    SSSC Feedback and Suggestions

    My preferred word count is 2,500 - 7,500. I hated the prompts offered during the third competition so, so much! They were so ugh! How to cook an egg? Switched body part? Amnesia? Blegh on all of them! If I can sum it up in one sentence then I think a prompt is a failure! A good prompt needs a...

    Ageless Media

    The classic movies: Pulp fiction, Jurassic Park, The Good, the bad and the ugly. I think Ghibli films have a real nice look and atmosphere but their actual stories are really weak, with no build up or tension and being instantly wrapped up in the closing act. Classic books: Don Quixote, The...

    Writing Prompt The worst possible way for someone to kick off their Isekei adventure.

    Wow, I actually already wrote an isekai. Actually two. Maybe more if I'm forgetting any. The first one has to do with an angel kid living on a cloud city being talked into jumping off of the said cloud city by a talking balloon in order for it to find its master. It's kind of a reverse isekai...

    Writing Prompt You hear a knocking sound on your window, but you live on the fifth floor.

    I'm in my apartment on a Wednesday night, browsing various internet forums on my laptop when I hear a knocking on glass. But I live on the fifth floor, so what could possibly be making this deliberate rhythm? I turned my back and what I saw was a middle-aged man in a navy blue jumpsuit. Hanging...

    Polarized

    Has anyone ever had the feeling of after writing a chapter and reading it over that it's either the best thing I've ever written or the worst thing I've ever written? I mean, there are some things about it I really, really like, but there are also some things I'm not sure about. I'm thinking to...

    Learning how to draw and do art.

    I am also interested in learning how to use photoshop to make a cover for my story.

    How do you name your characters?

    Okay, you know how some words sound sharp and edgy, and how some other words sound round and wavy? Apply the same principle. The name Olivia sounds like someone who is calm and collected. While a name like Hannah sounds more wild and energetic.

    Why? What makes you want to write? What is your "Writer's Creed"?

    I want to make people happy.

    Saying the bed is in the middle of the room sounds like the bed is literally in the middle of the room. Try to describe what type of wood the flooring is made out of, like birch or mahogany. Instead of white curtains how about cloudy, flowing curtains. And classic romantic honeymoon feel sounds...

    I'd like some deeper insight

    Hey, it was pretty good. The fact that I could only find that one little thing to nibble about. I like that the main character's motivation is clearly conveyed and relatable and the world seemed to have an interesting magic system.

    Dragon Prince

    I've watched until episode 6 of the first season. The occasional choppy frames are a bit distracting. I don't like the switchblade weapon as it feels extremely impractical, almost like a joke weapon. Also that grappling hook weapon that was able to act like a kusarigama with the way it was...

    Some feedback for my work blez!

    For the first sentence, saying in after reside is redundant. You call something endless too many times. For your second paragraph: You describe legendary warriors as "so powerful, tales and fables of them and their historic achievements were spread among countless worlds." That's literally...

    I'd like some deeper insight

    My main issue with the first chapter is this part: Hodge racked his brains. He still didn’t understand why Zeta cared. “Umm, seven, eight maybe. From what I’ve heard they’ve all been young girls in Greenwich.” Then he buried his head in his hands again. “Dammit! That means I should’ve seen this...

    Perchance, would you spare me a pithy?

    I read the first chapter and your writing style seems awkward to me. Using upon instead of on in the context of the narrator feels stiff and needless. You used rather too much. It's like using really or quite too much. It defeats the purpose of saying something is more so than ordinary if too...

    What are you listening to?

    I don't really listen to music because I think I can focus better without it. But sometimes when I'm listening to a particularly sad or exciting song it gets me in the mood to write something sad or exciting, or some other emotion.
