    Magical Theory Crafting: The Mutable - Immutable Spectrum

    I don't intend to explain it. The only one who needs to know how it works is me. Ooo... Now there's a thought. If Dark Matter inhibits Magic, is there a counterpart that inhibits "science"? I don't know, but I shall think about this. I love all this dead-end "science" stuff. You know...

    Magical Theory Crafting: The Mutable - Immutable Spectrum

    So I was just in the shower and had a thought. In my attempt to create the world's most highly detailed theory of how magic works, I have been working on the idea of duality: There are the physical sciences and the physical world, and then there is the immaterial world of magic where thought...

    When I consume my enemies, is it really cannibalism?

    Somethings you just know. For example, I don't need to drink lava to know it gives me an upset tummy.

    When I consume my enemies, is it really cannibalism?

    Can you fuck a member of said species of the opposite gender and produce a kid via the introduction of sperm into the presence of a fertile egg? Yes? It's cannibalism. A polar bear eating a grizzly bear's cub is cannibalism. And yes, that was a thing once. Bears are cannibals. Bears are...

    What are your opinions on the portrayal of dragon newts in fantasy novels?

    Protogen, basically. what's a dragon newt? It's like one of these, right?

    Special Effects. Guy tosses a fireball, guy tosses a grenade. Same thing, different Fx.

    Written into a corner.

    I start at the end and work my way backwards. There are 3 acts, 6 plot lines, and 18 key scenes. You seem to think that Fx is more important than the spirit of a scene.

    Written into a corner.

    The MC is a bit of an emotional cripple. Basically got crapped on for most of his life, but then figured out not to get crapped on. You start curb stomping people. He puts his own survival first, his word second. Why? "Because it's the only thing that's mine that nobody can take from me." When...

    Ooo... now that would does sound like something the headmaster would pull.

    Nah. See, that's how readers come to distrust you. When they can see the hand of the author. I write the story logically. I set up the situation and very rarely does luck play a part. If a shift in personality is needed to get out of a situation, then the story sucks. I live with these limits...

    Oh. I assume that's what will happen. I don't see a way to reverse the outcome. I just wanted to get other people's thoughts and see if I missed something obvious. I'm fine with dropping the school arc. If anything, the MC would prefer it. It's not like he has any loyalty to the school. An...

    Hrmmm... the ultimatum idea has merit, but it couldn't be part of the original bet. As for a second bet to reverse the first, that would require the MC to agree. The brat just changing his mind or saying, the bet is off, won't work. The first bet is done. The results are in. The MC lost. The...

    Interesting work around, but I doubt the headmaster would agree. Not to mention the MC is not a loophole sort of fellow. At one point I was going to have the brat say, "Yes, I said leave the school. I didn't say for how long! Just walk out and walk back in! There! FIXED!" MC: Really? Remember...

    Written into a corner.

    So, here's the scene. MC and brat in a magic school setting fight. Mc challenged brat because brat insulted MCs sister. Brat sets the rules to no magic, just bare handed fighting. MC loses. Part of the fight was, if I win, you leave the school. However, there were no time constraints on that...

    I need story ideas

    1. Get rid of infinity. It ruins the stakes of any story. Why should I care about any outcome if it can be undone. 2. Define your time travel how and why it works. 3. Go buy and play the videogame: 5-dimensional chess with multiversal time travel. I LOVE 5d chess, but if you can't...
