Major character death is great! Please kill your major characters, especially if it would make sense for them to die. Characters that should've died/been killed/so on and so forth living is more likely to turn a reader like me away. And also, stay dead please. Ass-pull resurrections are even...

A consistent page break + new chapter naming scheme and ctrl+f. If I bother to outline at all

Haven't written it yet. Maldex is just the name of a recurring NPC wizard in my campaigns that self styles as an 'end boss wizard'. I'll write the book one day. That undead wizard doesn't need to have spent the slot THAT DAY, they could've done so six years ago and put the skeletons in a box...

I summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon tapped and attacking your planeswalker with four Water energy attached to it by Digivolving my Drago into a Resourced card from the top of my deck! (I am going insane while doing research into card games I don't play.)

I like characters that don't fundamentally change from who they were at the start by the time the story finishes. Characters that, regardless of the circumstances they find themselves in, are recognizably them. A good example is Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, throughout so many movies, games...

Why did I use all my good names on stories I've since abandoned. There are no good names left. I'm trying write a new thing for me, branch out and test myself, but the unironic best name I have left to give my protagonist is gonna be some lame ahh stuff like 'David' 'Darryl' or 'Joe'. Fxck me...

Thank you for pointing out the bad faith arguing Op was engaging in.

You fool! Oozes are powerless against my RUBBER VEST

Mission failed. I'm now writing a Fic about a card game I conceptualized.

My god he converted the pistol's mass directly into energy... that's one powerful magic system

TL;DR D&D3.5e, the place Maldex is coming from. The summation of the point I'm trying to make is simple Undead minions are *Fucking worthless* at the powerscale we're talking about, but that's ok, because golems are worse. --- Hey man undead minions ARE garbage. They're not great. Awful...

I see the dick joke didn't work... Sad. That usually gets em. DASTARDLY! Maldex the Ever Blackest would never lie, or cheat, or propagandize, or gaslight, or gatekeep, or... I think this is actually the first place you're objectively wrong. Necromancy as a school of magic is quite literally...

Every setting I've seen that has 'aerial combat' in medieval fantasy ALSO incessantly includes fireball spells, guaranteed accuracy magic missiles, lightning bolt or call lightning spells, and other such magic that would be ENTIRELY too effective as anti-air measures for me to take the existence...

This is why Maldex the Ever Blackest's Primer on Dark Magic should be mandatory reading for any aspiring Dark Magician. It contains the very basic information so many upstarts these days seem to have missed. Here are some highlights for those that don't have the time. The primary values in...

Crudely, it depends on what you want the relationship to do for you in narrative. If you want it to be a neat or cozy showcase of healthy relationship dynamics, start with a set or map of three pair dynamics. Establish firmly why each pair dynamic is viable and healthy (regardless of romance)...

It would be any moment that a character wins more than 1(one) instance of armed combat in a row without suffering major injury or long term minor injury. This applies to literally all novels that have armed combat.

A Checklist: How many people have magic? What is the average person who has magic capable of? Half of them are capable of less than that, and a 1/4th are capable of less than half of that. Same with the inverse. What causes the discrepancy? You are an average person. If you could come up with...
