Just about the writing: I think it isn't necessary to be great at it. Of course, getting something really popular done is some form of gratification, but what is important about it is that you like it. What you need is something that you really want to write about. Some story that you like to...

I use Wordpad on an almost breaking apart acer tablet that still has Windows 8, because they never again got a better display keyboard together. It's held together by some straps of plastic and my hopes, and once it breaks apart, I'm gonna cry.

While I guess the majority will come from my original story (which I guess has a decently large reader base), it's supposed to be an anthology. It's about the origin stories of those characters. So I want to write it in a way that it's also interesting to someone dropping in for the first time...

Well, thing is, it's already written. I'm more curious if there's a way to improve on it. Right now, it might be foremost for those who already know that character from my other story. The base is quite decent so, but anyone who just clicks on it because it's plopping up as a new story may...

Seriously, no. I like the character as she is. She was entertaining in the main story, and I'm absolutely convinced of her character. I may not have perfectly conveyed it here, due to the impossibility of reducing a character to a few lines, but the character is the least of my problems.

I may try. Yet I actually never used that. In hindsight, I might also have a problem with marking the part of the dialogue between the two narrators that isn't recollection. Kinda don't want to use italics. Not sure how this is conbeyed on Google Docs. For really interested, I could offer...

I'm a bit in a creative dilemma. The issue is, I want to write something like an anthology that plays in one of my established stories, Eldritch. Because it's vastly different, I'd do so as its own thing. Now, details: Currently, I only have one story for this anthology, around 18000 words of...

Personally, it also quickly drives me away when the initial adjustment period is skipped in an Isekai. The worst is if the protagonist straightaway slays a monster to introduce the leveling system. It's an artificial event and makes the person look like a psychopath who all their life waited to...

My MC can't ever find me. If they do, I'm done for. That I turned her into a slime, in a rather gruesome transformation, is still one of the, well, not lighter things, but stuff piles up. Though the girl whose parents I slaughtered in front of her eyes, then transformed her into her very...

Okay, but then I fear your name is a lie.

My personal big issue with Isekai stories is when the transmigration doesn't matter. I see tons of stories where you could've easily rewritten the plot so that it would fit a native of this world. And if this happens, the isekai becomes just pointless and nothing but clickbait. Two points I...

I liked Skip and Loafer also, in terms of comedy "You and I are Polar opposites" is nice. Also, also, in terms of great comedy, I can recommend Sword Art Online Abridged. They turned those two characters into total variants sociopaths, which makes their developing relationship pretty fascinating.

Usually, if something that should've been obvious gets me by surprise. Like, you know how a character is, you know about their habits, and then, during a completely mundane situation, where you completely forgot about certain peculiarities, the absurdity strikes hard, as the character behaves...

Now I'm asking myself where my own Eldritch goddess would row herself in there.

I usually try to maintain a degree of casualness in conversations. Of course, it depends on the situation, but discussions are never merely about information exchange. Don't just infodump the topic, but show their personal stance towards the situation. Include personal comments, patterns of...
