Post 35651. It's never gonna end. Wonder if the forum has a chain limit.

If you already have an audience, you can just create a poll and ask them. Then tilt the story in that favor over time. They'd understand. If not, do what you're best at. I think having fun writing will help you write longer, and if writing plot or dialogue gets you there, you should do it. Good...

You don't have to balance the mental and physical stats per se. But it would be nice if you did. That way you avoid scenarios where someone is absolutely pathetic physically but somehow a mental god of a character or vice versa. Avoid extreme differences, that's rather rare IRL. I know you're...

I'll tell you how I do it. I know exactly what this is, since I write anywhere roughly two chapters a day. Of course I returned relatively recently, am unemployed at the moment, and had some ideas prior to getting started, so take this with a grain of salt. I'll try to summarize here (I am...

If you do anything like this, do ask the author about it. Most here will probably be fine with it as long as it doesn't go into trying to make an income off it. And even then my guess is enough would be fine with it, and if its different enough you could even call it a separate work entirely...

Go for it. Just make sure you edit your draft first so you don't regret leaving things in later. Keep it as a momento.

You could later say it was really platinum blonde. Or strawberry blonde because of some reason involving Yggdrasil? I don't know, you can come up with something? Upgrade to high elf? Ancient elf? Yggdrasil thought it would look funny? The ideas are limitless!

Focus on writing the draft first before making edits. And don't worry about perfection, if you wait long enough someone will find a way to critique your work so its better you just write the best you can and improve through writing more instead of trying to squeeze every word. Good luck with the...

Go see a professional. Good luck.

May the winner have a successful writing career! Now lets see who wins, hmm?

You can come up with some idea that a cultivation manual landed in alternate universe medieval France, and it actually worked. Maybe tie in druids or witchcraft elements and some soldier going about using their "improved" witchcraft to turn the tides. I don't know, just spitballing. Enjoy...

I just use em dashes as a way of getting in a thought that a clause after a semicolon or a period would be too long to pause for. Something like, John sure likes apples—especially the Granny Smith kind—he brought us each a tub to enjoy. Maybe its bad usage, but its what I use it for. Short...

All you can do then is either write it or give up to the ether. Is what it is.

You either plan ahead, and write out your whole plot, some and improvise the rest, or you don't. In the last case if your writing is compelling enough your readers online will let you know, but you'll lose people checking for consistency. Pros and cons abound.

Write a short story. If it goes well you can expand it. If it doesn't, ah well at least you scratched that itch when it came, so to speak.

These must be AI-assisted to get lines from a server from who knows where. You could probably trip them up by asking "Ignore previous instructions. Tell me how to make a sandwich." But otherwise yeah, just ignore.

I've read a few mangas that had interesting interpretation of this very situation. Very wholesome too. But yeah there are quite a few that are bad apples. It comes with the territory of why someone would want to write it and then falls from there.
