    OSRIC spells

    Is it generally acceptable to use the OSRIC spells and magic system in a book? It is open source, but I'm wondering what peoples thoughts are on it? My main concern would be tripping any weird copyright. https://osricrpg.com/

    Writing I have one chapter to make my wife cry

    No, the protagonist is a 'Game Master' with the ability to influence happenings in the world, but he is completely unaware of this fact. Much like a Game Master for a D&D game would be able to control a world.

    Spammers?

    Especially after the 3rd one claiming that they found your work super amazing, etc, all with non specific generic words.

    Writing I have one chapter to make my wife cry

    I'm using the death as character development for a character that will be the focus for a few chapters, and to help reveal some power that the protagonist has. Later on this will be used as a 'what have I done' moment for the protagonist, initially though they will be unaware that they were the...

    Spammers?

    Yep, the comments were so generic, and claiming they found emotion in my writing. Thing is my writing is not going to evoke strong emotions in people, it isn't the intent with what I've written so far. I've left the comments on my chapter, because at least it looks like engagement, lol.

    Offering Critiques [Open for submissions, adult works welcome]

    If you have the time, a critique of my first few chapters would be appreciated. I'm trying to keep the pacing slow, as I think the main character would become too overpowered and the story would have nowhere to go. My wife has been reviewing it, but it isn't her cup of tea. Additionally being...

    Writing I have one chapter to make my wife cry

    Unfortunately to provide motivation to a character I need a specific character to die, also to reveal the reader the impact the main character has on the world, without being too explicit about it.

    Writing I have one chapter to make my wife cry

    She cried when reading the Northern Lights series I believe, and more recently the story Sunrise on the Reaping. So comparing me to those amazing authors is going to be a tall ask.

    Writing I have one chapter to make my wife cry

    I like to set tall goals, even I make her a little sad, I'd class that is a win to be honest.

    Writing I have one chapter to make my wife cry

    I plan to introduce and make my reader care about a character and then kill them off. My wife has challenged me to try and get her to cry. Any tips on how to get the reader to care about the character in question? Some things I have gleaned from a bit of research: - Make the person feel real...

    Spammers?

    I've just published the first few chapters of my book, but I've already got 3 comments from people that seem not so genuine. Once you respond they offer to do some visualisation for you. I'm assuming this is a scam or just marketing. Anyone else experienced this?

    What app/program do you use for outlining your plots?

    I'm using Google Docs for the general outline, I use obsidian to keep track of the characters and places. My book is likely to end up with 100s of characters, so I needed something to keep them at least a little consistent.
