    Vote for your horror story protagonist!

    The medium and the Hunter sound the most protag-like to me. The Athlete and the Psychopath seem too much like side characters. As for the Miko, it could be protag material, but I still put her to the side.

    Need a world name for the plane of elemental water. (Not Atlantis, or anything sounding like it.)

    I am aware of each signs elemental affiliations. As the person above said, it wasn't really the point. I was more focused on the literal meaning of the word. Either way it was a simple shot in the dark. I much prefer the term the author went with. It had a lot more thought put into it then one...

    I like my genre but you don’t

    Honestly, I get the impression that BL is more popular sometimes. You see it everywhere. Every genre has it's niche. Just write what you like.

    Embarrassing story...

    What I was going to say. Also, if you don't mind, acting insane can be a good thing to practice if you're on a dangerous road at night too. It will usually keep you safe as people will avoid a seeming crazy person. It's good not to be embarrassed by such things.?

    In need of outside opinions

    Scifi probably leaves the most open to the imagination. The rest are constricted with individual historical prejudice. You'll find more creative freedom with sci-fi. But if you absolutely need the constraints of certain aspects of history. Industrial England is probably the freshest of options.

    Time For Epiphanies!

    Late night shower thoughts for me. I usually turn off all the lights, and use the shower water as a form of white noise to create a semi sensory deprivation chamber for myself. I've had some great inspiration there.

    Alchemy?

    If your serious about going in depth, you could research the historical alchemical texts. Just for fun and inspiration. there is a site "sacred-texts.com" you can check out that has translations of Alchemy related material for free. "As above so below" (Emerald Tablet of Hermes I think) and all...

    Writing Prompt four wolves in suits surround a rabbit. but the rabbit has a secret weapon. what is happening? why is it surrounded? what's the rabbits secret weapon?

    If you can't tell, I was struck by slight inspiration from Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Once that idea popped in my head, the rest flowed naturally.

    Writing Prompt four wolves in suits surround a rabbit. but the rabbit has a secret weapon. what is happening? why is it surrounded? what's the rabbits secret weapon?

    The rabbit breathed heavily. It's tiny heart thudding against its chest. The wolves had hunted it for revenge as the rabbit stealthily buried their cubs alive. Little did they know, this was exactly what the rabbit wanted. [Skill: Fang of the Wolf- Inactive] [Wolf Cubs Paw obtained: 27]...

    A story Idea I had in mind for months

    The "why" you want to write is also important. What is the thing you want to explore? What is your goal? The heart and the Voice of what you want to write. It can be something as simple as "What if some farmboy was tapped on the shoulder and told 'excuse me, but you're going to save the world.'...

    Writing Prompt Two enemy lawnmowers stride on to battle. Each with a human saddled on top. What happens? What is happening? Why? (That’s the prompt)

    Resource scarcity. They feed off of the death of the grass, whose sweet smell in their dying screams goes towards furthering the appetites of the two beasts of war. The men atop them are immaterial. Mere slaves to guide their voracious maw in a search for more food. Ever eating. Never ceasing...

    Historically/scientifically incorrect reference in a story

    Honestly, for the most part it doesn't bother me over-much. I recognize that a lot we consider "fact" today has a good possibility of being woefully inaccurate. particularly when it comes to history. We do the best we can with what we have, but there is a lot of guess work and theorizing, with...

    Writing i need some help with world building IMPLICATIONS (urban fantasy)

    Well if you think in the terms of our hunter/gatherer beginnings, this would almost certainly put women more in the "Hunter" role. While there is still periods and pregnancy to contend with, (large reasons why women originally were kept closer to home as gatherers) Having magical indestructible...

    How many times do I have to catch fire before I can classify myself as a fire hazard?

    Maybe your body is trying to to obtain fire related superpowers? You could even call yourself Fire Hazard then. I have the same issue with fire, but I only somehow get set on fire when I'm drunk. So maybe my powers will involve alcohol based flame? Seriously though it's a problem. So I don't...

    The more I learn about misfortune, the less I see the point of life.

    In my opinion, life is about the present moment. Appreciating what you have in the now, and enjoying all the little things in life, with hope it might be a bit better for you going forward. Of course there will be tragedy, and days where it's just hard to be alive. But I try to focus on what I...
