Alright my last story I listened to was actually a World of Warcraft lore book. Illidan, so I’m going to TBC era of the Warcraft setting. Well I’m fucked if I’m going as myself. GROK, GIVE ME A RUNDOWN OF STANDARD ISEKAI. (I don’t want to be too nice to myself) Hmmm. Ok, I’ve got some...

Cool, but that wasn’t my point. Whatever reason you have behind the curtain will determine how they are distributed. Think through what the implications are, what the intent of the process is, etc. That will almost certainly have its own logical reasons as to why there is scarcity if you look...

Proposal: Have cross class skills be slot limited while class skills aren’t. Further, you can’t hot swap them. You want to learn a new skill from a book and you already have all of your slots full? Time to choose which of your existing book-skills you want to get rid of. For added drawback...

1 is more complex than you might think, because it basically doesn’t matter unless you also do 2. It’s not just that you make an imperfect MC. You also need to give those imperfections teeth. If the classic isekai fish out of water protag keeps stumbling into things because he has modern...

It sounds like it would get old very quickly but One Punch Man is extremely popular with an equally deliberately bad premise as its core joke. So it’s all about execution. So, are you a writing chad on par with ONE? If so, or you are willing to try to be, go for it.

I write fanfiction. I do enough original stuff and take enough liberties that I might as well write a completely original story, but I like having a premade world to draw upon. It makes me feel more secure and requires less effort for me to keep track of things.

My MC is currently facing legal proceedings for refusing to keep children in cages, among other things.

I’ve sorta used it myself, so I’m biased, but it’s probably fine as long as you take it seriously. Even the part where she will eventually become an ally will need to be carefully handled. The lady in question in my story will need to go through quite a character arc and make some serious...

Closest I’ve done so far is Filli, who joined my MCs team while he was in the slave pits. She’s a mutant slave soldier, kidnapped as a child and forced to serve as a guard and warrior for a dark elf noble house. She’s about 7 feet tall and 400 pounds of muscle, capable of shrugging off bullets...

If you’ve gotten good at character voice writing dialogue, you may try having the narrator be a character themselves. I got most of my practice with narration by having my MC tell the story and writing the whole thing in first person. This gives a much clearer frame of reference as to what your...

Waffle House. Yes the meme is that Waffle House is thunderdome, but they also sell really good breakfast at literally any time including 15 minutes after someone drove a truck through the front door. That is not an exaggeration.

Incidentally I have thought about this. I used to act in high school so I think I can do a remotely competent read if I use my wife’s mic she used to use for streaming. There are also voice changing AIs, some of which are even decent, which would allow me to voice act everything and then put my...

My current story contains too much smut, my prior stories contain even more smut, and my next planned story hasn’t been written yet. I totally will at least try to make a pseudo audiobook of it if I manage to actually write it.

I’m not your dad. You can do it, but you will absolutely be accused of misleading tags and will deserve it.

I’m currently a litrpg writer, but my plan for my next story that I’m planning is not Litrpg. It feels like a crutch, if that makes sense? There’s a feeling to litrpg where power growth is easier than in real life, but also formulaic. So my next story (still a side thing I’m planning and won’t...

AI editing is a bit like spell checker, in that it can help with technical stuff but not really artistic stuff, but it will PRETEND to weigh in on artistic stuff. I’ve found Claude to be the most useful for this, of the options I’ve experimented with, but only after I firmly tell it to stop...

Brandon Sanderson, one of the most successful writers in the game today, has literally hired physicists to help him flesh out how his magic systems work. Like most things in writing, it’s fine and sometimes even awesome to do. It’s about execution.

It’s a lot harder to have a reliable schedule for hosting D&D when I have a child and most of my friends have moved away so as to afford home ownership or live with their new significant others. I’m not writing instead of reading. I’m writing instead of DMing.

Well there’s always that web fiction classic, Worm. The MC in that has the ability to sense and control bugs. It is actually a very impressive ability once she figures out how to use it, but raw power wise it’s pretty mid. For comparison, other powers in the setting include touch range...
