    Fictional Physics

    I think when you added the Para-stuff you gave everyone a headache. You ought to have stuck to main categories and explained around them. Otherwise everyone is wondering if they did the real thing our not and microanalyzing their own work. Btw, para- means "outside" so I think the word you're...

    About signing a contract

    Basically, I would completely write a shitty story of like 30+ chapters in advance, and just release one at a time. If it's too good, you'll want to actually publish it (no contract), and if it's not finished yet, you'll have to set aside time (life tends to happen).

    About signing a contract

    A friend of mine did it. He was pretty steadily hard at work for awhile. I'd hate it. I can do more than 1500 words for a chapter, but some days I simply have other things I gotta do. I'd recommend Kindle Vella instead. You aren't required to do a exclusivity contract from what I remember, and...

    Your thoughts on the live action adaptation of One Piece

    I owed it to myself to keep watching because it was One Piece brand, even though I hate what they had done to it. Let's review: Nami is an out of the box badass. This ruins her character, because she's supposed to be a stealth hero, and fight with brains not brawn. Instead, after sneaking into...

    What sort of Self-Inserts are annoying

    "Hello, I'm (insert name here). I'm just an ordinary salarymen. In fact, I'm a loser who is better off dead..." (Gets hit by truck) "Hello, I'm God/System/Angel. Here's your status screen, these are your cheats, and here's your harem." Authors take notice. Stop doing this crap! Any variation...

    Help, how to balance a slime character?

    I had the party defeat an army of slimes. I figured out that you have to define what a slime is. I decided they are either bacteria, fungi, or slime molds (which are a bit of both). So in answer to your question? Soap. Bleach. And alcohol. All of this kills bacteria, fungi, or both. Basically...

    What if suddenly, the system is gone?

    That happened in Solo Leveling. He basically beat up the system.

    Do your characters need therapy?

    My MC got stuck in an institution at one point, so I think that counts. One of those "Is my entire quest actually a dream?" things.

    Overflowing with Ideas

    I have this problem. What I try to do is try to make the next chapter longer.

    I got another idea for a dumb book

    Here. I'll give you another book idea, since you seem to have an idea but no fleshing. Also from a music video. Anyone who follows Asian Drama knows this song from Ice Fantasy. But we're gonna ditch the premise of that show, and instead follow the premise of the music video.

    Named chapters, yes or no?

    I managed it for a self-contained trilogy (roughly 75 chapters) plus a sequel of a sequel (25 chapter or so). The series moved from an intended trilogy to two extra books as part of a larger trilogy. The middle book had a different chapter scheme, but since the first and last books had the same...

    Cool catchphrases

    I enjoy parody. So I'd fully try the "In A World Where..." followed by something that doesn't suit the serious tone at all.

    De-Listed or Censored

    @ItsOnlyForFiction What's the story name? I'll see if I can search for it?

    Named chapters, yes or no?

    There are several ways to articulate chapters. just Chapter Number just a Name Chapter Number & Name Chapter Number then Subtext (I first saw this in Divine Comedy, where they mention "In which Dante meets...") I don't like either type 1 or 2. #1 is boring, #2 you get lost on how many...

    ?Calling All Pantsers! How DO You Actually Finish a Novel?

    I usually don't fly completely by the seat of my pants. Rough outline that includes... overall story and a few main characters. Then I kinda use the characters and whatever funny or weird events I come up with to drive the story. Dummycake, you can always revise later. Yes, even if you...

    A proper cutaway

    "They kissed, and the scene faded to black. (The next day/elsewhere/etc)..." Like that. You literally just dictate a fadeout in text, like a movie would show in action. Or yeah, use a line separator. But that doesn't really dictate how the scene fades out. You could also insert a fade to...
