I posted all of part I because it's been done for a while, but just started posting the second part... Joel and Mark, at school in the new world. It's an isekai story. Joel's a prince. He'd better be careful what he wishes for :) Next short chapter scheduled for Weds. If anyone actually is...

I tend to prefer to read fluff. Somehow I end up writing angst. Go figure.

Weren't all the classic character re-used in LXG already out of copyright? One distinction between fanfic, and just writing a sequel/spinoff/alternate version is that you need permission for the latter when the characters original works are still in copyright (or, more rarely, if they aren't...

I was making up stories as a kid, perhaps partially inspired by playing D&D, long before it occurred to me to write them down. I made the jump from that to writing them down as an actual for-fun thing when I was like 12 or so. Been an on-and-off hobby ever since. Been trying to turn it into a...

Unless it's intentional mind-screw stuff, fiction has to make sense. Real life doesn't, and if you cherry pick the weird parts, there are a lot of things in real life that we'd dismiss as coincidence. Even more true when you consider that looking back on history you have a lot of...

https://www.scribblehub.com/series/433915/my-best-friend-is-a-prince-from-another-world/ Non-reincarnation Isekai - mostly school life with some political mystery and harem stuff that's still not on the front burner :)

Or just remember the important ones, roughly how they played out and fill in the details. Unless your players are huge actor-wannabes, odds are the table talk and any acting out the characters is going to make terrible dialog :)

I think there are a bunch of western fantasy books that came out of people's D&D campaign/world. I remembered https://www.ethshar.com/ethsharfaq.shtml as one of them but from that it looks like my memory is a bit off. Not sure if it's OK to link to reddit here, but discusses a bunch. In...

A couple of series come to mind from this thread (both Western Fantasy) - the De Camp and Pratt "Compleat Enchanter"/Harold Shea stories (which have appeared in a number of slightly-varied titled volumes depending on how many of the stories get lumped together) where magic is based on...

Wondering why that's good for satire? I'm used to seeing 2nd mainly for Choose-your-own-adventure type stuff. One thing that I've seen work really well for satire is 3rd-person where there's a snarky/sarcastic narrative voice, rather than the traditional "tight third." See...

Also, in the common "elemental magic" setting, firearms (especially anything before percussion caps) are often trivially easy to defeat with magic. If you can make it rain on demand, you've can pretty much eliminate an army of matchlocks or flintlocks. If you can ward off arrows, bullets are...

Sweet! I uploaded the forum copy to the series so that it would be approved and there'd be something better than my comipo one ASAP :) I hope it's OK. If you've got any tips on resizing it down LMK. Qq: how would you like me to credit you for the image on the series page? Would love to...

There's also a subtype of Transmigration where the other world is real, but it's not automatically a one-way trip - stuff like GATE, or Outbreak Company (also really common enough in western fantasy literature to have a subgenre of "portal fantasy.")

I haven't tried Grammarly, but I switched from Google Docs to MSWord because Google broke the dark mode plugin I used, and discovered that their built-in grammar checker caught some things I actually agreed with. you Edit to add: Apparently, they have a browser extension that uses the same...

I love it. :) Yes, please do.

If this is still open, https://www.scribblehub.com/series/433915/my-best-friend-is-a-prince-from-another-world/ (and thanks folks who helped me make the synopsis a little better.)

That matches my understanding of it. It can just transfer a _lot_ of energy to a very small area because it doesn't spread out via the inverse square rule. Although once you have magic, it doesn't have to follow real-world rules anymore, and even in nominally SF works a lot of "beam weapons"...

I saw that one on your profile, that's really nice! I'll take your advice on sticking to one; the first thing that comes to mind for a noble lady is that one of the girls (Violet) is actually the daughter of an important diplomat (and minor noble) of the country Joel is the prince of. I was...

There are definitely waifus coming in part 2 (and the main ones involved with Joel show up briefly in the interlude sections of part 1, although as viewpoint characters so there's not much description :) ) I'm terribly at visual composition, but what I was trying for with my original comipo...

Absolutely :) Although I guess the question is, does the waifu drawn have to appear in the story?
