I am beyond tantalised by the water-filled vinyl gloves hanging from her hair.

I think they are pretty good, e/π. Nobody has commented about them specifically, so I can remain ignorant.

If you want victorian flavour, then the guy should really be referred by [Title] [Placename], like Lord Serfflux (of Serfflux), and then have an silly actual name like Percival Bongcotton.

Dunsany didn't make the mistake of describing hair colours in The King of Elfland's Daughter. If only Tolkien had thought of Zelda before writing about his elf princess ?

The premier element of English is the plethora of recondite sesquipedalian words that are in truth perfectly cromulent compounds loaned from the more sensible foreign vernacular.

Hmm... Perhaps I should start rating my own stories. Giving an earnest 1-star rating would no doubt make them really pop out on the Latest Releases.

Best worldbuilding happens in the head of the audience. Stories are merely a weaponised memetic vector to make someone hallucinate fairy castles and whatnot.

My first novella here might reach 1k within six months (currently at 940 views). :blob_drool:

Writing fanfiction is infinitely harder. Have you seen what fanfiction decent enough to read is? Literally part of the literary canon, like Virgil or Dante. Original proselets can't compete with that.

The trick is to filter enough genres so your books appear on the trending (for you) from time to time, giving just enough of an ego boost to survive another day.

Nothing matters after we'll get our brains rewired for chronic bliss and stuffed to wither in a pod, until robo-satan from the future comes to impale us on the eternal spikes of the torment nexus in order to generate enough suffering to compel the messiah out from the noösphere.

I only got K and D :blob_drool: not very skibidi of me

Moby Dick: Whether to never give up or let Ishmael down.

I think you succeeded well with the colours. :blob_okay:

While I'm not opposed to portal fantasy, it feels like an artefact from the time, when authors weren't confident enough about their ability to onboard the audience into a new speculative setting without inserting a real world point of view. A relic that should be left in the vault to be handled...

Got to come back later to check those who answered "Show don't tell" to find out the authors who write actual prose instead of screenplays.

Good that I noticed this before going on a futile rant just to reiterate what everyone else was saying. Anyhow, just pick the one that you yourself feel fits the implied aesthetic of the story better. The part of the audience which vehemently insists on consuming only "sci-fi" or "fantasy"...

Echidna. I have little knowledge of MGE, but at quick glance the characterisation appears to coincide with a certain snake archetype in mythology, which I find intellectually fascinating and totally not my chief personal fantasy.

Nothing degrees that the stories of even whole series of novels can't take place in the same city.
