    Nice catgirl aesthetic. Out of curiosity, though, the blood in the profile picture. Is that… her blood? Like someone tried to take a swipe at her face and only nicked it? For what it’s worth, I have a catgirl in my story coming up later. Once Katarín makes her appearance (yes, the name was a...

    Finished my first novel

    …and bookmarked. Time is a luxury, though, so I’ll read it when I can.

    Looking to Commission!

    I do have a budget, thinking $150 should be a fair trade, but I want to avoid the constant back-and-forth this time around. I give the story, let the artist go nuts. If that’s too low, then that’s fair, but $150 is just to open negotiations.

    Looking to Commission!

    Perhaps later, but for now, what do you think of the story so far?

    Prose?

    I hate to say it, but a thesaurus is still a very good tool to invest in. Get yourself a hard copy if you don’t have a strong vocabulary, and even if you do. I just bought mine recently, and while I’ve only cracked its spine a couple of times for the humor of it (the ten-year-old in me...

    Weaning in Literature

    Thanks, and bought. I fully intend to read Our Babies, Ourselves as part of my research for character development.

    Princesses with short length Royal gowns or long

    Syphilis, the pox, any disease, really. Beyond that, the decisions of the past still make for the opinions of today. My opinion, take the best approach for your world, and decide if the choices of fashion are a result of in-world events or if they are in spite of such. A good example from the...

    New author here

    First off, congratulations on your novel! I started my first up on a whim during Thanksgiving weekend last year, after listening to my father say he wanted to write a science fiction novel. As much as I enjoy sci-fi, I grew up with hobbits and wizards, so I’ll stick with fantasy. Secondly...

    Looking to Commission!

    This is a solid piece of advice, thanks.

    How Good is my Cover Art

    I think the hat looks a little too large, but if you were to tip the character’s head (and the hat, in kind) as a way to keep the character’s face somewhat obscured, it should fit the perspective “issue” I’m having with the forward angle on the man (I assume) from feeling off. Reference images...

    Looking to Commission!

    I’m probably going to get a dearth of “pick me, pick me” requests for this, but I’m looking to commission a cover art for my story anthology series, ““Before The Fall” as a way to try and promote the stories. While the current series of stories is a complete arc from start to finish, I need for...

    Allow me to introduce my work.

    Looks neat. I have a lot on my plate, but I’ll check it out when I have more time. (Ah, reality. Must you tax me, so?)

    A loving tip for people owned by cats... *^^*

    I had a couple of Maine Coon mixed cats before I left for my current home (The cats may have been owned by my mother, it by being “he who feeds,” they were my cats.) The fuzzy little jerks didn’t respond to this, but they didn’t have to, as far as I was concerned.

    Super powers.

    I think anyone would love to have this as an ability. No, for me, it's not what would you do with your powers, but what makes for interesting stories are the limitations of those powers. Hearkening back to the telekinetics, what would be the limitation, there? For me, the more interesting...

    Want feedbacks from an amateur?

    Man, this is fantastic feedback. I have considered changing that, but in the end, I decided to keep my intro. Still, I'm having a whale of a time trying to upload the cover art. Is there a size restriction I don't know about?

    What is your secret potion?

    My day job has me spending all day in the summer heat, so water is more than enough for me. Sometimes I get fancy and grab a can of Liquid Death instead.

    What's the scariest book you've ever read?

    Dude, that one is a good pick. Gage still in his funeral suit really terrified me as he murdered... Well, best not to spoil something like this, even if the story was first published in 1979

    How do you write fighting scenes?

    Judging by the myriad of advice given here, I don't know if what I can contribute would be of much value, but here's my advice, and it reflects on what King_Awonz said. If you're not an avid reader, knowing how to write is that much harder. The best thing I could suggest is to take ideas and...

    Writing Self-Promotion, and Ways To Do So?

    It looks like CarlesEBrown found the link. Can you confirm this? I’ll check it out when I have time, which is a precious luxury for me, these days. (I work in a summer-intense trades job.)

    Does everyone post their stories in ‘Latest Chapter Discussion’?

    Well, for what it’s worth, I have my own projects going. One is getting underway, while the other is on break until the second week of July. In the meantime, I’m shamelessly self-promoting here to drum up readers. Check my signature for links.
