    Writing Relatable or Accurate?

    Is that a random example or what you actually wrote? Either way, you can actually combine both methods, and drop both the name for the color you want and add a relateable example. Not to mention that most color names are derived either from the source of the pigment (which often shares that...

    Recommendations Novels with beautiful physically strong and muscular general female characters

    If a futa main character in an all girls polycule (with explicit scenes) is OK, I'd recommend Natashe the Halve. If additional weebiness, lampshading of every trope and at times confusing gendering of the MC (genderbent, full female body, bot often addressed with masculine terms) is OK too: In...

    This one character

    It's rare for me that I actively drop a show I've started (instead of just loosing interest for a while), but I simply could not stand Daisuke from revisions. I mean, I can get behind characters with delusions or a savior complex, but the utter glee with which he reacted to the situation they...

    Boy x Girl, Girl x Girl, or Boy x Boy?

    I used to not care much, besides not having any interest in BL main couples (not that I read a lot of dedicated romance stuff), at least with books (not that there was a lot of BL or GL in mainstream books). With manga (and anime), I've always sort of had a thing for GB in general (with the...

    Coolest weapon names

    Anime has some nice things: Buso Renkin has Blaze of Glory, Near-Death Happiness, Killer Rabies and Fatal Attraction, just to give a few examples. Bleach has a ton of nice weapon names and powersets to go along: Senbonzakura, Zabimaru, Benihime, Zangetsu. Engetsu, ... Hellsing has the .454...

    "Curse" of immortality

    Immortality: All your loved ones will age and die around you and there is nothing you can do. You will be left behind to grief forever and either abstain from any deeper human bond or pile up the number of people you will grief for. If there is an afterlife, you'll never go there to reunite with...

    What is the Single Best Anime OP?

    How could I forget the greatness that is Dokuro-chan? I advise against sharing her contacts. I'm not sure what that would count as legally, but probably somewhere close to grossly negligent or assisted suicide. With people throwing more openings around, have a few more...

    What is the Single Best Anime OP?

    Is it a good or a bad thing that I can actually sing along with about half of the entries so far? But man, openings are hard, and like so much other music it's really dependent on my mood.#I think I'll go with Share the World for now:

    What does the unreliable narrator even mean.

    There is a HERO OF THE EMPIRE missing behind his name. On the topic: As already has been mentioned, an unreliable narrator does not present the story accurately. The reasons for that can be very different, from a very naive, childish mindset that doesn't really understand what is going on and...

    Lack of FMA Fandom novels

    FMA, Family with little girl and dog, ... critical hit in the feels. I honestly have no idea how it is on other sites, so it might just be that the fandom has yet to get attention by the authors active on SH.

    Writing Creating a Rhyming Character

    It can be a neat quirk, like most abnormal speech patterns, but like with every character trait, you have to make sure there is more to the character than that. Ideally, there should probably be a reason the character always speaks in rhymes, like a curse or magically binding oath (depending on...

    Recommendations Time loop or time travel

    Time reversal on (or right before) death is rather specific, tbh. Even more so if it's not a one off event at the start of the story but a regular thing, as you make it sound. Re:Zero really is the only thing that comes to mind for me, I haven't even heard of SSS-class suicide hunter. I could...

    Writing Prompt Reborn as Twins

    There is one here on SH. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/130598/im-twins/ Edit: I think I've seen where people post SH links and instead of text or the klink, there is a small preview-window. How do I do that?
