enough for me to want to write it. It's sometime in the future, where the world is run by a council of great scientists/madmen, elected by the previous generation of scientists/madmen. One such scientist is about to...

    I can write multiple words per hour. Sometimes.

    What powers would Jesus have?

    It's mentioned in John's account of him overturning the tables. Though his usage of it more seems to be for herding the animals rather than hitting people. "So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers...

    System administrator. The only system administrator.

    Rate a story idea I have

    Something that always confuses me is when people don't explicitly mention the genre they want their story to be. Like, it's clearly a fantasy, but is it meant to be a dark comedy? A tragedy? Because that will very much change the feel of the story, and might make certain worldbuilding ideas...

    Writing What is Skill Level and Grinding?

    Have the stats page be a several-hundred metre long monstrosity that details every single stat a mortal could possibly wish for, plus several million more for all the stats that no mortal wants to see, but have regardless. All stats sorted alphabetically, of course. Then add a search-bar...
