There are many ways to decide. If they are all/each romantically attracted to the MC, and are willing to 'share', then you probably want a smaller harem, and maybe have them lean toward bi so that they can develop relationships with each other. Of course, if you do this too well, you wind up...

While one does not need to know the finish of the story when they start the story, you should have some idea of scope/scale of the story. Will you be saving/conquering a kingdom, a continent, or a world? During your writing, you should be able to find the antagonist (whether a person or a force...

See this file over here? it has a list of over 20 story ideas. And that's just the ones I decided were worth keeping. If it doesn't fit into my current story, then it can fit into a future one.

Well, there's a lot of relationships in my story, and I seem to have sold them all. At least, according to reader feedback. Anyway, first things first. Your characters need to be people. Good character writing 101. Now, they have to be people who would be attracted to each other in some way...

No, because harems have a central figure. You can have 3+ people without it being Harem *if* all people involved are romantically involved with each other. This obviously requires bisexuality (or homosexuality if all are the same gender). It's called a polycule. Using my own for an example...

Alright, I don't know what your exact setup is, but I have played and GMed play-by-post on RPoL before, and I do have some general advice on that. Assuming that you have people who are interested in rolepaying in depth with their characters, this is a great opportunity. But you also don't want...

I've just been using imgur to host my images, it's worked fine.

My take: 1) Magic has a 'field', just like the various forces in the real world have. However, unlike real world forces, this field is A) not quantum (i.e. does not have a discrete minimum value) and B) the field's strength is not uniform throughout the universe. Thus it can have a field...

Mordecai: Having thoroughly fucked things up before, he has been freed from his bindings after centuries, and he is going to use this new chance to become a better person and try to make up for a fraction of the harm he'd cause before. Moriko: This 36 year old half-elf is a martial disciple of...

Mordecai is an ancient being, and long ago he fucked up. And he knows it. There was justification for his rage and vengeance, but he went too far and was too careless about who else was going to get hurt. Because of that, a lot of innocents did get hurt and killed in the war he waged. He...

It helps if you already get into mythology stories IRL. Here's my current list, though I should note that several of them are lifted in part or in whole from real myth, but that does fit my setting as the creation story involves an alliance of gods from disparate other realities coming together...

The easy answer would be to use the deity whom my user account is the namesake of. Become the emperor of the gods and have the 9-tail kitsune, mirror-twin goddesses of the Sun and of the Moons and Stars as my wives, etc. Not a bad deal. Skipping down to the mortal realms, maybe Ricardo. Retired...

Infinite worlds, yadda, but with a specific explanation (for me at least): 'magic' is one of the variables of a given universe, as are magic-like abilities. In our universe, that universal field is set either at zero, so close to zero as to make no difference, or (unlike quantum fields) the...

Well, let's start with my own: "No Need For a Core?" I would also recommend: Dungeon of Knowledge Broken Lands (which does not require reading the previous story, but some people find it easier. Shadowbane Those are the only three on SH that I am reading that are actively posting. Others have...

I use LibreOffice as well, and copy-paste without issue. My files are saved as .rtf by default.

Having just commissioned art from a fairly successful artist; yeah, she had no issues with my having used LLM images and was of the opinion that they could make a good reference point once one does commission art. LLM generated images are not a threat to her. However, I do prefer being more...

And sometimes, you just give the character an 'opposite' name. Shizoku means "quiet girl" (or something close to that). Shizoku is an opinionated teenage prodigy with a short temper. Which, to be fair, is because she's smart enough to recognize that she does stupid teenager things, but emotions...

Mordecai: Absolutely (using his current avatar). Even ignoring the ability to just heal himself or cast other spells, he has mastered at least one martial art style in any given broad category, and several variations of the ones that have specialized branches. Can also use chi techniques with...

For my world, different sorts of magical/enhanced healing have different rates. From fastest to slowest: Repair of intact tissues (bruises, micro tears, minor bone fractures, etc) --> closing of wounds with sufficient tissue (most cuts and piercings) --> 'fill in' or realignment healing of...

As a panster writing the fifth and final book of his first series... (unless this bit runs long enough I need to make a sixth) Of course, as soon as I had figured out who my primary antagonist was going to be, I had a scope and end point for my story. I also allowed myself to entirely abandon...
