    Explain the standard cultivation realms for dummies

    I know. Like I said, I was skeptical at best. It made no scientific sense. that said... It seemed relevant. "Sit and meditate for eons on end until poof, you're a god." The dude was mummified in a meditating position, so it looked like he was meditating for eons.

    Explain the standard cultivation realms for dummies

    like those rumors years ago about the mummified monk that was supposedly still showing a slow heart beat, despite being mummified for like, 500 years? Was always skeptical about it, but that rumor seems related.

    Explain the standard cultivation realms for dummies

    that... seems really boring. Or maybe that's just my ADHD preventing me from enjoying something so mundane. But it seems you'd need food and bathroom and water at least until you actually get to immortality.

    Explain the standard cultivation realms for dummies

    nah , I meant the game itself was LITERALLY 1000% just clicking to encourage the character to continue meditating. That's it. Game play, graphic, etc. The "goal" was to reach godhood simply by clicking enough times (i.e., the character never got up and tested, he never did ANYTHING. not even...

    Explain the standard cultivation realms for dummies

    My first foray into cultivation was a crappy cultivation game. The whole thing was "click until you get to the next stage". The only real graphic for it was a guy meditating. So for the longest time I literally thought it was just meditating for ages upon ages until one day you open your eyes as...

    Writing "Whenever you get stuck, kill a character"

    It's similar to "Show, don't tell." the MEANING is good, but the wording is horrid. We're writers. We literally TELL for a living. We TELL what a person is feeling, we TELL their body language, WE TELL EVERYTHING RELEVANT. Which Is why I'm always careful to explain that telling is fine. You...

    Success for Anonymity?

    I suppose it really just depends. If I get to keep OFFICIAL ownership, then sure. It's not uncommon for authors to have partners. The split between "crowd work" and "writing work" would be a little weird, but it's not uncommon for people to co-author books. Remember the Warriors' series? The cat...

    hi, I'm new here

    howdy! I'm down for some GL. I write some BL, but I'm not personally into reading it all that often (Very few people write the couplings and style of BL I enjoy, honestly). That said, welcome! I'm sure you'll find your stories right at home here. It's kind of the antithesis to RR, though not...

    Why not make this, poll for which you like more

    I definitely appreciate readers, and look forward to seeing you there. But there's no rush. I don't see myself going anywhere for a long while.

    Why not make this, poll for which you like more

    ahh. I've gotten the other approach a lot - "smut means it's just porn. Erotica is plot with porn." but again, erotica usually seems to be more female-friendly/emotionally driven porn rather than action based. But since there doesn't seem to be any solid definitions (unlike other genres, like...

    Why not make this, poll for which you like more

    lol you obviously don't know my works. I'm far from famous on here, but I'm known for my Mysthavia series (Lay the Dragon and DragonBound) being dragon-girl smut series. my current work has pivoted from scalie to furry (Fractured Bonds, formerly known as Fursekai). In short, a lot of Furry...

    Resolved Error Establishing a Database Connection

    my bad. I didn't see it until now. The other was likely moved, but it was marked as resolved, either way. edit: Also, the one I'm referring to was posted july 1st, 2023. which I didn't see until just now. But yeah, that one was revived for this issue, apparently.

    Resolved Error Establishing a Database Connection

    2nd thread for this issue. It seems to be an issue serverside - meaning likely not Tony, but the people he rents server space from.

    What role would you take in a movie/series adaptation of your story.

    funny you should mention that, I'd actually been thinking about doing audiodramas on youtube. Thinking about doing that with a horror novel.

    What role would you take in a movie/series adaptation of your story.

    Agreed. If I ever decide to break into an animated medium, I'd probably go a similar route to Vivziepop (Hazbin hotel). Make a pilot with some friends, hope to get an offer from a big company. I'd likely decline disney merely on the basis that it's disney.

    What role would you take in a movie/series adaptation of your story.

    I'll do that when I decide I don't want any control :blobrofl:

    What role would you take in a movie/series adaptation of your story.

    lol then switch everyone. Make Aise a girl and Lazuli a guy.

    What role would you take in a movie/series adaptation of your story.

    I'd want to be a consultant with ultimate VETO power. If they try to make anyone anything they aren't, Veto. If they try to make Nury a guy, or Aise a girl (or worse, make Seymour a girl!), I'd want power to veto these choices. They were made as they are for a specific reason.

    Resolved Error Establishing a Database Connection

    I use Ywriter as a good offline word processor. Better than Word (it's free and more geared towards novelists and webnovelists) and you can customize the UI in any color, so I made mine a nice dark blue with white font. edit: If you're on mobile, I'd recommend either the notepad for the dark...
