Nuh. 1. Porting democracy is only any good if you understand it. Too many people fangirl about democracy and actually don't know how it works without being overthrown. 2. As an example of how poorly democracy is understood, America is a republic not a democracy. We vote for electors, we do not...

I found the opposite true. Keeping chapter length down was difficult. Then my computer keyboard started glitching, and now I can't type u, n, m, y, and h properly. It either doesn't type or multi-types. Worst of all, I have trouble logging in, leading me to think I have a keylogger stalling things.

No, it's nonsense. There's a kinda narrow window of when something displays on a page under latest updates, unless you somehow pop up on the Trending section. Realistically, unless you already have followers, it's not gonna have a long enough window if it's a real book. Now, if it's serialized...

PhotoShop is a waste of money. GIMP is free, and ought to stay that way through advertising or donations. I also use regular old Paint, and an rpgmaker utility called iDraw. It's limited, as it only works with 256 colors, but I find it good because it lets me do certain tools, and because it...

Uhhh, do you by any chance mean folk legends? Because folk legends are different from urban legends. For that, read up on Japanese and Korean folklore, then move to other cultures. Urban legends are more like weird or scary stories circulated by rumor. I once wrote a story that was based on a...

Cute! I don't have much art ability in terms of drawing stuff myself (I'm far better at digital editing), but I used that some to take up space for short chapters, and some for effect. Actual art. (I was heavily inspired by Tolkien) Edited Art As you can see, my ability to digital edit...

Well it depends. Oracle of Tao has actual killer creatures that are pretty darned strong, and the starter town you have to pay the guards to leave. If you don't have the money to pay, they kill you. My most recent book is fairly calm in comparison. It's a My Hero Academia style setting and...

Those girls are so mean...

Just as a heads up, public domain doesn't always mean free from hassle. I spent a great of effort trying to avoid my book, Aiken Abridged Bible from being blocked on Amazon, because "this seems like it contains text that is in public domain." So I had to justify that I owned a book or had...

Well, since I think all but the most obvious sign language is pretentious, my advice would be to do what mute people who aren't deaf (yeah there's alot of people out there who think mute ppl are automatically deaf, and talk to them as though they are deaf) and have to deal with people who don't...

I think it was Steamboat Willy. There's a whole number of copyright levels. Public domain, as I understand it, is basically not having a copyright. This means it can't even prevent that you can't buy the copyright and set up draconian restrictions against mentioning the name Cthulhu. "His...

Ummmm, words is not how I calculate chapters, because words can be short and choppy or very long. The bonus section is about 9,000 words so far. The other section was about 100,000 words (about 20 chapters, just over 200 pages). So I guess 5,000 words average per chapter for the main book and...

Hahahaha!!! It's almost this bad. The side story is about them making the Magical Princess Minky Momo series, an infamous series for coinciding with a major earthquake and having an onscreen killing off of the main character by truck. The story probably could be done in about 5 pages, instead...

(Pets kitten) I was thinking "but I just have the one side character, there are no other side characters..." then I realized I do in fact have another side character that isn't in focus during the main story.

This can be used for everyone, not just me. So like I made a chapter (it's a bonus section to a book, but want to get it done before the 18th of this month) , and it's really a transition between two chapters but it's very short, only about a page. Basically, the main character in this side...

I had an actual phallic spear weapon. It could extend, and it's ummm rigid enough to take out a brick wall. This woman gave it as a gift to her girlfriend, so I'll let you imagine that it's probably used less in battle than other weapons.

But it has to be two words, like the namer of the town just thought morning wood was the first tree the sunlight hits or something.

Well no, because it's my critique of your theory. As my own theory it's... pretty limited to comments about LofZ.

I use about fourth grade reading level or even go full Hemingway sometimes. Occasionally, I hyphenate words or make up phrases by splicing together Latin or Greek words. People who understand suffixes and prefixes can puzzle it out by looking at the word parts. For other ppl, it isn't in any...

TL;DR I mostly took issue with your categories. Study this Triforce. There are only three real parts of a drama. Hero, Ally, and Villain. With minor characters in the gap in the center. The Hero (even if they are an anti-hero in regard to classical notions of heroism) opposes the actions of...
