    Writing Prompt Write ~1 page of a new story.

    Goal: Come up with a new story idea and write a page for it, as if you were starting a new series. It can be about anything, but must be something you do now. No taking from hidden backlogs. The hope is that this serves as a short break from what you are currently writing and potential...

    Writing Prompt Give me a dreamlike and/or surreal passage you wrote.

    Here is mine: I always found it strange that the blue sky could obscure the ground above us during the day. There was about two hours before the light fades. I looked up at the sky squinting trying to see the continent above me. I floated as high as I could. It was impossible for me to reach the...

    Weird question

    How do you open boxes? I mean boxes packaged for shipping, such as an Amazon package. I peel the tape off with my fingers. I have to stock the freezers at work and this is typically the easiest way for me.

    How does writers block manifest for you?

    Writing is fun for me, yet whenever I try to write something I get a couple of pages in, and then freeze. I try to continue the story, but can only get few sentences a day, before I have to do something else, which is probably spending time improving on the first couple of pages, until I can’t...

    What are your minor reading pet-peeves?

    I use text to speech, so every equals in: ==================, is said. Not much of an issue until you realize ~half of the litRPGs here use it as a border for stat screens. Funnily enough the equals sign is the only symbol where chaining them together pronounces every one...

    Why did the stars disappear? Why did the sun turn into a ring? Please tell me wise sages!

    Please, if we don’t figure this out the world will go into chaos.

    Strange dreams

    What is a strange dream, or part of a recent dream you had? Last night I dreamed that 6 Italian sandwiches fell in love with me, and made me want to eat them. If I were to be near some other person, the sandwiches would enrich uranium and then blow up before time rewound.

    Is the prose too dry/is the exposition too much/anything I can improve on?

    Went through rereading a couple older chapters, and got the feeling that my writing was to much: I did this, then this, because this, which reminds me of this. Instead of slowing down and bringing you through the character and world. It felt simultaneously like I was going too fast, and not fast...

    What is the first series you read here?

    It’s been two years since I started reading here, it made me think back. So, here is mine, what is yours? https://www.scribblehub.com/series/99679/scp-gacha-system-in-a-cultivation-world/

    Which version reads better?

    Which is better?

    So I had an idea for a rom-com, where a het-couple breaks up only for both of them to immediately confess to a mutual friend. The mutual friend misunderstands and agrees to go out with both of them. My only issue is what gender should the mutual friend be? I don’t want the story to be a harem...

    Tell me friend, why are you cooking, in your home, for 12 people at midnight? A bit eerie for a self described hermit, no?

    What is your favorite non-sung piece/collection of music?

    Currently I am torn between Shostakovich’s collection of 24 preludes & fugues and Bach’s Art of fugue. Here is a link to both: Art of Fugue Preludes & Fugues

    An interactive story tag?

    I am creating an interactive story, but could not find a tag like that. Assuming I am not blind, I am asking for an interactive story tag. Thank you!

    Controversial Opinion: Action/Adventure LitRPGs and System novels inherently handicap themselves in the long run for short term success.

    LitRPGs and System novels inherently handicap themselves in the long run for short term success. Of course with good writing a lot of this can be somewhat alleviated, but not solved without drastic change. How/why? 1. It hampers the action action in any series, by removing the difficulty of...

    I am stuck

    (This is a bit of a rant, so sorry…) I currently have 6-7 different things I want to write but there are a couple of issues in my way, and I feel stuck in a loop of trying to do something and getting barely anything, if not nothing, done. To the extent that I only got a paragraph done last week...

    Writing Two writing tips

    I have been reading too much Chinese stuff recently, so these points have became obvious areas of improvement in those things I have read. You probably know the difficulty of searching for a story where the MC doesn’t go from 100 elo-practically a Grand Master, or stronger, in ~10 chapters is...

    Does this magic system work/make sense?

    The goal of the system is to explain how different planes, their power systems, and the universe more broadly works, using a more alchemical foundation. The simplified magic system contains what will exist on the plane the story starts on, and the advanced is the more detailed explanation...
