Yup, that's the reference! The conclusion to the story was amazing, and I don't think anyone has ever actually won Call of Cthulhu.

"What have yee mickle darned cultists done with meh wee men?!"

There's my story where the main character is entirely focused in his mission to the point where he outright rejects romantic advances on him. Technically, there's a harem that does show up halfway through the story, but it's shown as something suspicious and/or mocked by the main character...

Ayy, I saw my story on there! I'm going to be honest, I made it in like 30 minutes in inkscape, and I am most certainly not an artist :P Apparently the person I did hire to make the cover art kind of disappeared off the face of the earth, so I'm still stuck with this. Maybe I should go ahead and...

In such a scenario, I'd probably start by focusing on just one pair, while making it known that there are others around. When one has gone far enough that the characters and settings are established, switch off to another (maybe they meet? or something that makes them relevant), and carry on...

Sad in how true that is. The rest of you just make me feel gross after reading your responses, so good job! I guess...

Looks like you haven't been on this site for that long then.

Might as well recommend my story in that case! Main character is an ex-isekai protagonist who travels to different Worlds to save Earthers who got dragged there for nefarious purposes (eg. to fight petty wars on behalf of a selfish king, rather than against a Dark Lord to save the World, or to...

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his...

Along with making a point that it really is a coincidence and that you had the bad luck of having it release so soon to... that day. To get across the human side :D

Plotter here. But as I write, I might end up coming up with something even better or an entirely new direction to take the story in, so in that way I'm kind of a pantser. But then after that chapter I might go and remake my plans to take into account the changes, usually in a way that has...

Yup, my go-to is dialogue as well, but sometimes when things would get really long, a paragraph of prose is good to get out the details that wouldn't easily come about in organic conversation so I can skip ahead to the better bits of the story.

I've tried getting messages across via symbolism, but I feel like unless you beat your viewers on the head with it like a stick, they won't really realize. In the early chapters of my story, I have the main character essentially reject the "stereotypical isekai power fantasy" by being dismissive...

Put your left foot out, put your left foot in, put your left foot out, and shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey, and get yourself up, cause that's what it's all about!

No such thing as too big. Just make it cover the entire page so everyone will be forced to see it!

"Like" how? Either way, a character in either position can lead to a lot of character development or be an interesting character for the MC to bounce dialogue off of. But as a person, either way, younger is adorable and would be doted on, older means someone who's been through everything before...

lol same. Maybe if I were in Paris I'd mess around and move some people who were walking up the stairs down a flight or something.

Yes please! I have an idea for a story that makes use of the chinese xianxia with mythological India at the same time, essentially a mountain range splitting the two. Coming up with how their power systems interact and service from mostly the same source will also take some time. Also with the...

Thanks for the reply, I definitely found it insightful! Speaking of black characters, I planned to have one as the protagonist of my next/second next book. The only potential "stereotype" that applies to him is that he is a teenager who had a bad home life (though I don't see how that's a...

Already gave you one, including a review! Not that I actually read your story, but it was still a very appropriate review nonetheless.
