So you asked AI to write the 90s tv show "Hey Arnold"... Boy loses his parents, lives with his grandparents. His neighbors (herdmates) come fro all backgrounds and experiences but work together to raise the boy right. His friends constantly come over to his house (nest) to hang out... LBT = Hey...

If it's a cultivation/xianxia story and you have someone/thing sitting in a remote place for cultivation purposes. You're not going to check in on them every few days/weeks/months because they just sit. Skip it and move on with the plot. Action, like the DBZ reference: got a training montage...

Exactly this, I put in a soft skip of millenia (no jokes, literally thousands of years) to my first story because my MC is a literal piece of stone sitting on a mountain top. Ain't nothing of not going to happen to him there.

Why wouldn't they be permitted? It's your story, not theirs, so do what you think is right. As for the how, there's no single answer for that because you can do a time skip many different ways. You can directly state how much time has passed after providing a glimpse at daily life; you can leave...

I'll be the odd one out and say 2 or 5. I like how the titles are less intrusive to the scale of what the character is looking at, unlike 1 and 3. 4, on the other hand, just felt out of place after seeing the others. Not bad, it's great, but it was just so radically different that I'm not sure...

Dogs are actually considered to be a very lowly animal. So something like "dog's blood" or saying "you're not even good enough to serve my dog" or something along those lines is one of the biggest insults you can give after @Sleds mentioned the thing about everyone trying to "save face" and...

I would say to use "kao" (靠）if you don't want to translate fuck. Chinese has a lot of interesting swears in it, to be sure, but the "ta/ni ma de" is a bit meh as TMD isn't said as much and NMD is more like you really can't stand the person in front of you. More importantly, does the language...

Redemit is right on this. CS Lewis was hugely religious and confirmed that his novels all had that biblical slant in one way or another (his novel "Perelandra" has the MC knowingly isekai'd to the namesake planet, which is actually real-world Venus as we find out in the book and he talks with...

My advice: go people watching if you want "normal". The experiences you write don't necessarily have to be your own, but including your own attempts and experiences at being social serves to humanize a character. When the character, be they MC or side, is humanized, they become relatable and a...

I feel like there's something off about the essences. Using your own explanation that light gives and dark takes, wouldn't that mean that doctors are the "bad guys" in taking away someone's illness? At the same time, some mad scientist-type would use light to give people deadly/dangerous...

Sees sapphic, thinks yuri and only yuri (no boys allowed, just ask Tiresias).

Here's the link to Val's page, and I can attest that pretty much all of her current/public stories are going to be what you're looking for. https://www.scribblehub.com/profile/12662/quietvalerie/ I'd also suggest starting with some of the older works so you can see some neat little easter eggs...

Playing into this a bit (thanks for the start, bot), you can actually do a lot of different things. Taking a step back, what exactly is an element? If it's a base form of something, then what happens if we play with them like a game of doodle god? If I'm a master of fire magic, and am skilled in...

You could try a living glossary chapter. What I mean is, have an entry for each major character based on their progression through the story marked as "Chapter X-XX" and then hidden in a spoiler. This way, if people can't wait for the big reveal, they can have their thirst for knowledge slacked...

Have GPT translate it, that still sucks. What you could do is translate it properly/normally, then do a 1-to-1 translation back so that it's messed up. In a bit of seriousness, and if SH would allow other languages, I'd be tempted to do it with mine unidirectionally. I wouldn't dare translate...

You schedule?

In addition to what everyone else has said, and I know that this is a year away, find old AP exams to see what the questions are like. If you know that then you can kinda figure out where you need to spend more time. APUSH wasn't that hard, but the AP test was asking for details and specific...

It's a great idea in theory, but you (and envy) already killed your own point. If you only support new novels by authors you like, then you end up going against the point of your original post. Looking at this another way, I've got 35 novels that I've marked as "dropped by author". Of those...

I might not suggest dropping it, at least not completely. I would say an "indefinite hiatus" like I've seen from a couple other people. This allows you to come back to it if you find it interesting again, but warns people that you may not come back at all.

If you're wanting to avoid swearing (specifically the "hard" swears like fuck and a few others that I won't mention), then go for lighter ones that are pretty much everyday language for some people. If you want to avoid any use at all, maybe take a look at how CS Lewis did his dialogues since he...
