Well, what do you know? Thanks!

As the title asks, how do you do it? I've seen several people with it in the same format, so I was wondering if there's an easy way to do so? Thanks!

Sounds like a cool idea! I'd say the first time someone uses one, have something happen in the background for each verse. Like with the first verse of your example poem, have the air turn still or create a foreboding breeze. Then various plants begin to grow at an accelerated rate after the...

You too, huh? Well, mostly how I make fun of them. (linky below in my signature if any of y'all are interested. gotta pump up those numbers!)

Holy shit, the mental image of that is hilarious! But are there really that many stories that outright do such a thing? If so, is it the limited ethnic and cultural diversity in a lot of those countries that spawn such plotlines? I've heard that Korea can be really racist to black people in...

So I'm in the process of writing and uploading the final chapters of my first book! It's been a wonderful journey, and I wanted to share all of the really cool things I came up wit hand wrote with all of you! I plan to go back and edit the entire thing after a short hiatus after the conclusion...

Can't have shit in Detroit!

That seems really cool! There are a lot of other people who've already posted their own stories, but it'd be really cool if you could take a look at mine to see if it'd be a good fit! I tried to make more of a somewhat comedic yet serious deconstruction of the isekai genre about a bunch of...

A lot of people here seem to be saying that exposition is shorter and easier, but as I see it, it can be the opposite. "Tell" just means that you write something that gets across an idea without spelling it out word for word. Like, if you want the reader to know that the part of town the main...

By the looks of things, I might end up taking over as regent for the prince while making sure he grows up just and moral, while taking out the trash in the background via exposing/framing corrupt nobles. Or just do what Olga of Kiev did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_of_Kiev#Drevlian_Uprising

Coffee and roasted almonds! That's my go-to at least. Otherwise, I haven't had the chance to try many toppings out, beyond whipped cream, which really goes well with anything too sweet or with really strong flavors like chocolate.

I call an edgy 17 year old Japanese student to come beat it up for me while he complains all the way.

I don't see my story there. Not sure if I should be happy I wasn't ripped off, or disappointed nobody there thought my story was worth stealing :P

That's pretty much the reason why I read, and why I was never fond of shows like Arthur when I was a kid. It was always too real, man. I have to deal with all of that enough in real life, I don't want it to bother with it while trying to escape it! Also for me, my reason for writing is that I...

Congratulations! I've got maybe 4 more chapters to post before I'm done with my first book, myself. I'll probably start feeling things a day after publishing it, strong emotions always feel like they're on a delay for me.

For occasional swears, I don't bother. Like pg 13 movies allow one free use of the f word, I might use one every few chapters. If there's a lot of swearing, I'll add the tag, like I plan to for my next story.

Such a story sounds really nice. If you bring in those 3 countries normally, there's guaranteed to be some kind of friction. But if you distill it down to the pure human element, without selfish desires and stigmas attached to each of the nations' actions, then it would be a story of Earth and...

Honestly, this is some good advice that I'm going to try and follow myself!

That sounds pretty hilarious! I think I'll include a bunch of other system users who are themselves self-inserts who do things like these. I have one who's trying to become a politician with their high charisma, why not have someone try and form a cult? Great idea!

What you and other commenters have said gave me a lot of ideas on how to build the world, and the main interesting parts are from the MC's interactions with others and the witnessed ramifications of what such a world is like through his eyes. To that effect, I'm open to taking more interesting...
