    When writing off the bad ends of bad guys, to what level of violence and gores are readers willing to tolerate?

    I like redemption arcs more, but whatever suits your fancy works. Depends on if it fits your character or not.

    What is best in a story?

    What a general question to ask. Just make sure you set a promise for your readers and pay it out by the end of the book.

    "Curse" of immortality

    Curses and Gifts are just a storytelling device to engage the reader, and perhaps reflect your character's thoughts. Usually, a curse will come with a caveat. I gain Immortality, but only if I kill a child every 100 years, or if I lose my emotions entirely, or etc. etc. This is a 'Natural Curse'...

    How do you deal with intelligence stat in litRPG

    I mean, it doesn't really matter what you would call it. You could call 'INT' something along the lines of Magical Power or Arcane Acumen but the outcome is the same. The author would still have to identify what Magical Power or Arcane Acumen meant in the context of the book, and then at that...

    Worried about loosing my Readers

    Your reader's opinion of your work comes hand in hand with your own perceived ability. Don't care too much about the masses, but have a few friends or close confidante's you can talk to about your work. They will be loads more useful in understanding what you're doing right or wrong from a...

    How do you deal with intelligence stat in litRPG

    I mean LitRPG's follow the same thought process as a fantasy book. The intellectual capacity or brain capacity of your character should depend on your writing ability to create the said character. Stuff like "Stats" or "Abilities" are just numerical magic systems to denote the growth of the...

    How do you deal with intelligence stat in litRPG

    INT should be personified as a modifier for his abilities. It should denote the magical combat abilities of the character, rather than their actual brainpower. Like a power system for magic. Intelligence would be an additive modifier for Magic Attack values. So the more 'INT' you have, the more...

    Abandoned stories

    Short stories, mostly. I start them but they end up bigger than my original goal or they don't fit the theme I want. I don't want to put in more effort on a short story, and I don't want to experiment with themes with a prompt that I most likely won't do again.

    So, how many projects you pretend to be currently working on?

    Do you write the characters or let them write themselves?

    I usually have an idea about the motivations and tone of my character, but don't really focus too much on character sheets. The story builds itself as you kind of put yourselves into their shoes, so I try to imagine two scenarios with them that accentuate their character, and then I build my...

    [Closed - Results Available] The Yuri Garden Writing Competition (2021)

    Question. Is this a one-shot type, or is this a short-story introduction type competition? The word count is capped at 3k, so does the story have to have a conclusion, or is it a setup for a series?

    Writing What was that one piece of advice

    Write a story you would love to read but read the story as if you were writing a critique on it. Make sure to finish it before changing anything. Also, if you're a lazy person like me, who cares about what other people think, just have fun with it!
