    Please Destroy My Novel's Cover

    First things first, dunno how many people I've already told that to, but if you edit a message, I won't be notified about your mentions or replies. I'll only get a notification when you mention or quote or reply to me when you first post. Now to the topic, composition generally refers to the...

    Please Destroy My Novel's Cover

    Personally, I have two issues with it. One, it feels kinds of artificial. Covers generally are either symbolic or spontaneous, but yours is neither of those. This isn't inherently a bad thing, but at least for me it's not interesting. It doesn't feel like it's representative of the story, but...

    Writing Happy-sad endings?

    Depending on the execution and most importantly on the reader, they can just as easily be horrible or amazing. There's a fucking masterwork manga I know (Beauty and the Beast Girl) (god damn I tore up just now) that I think is genuinely one of the best stories I have ever read, and it has a...

    The differences and similarities of web authors from different countries

    Though it's not that visible in modern fiction, a huge majority of stories from 100+ years ago were a reflection of the country the author lived in and their upbringing. Now it is less visible since nationality and upbringing means less with how well-connected the world is, but it is often very...

    How much time for a chapter?

    It's mostly a matter of preference. If you're writing specifically for money, it will likely be more profitable in the short term to write faster, if at a slightly lower quality. It also might be easier to quickly gather an audience. If you want to improve as a writer though, it's better to pay...

    New ship I've designed for my novel

    Okay, that's impossible though. Iron stops being a ferromagnetic at about a thousand degrees Celcius iirc, so you can't really heat it further with the magnetic field produced by the coils. The hardness of the projectile is virtually irrelevant at the velcities it would reach, so it should be...

    What is your way of recovering from a simple illness?

    Wear warmer clothes, spend time under a blanket if it's possible (for example when I'm playing games or working on something on the computer), make sure to sleep under the futon, eat vitamin C. If feet cold, dip them in hot water.

    New ship I've designed for my novel

    Overall the design's pretty good. Bonus point for bidirectional design, though I have doubts about the price of full-sized engines on both sides. However, I have two issues with the design. One, coilcannon. If it resembles a real coilgun in any way, it cannot fire depleted uranium as it needs...
