    What mythical creature do you think encompasses everything?

    Well, Define "Mythical". I think you can't go wrong with the Great Maw, warhammer 40k, but I think you need a change in perspective. Take D&D 3.5 The center of the Neutral realms is a giant Pillar that extends into the sky forever. It nullifies all magic when you approach. Now, my take on it...

    Does the story exist before the edits, or do the edits create the story?

    Pffft! You think you exist? That's hysterical!

    There is no need to mine me. I am a cloud of spite. One need only wait, and spite shall precipitate out of me. Sometimes, it's a sudden downburst. Sometimes, it's a mere misting. Sometimes internal convection currents result in spite rising high enough to freeze, fall, and rise again until it...

    Dumb & Dumber - The Ultimate Showdown

    Bah. Nobody is dumber than me. I could explain, but you'd all just get depressed. Or is it the dumbest on SHF, not the dumbest being who happens to use SHF? I'm not very dumb here. I'm an idiot in the real world.

    Making Master powers

    I'm working on a guy you can heal scars. Now, that doesn't sound like much, but an addiction to certain drugs or even a psychological addiction to power can result in basically scars forming on your dopamine receptors. In order words, over time you lose the ability to have empathy, so is often...

    Cartoonishly "evil"

    I'm looking for phrases that I can use for a character that's going to be cartoonishly offensive. Like, imagine a Karen's worst nightmare of political incorrectness. So I need funny, but terrible things for him to say. "Her body, my choice." "We're gonna liberate Canada, turn the place into a...

    Proving that the Star System is useless

    If it hasn't been addressed, the problem is selection bias. What stories do you read? Do you just RANDOMLY select a story? NO. You search for a topic that you like. RIGHT THERE YOU ARE PRIMED TO LIKE THE STORY ABOVE AVERAGE. So, even if every randomly selected story was an average of 3, the...

    Please Destroy My Novel's Cover

    Okay... The first girl looks like she is a cross between a 70's aerobic instructor and a monk made of bleach. The guy in the middle has a tiny black sloth lying on his head with it's front legs hanging down for sideburns. (Once you see it, it never goes away) The girl on the end looks like her...

    Popular among your friends?

    You dirty socialist. Teach your kid proper capitalism! Keep track of all you do for him and hand him a bill when he turns 18. Be kind and do not charge him interest. He's family, after all.

    How you continue after first phase as author?

    WHAT IS "PHYSICS" IN FICTION?" In fiction, we write stories based on reality, to some extent or another. It can follow reality very closely, like in a normal, slice-of-life romance, or it can have magic, super science, or spirits. It can even be really out there, like Flatland, a book about...

    Popular among your friends?

    Well, I just have one friend. He's this guy who has good drawing and writing skills, gets good grades, and is okay-looking. He's kinda popular because he knows when to crack a joke to lighten the mood. I say he's my only friend because I'm the only one who actually likes him. He's constantly...

    Cardinal Sin of Writing: Godmoding the Plot

    In my story, HKN, it starts off with someone who never read the book or played the game winding up isekai'd, and his first reaction is to go : CIA Plot??? He has no idea what the plot is, but someone else showed up who did and she absolutely destroyed the plot, accidentally. The main hero DIES...

    I consider that series a must watch for any author. It is a master class in how NOT to write a book.
