The thing is, at least for the two most popular dead mythologies, it's impossible to separate the literary from the religious. With the Greek and Roman myths, many of the surviving are derived from adaptations of previous stories (or outright inventions) by writers like Ovid. The Greeks and the...

That's very fair. Honestly I don't necessarily disagree with the statement that fanfiction is often easier in that way, because it is. It's just going to depend on the kind of fanfiction you write, and how much you're changing/adding onto canon. For example, the work of my friend I talked about...

Haven't done translations (well, I've tried to translate papers a few times, but I assume that doesn't translate), but I have written original fiction and fanfiction and I'd say original fiction is easier than fanfiction. With fanfiction, you have to put in the extra effort of keeping what...

Honestly, sucks if people stop a novel you're enjoying, but that's their right. Religion is as good a reason as any other for that. And unless there is more information given, I see very little point in speculating about the particulars like "'they converted recently" or "they got pressured."...

1. What would you do? Yeah kill them. I'm not happy to say that, but it's the only long term solution. Breeding humans is unethical, I oppose the death penalty pretty much always so that's not a solution, you can maybe try to get a cultural ideal running of humans sacrificing themselves but...

I do actually think tags like this are alright to use for non historical stories. Terms like 'ancient China' or 'medieval' etc. are ways to denote periods and areas in our world's history but with the advent of historical fiction they've also become categories that combine certain sets of tropes...

I'd call the police if the cruise ticket came. Maybe I'm overtly optimistic but everything up till then is either pretty regular secret admirer stuff (which is kind of romantic) or kind of weird stuff that you could still talk out with the person if you sat down with them (like the sex toy)...

Maybe my opinion on the word count is a bit skewed, as I'm not the kind of person who writes every day (or every week for that matter). That said, it's not one of my prevailing reasons for thinking this is unreasonable. In fact I don't think this is unreasonable at all really! Just that if you...

So here's the thing: why would someone want to enter into this when there's free contests around? The prize is decently big but not necessarily worth it to try cranking out a 10 000 word story in a month that's also of a good enough quality to have a chance at winning, especially if you have a...

Well, one of those things might take precedence in terms of production, but that doesn't mean it can't be brought up that a feature like this would be good to have.

Awesome to hear ^^ I'll have to start thinking of ideas

Just to check, what's the definition of a folktale used for this? Does it also cover mythological stories like the material from the Edda's, or other myths and legends like that?

Yeah unfortunately the first chapter doesn't seem to have any text. Maybe something went wrong with uploading?

It might not need a sequel but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be bad. It's not like the original space jam is a high bar to clear anyway. But hey, I thought Ghostbusters 2016 was a good, fun movie so maybe I just don't have high standards :P

Regarding the genitals thing: even if two characters have penises, if they're both girls, as far as I'm concerned they're girls and its GL, not BL. There are definitely people who get repulsed by seeing penises in any depiction of sex between women, but they're certainly not a majority from what...

"it makes less practical sense even if it makes moral sense. People tend read them because of their fetish, not because they walk with their lesbian friend in the lgbt pride walk or something usually. " That's new to me. I don't read yuri because it's a fetish but because I'm a lesbian, same...

There's no need for separate genres for trans people. Two trans women loving each other is two women loving each other, therefore it's yuri. Trans people aren't something fundamentally different, they're still women or men (or neither of course, or both, depending on the person) with a modifier...
