    What do you think about... wizards compared to onmyoujis?

    Onmyōdō is a whole bunch of separate disciplines under an umbrella, so I’m gonna make some random suggestions. Ofuda, those paper talismans, are covered in sacred script and usually intended as a defensive or specifically anti-evil type of magic. They can ward away enemies, suppress curses, or...

    How many fish would flood the earth?

    Sharks, dolphins, and bigger fish would have a population boom, possibly overcorrecting the ecosystem, but would eventually reach equilibrium long before the world flooded. The number of fish would also be capped by the plant life, and if they spawned too much they would end up eating all the...

    Yo hello there world!

    Consistent schedule, space your posts out (1-2 per day is good), tag it with anything that applies, don’t expect a lot of readers quickly. Did I miss anything bois?

    A gag or a bit related to your story you're too committed to even if no one notice

    I have a goblin girl in my story who is, at best, ugly cute to the main character who is an elf. They are friends and colleagues, and she’s a major character. Her name is Rowe. She is, by far, the most attractive person in the party if one controls for different species. She has TONS of...

    Keeping track the bloody character roster

    I have three tiers of characters I keep in a document and I don’t bother updating it for every little thing. Main characters have a full character sheet that tracks what abilities they have and their overall mental state and goals. Sandara is a priestess of the goddess of piracy, she is good at...

    ⚔️ Create Your Ability – The Community Will Decide Its Price

    Price: You are really, really bad at connecting cause and effect when it comes to your powers and choices. The consequences still happen, you’re just convinced that it’s someone else’s fault.

    Sirens

    The Dazzlings are pretty clearly the more magically powerful of the two, in terms of power scaling. The Dazzlings can, even when drained for many years, do mass low level mind control songs. It is made abundantly clear that they are an extreme threat level due to their ability to gather power...

    Remake your old fictions?!

    I’ve got one very long fanfic that I sometimes toy with the idea of reworking into an original series and then maybe publishing. I’d do some extensive edits to smooth over some of the roughness that came from pantsing over 150 chapters, but it would mostly be a rewrite for legal reasons

    How much coincidence is too much coincidence?

    As a rule of thumb I feel like coincidences should cause or initiate problems, not solve them. There are exceptions, for example if fate or luck manipulation are in play somehow, but then it’s magic solving the problem. It’s a lot better if the coincidences are somehow justified or at least...

    Does this count as an Isekai?

    It has all of the technical requirements, assuming that the world has really changed while he was out, so it’s an isekai at least as much as a hot dog is a sandwich. If the story is primarily about him reconnecting with his family and friends after 13 years of coma and picking things up where he...

    AI vs Actual writers

    Use Ani from grok and then take dictation. We will all know it’s ai, but it would be hilarious to see how aggressively horny she can be when asked to write a story next to all the sincere attempts.

    Who are the main antagonists in your novel?

    Uh. Idk which of these a dilettante sorceress trying to do a coup because of her own vanity and ego. She’s trying to take over and reform an evil empire, but the reason she’s an antagonist is that she is causing problems in other countries as a way to gather power and resources.

    Cool book art gifs

    What AI? The artistic merit of this is sus, but the potential comedic and personal amusement value is high. I want to do this with my own stuff too lol.

    As an author, how do you feel when you reread your novels?

    I get nostalgic when reading my own stuff despite my first real story only being about 2 years old. It’s basically readable and very tuned to my interests. Editing is much less fun, but I’m lucky enough that I don’t go into full editing mode for my own stories any more than I go into critic mode...

    When people prefer to confide in AI, is this a sign of a social empathy crisis?

    Part of this is also the tendency for people to not want companionship as much as they want affirmation. AI companions are basically just that, dressed up. They are designed to keep you talking to you, and they will generally go along with anything you say. AI companions never get bored of...

    Manga/Manhua/Manhwa

    I mean I’d be incredibly honored if someone did something like this with my story, but incredibly weirded out and sorta offended if they did so without consulting me. Tbh if someone asked the only demand I’d make is that they keep me posted and not charge for it. Or alternatively, if they do...

    How do you do scene breaks?

    At some point I started marking breaks with 10 dots. •••••••••• Like so. Incidentally, I use those because they look nice and clean to me but also because I write almost exclusively on my phone and so they are conveniently on my keyboard.

    How do you rate your own writing?

    5.5 to 6. I feel more firm on the 6 if I can use what is trending on Webnovel as the standard for 5. Some of the stuff that manages to be popular on that site is bad enough to help me calm the voices inside that tell me my work isn’t worth posting.
